Workers were professional and cleaned area well. However west side is peeling probably from sun hitting steel siding. The latex based paint it clinging well to the house but it was the same paint sprayed on stucco finished foundation . This should have been masonry paint not latex. Result is after three years stucco is cracking because it could not "breath" as masonry. Many homes have different painting surfaces and while it may be the same color also requires a different kind of paint. Does anyone know quality stucco company? Lesson learned!
Description of Work: Prepped and painted two story house with steel siding.

The cut hedges, broke front trees down, and replaced them with some trees that didn’t last. They were awful. They painted the house pink and not the clay color that matched the bricks. He didn’t have the names on the paint cans so I couldn’t tell if he was using the paint that I asked for. When I told him the colors didn’t match he became very accusatory.

We have never worked for this person before. She is confused as to who she hired.

They did an excellent job! My friend, the homeowner's son, did all the prep work beforehand, so Peterson's came in to paint the house and trim. The color looks fantastic and they paid great attention to details! The painters arrived when they said they would and completed the job within 3 days. We'd recommend this company to others!

Our experience was a very positive one. Chris Peterson spent time with us to brief us on the work plan and answered all our questions ahead of time. The project was on time, as scheduled, and on budget. Very professional staff at every stage of the game.

We were experincing a great deal of flaking on our stucco from a previous paint job. They chose a rubberized paint for the stucco to prevent the flaking that had occurred with the previous paint job. They helped us choose colors, offered references and sites that we could drive to, where we could see the colors on a painted home. They did all scraping, fixed our door sill, took off old weatherstripping, filled holes and trim, and in general did excellent prep work. The painting was done promptly (after the rain stopped) and the painters kept the job site very clean. We plan to use them for extensive interior painting this winter.
Description of Work: The crew painted all the trim and the upper story stucco of our very high 2-story home.
