Really great! The job included painting our family room walls, ceiling, crown and all of the trim. This room is adjacent to the kitchen that we remodeled previously. Dale went above and beyond by re-coating the kitchen ceiling, and repairing any imperfections, even though it was outside the scope of the family room. The end result was beautiful - better than I could have done myself. I will definitely hire Dale again.

It did not go. I spoke with Dale the Painter and we both verbally agreed that he would come by either that following Tues or Thursday. I was not strict of either days but I did expect that he would show up. He did call me on that Wednesday night and left me a v/m that he would come by/call me that next day. I scheduled my day so that I would be available but ne never showed up and never called with any follow up.

Dale (and Tony) did a MAGNIFICENT job repairing and painting the damaged drywall in our ceiling. They were punctual, personable and friendly, and they worked as if they were in their own homes. From the excellent plastic sheeting and tarps they put down to cover everything, to the care they took in all aspects of the job itself, we couldn't have been more pleased.

There were many spots around the basement where the drywall needed to be patched, sanded and repaired before they painted and they handled all of them well. I was honestly amazed when I saw the results because I know what the walls looked like before they started.

We have high ceilings and skylights so the painting job is more difficult than a standard room. Dale and his painters were pleasant to work with, on time and really did a great job. It really transformed our rooms. I would easily recommend him and I'm sure we'll be using him again.

We had a friend paint for us. Dale was just a bit high for our moderate income, but I saw the work he did for a friend. He went above and beyond to help her and I was extremely impressed. His work was very good and neat. Our painting turned out fine, but if I hadn't had the offer from a friend who just happens to be good at painting, I would have used Dale without hesitation.
Description of Work: Dale came to our home and gave us an estimate. He was very professional and helpful. We did not use his services, though I would recommend him.

We purchased a "Big Deal" consisting of 2 painters for 8 hours each for 1 day at a cost of $549.00 through Angie's List. Dale The Painter contacted me the next day to set a time to meet to review the job. A couple of days later Dale showed up at the agreed upon time. We went over in detail what was to be painted and what was not to be painted at this time. He was very thorough in asking and verifying the exact perimeters of what was to be done so there were no misunderstandings. He checked his work schedule and gave a rough estimate the work could be done on 3/25, 3/26 or 3/27 and he would give me a call to finalize the actual date as that time frame moved closer. Dale also asked that we remove all the pictures from the walls, tables, rugs and all other items that would be in the work area prior to his arrival. He also asked for us to move any items back in the adjoining areas to make sure that paint did not splatter on them. He also reminded me that it was my responsibility to purchase the paint and that it would require 2 gallons. Dale said that he would arrange for me to get his discount at the local paint store, which saved me a nice chunk of change. About a week later, Dale called to say that he could do the job on 3/26, I told him that it was perfect that we'd be home. Dale and his associate showed up on 3/26 at exactly at 8:30 AM as agreed upon. We went over the perimeters of the job again to make sure that we were still on the same page and there were no changes. Then the 2 of them went to work, the covered everything with tarps and taped off all the woodwork. And wa-la when they were finished, we had a beautiful and bright entryway and stairway. Dale then asked me to go around and check his work to make sure that it was done to my expectations. It was perfect. Dale is a true professional and wants to please his customers by doing a good job.
Description of Work: Dale and associate, painted the ceiling and walls of our entryway and stairway to the second floor with a 24 foot vaulted ceiling 2 coats.

Dale is a great guy and a good painter. In and out quickly and does an awesome job. He can paint, and clean up, in a few hours what would have taken me a full day. All with a reasonable price. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a painter no matter the size of the job.

The painters were prompt, respectful, clean, and diligent in their task. If I had known that they would finish so soon (three men came) versus the two of the deal), I would have had them paint the ceiling in the master bedroom. They finished in approximately 3 hours. I am not sure whether the amount of work done was truly worth the price, as I don't have much experience in house painting. I believe the hours were totaled by how long each man was there versus the job done. If so, they had a full day (3X3). Overall, I would recommend them to others.

The last time our home interior was painted was 1990 something! There was a lot of repair work to be done. Not to mention the 19 ft cathedral ceilings in our living room. Dale was prompt, trustworthy and friendly. He provided excellent quality work; our walls look brand new! We would recommend and/or hire Dale the Painter again.
Description of Work: Dale repaired the peeling tape, popped nails and some corners of walls in our home. Then he primed and painted 2 coats on all main floor walls. He also painted all ceilings and the hallway upstairs.

Dale and his partner painted my two story foyer and hallways. They did an excellent job on ensuring the painting was done correctly as well as ensuring there was no carry over paint on my brand new hard wood floors. I was so impressed with their quality and price, I have recommended them to several colleagues, neighbors and friends.

Dale did a great job on our home. We were overdue for an exterior paint job. Dale was punctual, professional, and provided the service we needed. He listened to our needs and came up with an effective plan to accomplish what we needed done. Fair pricing for the quality of work you get. Very pleased with his work, definitely would use this company again!

I called for a quote because I felt I needed a professional to fix the mess I made when I was trying to "stain" a new fiberglass entry door. Dale showed up and said that although he could easily do the work he thought I could do it myself. He showed me how to remove the stain along the areas that were blotchy so that I could try again. He didn't charge me anything for the sharing of his expertise - but gave me a few business cards to hand out ... which I did ... and now all of you know about him, too!

Dale painted a kitchen for me at a previous address and fixed wall paper. He did a very good job. After moving recently, I needed one room painted immediately, and Dale came through. He dropped everything and came the very next day. He charged $600 for a 12 x 12 room which I knew was very high but it seemed valid because it was such a rush job. We asked him while he was here for a quote on painting the living room and dining room. He seemed very high again, so I called 2 additional painters for quotes. Both additional quotes were half of what Dale had quoted me. That being said, his quality is excellent. He takes his time and gets it right.
Description of Work: Painted one room which is 12' by 12' - 2 coats - only walls, no ceiling or woodwork. Dale provided paint.

Dale and Bill did an excellent job. I work from home and they were very respectful of my "space". I am extremely fussy when it comes to any work I have done. Dale and Bill cleaned up every day before they left and when the job was completed, I was left with little to no additional work. Normally when I have work done in my home, I can't wait for it to be finished and have the workers "move on". Dale and Bill were in my home for five days, and when they left, my dog and I missed them!! I would not hesitate to refer Dale the Painter or hire him in the future.

He was polite and treated my Mom with respect. I gave her Dale's information and she called him the same day. That same day he came to her place and provided her all the information needed for him to do the job. He told her how many gallons of paint would be needed to get the job done. They agreed on a date to paint and he was there on that day and on time. He left Mom's place all neat and tidy with a beautiful new paint job. I'm keeping his card for any future jobs and would recommend him to anyone!
