We had a very good experience with Greg and his team. To start, Greg was very on time throughout the quoting and painting process. He showed up on time to our appointment, and out of four providers quoting the job, he was the only one to provide his estimate when he stated. He was thorough in our estimating meeting; he asked questions to assure we all understood what the work would include. Once we agreed to use his service, Greg and his team were on time each day of the job. They were careful to completely cover and move all furniture and floors. Throughout the 3 day job, Greg had made sure the work was getting done as efficiently as possible, and he was keeping me up to date as needed. They were very respectful of our home and professional in their work. We will definitely use Greg again for our painting needs.
Description of Work: Painted our foyer, living room, stairwell/hallway and master bedroom. This included walls, trim and ceilings plus all the patch work.

Both experiences with Sefner were extremely positive, from the initial quotes (quick, complete and accurate) to the completion of the project and on to subsequent follow-up (e.g., a fast return to repair a door damaged by another workman). Greg and his crew were always on time, friendly but focused on the work, highly skilled, careful and attentive to detail. Timing estimates were on target. No surprises along the way. And the finished product, in each case, was terrific. We've recommended Sefner to others and will use them again, should the need arise.
Description of Work: We've worked with Sefner Painting twice -- first in 2012, when they painted our entire condo, and again this past summer when we redecorated our living room and den. The 2012 job, the first repainting since we moved in in 1995, was a complete one -- ceilings, walls, doors, woodwork, base boards and base heaters. Total of 6 rooms, plus entry and hallway (appx. 1800 square feet). Total cost was $4525. The latest work was more limited, walls and base boards of two rooms plus entry and hallway, but also included some patching and filling. Total cost was $1900.

Description of Work: We used Greg twice — first to paint our kitchen, doors and to caulk and paint baseboards in our condo before we sold it and then in our new house to paint a large family room (including painting over wood paneling), stair risers and some exterior garage painting.

Greg and his team were FANTASTIC. Not only were they extremely professional and talented, but they also worked long days to ensure that the work was done in a timely manner. They also are extremely friendly and easy to work with! Sefner Painting's quote was completely reasonable and fair and Greg spent a long time going over every single question we had to ensure that this process went smoothly. I trust Greg and his team completely and highly highly recommend them to anyone looking for a painter!
Description of Work: We are a condominium complex with three separate entry ways. Greg and his team at Sefner Painting repaired and painted all three tiers' entryways, hallways, and doors. The hallways in particular were in very bad shape from tenants moving in and out.

Greg and his team did a great job. They were professional and skilled and they fixed all sorts of issues on our walls and ceiling that occurred during many home remodeling projects (new lights, new roof, new siding, etc.). I received three bids that were pretty close to each other. Painting has gotten much more expensive since we did it 10 years ago. Due to the cost, I would have been very disappointed if they didn't do a great job. I chose Greg because he owns the business and he works alongside his team. I like that he was there most of the time, provided oversight and coaching to the two guys who worked with him. We are very happy with the results and grateful for their skillful work. We would hire Greg again if we needed painting.
Description of Work: We needed most of the interior of our home painted.

Sefner's price was moderate but the workmanship was superb. Instead of painting over cracks, holes, and drip marks, they meticulously prepared the surface and carefully protected all surfaces that were not to be painted. Greg Sefner and his crew display courtesy, professionalism and integrity. I would hire him again without question.
Description of Work: Greg Sefner did three rooms, a stairway, and hallways of my home.

It was amazing. I have original steel gutters on my 1948 house that cannot be replaced. The previous owners tended to neglect them so they were in dire need. Several painters said, "no, too rusted" or "you'll just have to replace them". Greg said he can do it and he did. He gave me a detailed written quote and made sure I understood all the details. In May he was booked until mid-July but said he had me on the schedule to begin mid-July. July 15 he contacted me with a begin date, that happened to work perfectly for me. He completed the work in one day, did a beautiful job, patched some holes and I could not be happier.
Description of Work: I needed all my gutters scraped and painted.

Greg and his team were exceptional in every way. The work was completed promptly and the professional quality of the preparation and painting exceeded expectations. One wall in particular needed repair and the result shows true competence. All the work shows conscientiousness, pride in their work and real skill to do it right. Greg and his team deserve the high marks they continually receive in reviews. Every member of the team is a pleasure. I highly recommend Greg for your all your painting needs.

Greg and his team are unparalleled! I've had them paint my condo in stages over the last year. First the bathroom and my bedroom. Then the kitchen, hallway, living and dining rooms. They just finished my second bedroom. Now I'm done. They take such care in prepping the space, making minor repairs to drywall and trim to ensure that the finished job is superb. They even offer to move your furniture back into place (I always clear my space for them before they arrive). Dang, and they're fast! So easy to work with, real professionals in every sense of the word.

This was a big job (tons of prep and fixing and crazy ceilings) -- another painter actually looked around and declined on the spot. Greg and his team were amazing. The work is beautiful, and getting the work done was a pleasure. They were just really nice, professional people who took care to do a good job. My office is in our home and I was here the whole time, so this is especially important to me. I would have them back again, except there's nothing left to paint.

From the initial quote to the finished product, Greg and his team were punctual, professional and great to work with. They are extremely detail oriented and did a beautiful job. After dealing with other painters who promise one thing and deliver another, it was refreshing to work with Greg and his crew who not only delivered what we were asking for, but did it in the time frame promised. I highly recommend Sefner Painting.

I got three estimates and felt confident in my choice of Sefner Painting. The owner Greg is a very detail oriented and skilled painter. He is an excellent communicator and kept me informed every step of the way. He educated me about paint choices and explained how he would go about making repairs from the water damage. He sanded the top of two doors which I am now able to close. He sanded and patched rust areas on my front door and side windows - it looks like new. The water stains and cracks were meticulously repaired. My walls and trim were painted beautifully. The floors and furniture were well covered during the process and they left my place very clean. Greg and his team of Dan and Rich take great pride in their work. You will not find more polite, hardworking, professional young men out there. They work well together in peace and harmony. I am so happy with how my place looks now. It was a great experience. .

Greg kept me well informed of the start date based on his finishing another job. Once here, they worked for almost two weeks with minimal disruptions. He was patient with a couple last minute color changes. In the future, I would use colors from BM and not HD as that was part of the color issues.Thanks to Sefner Painting!

The painters showed up when they said that they would, protected the carpet & trim, and cleaned up after they left. The paint job was very good and we were very satisfied. We called them back to do some more work several weeks later. They were very good about communication and being flexible with schedule.
