Hi Nancy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. At Dave’s Painters, we pride ourselves on being transparent and honest with all our clients, and I’d like to clarify a few points regarding your experience.

Firstly, no deposit was made for the project, which is a standard part of our process to ensure a good faith agreement before we begin work. Additionally, there were changes made to the scope of the project—such as the addition of ceiling paint—without prior discussion or mutual agreement. This, along with the lack of clarity around the wall paint, made it challenging to move forward smoothly.

I do recall making sure my workers did in fact return your furniture to the original positions they were in, including your large solid wood bed frame, free of charge.

We understand the importance of reliability, but we also rely on clear communication and agreements to maintain a healthy client-business relationship. Unfortunately, the conditions of this project didn’t align with the professional standards we set, which is why we ultimately had to step away.

We wish you the best with your future projects.

Best regards,
Dave Jones

Painted interior of home

Do not hire this company unless you are looking for a company that says one things and does another, splatters paint without cleaning it up (bathroom fixtures, toilet tanks, railings), sands walls without covering furniture so it was covered with dust, and damages floors with tape used to hold down protective paper. Further, when they spray painted the interior of the garage, they also sprayed paint onto the top panel of the outside of the garage door. To remedy this, they agreed to paint the outside of the garage door the colour of our choice - black. Somehow, we ended up with a brown door, as shown in the photo below. This customer is far from satisfied.

Dear Stan and Mary Ann

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We always strive to deliver the highest quality service, and I'm sorry to hear that your experience with Dave’s Painters didn’t fully meet your expectations.

Regarding your concerns about paint splatter on the floor and hardware, I want to assure you that a comprehensive clean-up was conducted at the end of the job. Our team takes pride in leaving each site in pristine condition, but we regret that you felt this was not the case. We encourage all our clients to communicate any concerns immediately so we can address them promptly.

As for the color of your garage door, it’s important to note that during our consultation, we discussed that black is not a vinyl-safe color, which could lead to long-term damage. This was communicated clearly, and the decision to use brown was agreed upon to ensure the durability and longevity of your garage door. Every step of this project, including color choices and final approvals, was confirmed with you before proceeding.

We take client satisfaction seriously and value open communication throughout the project. However, we did not receive any concerns or feedback from you outside of this review, which makes it challenging to address issues as they arise. We encourage all our clients to reach out directly if there are any questions or issues during or after the project so we can resolve them quickly.

Thank you again for your feedback. We hope this response clarifies any misunderstandings and educates future clients on the importance of transparency and communication during their projects.

Sincerely,

Dave - Dave’s Painters

Kitchen Cabinet Painting & Bedroom Closet

I reached out to Dave and his team to paint and make minor repairs to a clients kitchen & bedroom closets on very short notice and within a few days Dave and his team were able to complete a beautiful job and even went beyond to ensure all cabinets in the property were freshened up and updated myself and my client through out the process. I would definitely recommend Daves Painters to anyone looking for a very professional, polite, hardworking and dedicated team to work with! Thanks again Dave.

Painting inside and out completed our home update!

Dave painted our shutters to match our new door and also garage door frame. He also touched up areas of our fascia and window trim to cover up the peeling until we get new soffits and fascia. He was very responsive with communication and worked efficiently. See photos for before and after.

We then considered him for a large interior paint job to complete the updates on our large home and secured his services.

Dave and his team did a tremendous job! They were on time every day and took their time to make sure the painting was done with meticulous care. From trim to walls to stair bannisters, no detail was spared! See before and after photos. Very reasonably priced as well.

Would highly recommend!

general interior painting

Dave was agreeable and competent, completing all work in a timely fashion. He was able to meet my fussy standards, not easy since I am a former painter. My wife says the job looks great and she has no problems with anything. Dave likes his coffee. Providing him with the occasional cup will fine tune his performance.
