Dave Docherty and his son were given a difficult job to repair my cedar wood siding and painting all exterior. They also made some repairs to my leaks in the roof. They did an excellent job with repairs and painting. They are true professionals and were easy to work with. They communicated their execution plans on a daily basis and were very receptive to any comments and suggestions we made. I will highly recommend them. As a matter of fact my next door neighbor saw their work and has already awarded them a job to repair and paint.

Dave & his son Dave did an excellent job painting my shutters. Before the work was done Dave came over to my house a few days before and saw what the job would take and gave me an estimate. Very fair price. On the day of the job they arrived on time, determined the color of the paint, then did the job. No wasted effort. I'm very happy with the result. Would use them again.

Dave and his son were hired to paint trim all around my windows, as well as garage doors and some other touch ups around exterior of my house. I found them to be prompt, meticulous and knowledgeable. There was quite a bit of rust around some windows and they did a great job sanding, priming and painting it. Dave wanted to show me everything he was doing throughout the process to make sure I was pleased. I really appreciated that. I highly recommend him for your painting needs.

David and his son David did an excellent job painting the exterior of my house. I liked the use of spray pump for deep and smooth paint job all around. He was quick, thorough and delivered more than he had promised and his fee was reasonable. I will definitely use him for my next painting project and highly recommend him

It started good but the team disappeared at middle of job. The crew showed up in day 1 with good power wash and worked on trims and then they disappear for a week without any notice and I have called them many times without any response. All the calls went to voice mail. I have no idea whatâ s going on. Still try to find them to finish the work. They cashed the deposit already. I am very frustrated. Hope nothing bad happened.

We've used Dave Docherty Painters multiple times and also referred them to friends and family. They did an amazing exterior paint job on our home. We were so happy with their work and professionalism, that we called them again to paint our interior home. The interior project was done 2 week before Christmas which some people thought we were crazy to have done at that time. However, we had full trust and confidence with Dave and his team. They painted away even with our Christmas decorations up. They worked their magic and we enjoyed newly beautifully painted home for the holidays.

Dave provided excellent service: detailed, prompt, thorough. A quality job, including a bit of painting around garage doors. Dave's son (also David) had a very professional eye for color matching. We will be having Dave Docherty back for a larger painting project. Highly recommend.
