Scott was superior in meeting our expectations for our job. He is timely, shares his daily goals, has all of the best materials to perform the job. We hired him several years ago to paint our bedroom. He was great then and continues to hold a very high standard in providing the best skills to perform the job. I would HIGHLY recommend Scott for any job!!

Scott painted the entire first floor of our home which included several very difficult / complex areas to include kitchen cabinets, central / lower staircase, a very complicated dining room ceiling, and living room that with large built-in cabinets. Quality of workmanship was fantastic. Scott was great to work with and we appreciated the open dialogue where he would share his viewpoint and expertise. We "trust" Scott!!! He has consistently demonstrated an ability to exceed our expectations as he has worked in our home over the last six months. I would gladly recommend Scott, and provide referral if asked.

Response from Affordable Artistry Painting & Refinishing Inc
I'm going to let the other 10+ pages, 100+ reviews, winner of Angi's Service Award for every year that I've advertised, and Angi's annual criminal background check speak for themselves. I will however, clarify some of the points made as best I can. It won't be cinematic. This person paid $2k for the work performed. He has $6500 for the cost, but only paid a third. That's normal. This person's living is being out of town half of any given week. No one waited, this just happened to fall on a day when this person is out of town. This person was upset at some minor cosmetic flaws that, after a Rustoleum rep came to the job and saw for himself, was due to a freeze/thaw cycle (this job was in March 2020). He was compensated by Rustoleum. Should be noted that we did not provide the materials, this was a labor only job using materials supplied by the homeowner. This person rejected both mine and the representative's advice on how to proceed and demanded everything start over with the labor provided at no charge; this was our impasse, and was never going to happen. If he had bought the materials from us directly this would have been a whole lot easier for everyone. I am no thief. It's a bad business model and doesn't help in the long run. Again, have passed criminal background checks with Angi's and other paid advertisers, annually. At the end of the day, I haven't had contact with this person since 2020, although he left a work completed date that's 18 months later. He checked every category of services offered to him (of half we don't offer) in order to maximize exposure. He recently threatened to leave bad reviews everywhere because he's upset with some of my pictures used on our new website. So there it is. I wish him the best.

Everything went great! We had Scott out to remove our popcorn ceiling and repaint our living room, hallway and kitchen. Scott was very careful to cover everything and cleaned up nicely afterwards. The final product was fabulous! Scott is a dedicated professional and very meticulous about his work. We have had several gatherings at our home since his work and continue to receive compliments on the work performed by Affordable Artistry. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. Quality work at a reasonable price.

Scott was great. The job turned into a much bigger project than initially anticipated. Scott worked with us, submitting a very detailed analysis of why the scope of work had increased. His prices were very fair and he was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Would definitely hire again.

Overall, everything went very well. As noted in another review, Scott and his team are not rushing through the job just to finish. They take their time and do an excellent job. It might take longer than expected, but the overall result combined with the price is fantastic.

Scott is absolutely fantastic. He is very accessible and showed lot of flexibility. He is very slow and meticulous in his work with an eye for detail. He takes care of the work area and doesn't leave a mess. He is very professional. For example, at first I was not satisfied with the finish on my cabinet doors. So he reworked it to my satisfaction. I had other work going in parallel and Scott was flexible with his dates to accommodate the schedule. He went over and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with the work. The price was not cheap but it is fair, and the quality of work justified the price. I would definitely hire him again

My bathroom looks great! Originally I hired Scott to just paint my bathroom. But after talking with him, I decided to also have him lay new tile and remove and replace my bathroom vanity. Scott is a man of his word and the estimates provided for the work he did never changed, even where he ran in to a few issues. (I have a very old house). He was also diligent in providing receipts for everything not included in his initial estimate. I highly recommend Affordable Artistry and would most definitely hire him again.

Work was never scheduled or completed. We sent a signed contract with deposit and then spoke with the contractor regarding his making a schedule for work to commence. Then we never heard from him again with no response to multiple phone calls, voice mails, emails and communication via Angie's List system. This went on for months before we voided the contract and canceled the deposit check (to his credit the check had never been cashed). Very poor or non-existent communication and customer service!

Got the 16 hour painting deal for 499.00. It was a great deal for us. Scott was pleasant to work with and communicated clearly what could be done in the 16 hour time frame. Scott and Christopher do not paint fast, and I mean that as a compliment, they do the job correctly. I had two different finishes in the dining room and a LOT of trim work to be done. It looks perfect and no mess was left behind. I also had a large living room area with crown molding and doors to be painted, that room also looks spectacular. We are happy with the work that was done, the price was better than fair, it truly was a bargain for us.

It went okay. I didn't have to pay any more. The communication could have been better and the responses could have been faster. It was just basically returning calls and e-mails. They were kind of working with my schedule. They left the area very clean once they were finished. I thought the price was good. They were on time.

Purchased a 16-hour (two painters for a day) deal for $399 on Angie's List. Overall, Scott and his son did a good job on our painting project. However, we did incur a number of change orders whereby the original cost increased from $1400 to $2100. This was in large part due to the bid not including the proper amount of wall prep work (skim coat, sanding, repeat...) during the quote process. Also, the amount of prep and paint product(s) was underestimated. This part of the process could have and should have been handled better. In general, I am still amazed at how little you can get prepped/painted in 16 hours (two painters @ 8 hrs). Despite the increased cost, the prep/painting work itself was performed professionally and to our satisfaction. Just wished we would not have been hit with so many costly surprises.
Description of Work: Prepped/Painted walls & ceilings in our foyer, family room, wet bar, stairwell and upper stair hallway. Also, sanded/painted exterior shutters.

Response from Affordable Artistry Painting & Refinishing Inc
We appreciate this member's review. To clarify what was mentioned, the extra work required us to apply 1 coat of oil primer followed by 2 skim coats of joint compound along with sanding smooth, wrapping up all furniture to protect from dust, and clean-up, to all areas that were involved in the interior estimate. This work was necessary due to the fact that this member had previously stripped the wallpaper and painted directly over the paste residue which resulted in crackling throughout. We regret that this wasn't noticed in our initial visit when the job was being estimated and only noticed upon removal of the window treatments. To be clear, we explained in detail what the problem was and why the extra work needed to be done, along with the extra costs for added materials (oil primer and joint compound), and were authorized to proceed. It was after the job was completely finished that this person refused to pay for the extra work. In order to get closure the cost for the extra labor was cut in half. As for this person's amazement at how little can be done in one day, I can only say that if he had known what it takes to professionally paint he wouldn't have painted over wallpaper paste in the first place.

They did a good job. I think it was a little confusing time wise. They kept putting her off and putting her off. It took several months for them to get back to her. I thought the price was fair.

We appreciate this member's review for his (third party) daughter. To clarify, I think there was some miscommunication between all parties involved. Our contract was with his daughter and as far as I know, all scheduling was approved (after she cancelled on our first project start date and rescheduled weeks later) by both her and Affordable Artistry. While it's not uncommon for families to have a membership to Angie's List in which there is only one name on the account, we believe communication would have been smoother had this project at least have been performed in the same household as the person who paid for the Big Deal. For what it's worth, this member's daughter was great to work with.

We appreciate this member's review. To clarify, this person first called on a Thursday afternoon. Our policy for returning calls is the same or next business day, however we regret that this didn't happen and she was scheduled to be called the following Monday. She did email once and called several times over the weekend when we were closed. By the following Monday morning this review was posted. This essentially amounts to less than 48 business hours between the first call and this review. We're sorry to not have been able to contact this member fast enough.
