Description of Work: Greg painted our hallways, living/dining room, kitchen and guest bathroom. He was very good to work with and even when his assistant had a family emergency he even worked on a Sunday to complete the project in time which we appreciated. Would definitely recommend him.

Description of Work: Greg Sefner and his team did a very good job painting my entire condo - walls, trim, ceiling, closets - basically all walls were covered! They were very punctual and professional. When I had an issue with the paint cover / paint type in one hallway several weeks after the service was performed, Mr. Sefner came back and re-painted two coats over the whole hallway. It's true what they say - you get what you pay for - he's a little more expensive than some others I got quotes from, but his team does a very good job!

Description of Work: Greg Sefner / Painting Greg recently painted several rooms in my townhome, including a very large stairway - 4 levels, as well as all windows in four rooms. His work is precise. This is the third time I have had Greg do work in my home and I continue to be more than satisfied. Once again, Greg offered suggestions that improved results. When I've asked him to do some small "handyman" work related to the painting project, he has always responded. Greg provides a comprehensive proposal which includes the total amount of the project, you will know exactly the price and the scope of work. I have recommended Greg to friends and have received positive feedback. Eileen

After we'd contracted to replace our wood floors in two rooms and removed all the furniture and pictures, we realized that it would be crazy not to repaint when the rooms were totally empty. However, we had a small window for this and an absolute date. Panicked, we called 3 painters on a Sat. and Greg called back next day. His ratings were raves so we arranged for him to come on Tues. and give us an estimate before the flooring guys showed up. His estimate was reasonable for the amount of work involved (lots of wood trim and doors) and we hired him for the following week. Greg used an assistant one day and did the rest of the work himself. This way he can keep costs down and control quality. My husband supervised and due to some old knot holes that showed through in the wood trim, asked for additional coats of paint on the trim. Later my husband also asked for a 3rd coat of paint in one room because of old issues with the walls. All of these extras not surprisingly added cost and time to the job but Greg was flexible and accommodated everything. He did a beautiful, high-quality job and we are really pleased with how the two rooms looked. He protected the new wood floors beautifully and in the end, for an additional $25, he even helped move some of our more difficult furniture back. My husband really liked working with him and asked for a quote for later in the year to do the rest of our first floor.
Description of Work: Greg Sefner painted two rooms for us after we installed new wood floors. This included painting all walls, cielings, wood trim & doors, and inside closets. The original price was very acceptable but we had him paint extra coats on trim and walls of one room (my husband's a perfectionist) which increased the price. Not Greg's doing -- all ours.

Description of Work: Greg cut out a section of the wall where a pipe burst due to extreme cold a week ago. He confirmed that the area was dry, wrapped the pipe, and re-insulated the area. He replaced the drywall and painted. This was accomplished in two days. The result is fantastic. He is meticulous Greg made two suggestions that improved the results without adding additional cost. He is timely, professional and courteous. He left the area clean and organized. I would definitely use Sefner Painting in the future and have already recommended him to friends and family.

Greg was extremely professional both when he came by to give us an estimate and when he actually came to do the job. We were appreciative that he was able to fit us in his schedule so quickly, we were looking for a company to come in quickly as our due date was quickly approaching. The job took 2 days, originally he thought it would take 1 1/2 days, but the patching took longer, and then the wall boards absorbed more paint than expected. His attention to detail was excellent.
Description of Work: The room was prepped and patched, especially the area under the stairs which had more work than originally expected. He also took down the existing ceiling fan that we hadn't gotten around to yet (we are replacing). Greg painted the ceiling, trim, and walls in the baby's room & closet. The room was cleaned up each day.

I first called Greg in December. I had extensive water damage and my roof needed replacing along with wall and skylight damage. I explained to Greg that I had to have the roof replaced before the painting could be done. Because of the terrible winter that we had, the roof could not be replaced for several months. I contacted Greg and told him that I would notify him when I was ready. The roof was fixed in June, and Greg did the work in July. He was very flexible, and even arranged with other clients to change their work start dates so that he could accommodate my schedule. He came out again to reassess what had to be done and began just when he said he would. He was totally professional, punctual (he came 4 minutes late one day!) and he and his assistant were wonderful to work with. He called me on my cell phone during the course of the work any time he had a question. They cleaned up at the end of each day, and did exactly what Greg said would be done. A couple of weeks after he finished, I decided that I wanted more work done, and he came out and did the work. He also came and painted an outside awning while I was out of town.
Description of Work: Greg Sefner painted about 60% of the interior of my house. He came to give me an estimate, brought color samples, and took photos before painting the house. We discussed the colors and what we thought needed to be done. He used an assistant for part of the job. He added drywall to the new skylights, repaired damaged walls, and painted.

Greg responded very quickly with an estimate. He gave us a very reasonable quote. He was careful with our woodwork, and covered the floor/stairs as he painted. The entire job took about 2 days start to finish. We were very happy with Greg and his work.

The job went excellent. Greg Sefner's quote was very reasonable and fair. It basically took him a day and a half to replace the stairwell ceiling with drywall and paint it. We could not be happier with the way it looked when he was done and it is almost impossible to see that the ceiling was patched and re-painted.
Description of Work: We had a portion of an interior stairway in a condo building torn out so that the stairway could be repaired and we hired Greg Sefner to replace the plaster that was removed with drywall and paint the area.

Great. In and out in the time he estimated, no mess. There was a lot of cutting in that needed to be done around woodwork. Excellent paint job. The rooms looked fabulous. Nice guy. Easy to deal with. Good price. Will hire again. *Highly recommend.

Greg came by for an estimate the very day I called him and started the following day. He did all of the painting quickly and professionally and was very careful with the apartment's woodwork. He took less than a day and a half to get the entire job done (what would have taken the two of us several days). The cost was very reasonable, considering it included the cost of the paint. I would definitely use him again for future projects.
Description of Work: We moved out of a rental apt and had to repaint the LR, DR, entry and a hallway to the original basic apartment white color. We had used some relatively deep colors, which meant that a second coat was going to be required, and all of the doors and baseboards are wood-trimmed, so they needed to be protected during the painting.

The old plaster walls in the apartment were in terrible shape, cracks and holes everywhere. Greg did a meticulous job of repair and preparation for painting. The place looked fabulous when he was done. I think the price was fair for the amount of repair the walls needed. Greg was professional, prompt and courteous.
