Jeff, Jeffry, Donato, Carlos & Andy did an excellent job thoughout. This is the first time we have ever had to paint the exterior of a home and we approached with much trepidation. The Franklin crew made it so easy and they listened and responded to us as the cutomer. No hesitation in recommending and using Franklin again.

The entire team was pleasant and professional from the estimator to the crew. Everyone came on time and well-prepared for the day's work. They cleaned up at the end of each day. The foremen talked to us daily to review the day's work and prepare for the next. They went above and beyond expectations to accomodate an older family member who could not easily leave the house. The paint job is beautiful and flawless. The first floor has never looked better. I cannot say enough good things about this company. I will only use them in the future.
Description of Work: They prepped and painted all painted surfaces, including ceilings, window trim and stair risers, in the kitchen, dining room, living room, stairwell, mud room, walk-in pantry. They washed and polyurethaned old wooden cabinets, staining and finishing some unfinished wood window frames to match.

The contracted work was done fast and the result was exactly as expected. I was especially pleased with the way my furniture and fixtures were protected during the removal of the wallpaper and how well the mess was cleaned up. The entire project was completed in 3 days and 2 of the rooms were very large. The workmen were polite, clean and neat and my phone calls were always answered within 24 hours.

Having stated the above facts, I can only say that EVERYTHING, from start to finish, was done perfectly. I would be thrilled to provide references for Franklin Painting at any time and can honestly say that each and every member of the painting 'team' was a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: After contacting Frank, he promptly provided a comprehensive estimate for exterior painting of our entire house. Franklin Painting was one of 4 estimates that i requested and his estimate was 3rd in price. His team excelled in their communication skills and ALWAYS let me know when they would arrive and the amount of work they would complete (weather was, of course, a factor). Prior to the painting, our house required some carpentry repair first. Frank is associated with a subcontractor who also provided an estimate and completed a very satisfactory job of the repairs. We were especially pleased with the professionalism and quality of work performed. Andy, who was the lead for the team, was able to foresee potential problems and went out of his way to correct them before the painting was to be done on the 'problem' area. Exceptional cleanup was always completed at the end of their work days. The overall work was completed on time and both my husband and I are thrilled with the job. Our house looks brand new!!!!

It went perfectly - they were in and out quicker than I could believe and they did precision work in a timely and clean manner.
Description of Work: I had an entire room painted, all of the (extensive) woodwork painted and then trim put on the wall by his carpenter. The trim then had to be painted.

I will start with the bottom line. This company provided me with outstanding professionals. Job was started on time. Job was finished on time. Three men on the job everyday for 8 hours until completion. The work was done with an organized work schedule and procedure everyday. The men worked with pride in doing the job the right way and caring about the outcome. I still can't find a spot of paint or dust anywhere. Conclusion: outstanding job from start to finish. Hard to find this quality work ethic anymore.
Description of Work: Job was for interior paint including ceilings (some over 12 feet) walls, changing all trim from natural wood to white. This included doors, window trims (very detailed) and moldings. Repair work was done to walls and ceilings which involved patching sanding and stripping wall paper.

My initial call for a free estimate was returned the same day and Frank came out the very next day and gave me a complete and fair estimate right then (instead of getting back to me with an estimate which is what the 3 others I called did ). He was very professional and VERY knowledgeable about what could be done to fix my ceiling problems. Offered suggestions on alternate ways to get the job done than what I had thought I needed done. And his suggestions actually saved me money and time and ended up looking really great. The team of 3 men were right on time for the job, very nice and professional and very thorough. The work was done efficiently because they had great equipment to make the job go fast with no mess plus they really knew what they were doing. They cleaned up beautifully and were very friendly. I am very happy with the whole process and the completed job. I plan to use Franklin Painting again and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Repaired water damaged ceiling problems, including taping, and painting. I also had a water damaged ceiling in a kitchen pantry (5' x 5' area) and they put in a brand new ceiling there and painted it. I had a bathroom ceiling that had holes in it from water damage and they took out the bad and replaced the boards/drywall and then painted it and it like brand new.

Frank came over, gave me an estimate - was a little on the high-end but he explained how you pay for what you get so I thought we would give them a try. The work that was done was extensive - 2 full rooms that are quite large. I was amazed at how quickly and precisely it was done. The crew was extremely friendly and professional and literally did not make any mess. Frank then stopped by to review the work once it was completed. Very professional.
Description of Work: 2 rooms - both identical. Intricate wallpaper with very detailed edging.....also they painting my ceilings in a suede finish. The results are fantastic - perfect. And I am very very picky. They did what I would consider to be a luxury caliber job. Am going to continue hiring them to do the rest of my house (as I can).

They were very punctual and answered my call first time. The owner called me back to give me a estimate but afteer discussing the scope of the project we decided that hourly would be better since the work keep expanding. At first that would seem scary but they were MORE then fair and I feel I got every dollar's worth. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. Don't hesitate at all.
Description of Work: We had them patch some cracks and trim some built outs in my daughters room which included putting new molding up to solve a problem. They also painted some walls that take abuse from two children.

This was not the first time Franklin Painting did work for us. Earlier this fall they power washed our house and deck. The finished product made the house look as though it had been repainted. The total cost was $400 and worth every penny! But...on to the recent painting project. After confirming the date, price, and amount of time the project would take, a team of 3, Andy, Jeff & Jeff arrived promptly at 8:30 AM on day one. While the original projection was 1 1/2 days to complete, I was quite skeptical of the timeline. By the end of the first day, they had completed taping and painting all the rooms on the first floor and taped the rooms on the second floor. By mid-morning of the second day, they had perfectly completed the entire job. In addition, they painted the crown molding in our living room (at my request) and did NOT charge me for the extra task. This team of very professional painters was extremely cordial, tidy, and VERY efficient!!!!!! When they left by noon on the second day, everything had been cleaned up and furniture rearranged. I was left with bright white ceilings that looked brand new!!! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!!!!
Description of Work: The most recent work done by Franklin Painting was to paint ALL the ceilings in our home. This included 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 dining room, kitchen living room, den, breezeway, 2 large hallways and 2 staircase ceilings.

Franklin Painting did a PERFECT job in every way. They started by recommending the appropriate sheen and color of paint. They spent a fair amount of time doing prep work - fixing small cracks, dings, nail pops, etc. The painting job itself was excellent - very neat, no splatter, no paint where it didn't belong etc. and a beautiful, professional result. We had a small area of trim that needed touchup and they did a great job carefully matching the color to the original. The painters were very pleasant and professional throughout the process. They completely cleaned up - our house was actually cleaner when they left!

This company is very professionally run, and a pleasure to deal with. They promptly provided an estimate, explained exactly what I should expect, negotiated start dates and when they needed to change anything about their plans, notified me promptly, did the work (including some carpentry) and cleaned up wonderfully afterwards. My calls were always returned promptly and the whole team was courteous and professional.

We have had trouble with pealing since a few years after we moved into our home approximately 20 years ago. Several years ago, we asked Franklin Painting for an estimate to repaint the home. Frank said he would not take the project unless we had the home sandblasted, because he did not believe we would be happy with the result. We decided to hire another painter who said he could sand the pealing areas and prevent pealing in the future. To make a long story short, the house was pealing again with 2-3 years. So this time we decided to follow Frank's advice. Let's hope we are as happy with the results in 2-3 years as we are right now. Once the project started, the team showed up as expected each morning and cleaned up completely before they left in the evening. They were on site almost 2 weeks (with a couple of rain days off). They worked steady and were very professional (e.g., no loud noises, yelling, blaring radios, etc.). They were a great group to have around your home.
Description of Work: Complete exterior painting, including surface preparation (the entire house had been sandblasted by a different contractor, down to the bare wood), undercoating and finish coat. The main color was sprayed, while the trim was brush painted. The painters also repaired minor surface flaws in the wood that they noted during their work.

Best painting company I've ever seen. The workers are polite, prompt, professional and extremely hard working and detail oriented. They repainted walls we didn't like. They came up with painting ideas and created the most beautiful faux finish in our dining room (using tissue paper and a metallic glaze) that resembles a textured finish. Just beautiful. It's eye catching, unique, but best of all will add value to my house upon selling. This house went from drab to fab because of them. Even though they are expensive (you get what you pay for) they have added value to our house. It's an investment. Not to mention what a joy it is to see your house come alive.
Description of Work: Repaired walls, prepped and painted our 8,000 sq. ft. house every room, practically every surface. Did trim, windows, ceilings, walls, doors and epoxied our garage floor. Painted our garage and stairs. They sanded, caulked and filled in holes and cracks. Also hired them to paint my mother's house; entire interior except for one room.

Fantastic! Andy's team was clean, neat, and well organized. Their preparation was thorough, all wall imperfections were completely repaired, and primer was applied. The finish coats are perfect. (I refinish antique furniture and am somewhat of a perfectionist, their work is outstanding.) Cleanup was very good. They follow the rule, "The customer is always right." It has been a pleasure working with them and Barb and I miss them since they have left. They work together as a great team (had up to seven there at one point) and seem to enjoy each others company. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Franklin Painting!
Description of Work: Frank's team, led by Andy, painted our entire home's interior (walls and ceilings). Family room, kitchen, living room, dining room, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, screened porch, 2 1/2 care garage, and three halls. In addition they epoxied our garage floor.

Great job. I could not be more pleased with both the quality of their work and the professionalism of the staff. Franklin was easy to deal with from the estimation process where all of our options were clearly explained to us to the actual on site work. Workers were always on time, explained what they were going to do, and were neat in their work. The total clean up was done each day so we never had to deal with clutter. Any concerns were promptly addressed.
Description of Work: They painted the exterior of our large home. This included prep work and two coats of high quality paint on exterior. In addition to trim work including painting deck railings and spindles, sealing brickwork, and cleaning windows.
