Couldn't be happier. The house had several areas that requires extensive drywall repairs, wallpaper that had been partially remove, and the home had not been painted in over 20 years. We obtained several quotes from providers in the area before making our decision. Their quality of workmanship, attention to detail and complete professionalism makes it easy to HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ryan and his team. The transformation was amazing and the house looks beautiful!!

Ryan and his crew did a terrific job. It was hard to get it scheduled initially, because the crews were busy trying to get outdoor jobs done, but I wasn't in a hurry. They always responded to my calls quickly in the meantime and were quick to provide a quote. I wasn't happy initially with some patching in one area of the ceiling, and Ryan explain that the compound had contracted as it dried. It was re-patched, and I'm very happy with the results. Ryan called after the job was done to make sure I was satisfied. They were neat, clean and professional, and I would definitely hire them again.

Bob was prompt from quotation to execution of the scope of work. Great quality of work and would not accept payment until we were 100% satisfied. I highly recommend Swanson Painting for any painting or staining work in your home!

Description of Work: They came and gave me an estimate to paint two rooms and a hallway. I did not know what to expect on price but wow! I figured maybe $1000.00 not $3200.00 One room was fairly large about 30'x12' or so. I just wanted the walls and ceiling painted. I also wanted my kitchen painted but not much work there he quoted about $500.00 for that. I also wanted my entrance and two interior doors painted in all with the two rooms. I found someone else who was much more reasonable and good, a personal friend from my cousin. The man who came to my house from Swanson was professional and gave me a written estimate. Too expensive for me.

Response from SWANSON AND STRELCHECK PAINTING
Dear Mr. [removed member name] , Thank you for you for the opportunity to meet with you and to prepare a painting quotation for the interior painting of your home. I am sorry we were not able to do business at this time. I appreciate your interest in our services. Bob Swanson

Bob came out and did the estimate and convinced my wife that the Moss Green I wanted was the color that would look the best for redoing an old deck. The deck is 22 years old and had some dark spots that he was not sure would come out when done, but after the cleaning that John did and the staining that his other crew did, the deck looked great, like new. Done as promised, and all cleaned up afterward, we are very happy.
Description of Work: Power washed and stained deck.

It was done very well. It was excellent service. They did a very good job. They were right on time. They cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. They did everything that I asked them to do. I was very happy with their work. Their price was very competitive and not out of line. For what they did, I wasn't disappointed at all for the cost. I had couple of things done by him on 2 separate occasions. He came and followed up. He had quite a bit of work to do.
Description of Work: I used Swanson Painting for painting the whole garage. They also did some work inside the house; they painted the laundry room. I have a 3 car garage and they did that. They did the stairway into the house, the door and the exit doors.

It went excellent. I am very pleased. They are easy to work with. They came back to put up the shutters. They were really nice. I would definitely use them again. They even took the boxes the shutters came in so I didn't have to clog up my trash. They were easy to communicate with. They are very honest.
Description of Work: They painted my widow sills, porch, side door and front door. They also installed shutters.

I called Swanson Painting because they have been in the area for a long time and they have a very good reputation. The job went very well. The entire job took only two days. There was one two-man crew for the interior work and another two-man crew for the exterior. They showed up first thing each morning and went about their business. The interior painters moved whatever furniture needed to be moved, and they worked around us without really disturbing us. There were some minor items that I did not think to specifically discuss when I contracted for the work (painting a small side-hall off the foyer and the interior of a small closet, performing some additional minor drywall patching) that they happily did at no extra charge. They even gave me some tips when I asked them how they do various tasks. The exterior painters gave special attention to a couple of spots that I requested. We wanted to change the color of our front door to match the storm door, and they did a very good job of matching the paint.
Description of Work: Interior Painting - They re-patched some poor drywall taping that I had done and repainted (same color as existing) our two-story family room and two-story foyer. Exterior Painting - They repainted (same color as existing) all exterior trim - soffit, fascia, vertical trim, door trim, and front door (front door color was changed)

It was perfect. They did a real nice job. They did not get any paint on my brickwork and they were really professional.
Description of Work: The painted the whole exterior of my house. My house is 7600 sq ft. They pressure washed all of the soffits and everything that needed painted. They did do the interior painting of the home prior to me owning this home so it was ironic that I called them.

Bob Swanson is the owner and it was a pleasant experience dealing with him and his crew. He worked his schedule around our schedule. They were in and out in 3 days just as he said. After the work was done and paid for, my wife and I noticed some areas in the family room where light dents and dings were not filled in before painting. I mentioned this to Bob Swanson in a phone call and he sent one of his men out 2 days later to take care of this issue. What a great job. Thanks Bob.
Description of Work: Swanson painters painted our living room, dining room, hallway, office, family room, kitchen and eating area.
