Doug did a fantastic job painting my house!
To give some background, my house was within a year old and under my home warranty there were some cracks and nail pops in some walls and the ceiling due to the house settling. The builder is required to fix these issues and bring them to paint-ready under the home warranty. So, I needed a painter to paint over these spots. I called several painters with great reviews on HomeStars, and all (except for Doug) said that the entire ceiling had to be re-painted on the main floor, and entire sections of the the ceiling had to be re-painted in the basement and top floor because they said it's too hard to blend the paint. They also said entire walls had to be re-painted even though the spots requiring paint were only a couple of inches in size. Doug was the only painter that said he can touch up only the spots. In addition, the first day he came out to give me the quote, he did a spot test with existing paint the builders had left behind to see how it would blend. It worked, and the price Doug gave me was therefore a fraction of what the other painters wanted to charge me. This showed me how honest Doug is.
I gave Doug the job and he fit me into his busy schedule when he could. In the end, he did an outstanding job! The touch-ups are seamless, and if there were any spots that I noticed required extra touching up, he was happy to oblige (which is saying a lot because I am SUPER picky, as Doug learnt about me!). The best part is it cost me a fraction of what I would have had to pay if I went with the other painters. The fact that Doug was able to seamlessly blend in the paint shows to me what a skilled painter he is. He treats it like an art, which is why he didn't need to re-paint entire walls and ceilings like the other painters. And, his prices are very competitive.
I will definitely be calling up Doug again with any future paint jobs that I need done. I already know that I will be calling Doug to paint my garage in the Fall or next Spring. Thanks for the top-notch work, Doug!
