Universal Professional Coatings Inc

I honestly CANNOT say enough about Universal Professional Coatings. But, I will try and do the company justice. Let me start by saying, my first impression was "this is too good to be true". The first quote we received was from our contractor for an ABSURD amount. After hearing that quote we almost decided to do it ourselves. But, I decided to look around and get a few quotes "just in case". Well, needless to say after 5 quotes we went with UPC. And, after receiving his low quote we decided to add on the master bedroom. So, I told our contractor the quote (which was exactly 4 times less than our contractor's) we received from UPC and he was immediately suspicious. My contractor called me about every other day with a new issue he had with the price. Either the painter wasn't going to do enough coats, he was going to go way over his time estimate, or the painter wasn't going to caulk any spots that needed it, etc. Well, my contractors BIGGEST worry was that UPC was not going to do a sufficient job with the prep work. Well, after about 20+ hours spent on just the prep work, UPC absolutely proved my contractor wrong. Every light was covered, every fan blade was covered, the windows were done professionally, all switch plates were covered, floors were blanketed, our fireplace was meticulously protected, so on and so forth. On the 6th day, which would have placed UPC one day earlier than was estimated, I looked at the walls and decided they needed another coat. News which, I don't care who you are, must have REALLY upset UPC, but it was taken with a grain of salt and the next day MORE paint was bought, the walls were coated again, and the job was done to perfection. I would recommend UPC to ANYONE needing any kind of painting done. I know if I ever need anything else painted I will be giving them a call. I also recommended my contractors use UPC :) I told Brian of UPC that we have no problem having people stop by our place to check out his work. Or, feel free to ask for before and after pictures.

The house was pressure-washed, and carefully prepped, caulked and primed before painting was started. All work was done with careful attention to detail; even the house numbers were removed and freshly painted. This was definitely not a "get the work done quickly" job; it was done with competence and experience, with a view to doing high quality work. The painting was flawless, and needed repairs were done skillfully. We were more than pleased with the promptness, thoroughness, neatness and excellence of the entire process. Our house looks like a new house! We would highly recommend this company. As a side note, there was no loud music, nor a single off-color word; and the painter was unfailingly professional, prompt, friendly and courteous.
