Lindel Painters

We recently had Lindel Painters paint the interior of our home. They were recommended to us by a neighbour because they had done an outstanding job on the exterior of their home.

Peter (owner/manager) provided a detailed quote, laying out the type and brand of paint he would use for each area, the preparation and repairs he would do (damaged drywall, cosmetic ceiling cracks, visible construction gaps, etc.) and specified how he would handle any special jobs (e.g. painting kitchen and built-in cabinets).

Peter and his team did an outstanding job. They are all hard working, highly competent, personable professionals. They arrived on time, were tidy, and struck the correct balance between being fast and providing a high-quality result. They always ensured we knew what the plan was for each phase and any changes they needed to make to their schedule.

Peter and his team went out of their way to ensure we were happy with the result. We made a change in the colour plan part way through the job. His team helped us with the decision by volunteering to paint a sample area to let us see if the idea worked. In areas exposed to more wear, they applied extra coats of paint when doing so would help. They took care in removing and reinstalling fixtures, drapes, valances, door and window hardware, etc.

The sprayed-on finish to the kitchen and built-in cabinets is outstanding. The kitchen cabinets proved challenging due to the glass in the doors not being removable, leaving the old colour exposed when looking at the inside of the door. Peter went out of his way to find a solution to mask the old paint by purchasing, precision-cutting and installing strips of vinyl tape that very effectively hides the old paint colour.

We will be using his team again to paint the exterior. We highly recommend Lindel Painters.

First off, let me say, I am not an easy client. But Peter (the owner/manager) was always very professional. His team is full of hard workers (we had up to 6 people at the house on some days). They came early were quiet and tidy, precise and fast.
When we decided it was time to paint our house, I got quotes from 5 painting companies. The first 2 quotes were underwhelming and so I continued to get some more. Some quotes were one page long and not very detailed, others were 10 pages long and very verbose but not very detailed. Peter's was the best, he detailed things like: application for each area of the house; paint to be used; type of primer; what caulking he would use, and the larger areas that he would re-caulk. That thoroughness continued throughout the project.
Something I learned after, but should have considered before is that he employs his painters, he doesn't contract them, and I think this comes through in their desire to be as thorough as possible - they know Peter's standards and they all work to achieve them on each project.
We had paid a colour advisor come to the house to help us chose colours, but the darkest of the three colours did not turn out as we expected it, so they very patiently worked on prepping and painting other areas while we sorted it out. There was no pressure, they wanted us to be happy. Were I to do it again, I would use Peter's colour consultant, who he offered to send over a the beginning.
After the job was done, we had roofers doing some work and they commented that even higher up on the house, where no one will ever see, the painters got into the nooks and crannies with the same attention to detail as they had shown lower down.

Needed a 1500 square foot condo repainted in quickly and professionally. The did an outstanding job. No mess cleaned up wonderfully and we had a couple of spots missed and they were back the same afternoon to correct. Price was exactly as quoted with no surprises. The have full WCB coverage and all painters are bonded.
