BENTLEY PAINTING

The first time I called, it sounded like I woke him up (at 2:30 pm). We scheduled a meeting for estimate the following day. Waited for 30 min after the scheduled time, then called to ask where he was. First call didn't answer and went to voicemail. Second call he picked up right away, then said "oh, uh, I forgot. My shoulder hurts and I'm not going to be able to do the job. sorry I didn't call. *click*" DO NOT EVER USE THIS PERSON.

Jeff was very friendly, and sent us a bid quickly. He was always available by phone, and arrived when he said he would at all times. He was also in contact to let me know their schedule (due to rain). The job was quick, one week was what he estimated, and it took one week. We were very happy with the results.

He did an excellent job at a reasonable price. I've had bad painters in the past, and this was a pleasant experience. I'd use him again and recommend him to others.

Jeff is terrific and his principle assistant, Lee, was also. His entire crew of several other painters were good workers, fast, complete, and courteous. Jeff worked with us on colors with good suggestions. They washed the windows and cleaned up everything after the finished painting. Jeff also did a little extra touch up work, and dated and labeled the leftover paint for further touch up in the future. They used quality paint. Very professional in all respects. Jeff and Lee are perfectionists. The price listed was to Jeff for the painting only. The scaffolding was contracted separately with Pacific Scaffold for $4700. They also did a fine job.

Painters arrived promptly every day at 8AM. Everyone was cheerful, polite, and professional in demeanor. All work was meticulously done, even to detailing with water-color-size brushes. A designer had put together the color scheme for the front of the house, and then Jeff competently steered the selection of the proper "white" for the other three sides. The house looks absolutely wonderful.

It has been a month and a half ago and I am very happy with the workmanship. I had an excellent overall experience with this company. The painting job looks fantastic and I will call them again.
