We recently purchased a new apartment. Given it was only 3 years old I was on the fence about getting it painted, but in the end figured it would be worth it. Especially as some of the walls were quite damaged already.
We agreed to get everything done barring the ceiling. The original paint was explained as being a low quality primer, intended for most people to paint over once they move in.
We took the upgrade to one of the harder wearing paints which given the overall cost was negligible, at the same time we opted to get the cupboards interiors done as well as all of the running boards etc. We were also told they'd use a specific bathroom paint too.
I loved that they were able to quote based on the email and dimensions they had, Joseph came out and walked the property with us once we had access, suggesting colours etc and finalising the quote. We hadn't moved into the apartment at the time of painting so I never met the team that came out, but the place was left super clean and tidy and the job itself was excellently done.
Finally Jenifer came out to do a final inspection with us. There was one area that hadn't been done to the same standard as the others. We knew prior to starting the project this would be the case as a very heavy sliding door hadn't been repaired and had to be painted around. Considering this the job was still well done, and Jenifer mentioned should we get it fixed and it is possible to reach the area properly they will be happy to come out and touch it up.
All in all the place looks fantastic and despite the cost being much higher than I originally thought it would be (note, I had multiple quotes and they all fell in a narrow band, I just thought it would cost about half of what it ended up being!!), we really feel like it was money well spent and would recommend and use ProRise again in the future.
