We contacted Murphy - Douglas painting after having an extremely tumultuous experience with a painter we found on Craigslist. I can honestly say that this bad experience led to one of the best outcomes I have ever had with a hired professional. To begin with, of the several quotes we received theirs was not only and quot;Extremely Affordableand quot; there proposal was far more thorough and inclusive of things that none of the other bidders even caught. Their attention to detail and there price made it a solid choice for myself and my wife. To top it off both Tim and David were genuinely good natured and great to be around. Once the work commenced, the difference between their work and the work of the painter I hired prior, was not even slightly comparable. They were not only precise and capable in all of their application, they impressed several of my neighbors with their workmanship. One neighbor actually came to our door and explained how in awe he was after watching them conduct their work for several minutes. It was truly a pleasure having them work at our home; they were fast, efficient and always kept us informed at every stage of the process. In fact, one morning when they were slightly delayed a matter of minutes, they extended us the courtesy of calling and explaining. Throughout the time they spent working on our home they never made and/or left any messes and treated any of my properties as if they were their own. They even cleaned up after the haphazard and half finished myriad of paint flinging accomplished by the walking disaster of a painter we hired, prior to finding these professionals. All in all both myself and my wife were totally pleased with the outcome of the job and would recommend their services to anyone. In fact, we have already requested their services on another upcoming project. Honestly I don't think I will ever look for another painting company as long as these two are in business! They do great credit unto themselves and to anyone who carries themselves and their profession in high regard. If your in the Sarasota area, I would suggest anyone reading this should give these two your business, because honestly, quality and professionalism are getting harder and harder to find. I consider myself a professional as well and work very hard for each dollar I have; It's a good feeling when you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your hard earned money is going to someone who will work just as hard, and takes pride in what they do.
Description of Work: These guys were the saviors of a bad experience with another service provider. They pressure washed, primed and painted, they also replaced rotted wood and caulked every penetration around the entire house. Aside from that they also corrected and redid all areas that were poorly done by another painter who we hired shortly prior to finding Murphy - Douglas.

We used another company for this project.
Description of Work: They have done interior painting in the past and were excellent. We received a competitive price from them on the exterior painting but they could not do the wood repair so we went with a company that included the repair. We are anticipating some interior work in the future and will probably use them.

Description of Work: Murphy-Douglas Painting, Inc was one of five Painting Contractors in the Sarasota area from which I had requested an estimate for exterior house painting based on specifying my requirements for surface preparation and repairs, paint brand and quality to be used, number of coats to be applied. Tim Murphy and Dave Douglas provided a competitive estimate and discussed with me the service they would perform and the time frame for completion of the job. They required partial payment the first day they started the job for purchase of materials (which was reasonable) and final payment after completion of the job. They completed the job on-time and at the specified price. They provided advice and additional service (at no charge) when there was need for additional repairs during preparation and made good recommendations on improvements on my original requirements. The painting job was very good and we are pleased with the results. They were helpful, courteous and professional and I would hire them again for future interior or exterior painting.
