Overall, the completed paint job is good, not great. After several calls and text messages we were able to get someone out to redo ceiling repairs that were a part of the original quote, but not completely fixed. The painters were great - prepped and cleaned area and very pleasant. The initial contact with the CEO/owner was great.

I chose them out of few other options I had. After I was ready to start the work, Rob was very helpful in putting me on schedule at the earliest possible and his/Jorge's crew showed up on time and worked for 5 days very efficiently.
