Carl Henkelman at Phoenix was great. We were really uncertain about what color we wanted, but he was very patient with us and provided great advice. The end result was terrific -- exactly what we wanted. His crew was expert, and really nice to work with. No complaints at all. He was also quite responsive over email.

I can't imagine a project done to completion more smoothly. Carl's painters worked diligently.
Description of Work: Child's bedroom interior re-painting. Two-tone paint job done with our paint brand and color choices. Rush job. Carl was able to finish our project over the weekend so that our daughter could adjust to her new bedroom ASAP (and make way for her little baby brother, who was born 2 weeks later).

We love working with Carl and his team! They are talented, thorough, professional, and friendly. Their work is meticulous. They do a great job removing all furniture and objects before work on a room, including removing books from bookshelves, keeping them in order. They replace everything exactly where it was once they are finished. They arrive promptly each day and at the end of the day they leave clear paths to what you need, so you can keep using your home while they are working on it. Best of all was working with Carl on colors. He is a true artist. Our entire condo was painted linen white, so we had no experience with colors and were even a bit hesitant about them. Carl worked with us, spending many extra hours looking at colors, putting up multiple wall samples, and in two cases re-doing a room when the color didn’t turn out as we expected. We learned about how colors look different in changing light and how views from one room into another can be really pleasing. We ended up with colors that perfectly suit our style and we are still enjoying our beautiful rooms every day.
Description of Work: We hired Phoenix to decorate our large vintage condo in three phases from fall 2012 to spring 2016. Work included extensive repair and plastering of walls, sanding and smoothing of all trim and windows, paint color choices for all of the rooms, and finishing of wood built-ins. Phase 1 included the rooms that needed the most work: the kitchen, main hallway, front foyer, sunroom, and 2 bathrooms. Phase 2 was three of the four bedrooms, the dining room, and the back porch deck. Phase 3 was the master bedroom and bath. We look forward to a final phase, the living room, in the near future.

When they took apart a light fixture in my hall, to paint behind it and they put it back, they didn't properly put it back and one of them broke. I had to replace two light fixtures. He was very nice about it he said he would do the electrical work, but he couldn't do the electrical work. So, he split the cost of the electrician with me, however he didn't offer to pay for the light fixture that broke. They messed up my light fixture which cost me an extra $250 for two new light fixtures and another $45 for an electrician. So, that did not make me totally happy.
Description of Work: They painted the outside of my sliding door. They painted some inside walls.

They are on time, they are meticulous and they are there when we need it.

Carl Henkelman, the owner, is thorough and complete in his estimates - so one has an an accurate idea of total cost at the outset. He is meticulous in accounting for any additions or deletions from it, and he uses top quality materials. His crew are considerate and clean workers. He stands behind his work 100% and will always address any issues that arise with his work.
Description of Work: We have worked with Phoenix on several painting projects since 2009 to maintain our historic frame two-flat inside and out. We have gone back to them again and again because of their skill, integrity and professionalism.

Everything he's done has been letter perfect. His crew is a pleasure to work with-- on time, always helpful with small things around the house. Whenever there's an emergency-- ceiling leak, storm damage-- we call Carl first for his advice and help. Everyone with an old house like ours needs a Carl.

In addition, he has over the last 15 years found us roofers, carpenters, fence installation and repair, plumbers, etc. Not only that, he has made sure that their work is done right, and as promised.

It took the professionals of Phoenix Painting and Decorating much longer to remove the old finish on the deck than they had estimated. They worked on it non stop for more than a week until they got it exactly the way they wanted and it's superb. What a dedication and a sense of professional pride.
Description of Work: Phoenix Painting and Decorating did all the painting in our house over the course of the last 25 years. This year they redid our deck and it's beautiful!! It looks better than it did even when it was brand new six years ago. I love coming back to a house that is clean and orderly even when work is being done. Couldn't trust anyone else as much.

Their work is always excellent. The crew is very professional and take great care and pride in what they do. In each instance, repairs were made and painting was done so that everything blended in perfectly. I can't imagine the work being done any better than Phoenix and I give them my highest recommendation
Description of Work: We have used Phoenix Painting and Design four times over the past decade and I highly recommend them. Projects included painting all of our newly installed crown molding, repainted a ceiling that had some smoke damage, replacing dry wall and repainted a section of our living room which had some water damage prior to our association completing tuck point and roof work and repairing a long crack in our kitchen and repainting.
