Call Jamie Painting&Drywall

Jamie and his crew were excellent and the quality of work and his wiliness to get the job done around our schedule. This included working over the weekend to complete the never ending 2 year mudding project in just 4 days (included priming and painting). Before I get into the review I wanted to make a note that Jamie has been having some trouble returning inquires via HomeStars so when you contact him make sure you either contact him directly via the phone number in his profile or include your contact info in the inquiry so he can call you back. I can even tell you he responds to inquires/notes left on his van as was the case while it was parked outside my house. This resulted in him picking up a job to repair water damaged ceilings across the street at my neighbour’s house.

As for my project, I originally contacted Jamie when I finally gave up (or was told depending on who you talk to) on mudding my basement which included walls and ceilings. The provided quote included cleaning up and finishing my mudding project as well as priming and painting. Given that some of the walls were in some state of progress already I was not sure what to expect, but once we got the quote which was very reasonable we agreed on having him complete the entire project. They were able to start two weeks after I confirmed, after just 4 days the basement was completed and painted. Thank you Jamie, you made it look way to easy and still leave me wondering why I waited 2 years to get it finished by a professional. The project was made complicated by two large curved walls, but he took the time and effort to make sure they were perfect and was willing to touch up places where I saw some minor defects or in the case of the yellow paint not covering the walls completely he applied a third coat. He even went the extra bit to help me box in the last support post I have left due to indecision so the entire basement had a completed look (refer to red posts in attached pictures)

While he was working on the basement my wife and I decided to have him provide a quote on painting the entire house for curiosity sake. And for the last week Jamie’s painter (Tom) has been working through our house room by room. After 9 years and some bad paint matching the house is finally starting to return to look new again.

You have to meet Jamie and talk to him to understand why people give him such good reviews and why it was so easy for us to extend the original job since it is hard to find a someone that takes such pride in the work they do that he is willing to travel back to Ottawa from Calgary so he can continue to support the warranties of his past and returning customers.

As I type this review the painting of the house is almost complete and I have already scheduled more of Jamie’s time when he comes back in Mid-December to mud the final storage rooms in the basement that were full of everything I packed in them for the first mudding job. Jamie does split his time between Calgary and Ottawa but he has great crews in both cities so just contact him and he can give you dates when he can fit you in. I may be over selling but I need him back in December to complete my basement project and he usually makes the trip to Ottawa when his dance card is looking full?

I have attached several pictures to this review showing the before and after pictures of my basement. As I mentioned in the beginning make sure you send Jamie your contact information in your request to make sure he is able to contact you.

Looking forward to working with you again Jamie.
