BILL MARKS PAINTING

I had Bill do exterior painting a couple of years ago, and was extremely please with the quality of work and professionalism, so I called him to get an estimate on interior painting. As usual everything went very smoothly, Bill always checks to see if I have questions or concerns and that everything is going okay. He and the crew did a great job and actually finished ahead of his estimated schedule. I really enjoy working with Bill and his crew and would definitely hire him again.

Bill was very responsive and performed the work in a sooner than expected, amount of time. He was friendly & personable and the work was excellent. We’d definitely hire him again!

Bill and Isaiah were amazing. Many painters in our area hire subcontractors to perform the work, so quality can vary. Bill and Isaiah did the work themselves with one W-2 worker. The level of attention, customer consideration, and workmanship were outstanding. I would not hesitate to use them again. My strongest recommendation!

Bill Marks and his crew have worked on many projects for us over the years. They have helped us with interior and exterior painting, drywalling, remodeling our basement and office. They have also done other various jobs such as changing a door, putting up lights and artwork, sanding floors and even some tiling. They are professional, helpful and very trustworthy. I highly recommend them. They are always responsive and finish their projects in a timely manner.

My older home in NW Denver was pummeled by 3" hail in 2017, and after many rounds of repairs, it was finally ready for paint this summer. Nearly every contractor that came out to bid had a different idea of what constituted a proper paint job. I wanted two coats of a great exterior paint, with ample dry time between each coat, and primer in the bare spots. Bill Marks Painting was one of the few contractors I interviewed who was on board with that. (One competitor wanted to do "two wet coats," whatever that is.) I also had older windows that not only needed to be scraped and painted, but some needed to be reglazed -- which the younger contractors had no clue how to tackle. No problem for Bill Marks; he'd done it before. About a week later, his company provided a reasonable bid to paint my home, garage and fences. They had great online reviews, and I felt pretty confident that he was the right painter just from talking with him. For good measure, I also called a couple of his recent clients after driving by their homes to take a look, and they raved about him as well. So choosing this company was a no-brainer. In a few weeks, he and his crew -- among them, his talented son Isaiah -- were on the job, and I witnessed genuine, old-fashioned workmanship. They hand-brushed most of my job, as it was smaller, and their attention to detail was phenomenal. Not only that, every morning, Bill would check in to discuss what was done, what they were going to do that day and would ask if I had any questions or concerns. Wow! I am particular, and the few concerns I did have were quickly resolved. He also helped with other things, like adding an extra soffit vent. My house looked fantastic after they were finished! I should also mention that they cleaned up well every night, and even did things like clean my old storm windows thoroughly before hanging them back up. I am more than pleased and would recommend this company without hesitation. Five Stars for Bill Marks Painting!

Contacted via e-mail but never received any communication

Bill returned my initial call promptly, made an appt to give an estimate, showed up promptly and gave a very reasonable estimate for the work. He and his workers showed up promptly on the agreed upon day and completed the work in a clean and efficient manner. Bill and his workers were friendly and very helpful. No wasted time -- they did their work easily and neatly. They cleaned up the area when finished. No trash was left behind. I couldn't have asked for better work or workers !!

Beyond excellent. Bill and team are reliable, conscientious, and professional. They go out of their way to help on any task even those not painting related if I need help.

Great - excellent work and professionalism. We'd use him again.

He was very good.

I couldn't believe how professional they were while in my home! I never write reviews but felt that everyone should know about these guys! My neighbors across the street even used them after us! Trying to find a company you can trust with high quality and character is hard to find and I just found one.

I called Bill and he came over. We walked around the house and he described what the job entailed and how they would proceed. He gave me a contract to consider before he left. I had one other bidder. He was less expensive by about 10%. I thought Bill's price was fair and close to what I had in mind. After about six weeks they started the job on Monday and finished Friday. Bill and his three painters kept me informed daily as to progress. They cleaned up daily. Bill's son was one of the painters and was on site. Everything went as planned and I am delighted.

The process started out ok. Bill seemed like a reasonable person and his price was fair so after providing him with a detailed description of what needed done, I followed up by my expectations for the job because it was a level 5 drywall finish and I explained it needed to be done correctly. What followed was nothing short of a nightmare. In one day they completely destroyed the level 5 finish on the drywall. It was as if someone who had never painted before did the work. There were lap lines everywhere. There were roller marks between the ceiling and the wall that were 1/16" tp 3/8" think along the entire perimeter. He agreed that it was a horrible mistake and agreed to fix it. After a few hours with a palm sander he claimed it was fixed. The paint lap lines were so thick they could still be seen. It would have taken a week to sand the paint down to where it had started. Ironically when I first met Bill I asked him if he knew any painters that did really high end Faux work for one of the rooms in the basement. He gave me the name and his referral painter was on the Job working on the other rom the day the issues came up. So Bill asked the other painter what his opinion was on how to fix it. The other painter replied that the only way to get it right was to re-skim the entire basement with drywall mud and sand it down back to a level 5. The Faux painter was on a tight schedule and offered to skim the room he was working in so he could complete his job. Bill agreed to pay him for the repairs. He also agreed to pay me $700 (extremely reasonable) to hire a drywall crew to resurface the drywall. Long story short after the call when Bill said he would mail me a check for the drywall repairs I never heard from him again. I think he changed his phone number as I called many times had friends call, had the other painter call and had a GC who knew him try and reach him over the course of a month. I then sent a very nice letter asking to resolve this amicably and request he cut me a check for $3800 which is what it cost me to fix his mistakes and which he had already verbally agreed to pay me. He never responded once to all the calls and the nice email. Avoid this company at all costs. He cost me $3800 for making the wrong choice in a painter. No I have to pursue Liens against him, the BBB, and small claims court over $3800.00 :-( In the end the other painter helped me finish the job after the drywallers were done and he did an amazing job! Glad I had a back up!

Job went very well, Bill and the crew kept me informed on everything that was going on, good follow through and follow up, very professional. The painting job was excellent. My 44 year old house has a band new look! I took four bids/interviews from the best rated on Angie's list. Bill was not the cheapest, but I had confidence in the job he would do based on our first meeting, and he and his crew proved me true. I would recommend Bill and I would use him again.

Bill answered every question posed and provided a crew that was absolutely stellar. If you need a painter, this is the one you should use!

Bill was very personable and asked a lot of questions to get a clear picture of what we wanted done. He also had suggestions including how the insurance companies will sometimes work. At one point he correctly pointed out to the insurance claims person that you can't just stain the damaged part of the deck (the portion out in the open that was hail damaged) because it will make the whole deck look bad. The claim rep agreed and sent more money to cover the extra. His crew was very personable as well. Bill was calling frequently to advise what the status of the job was as he would not paint in the rain and we had plenty of rain. Through no fault of his, the paint store had a close but incorrect color match on the stain for the deck which made one section look darker. You could not tell when it was being applied. I purposely waited to see if he would say anything and he did and offered to come back and restain the whole deck for free (which we will probably take him up on). He did check on his crew periodically and performed some of the work himself. He also knocked some dollars off the final cost due to the stain problem. The house now looks super. There was water stain bleed through on the repaired drywall in the basement after two coats applied by a crew member so Bill came out and used an oil base product which took care of it. Sometime down the road we need to get the popcorn ceilings done. Bill mentioned we would get a discount if we had it done in the winter (he looks to keep his crews busy doing interior painting in the winter).

Work was performed by the owner Bill Marks who is a craftsman and perfectionist! He is very responsive and personable and keeps you informed every step of the way. You won't find anyone with the skills that surpass the quality of his work! It just doesn't get any better in my opinion. It is a rare occurrence to experience a person who takes pride in his work like the old world craftsmen did!!!

Bill and his crew were excellent. Their work was very high quality and they were very efficient. Bill is a nice guy and extremely easy to deal with. He was accommodating and flexible to our wishes and did everything he could to make sure we were happy with the end result. We would highly recommend him to anyone and plan to use his company again when we paint the interior of our home.

He came out within a few days to review the job and give us a quote. The work was scheduled the next week as we had a break in the weather. The job was per the estimated schedule and right on regarding the quoted price.

The project went very well. He was willing to do exactly what we wanted and he did it in a reasonable amount of time. When we walked around the project afterward, Bill fixed every item I pointed out. The quality of the work was excellent. He sprays and then back rolls the area. There was not a drop of paint spilled anywhere- seriously, not a drop. He said his men would act like gentlemen and they did. I was comfortable with my kids being outside while they worked. He suggested painting the foundation below the siding and simply included that in the project at no cost. We had to replace the back door window frame and that took a little time to get done. Bill agreed to come back and finish the door. He offered me a $50 bill to secure his promise. After talking with him for a little while I really felt that his word was a good enough guarantee.

Bill was extremely helpful and professional. They performed the work for exactly the amount quoted. The team who did the work arrived when expected and completed the work just as promised. Due to some rain, we might have gone one day longer than the original plan, but that was unavoidable. In the end, the team and Bill went over the final house inspection with us, and were more than willing to touch a spot here or there as requested. They kept the site clean, and kept the paint only where it belonged. We were very satisfied with the final product!

Kimberly was very helpful in helping me select colors. Bill's team was very friendly and did the job quickly. Bill was very accommodating when I changed my mind several times on trim options. We paid a little extra for more detailed trim. We used four colors overall. The only negative was drips on rocks, patios, and my hardwood floor when they did the front door. They should have done a better job using drop clothes, but all spots were cleaned up. Overall I would use them again and have recommended them to others.

They were exceptional. The painter we had used before them did a terrible job and they were able to fix all the mistakes the other painters made. They were very careful with their work and they even helped us with other work around the house. I will use them again and would recommend them.
