Eric prepared a prompt and nicely detailed proposal. The quality of the proposal, the number of good prior reviews, the personal review of what was needed, and the liability and health insurance coverage all contributed to our selecting Fresh Coat. We could not be happier with our choice. The painting staff was attentive to every detail, was extraordinarily conscientious about making it right. We really liked every single one of them a lot. They did extra caulking where it had not been done before. They worked painting the high steep roof with skill. They worked with us on the type of paint to use (in our case a flat exterior paint for a rough siding). Frank the carpenter did a skilled job of repairing wood and re-screening. There were no surprises on the final bill. We are so happy that we chose this company and its "can do" attitude. A very positive experience.
Description of Work: Repainted entire two story home with two coats of paint, changing color significantly. Rescreened porch, and repaired some wood rot where needed.

Fresh Coat Painters was hired by us after having gotten two other estimates. Once we were introduced to Javier and given an estimate, we finally felt "settled" on a decision, as it was apparent that excellent workmanship and customer satisfaction were highly valued. Javier was fair and patient with all our initial questions (although I think I fried his brain cells:) and throughout the process. From start to finish, it was consistently apparent that quality painting and customer service went hand in hand. Every employee/painter that worked on the job had the same attitude and worked from the same ethic, including the extra help that came on the scene. Lee started our project. He was kind, considerate, focused, detail-oriented and asked lots of questions to assure our satisfaction. His good mannered communication went a long way in getting the project off to a great start. He was patient when I wasn't ready with my chosen trim color and was kind to give me me the time I needed. Lee pressure washed above and beyond expectation and this really added to my satisfaction and the overall finished product. The project then got a turbo boost when Aaron came on the job with his energy and experience, again, with attention to detail and customer satisfaction which was very much appreciated. These two men were the leaders on the project. I say both were leaders because they each possessed different character qualities of leadership and were each called upon at different times to be so. Lee was attentive to the day's task and at the same time was 'forward thinking' in order for the project to hum along smoothly. He communicated needs to the owner, to helpers and to me. When I had to leave for the day I felt at ease that all would be well. Aaron, too, was a good leader, in that he worked with great passion and efficiency, communicated logistics and sequencing of steps to his team and was helpful, positive and cheerful, able to take on the project and attend to details alone and with others too. He was the last one on the project and went the extra mile to paint house numbers and assure I was happy with the texture on the front door. He took pride in his workmanship and made sure I was happy with the results. He demonstrated patience with those with less experience, willing to teach technique. Lee also went the extra mile, replacing weather stripping and preparing me for what was to come next to consider our dog. I found the team to be trustworthy, hard working and caring individuals. They have earned a very satisfied customer in me!! I hope to be able to hire them back in the future for interior painting!!! Thank you all so very much!!

The initial painting job was very good, but there were some spots that needed to be fixed. Javier did an excellent job managing the painter he sent to our job. Once the area was fixed, Javier called me to ensure I was happy with the finished product. Very well run company that focuses on customer satisfaction.

A little issue with the startup date due to weather (rainy summer). After that, weather cleared and the project got going. Javier sent a crew of two - I was not in a hurry and would rather have consistent attention than a rush job. The crew, Lee and Tyler, were punctual, friendly, thorough and careful. The finished work looks great - my neighbors noticed and one is now getting a quote for their property.

Great! I had the painter come back a second day. The only problem was that he got frustrated when something broke and was a bit unprofessional. He did apologize later. I would highly recommend them.

The work was completed on time. Everyone with the company that we communicated with was professional and helpful. The painters who were on the job everyday, sometimes without ac inside, were clean, organized, professional, and did great work. The best part was that there were no surprises when the final bill was submitted. Everything was as agreed upon initially. I highly recommend Flashcoat.
Description of Work: We took advantage of the special price offer for the exterior and prepaid for the labor. They pressure washed where needed, carefully covered areas that would not be painted and completed the work in a timely fashion in spite of the rain. When finished, the bill was only for the paint since the labor was the fixed amount of the special offer. At the same time that the exterior was painted, they painted the interior with a variety of colors that included some small accent areas and painted all the trim.

From the beginning Eric was very punctual and professional, he inspected the house and gave me a detailed quote for the job, which included the different stages to be performed, and cost of each one. The start was delayed a couple of days from the original scheduled start date but he kept me informed of it and once they started the finished promptly. I was impressed because our house has a very steep roof pitch and some areas are hard to get to, but the painter pulled it off very effectively. I would definitely recommend them, and would call them again if the need arises. Thank you,

They were very prompt. I work long hours so they arrived after I left and were gone when I got home. It was like the work was being done by invisible people. The process took precisely as long as expected. And the place looks great. They even surprised me by painting and refinishing doors and the floor of the front porch. Javier, the owner, is very nice and easy to talk to. He is very concerned with customer service, so don't be afraid to ask for what you want. I'll definitely call them again for my inside painting. I highly recommend Fresh Coat for any painting you need.

Excellent. There were no hidden costs and no overruns. We had a bid and an estimated one week to complete the project. They completed it in 1 week despite rain delays. Owner Javier birddogged the project and the actual work was done by Mr. Mike. He prepped it in one day (very thorough), pressure washed the home and driveway (no extra charge for the sidewalk and driveway). It was the cleanest we saw it in 15 yrs !.Javier went over the color scheme options and we agreed on a good middle-of-the-road paint that should last for many years. He and I agreed to 2 coats and it looks fantastic. We are planning on additional paining on the interior and some other projects - my wife insists that Javier be called to handle it. We will definitely be doing that in the next month or two. This company has a great work ethic, very open to discussing options and we cannot be more pleased.

Painter for business arrived as scheduled and went too work right away. Painted interior wall (approx. 12' by 20'). He first did "scratching" or light sanding on the color that was already on the wall. Then he started painting with new color, cinnamon cherry. One coat was applied and let it dry then a second coat was applied. Painter was very precise with lines, etc. The accent wall and shadow boxes turned out wonderful! Cleaned up after he was done.

, After the owner checked the house he said he would paint the house on a given date. He never came. This was a big inconvenient because I don't live in the house he was going to paint, so I had to travel and dedicate the day to facilitate anything the painters would need. After I called to the owner of the company he said he will call me back with the date they will execute the order. After a month I called back and the owner said he could not honor the order because he didn't have personal for the work and he would reimburse the money. I would understand unforeseen problems but the company is still publishing the same offer not including the cost of the paint, it doesn't seem to me that his excuse is honest.
Description of Work: They came to my house and agreed to paint the exterior of my house as stipulated on Angie's List offer. Months later they said they didn't have the personal to honor the contract we did, so they will reimbursed the price I paid, which they did.

It went very well. Javier was great! In our initial meetings he made sure that both my husband and I were there. He walked around the outside of our home with us and pointed out areas which needed to have the wood replaced. He had a carpenter that took care of replacing the rotted wood and provided us with a written estimate for this additional work. We discussed what his workers would be doing and what we needed to do to ready the house. Javier was quite personable and very responsive to all of our questions. He explained that his workers would power-wash the house and do all of the prep work (covering windows, taping, filling in any holes), and they even power-washed our front and back patio and our driveway! All of his workers were very nice , punctual and professional. They did two coats of paint on the house. I had the front door painted a different color, and they took off all the hardware to paint it and even installed our new hardware for us. They removed all of the wood debris and carted it off. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Javier showed up as scheduled on a Saturday morning and I showed him the areas I wanted painted and pressure washed. He was very nice, sounded knowledgeable, and said he'd email me the quote by Monday. It's now more than 10 days later and I still haven't gotten a price quote. I even sent a text message to him saying the quote did not show up. Never heard back from him. I'm not going to chase someone down to give them my money. Wasted my time.

First and foremost we will like to thank you for allowing us in to your home in order to provide you with a quote and for taking your time to complete a review for us. As you know we carry liability and workman insurance and only use our employees which we respect and pay them a decent living wages. Sometimes there are instances on when other person or company competing for business does not carry any type of insurance claiming " exception " which often puts the home owner in jeoperdy in case of any accident of damage to their property and unfortunately we can't compete against such business, which is perfectly fine. We do offer special discounts designed exclusively for our Angie's list customers which are listed in our page. At freshcoat we strive to provide our customer with the best painting experience and will thank you again for your time.

The great thing about this company is that they have a very well qualified carpenter that can repair decks, caulking areas, etc. So you do not have to contract that out and then have painters come in. They do it all. The carpenter actually rebuilt my pump house, did a fantastic job. They guarantee their work, about a year later I noticed the paint peeling from the front door, Javier the boss and Mike the painter came out and corrected this in one day. It was a minor mistake, on their part and they fixed it right away. Mike is so good at detail its just unbelievable. They just have a great crew that really works good together.

After calling and meeting with THREE painting companies Javier was the only one to even give me an estimate. Not only was the price very reasonable, he was very friendly and very professional. This is to be expected from the business owner- the real test is when the guys show up to do the labor. I was THRILLED with Lee, our painter for 2 weeks. Lee showed up right on time every single morning, kept me in the loop of his plans, and even took my 2 small children and their schedules into consideration when planning his day. He did not stand outside and smoke cigarettes like other painters have done, he was very quiet (2 napping babies is HUGE), and he was very respectful of our home. I'm not impossible to please, but I am hard to please. I just have high expectations for people who I pay to do work for me. Javier, Lee, and Fresh Coat exceeded every expectation from beginning to end. I recommend them highly and will DEFINITELY use them for any painting in the future.
Description of Work: They painted pretty much the entire interior of our home.
