Best Painter I have ever hired. I contacted Walt in early July. After meeting him, I had a good feeling about him. But I didn't want the job to be done until I was on break from work in October. He was no pressure, when ever I wanted it. Explained that I wanted to brighten up the room, the color I had was dark. He made some good suggestions that I went with. I was not disappointed. Great Customer service. Took pride in prepping the walls and baseboard. He was a clean painter very organized with a plan. He knew I would need a second coat on the walls, and he was 100% right. The work was done in 2 days. With his experience he made it look simple. I have several more paint jobs, and I will be hiring Walt. Thank you Walt.

Walt is a gem! He transformed our Boys & Girls Club building - the kids, staff, and parents absolutely love it. He arrived early and was super flexible to accommodate our site conditions. He took time to prep the build’s surface so the finish last. Very professional. I would recommend him and plan to call him again for projects at our other locations.

Walt’s Quality Painting just finished painting our kitchen cabinets. I cannot recommend Walt enough. He gave us an estimate the day he came to look at our project. He is efficient, extremely punctual, and his quality work is second to none. Walt has been in this business for a long time, and he knows his stuff. He is the real thing if you want old-school craftsmanship, and takes extreme pride in getting the project exactly as you want. My kitchen is beautiful. He also did trim work on our kitchen island for a beautiful new look. We are already lining him up for extra projects. My kitchen was extremely clean after each day he worked, and zero clean up after completion. The icing on the cake is Walt is an extremely pleasant person to be around. His price was more than fair and less than I thought to get this done. Thanks again, Walt, for a beautiful kitchen!

I recently hired Walt to paint the exterior of my house. A little background. I haven't painted my house since moved in about 15 year ago, and due to the landscaping (sprinklers) and sun damage, quite a few window trims and a section of the front of the house needs to be replaced. I got 3 quotes from 3 Angil recommended companies, initially, Walt wasn't in the list. I read all the reviews, and think Walt's high rating warrants a call so I called him for a quote as well. Walt came over a couple of days later, he walked around my house and pointed out all the areas that need to be fixed before being painted. He also mentioned to me that he works with a carpenter to get the repairs done before the painting begins. Out of all 4 quotes I got, Walt was the second most expensive, but the conversation with him made me confident that he'd do a good job. His friend Dave and his son fixed all the wooden structures around the house, and Walt prepped, primed, and painted every single. I must say that he did a great job, as you can see from the photos. He also warrant his work for 3 years, and I'm fully confident the house will not need a new coat of paint for at least 10 years. Walt may not offer the cheapest prices, but his thoroughness and expertise are very valuable.

Walt was all around great. He was professional, respectful and polite. He was referred to me by my next door neighbor who used him and was super pleased with the results. He views his work with an artistic eye. For him, painting is not just a job. He is precise, with great attention to detail.

Always read reviews but rarely write one however when I have such quality work performed, at a reasonable price I am compelled to spread the word about a great business! Walt is a master of his trade, takes the time to explain the whole process and offers competitive pricing. I couldn't be happier with my re-painted kitchen cabinets. Thank you Walt, it was a pleasure working with you!

We just had the BEST experience in over 20+ years of home ownership. We found a treasure: Walt's Quality Painting. The man is incredible. He did EXACTLY what he promised and MORE. Punctual, polite, warm, professional, kind and TALENTED. Really truly LISTENED and delivered results in less time than stated. Price was ABSOLUTELY reasonable and within our budget. His craftsmanship is only matched by his character which is OUTSTANDING. The true test? Our 3 dogs loved him from the first minute. Dog know. THANK YOU WALT. See you soon.

We'd strongly recommend Walt for any painting project. Our front door was peeling and the underlying wood was deteriorating. Walt arrived promptly when scheduled, gave us several repair options, including the option to buy a replacement door rather than use his services to repair the existing one. In the end we chose a refinishing option that was less expensive than the original quote. The result is beautiful. Walt's experience, professionalism, attention to detail and obvious concern that we get a good result made this project a pleasure. We will use Walt for future painting and refinishing projects.

Walt from Walt's painting made "A's" on every reviewable category listed and A+ from me as homeowner. Walt was timely, meticulous and work quality nothing short of perfect. My cabinets look as if they were white from factory. Interior walls and ceiling of my 60 year old home look fantastic. Patches to sheet rock excellent. I have hired for multiple home improvement jobs in my years as home owner and investment home owner. Walt restored my faith in "pride of workmanship". He is friendly and unobtrusive, punctual and never once left the job site to get products or tools. I cant recommend Walt and his services to highly. Friendly and efficient, works til the work is done right.

I highly recommend Walt if you’re looking for a quality paint job. Thanks to him, my house looks worlds better than it had. He did a great job on its 1950’s wood siding. Not only was I impressed by the end result, but I was also impressed by his attention to detail, his work ethic, and promptness. Although he worked alone and it was very hot, he prepped and painted my house in six days. When he came to give me an estimate, he looked the house over thoroughly, pointed out all of the problems with the wood and old paint, and explained the steps he’d take to treat/prep them before he started painting. Also, he guided me in choosing the color scheme for my house. He checked in with us each day, so we always knew when he was going to arrive and leave.

Walt came and listened to what we wanted, took measurements and explained everything he was going to do. Sent us a detailed competitive quote documenting everything he would do and gave us a start date and expected completion date which we accepted. Walt arrived every day on time, covered floors and interior surfaces, worked diligently while here and cleaned up every day. The job was completed to our satisfaction one day early. Walt uses state of the art equipment and old school knowledge to achieve painting perfection. Walt is an example of a craftsman who promises perfection and over delivers on his promise. I will contact Walt for further painting projects at our home and would recommend him to all.

After interviewing 3 others on Angie’s list. I decided because Walt was patient and explained everything that would be needed to be done as well as things that might come up and that he would be the only person doing this job except for maybe a carpenter that needed to replace dry rot in some areas. he offered help because the colors on trim were so dark and house main color was to bright of a white. Walt I feel was honorable in what he explained. He promised a 2week turn around provided no unsuspecting dry rot came up. Price was pretty high but after reading other reviews felt his attention to detail would be worth it. We will schedule this to be done in late spring as weather is getting dicey.

I called several painting companies to get estimates. I appreciated Walt getting back to me. Not everyone returned my call. Walt offered a very good price and was very helpful when it came to picking out paint colors. He replaced some rotting wood, removed dated exterior wood features, and painted the house exterior and attached pergola. Walt was prompt, professional, and easy to work with. I hope to use him on future projects. Highly recommend.
