Estes Painting Services was started in the 2001 by Mike Estes. Additional phone number: (205) 918-8982 2059188962 Award winning. Additional DBA - Estes Painting Corporation
I have a second home in North Alabama and was unsuccessful in finding a local, reliable contractor. I asked Mike Estes if he could travel the 120 mile distance and he said yes. I e-mailed him photos and requirements and we agreed on a price over the phone. His crew started on the agreed date and finished by the end of the week. They did an excellent job. The Estes crew is able to solve whatever problems arise on their own initiative. Mike Estes consulted with me when there were issues that needed an owner decision. They were agreeable to tackle little things that we didn't initially discuss. If larger items came up that were outside the scope of the original agreement they were willing to re-negotiate a reasonable add-on to the original work order. I had been told that my house would require lift equipment to reach some high areas by several other contractors that bid. Mike Estes's crew was able to get to all the surfaces without the cost of lift equipment. The end result looks great and I was very pleased with all aspects of their work. If you have a lake home or even beach home that needs paint and are looking for reliability I understand that Estes may be able to travel to your site.

Onsite estimate within a few days. Scheduled work and kept to schedule. Workers cleaned up daily. Owner made second onsite review just prior to work beginning and inspected work periodically. Very responsive to a couple of minor corrective action items. Workers were courteous. Would highly recommend.
Description of Work: Painted exterior of house. Included cleaning, scraping, caulking, priming and painting. Used premium paint. Refinished front wood door and added new lock set unit. Also painted metal outdoor furniture.
It went very well. We set an appointment a week in advance and they arrived on time and worked on the job everyday until they finished. The timing was a little tricky because I was also having a new kitchen floor and new kitchen sink installed about the same time as the painting so coordination between the different contractors was very important. Mike Estes and his crew were great at accommodating the timing between the crews and any changes that came up. He didn't even charge me for a couple of the small changes that I decided to make later. I will say Estes was a little higher than other estimates I received but the extra cost was well worth it. And Mike knows so many other excellent service providers and contractors. I used his plumber, his carpenter, and his decorator. I would have used his tile man but he already had too many jobs ahead of mine. They cleaned up everything after the job was finished: dirt & dust, paint splatters, cleaned the windows, carpet, and cabinets. I was able to work from home a few days they were on-site, but I had no problem leaving a key with Mike so they could come and go as needed. And they had no problem with my miniature Schnauzer dog and my 10 year old son running around the house and yard all week. My son didn't want them to leave! I gave them a B for Responsiveness because there are a few small blemishes and that should be repaired and they have not made it back yet. I know he's very busy managing several jobs all over the Birmingham area but hopefully they can come back soon.
Description of Work: Estes Painting Company prepped, primed, and painted most of the interior of my home. The job included the whole kitchen including the cabinets, laundry room, den, foyer, downstairs bath, upstairs hallway, all doors, molding, trim work, and ceilings. They also refurbished my 15 year old deck by replacing all the old cracked lumber, pressure washed and applied high-quality solid color deck paint. And they repaired the torn deck screens and steps.
I am very pleased. Mike was prompt, courteous, and professional. His crew worked hard, and they took pride in their results. All the work was done as agreed in the estimate, exactly according to schedule. There were even several small things that Mike and his employees noticed and handled without additional charge. It was clear that they all wanted to do the right thing and satisfy their customer. The next time I have any work that Estes Painting can do, they'll be the only call I make.

Excellent work and professional relationship. Responded quickly with estimate, which was higher than some, but his response was quicker and more professional than others. His professionalism, honesty and reviews in Angie's List convinced me that he was the man to trust. He honored the Angie's List discount. He showed up on time and did the work quickly even though we were absent. Our house is a craftsman's bungalow so it has some interesting trim. His work on the unique trim was sharper than before, making it more beautiful than it has been since we bought the house. I am very happy with the work and highly recommend Estes.

I originally had issues with the service which is prone to happen from time to time with any service. More importantly Mike rapidly answered all correspondence whether by email or text. The repairs are now complete and working well. Errors are always going to happen but this company will rapidly pursue any issue and correct till customer satisfaction even after being paid. Will absolutely use again.

Very good experience. There was not a long wait from agreeing to a contract and the job starting. Work was very good and the painters were respectful to our home and properity. They always cleaned up at the end of the day and stored their equipment out of view from our neighbors. Did a very good job. I would refer them to friends.

This was work that had to be done quickly to complete an appraisal for refinance. Mike came out the afternoon I called to give me a quote and was on the job two days later. The job was completed ahead of schedule and on budget and Mike could not have been better if he had wanted to! All terms were spelled out in the original quote and there were no surprises, except for getting it done faster than the mortgage company expected. When he noticed that there were some short missing pieces of 1x2, he didn't just nail it back up, he called his carpenter, got longer pieces that would not fall off, and replaced it the way it should have been put up originally. The carpenter was very fast and did not slow down the process at all! He uses HIGH QUALITY paint, which is a little more expensive, but hopefully it will last a bit longer in the direct sun that we get... not a single shade tree in the yard!

Mike Estes, the owner, was very responsive and professional from the beginning to the end of the project. He arrived promptly after my initial call to give an estimate. We were so pleased with the initial work that we added additional work (interior painting and garage repair) later on. His workers are professional and did a great job cleaning up after themselves. I have worked with a lot of contractors over the years, and Estes Painting was the best.
Description of Work: Painted exterior doors and trim on brick home, repaired rotten sofits, cleaned and repaired leaky gutters, painted several interior rooms, replaced and painted all siding on freestanding garage and some rotten siding on house, replaced and painted garage doors, repaired insulation around two exterior doors on house, removed old floodlights on second story and capped wiring

Overall the project was successful and my house looks great. The only thing I am disappointed in is the estimates. Initial estimate didn't include cedar siding replacement materials - which was $700. There were also a few other nickel and dime estimates as well which added up. Once they got started though, they were professional, timely, and cleaned up after themselves. They also accommodated my timelines. They were also flexible. As far as service is concerned I would highly recommend them; however, if you plan on using them please get a detailed cost breakdown on what it includes and what it doesn't include and have them sign it. If everything is included they need to say that, if something isn't they need to say that as well. I would use them again because the house looks great.

Everything was great! When they left each day, you couldn't even tell they had been there because everything was cleaned up. Very professional and helpful. Cleaned all the windows with windex before re-installing the storm windows! Pressure washed and scraped everything before painting. I love it!

Estes provided us with, what we considered, a reasonable estimate, and we gave them the OK. A couple of days later, a crew of three came to the house at 8:00 AM. They worked continuously for two days and finished late on the second afternoon. They were very professional, and they did a great job. I would not hesitate to use them again.
Description of Work: Our 30 year old house still had the original wallpaper. We removed the wallpaper, repaired the sheetrock and painted the kitchen ourselves. After removing the paper in the foyer, downstairs hall, stairwell and upstairs hall, we called Estes Painting for an estimate on finishing the job. We could not reach the wallpaper in the top of the stairwell, so it had to be removed. There was also a lot of wallpaper paste removal, sheetrock repair, sanding, priming and painting that remained to be done.

The price was probably reasonable for what they did. I didn?t get any competitive bids. I just needed someone who I could depend on and it seemed like they were very reliable. There was a lot of work to be done. They did a fabulous job. They were outstanding and professional. There was something that was inappropriate but everybody else was just great. They were kind of on and off sometimes when it came to their punctuality. If need be, then I would use their services again.

The day after I called Estes Painting, Mike Estes, the owner, arrived promptly for our meeting and gave me a detailed estimate. He began work within 2 weeks and finished in 4 days. His work crews arrived on time and worked steadily each day. The painters did a beautiful job and my deck is level once again! Mr. Estes is a very professional & honest contractor and he will be my "go-to" man for all future home maintenance & painting.

I am waiting for other estimates before I take a decision to use their services but they are in the running and I liked them. My husband thinks that the price is a little high but I haven?t got any other estimates. So I have to compare and see. We haven?t had much experience with them so far. I might use their services in the future.

Mike and his crew worked dilligently to complete the job within one week, as I requested. They found a number of rotten areas on the exterior of my house. They were able to repair these places and in some cases add flashing to prevent future rotting. I was extremely pleased with the job, their diligence and courtesy. When they were done, the house looked as never before. I live in what was once a mining shack in the late 1800's. It has seen a lot of wear and tear over the years. Mike and his crew did a few extra things like replace my exterior flood lights, which I supplied.

Took much more time and many more decisions that I imagined. Almost two weeks, then a gap while new windows installed, then more painting, but Mike and crew worked with me the whole time.
Description of Work: Light pressure washing to wood and Masonite house. Extensive repairs of rotten deck posts, undersiding of eaves, and some siding. Detailed painting of 120 steel rails on deck. Main painting job was wooden siding, eaves, molding, and posts of large wood-frame house.

Excellent job! Mike returned my call the same day - which was a holiday. He came out very quickly to review the job and he put together an estimate within 24 hours. We were able to schedule the work to begin within a week of the estimate. Mike was great at advising what we could salvage versus what needed repair and/or replacement. There were several items he found after the crew started working that could not be salvaged and he gave me a quick estimate on the additional work so there were no surprises. He told me where we could cut corners to save money if we wanted, but we decided to complete all the repairs he suggested. He was even able to find a new exterior door for our garage that was beyond repair but was an odd size. Mike's team are punctual and professional. They showed up on time every day, worked hard and they cleaned everything up after they were done. Mike chose the paint to match the original color of the house and it looks great - like a brand new house!

Overall, we are happy with the results, everybody was very courteous, friendly, and patient with us. Mike is a very conscientious person, he always checked to make sure everything was done properly, corrected whatever needed to be corrected, and did not leave until we were fully satisfied with the work. He did ask for partial payments couple of times before the project was complete, but all work was thoroughly finished as promised. We plan to have him and his guys back for interior painting, we trust them to do a great job.
Description of Work: Our house is 15 years old, not painted for at least 5 years since we bought it. Initially, we only planned on having our house (2-story, 3-sides brick) and deck painted, but it turned out that three of our windows were not caulked properly and there was some old damage from leaks and termites. The garage door needed to have wood frame replaced. The painting estimate on the house and the deck was about $6,400 (lower than another estimate from a different company), but the carpentry work and one whole window replacement was another $3,000. The work took about 3-4 weeks (with rainy weather and wait for the custom made window). We made a mistake by not consulting a professional decorator and chose wrong color for the deck. After consulting a specialist that Mike recommended, we had our deck repainted and were only charged for the cost of paint (`~$340.00). We also had outdoors light fixtures replaced, ceiling in the kitchen repainted, front door and garage door painted, windows, deck, and driveway all washed.

Very pleased. The advice Mike gave was well informed and welcomed. He and his crew had an energetic and friendly attitude toward getting the job done right. The color choices included some advice from an associate of his who gave us some excellent suggestions. Mike suggested painting the storm screen frames the same color as the rest of the house and repainting the chimneys on the roof. He made an extra effort to insure that the job was satisfactory. When it became clear that the originally proposed minor repairs to the kitchen double doors would result in less than what we both wanted, he proposed replacing the rotted doors with new doors and gave us a good price on the additional work. We are well pleased with the work done by Mike and his crew and will keep them in mind for any future work. We will also refer friends and associates to him.
Description of Work: Mike scrubbed and otherwise prepared and painted the wooden part of the outside of the house, steamed cleaned and sealed a large deck, made repairs to a door frame off the sunroom, removed and replaced the double doors entering on to the deck from the kitchen and made several other painting improvements.
