For the amount of work they did, we consider it reasonable but it was a lot of money. They did a good job. You get what you pay for. They are on the high side a little bit but they do a good job. They clean up very well and for me that was important. When they start and finish the job I don’t have to follow them around and clean up after them. They were here when they said they would be.
Description of Work: We ended up using Jalapeno, which is a painting company. We have used them a year ago. They did an interior painting on our house.

We were extremely happy with the quality of the work performed. We received a very detailed estimate that clearly described the work that was to be performed, so there were no surprises. The crew communicated the plan from start to finish at the beginning, then reviewed that with us each day to set clear expectations of what was going to happen. The preparation work at the beginning was very important to a smooth and successful job - do not skip this step! They were very proactive to ask questions where they felt the original plan needed to be changed (e.g. two coats of paint instead of one) and to show us where we needed the extra work. We made two changes to the original work order, and they were handled professionally and without any pressure from the crew. They took great care in making sure that we had a chance to inspect the work while they were present, and to ensure that we had an opportunity to point out any mistakes or touch-ups that were needed (not that there were many!) The quality of the finishing and paintwork was exemplary. The crew (led by Jose) was very careful to treat our house with care and respect, making sure that all items (furniture, carpet and floors) were covered and protected during the job. They were on-time when arriving at our house in the morning and completed their work on-schedule each day. At the end of the job, Bruce (co-owner of the company) stopped by to check in with us and make sure that we were happy with the services provided. We have no hesitation in using Jalapeno Paint Werx for our next project in our house.
Description of Work: We needed interior painting on doors, windows, wainscoting, trim (baseboards and molding), walls and ceilings for our Dining Room, Living Room (2 story), Foyer (2 story), two closets, staircase, stair landing and upper hallway. We did color on the walls, white for the ceiling, and white for the doors / windows / trim and wainscoting. The job was completed in five-and-a-half days, and included one day for surface preparation (nail holes, nail pops, dents, caulking, etc.).

Response from Jalapeno Paint Werx
Hi (deleted member name)- I am truly sorry that we dropped the ball. We normally respond to requests and perform the estimate within a day or so...apparently, we blew it on our end. As you can see from the number of great reports we have on Angie's List, we take what we do seriously and unfortunately we messed up the communication on our end. I sincerely apologize for inconveniencing you and your family. Sincerely, Tom Reber

Overall, the project was very much a success.
Description of Work: We had a small project renovating a basement room that required professional painting. The job expanded to also address some discoloration we had in the ceiling in the family room and study. Bruce worked with us. They were punctual, under budget, neat, very professional and did a great job. We will use this firm again for similar job and do not hesitate to recommend their services. Great job!

Loved, loved, loved that they offered someone to help you with choosing paint colors. Don't hesitate to utilize Heather, the consultant, as she is amazing. She listens to what you like and your what you would like your space to look and feel like. They do a good job of keeping you up-to-date on the process, the start date, problems (i.e. we had wall-paper from h***) and any other issues. My job ran longer as I added trim and baseboards to the scope of work. From appointment for the estimate to the final payment this company did a good job with communication. It was more money than I wanted to spend, but well worth it. I didn't notice until a couple of weeks after the job was completed that there was paint on door jams in different places (dark locations) but there were not very many of those places, but I would suggest really looking in those darker places when your painting work is complete. We will be having them paint the exterior this spring.
Description of Work: We had our entire interior painted - almost 2,400 square feet of space, ceilings, walls, closets, etc. We had newly installed baseboards painted and some chair rails and crown molding. We had wall paper removed and some chair rails removed.

They were very customer focused and really listened to what we were looking for. They peroformed research on the best product for the job. The team lead worked very hard and was always on time. They cleaned up everyday after they finished. My concerns are that they are very expensive and we encountered numerous product and application issues. We had some misunderstandings but they were always responsive.

Everything was excellent. Whereas other paint companies said it would take 10 days, Jalapeno did it in 7 1/2. The crews were very professional, timely, and skilled. They were very helpful ahead of time helping us select color and paint quality choices, and with follow-up afterward to make sure we were still completely satisfied. If we had any questions about how any work was done they went over it again to make sure we were 100% satisfied. Jose, the crew chief was great to work with, and Brendan, Tom, Martin, and any others (sorry if I forgot any names) all worked hard and were skilled. All in all, we highly recommend Jalapeno for their painting quality, going the extra mile to make sure we were 100% happy, and for being very professional and courteous to work with, and we would definitely use them again. Thanks, Jalapeno!
Description of Work: Interior painting of two story residential home with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a 16' cathedral ceiling in the living room and a 12' cathedral ceiling in the master bedroom. Included all baseboards, interior doors (multiple coats), and upgrade quality paint (Benjamin Moore Aura) on some walls and around two recessed windows. All non-Aura paint was Benjamin Moore ultra.

Everyone from Jalapeno Paint Werx was very professional. Bruce Watson, one of the owners, came out to give me a quote, and I was impressed with his promptness and professionalism. Jalapeno didn't give us the cheapest quote, but they were the ones I had the best feeling about, which turned out to be 100% justified. We had three painters working in our house, and they all arrived on time and were friendly, efficient, and hard-working. I only saw them take one short lunch break on each of the two days they were working in my home. They left my house cleaner at the end of the job than it was at the beginning. Bruce came by on day two of the job to check how things were going and inspect the work. We haven't found any flaws with the patching or painting, and we like the colors. I would use Jalapeno Paint Werx again and recommend them wholeheartedly.
Description of Work: Jalapeno Paint Werx painted my kitchen-dining-living room (one space), two hallways and two bedrooms, including a vaulted ceiling in the living room and 9-foot ceilings in the rest of the house. They also removed a wallpaper border in the kitchen before painting. Included in the price was a one-hour consultation with their color consultant, Heather, who helped my husband and I agree on pleasing colors. (Our walls had all been white for 12 years.)

Very professional 3 guys 9 hours of work.....the best! Had two other bids from angies listed painters. They werent the cheapest or the most expesive.

The crew leader arrived a few days ahead and reviewed the job with us. All materials were ordered correctly. The crew arrived punctually each morning and left at approximately the same time each day. They were polite and knowledgeable. When we realized, after the first coat, that one of the colors was too dark, they recommended a self priming paint for the lighter shade. It worked great. They finished when the estimator said they would and the quality would meet perfectionists standards.
Description of Work: Jalapeno Paint Werx removed wallpaper from 5 rooms and painted seven. The estimator was one of the owners. He was very professional and offered advice regarding paint types. One of the rooms had cathedral ceilings.

We asked Jalapeno Paint Werx to give us an estimate for painting our foyer. Bruce came out and spent quite some time with me going over our options, and was professional and friendly. The quote he gave us matched that of one other company, but Jalapeno Paint Werx carries both liability and workmen's comp insurance, and the other company didn't have workmen's comp coverage. Since our foyer is two stories high, we felt that it was important for the company we chose to have both types of coverage. A third estimate that we got was over twice as much as Jalapeno's. After we received the estimate, I let Bruce know that we would need to meet the crew leader who would be in charge of the job (as we've had several bad experiences in the past). Bruce readily agreed to do that, and I received a call the following day from Nathan, the crew leader, to arrange a time to come over. Nathan was experienced and knowledgeable, and explained in detail how the job would be done. We arranged for Jalapeno to do the job, and I signed the estimate. A few days before they did the job, we decided to use an eggshell finish rather than the Ultra Low Sheen finish that we originally agreed upon. Bruce quickly revised our original agreement and estimate. I wasn't home when the job was done, but I believe it was completed by Nathan and one other painter within a few hours. They protected our chandelier with a plastic cover, didn't splatter paint on other surfaces, and completely cleaned up the foyer area when the job was done. I came home to find a beautifully painted foyer. We were especially impressed with how accommodating Jalapeno Paint Werx was with regard to the special requests that we made. We will definitely use their services again.
Description of Work: Our two-story foyer and the walls surrounding the landing were sanded down, spackled, primed, and given two coats of paint.

Someone came and looked at the paint and gave me an estimate. There were 2 painters. They had the head guy come and look at what they had to do before they showed up; I thought that was nice. I had one another estimate but I changed some of the stuff that I wanted done so I would say they are not cheap. Their price is whatever the going rate is these days.

Response from Jalapeno Paint Werx
We're sorry to see that the customer gave us a low grade. She called on 7/16 requesting an estimate 'tomorrow.' Unfortunately, our estimating calendar fills up many days in advance and we were not able to meet 'tomorrow,' although we offered other options for this week. She then chose to not continue with scheduling with us. We wish this customer good luck on her exterior project!

We desperately need interior painting that was not in the budget, as well as prep and painting for outdoor balcony wrought iron railings. They had to reschedule the appointment, which actually worked out better for us. Because of drywall damage from over-zealous wallpaper removal, David came out a second time so his drywall guy could take a look and advise how to best prep for a good finish. He also did extra research on products for the outdoor railings. In between their visits and the time he emailed the quote, he kept in touch with me to let me know that this was why the quote was taking a bit longer. Their price was quite reasonable for the work we need done. Because we have to submit quotes to the Board for approval, I don't know for sure if we will use them, but it looks good. If it's a go, I will submit a report once the work is done.
Description of Work: We are in a small condo building and need interior painting in all common areas of two floors, as well as prep and painting for outdoor balcony wrought iron railings. We have to get at least 3 competitive bids for any job that is not an emergency.

I challenge you to find a better painting company. In fact, I might go so far as to say I challenge you to find a better contractor. Everything about what they do is professional. They have dedicated staff for project management, estimates, and painting. There are not many full service crews like this out there. Jalapeno is the best.

I have not had the pleasure of working with a more professional, kind, and upbeat company before. Every person I interacted with, no matter now small nor significant the interaction, was an absolute pleasure to work with. The initial pre-work was completed in a timely manner and the email reminders of appointments was a small, pleasant bonus. In my case, my timetable was a seemingly constant shift from week to week, based on work of my contractors (mostly flooring company). Bruce and his team at Jalapeno never once made me feel sheepish (although I did on my own!) or bad; they simply worked with me to update the timing and helped me feel better about the services to come.Nate and his crew did an absolutely wonderful job on all interior surfaces of my home. There was a lot of work to do and it was done on time, in a remarkably clean manner, with great customer relations, especially because I was out of town on business during the approximate 4 days it took to complete. I cannot recommend Jalapeno highly enough and subscribers should know they are absolutely worth every penny.

I contacted someone I saw painting in my neighborhood initially and got a quote and they even came and powerwashed the house. They then never showed up for the start of the job and the phone number I had was disconnected so I assume they went out of business so I contacted Angie's List for additional quotes. By coincidence, Jalapeno was painting another house down the street and I had selected them and 3 others to get quotes. One said my house was too far from their region which was disappointing since it did not say that in their listing. One didn't get back to me until a weeks later since they were on vacation at the time. 2 came to give me quotes. The first one asked who else was quoting and possibly because of that, never bothered to even send me a quote. Jalapeno's quote was within $100 of my first quote so I felt confident it was a fair price. I was changing the color of the house so it required two quotes of paint so keep that in mind when comparing prices. The estimator was on time, called to tell me he was on his way, gave me the quote when he said he would, and explained the process in detail. The crew always called when they were coming or if they had to cancel for rain,etc... I can't say how important communication is to me and they nailed that part of the job. So many people and companies don't have the common decency to keep you in the loop on things. The estimator and foreman asked all the right questions and the owner even checked on the job one day to make sure things were going well. The quality of the work is excellent. Everything I wanted done the way I wanted it done was completed and the house looks great. I would highly recommend Jalapeno to anyone looking to have their house painted or stained.
Description of Work: Stained and painted house. The house is a cedar sided house on 3 sides with brick front and cedar around the windows. Attached garage, remaining wood windows and front door was painted.

We received several quotes for this job. Jalepeno was very professional and adjusted their quote to reflect the brand of paint we wished to use. Even though we did not have the siding painted at this time, they power washed the whole house. They also eliminated several wasp hotels during the power washing process. The paint crew made sure to caulk cracks or gaps. Even though we only requested 1 coat, they applied 2 coats in a few areas that showed a lot of wear. The crew was very friendly and did an excellent good of communicating their progress. Overall a very good experience
