Revolution Painting & Renovation

Sokol did a wonderful job in removing the ugly popcorn ceiling in my newly purchased condo. The ceiling is nice and smooth with only minor imperfections, if you look closely for them. The original colour of the walls was an off-white eggshell, which I wanted to cover with a pure white. 2 coats were applied. In certain light, I can still see the yellowish hue of the old paint peeking through, which bothers me at times, so I wish that I had asked for 3 coats. Sokol was very clear in letting me know that if there was anything I needed touch ups on, that he would be happy to come in and do those, but at this point all of my furniture is already moved in and I don't want to go through the hassle of moving all my stuff again. I was very pleased to work with Sokol, because he is extremely prompt at responding to any questions, and always sent me updates on the progress of the project. He finished the project in a timely manner, and even painted some areas that were not part of the original agreement but badly needed a fresh coat. At the end of the day, I am happy that I called Sokol and appreciate his hard work, long hours, responsivity, and quality of work provided. Thank you!

Great customer service and great work -- Sokol was responsive, very helpful in planning, and flexible in the options for my jobs. He and his team took great care in the exterior painting job, including preparation by cleaning and filling holes, protecting areas/fixtures not to be painted, and cleanup afterwards. Inside, he and his team primed most of the house. His work was fast, high quality, and reasonably priced. I'll be sure to use Sokol for any of my painting needs in the future.

Sokol and his team were meticulous painters. They were able to accommodate us on very short notice and painted our entire home before we moved in. He even followed up the following week saying he could come by to do any touchups, but honestly, there was nothing to touch up.

I would recommend them to everyone

Sokol was a true professional and managed my popcorn ceiling removal/repair wonderfully from end to end. He was very polite both when initially providing an assessment and meeting in person, arrived exactly on time and completed the work in less time than was forecasted. Not only was the ceiling work completed with great results, but i was very impressed with how carefully Sokol and his team prepared my room with protective coverings to ensure my furniture and belongings were not impacted by the work. Overall all great experience and I would recommend Sokol and Revolution Painting to anyone.

They showed up on time as promised and finished in one day, including some extra patching and repairs that were unexpected.

They did a very good job repairing walls, painting walls and trim. They were very neat in their approach, covered floors and furniture. They also cleaned up at the end of each day. At the end of the job all furniture, switch plates, etc were put back.
I was very impressed that after my husband paid they came back the next day to see if I was happy with the job.

Sokol and his crew did an amazing job! Theg painted the walls, ceiling, trim and doors of our entire main floor, upstairs hallway and three bedrooms. They carefully patched all the cracks and damage before painting. They were able to match the Benjamin Moore colors I gave in the Sherwin Williams paint they used.

Easy to communicate with, high quality work, I would definitely recommend using Sokol and his crew for any paint job you have!

We recently had our home painted by Sokol and just want to express how pleased we are with the paint job. Our walls looks fantastic and the trim is crisp and clean. We don’t want to put our pictures back up because we love how our walls look ..lol. I would highly recommend Sokol. He is very professional and works very hard to please his customers.

Sokol is a true professional and leader in his craft of painting. We had Sokol over to our house to quote us on painting new jambs, casing, baseboard, shoe molding, crown molding, walls, ceilings and interior doors. He answered all our questions during the quoting phase and provided fair pricing on the items we wanted to add, after the initial quote. Once we agreed to proceed, finding a date that worked for both of us was painless. Sokol and his crew showed up on time and worked tirelessly until the job was done. Sokol was amazingly easy to work with and didn’t need any micromanaging to get a superior result. We’re very happy with the transformation of our home and as Sokol told me “a renovation isn’t done until its painted.” I would totally agree with him. Even with all the renovation work completed, it was Sokol’s professional painting skill, that brought it all together. Having dealt with a few dozen contactors, Sokol is a rare great find, in the world of contracting. I’m happy with the results and will have him back for future projects.

I tried to contact a number of painters for this project but had difficulty getting a response.I must assume it was a very busy period. I spoke with Sokol and arranged an appointment. He did not arrive at what I had recorded as the scheduled time but did show up at my door over a week later, which he had recorded as the date. He quoted the job. As I could not get a response from anyone else we went ahead.

They were timely, worked thoroughly and quietly throughout the three days that were scheduled, completing the job on time. I was concerned, when at the start of the walk through, Sokol stated that I should remember that no job is perfect. I thought this was a very odd position to be taken by a professional.

On quick inspection the job looks very good. He did a very nice job of repairing flaws and nail pops and reaching very hard to get at areas. The over all application of the treatments are smooth and even through out. However, there are a number of places where paint has been dropped on to the baseboard, the tile floor, and even on newly installed carpet.

In some places the paint is very thin and the old paint shows through while in others the new paint has strokes onto adjacent surfaces that were not being painted. And simple attention to detail - electrical wall plates had all the correct number and colour of screws before they started, but now but now several are missing and are mis-matched.

This is the first company that we have chosen through Homestars with which we have been disappointed.
