JOHN TRIHAS PAINTING INC

After starting on house, I was told that the job would cost me an additional $700 to finish. I was very disappointed that my quote of $1000 was not honored particularly since I had a lower quote that I chose not to use due to my long standing personal and business relationship with John. I had previously paid to have the roof cleaned earlier in the year but was informed that it wasn't needed. Now six months later, it is so dirty that cleaning it would cost $700 more. My mistake was not demanding a written quote and agreeing to pay the extra money particularly when this had happened before to me and to two of the referrals I had given John. I wrote him expressing my disappointment in what happened but got no response. John will do a good job but I suggest that you always get a written and firm written estimate. Otherwise, you might hear after the job has started that and quot;it's a lot of workand quot;........

Moved everything and put back when finished and did an excellent job. Have used John for over 20 years

We hired John Trihas Painting to paint the interior of our home, and pressure wash the exterior. We are completely satisfied with the results. John is a really nice person who has been painting long enough to really know what he's doing. He and his assistant showed up on time each of three mornings that they were working at our home. They moved all the furniture and replaced it all when they were finished. The painting job was meticulous. No paint anywhere it should not be. Carpet totally protected, and nice crisp edges between the different colored trim and walls. He did a great job pressure cleaning our exterior. Roof, walls, and walkway/driveway all look bright and clean. John's price was very reasonable, and considering the quality of his work, even more so! We definitely intend to rehire him when we have the outside of our home painted.

They performed the work they contracted for, completed the job in a timely fashion. We did hire them back at a later date to do a separate job on our porch and pool area, which was completed in a professional and satisfactory manner. Again they came to work each day until the job was finished. John is a skilled professional and I believe he will do a good job for anyone. I don't know if he offers the lowest price of any painter in town, but I think you can be confortable that he will do any job he contracts to do in an efficient and timely manner.

John Trihas Painting seemed very pleasant but it took him a very long time to get back to me for the estimate. He had to come back several times with several people. The process was too drawn out and lengthy. The price was also much higher than any of the other companies I got quotes from.

I used Angie's list to find a painter for my girlfriend after her contractor quoted her what seemed like a very high price for the painting. This is her story... John arrived on time and gave a very competitive price quote for the original scope of work. We did not tell him the first bid, but he came in $800 less. Of course as we visited the home improvement store we got more and more excited about the savings we ended up tacking on repainting of 2 bathrooms and game room with ceiling. John and his partner were on time, professional, neat, quiet and worked quickly. I had unexpected work travel arrangements for the next week that put strain on the schedule. John finished up a job early and started the next afternoon at my house, he even offered to bring in a third painter if needed. Besides the tape and paint smell it seemed like we hardly saw them. They worked around my schedule, the messes, and the kids off for summer. Furniture and basic items in the rooms were moved as needed. John even came on Saturday to make sure the job was finished prior to my travel. John is the third painter I have hired since owning my home. In comparison he did an A+ job. The last 2 painters insisted only one coat was needed and you can tell the difference in the coverage and depth of color with two coats. The only point for improvement that I saw was in the wall preparation. We re-decorated the rooms entirely, meaning the items we removed from the walls were often not going back on the wall. I noticed on the second day that the walls scrapes and holes were not patched. My son attempted to patch the walls, which did not go well, these were promptly painted over, which then required sanding over the paint and repainting. Other rooms still need patch work and touch up paint, which will get done sometime... In hindsight it would have been good to think this through up front and ask if John could cover this in his scope of work. All in all John was great and I would gladly hire him back; good work and a very fair price.

The job went well. It is always a bit disconcerting to have the house in a state of disarray each day but we thought that John was considerate in this regard and made it as easy for us as possible. Overall we agree that we would have John back when next we need the interior of the house painted. I do think it will be some time because we both believe he used quality paint for the complete job. He left a small supply of each of the colors for potential touchup in the future. He left the control numbers, etc. so we could purchase a larger quantity if needed. We do not have any particular issues that we would change the next time we have painting done.

We wanted our home painted before moving in and John came highly recommended from a friend. He gave us an estimate which was the best we'd received and said he could complete the job before we moved in. The initial estimate was $3000 but, we kept adding things such as painting all the base boards and crown molding as well as painting three built-in bookshelves and all closets. They worked all weekend and extra hours in order to get the job done before we moved in. They were all very professional and friendly and very receptive to our additional requests. An excellent job overall. We plan on having John and his crew paint the exterior also. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a high quality job done at a fair price. It's so nice to see someone taking pride in their work.

WORK WAS TERRIFIC.
