Exceptional service as always. Servio is an excellent painter, very polite and does a great job on clean up. The owners Mike and Diane were very accommodating with my schedule as I was coordinating a carpet install. Both stopped by to check on progress and end result. Everything looks great. High caliber work! Would highly recommend their painting services.

They were great to work with. I would definitely use them again. They were on time. They did a very good job. They were very careful about covering my lawn furniture because it was windy when they were there.

The estimate was a little too high. It seemed like they knew what they were doing, it was just that the price was a little high.

They were great. It turned out that we had some, and I didn't know this at the time, but I had some family members that had used them in the past so that kind of pushed me in their direction. I felt that they did the job quickly, they did the job accurately. Quite honestly, they were the least expensive of all the crews that had some out. Everybody was very nice and very professional. I would certainly use them again.
Description of Work: I last used Lakewood Painters for some interior painting and high ceiling painting a couple of weeks ago.

Pricing was competitive and work on the first day was outstanding. My wife changed the color of one room after the crew began and they accommodated us without too much resistance.
Description of Work: Lakewood painted the interior of our home. Overall the work was done well and on time. The job included all ceilings, trim and walls in our kitchen, hallways, foyer, living and dining rooms. The first day the supervisor was on site and the crew did an outstanding job. Toward the end if the day Diane said that she was pulling him off our job the next day to work on a bigger job. It was apparent that she was pushing to have our job completed quickly. On the second day the crew's performance changed significantly. Workers were not as professional and the quality of the work deteriorated. The edging was not done as well and I had to make sure that the trim was painted to cover. When I pointed out that the entry door paint was not completely painted the worker told me Diane said one coat on the trim. This is correct but I pointed out that one coat means the surface is still to be covered in paint not missing patches.

I called to get an estimate on caulking and painting the front of my house. I called around Saturday July 13th. I wasn't really expecting a call back because it was a weekend. On Monday the 15th I hadn't received a call back so I called them. I was told they were about to call me, which I did believe them. I was told someone would be out to look at my house Tuesday or Wednesday (July 16 or 17). I gave her my email because she said she would email me the quote. Today is the 27th and I never heard from them. Which in my opinion, they don't want the business.

We contacted three highly rated painting contractors from Angie's List to obtain quotes for the above scope of work at our home. Diane from Lakewood Painters was very responsive and we had an e-mail quote within 24 hours. All quotes were very competitive, we reviewed each contractors ratings on Angie's List and elsewhere and then considered their location as we like to utilize companies within our community. After looking at all of these factors we choose Lakewood Painters and would have zero issue with choosing them again for further projects. When calling to schedule service we were surprised that they could get to our project within two days and from that point everything went quickly. The day after our phone call we had a crew at the house power washing all areas to be painted which went without an issue. The following day the crew arrived at 7:30am and were hard at work within 30 minutes. They all appeared to be professional, which showed in their work, and were found to be very polite. Quality paint + Quality Staff = A+ experience! Thanks to Diane and all those who worked at our home.
Description of Work: Surface preparation, pressure wash areas to be painted.

Lakewood Painters came out and gave us an estimate and after reviewing it, and seeing their pricing, we decided to add another room. We made changing on their contract which they emailed to us and within a week, we set up time for them to start, which just happened to be the day after the "big rain". We thought they might need to reschedule but, they called and after roughly a 2-hour delay, they guys started. Diane drove part of the crew out that day, so we were greatly appreciative that she would try even though most of the roads around us were closed down or packed with traffic. Our job was 2 days and we tried to move out a much as possible to help the guys with just having to move the big stuff. They started upstairs, patched everything and that we a lot since we haven't painted for over 7 years or so. They tarped everything possible and finished the first day around 5 pm...Next day they started at 8 am and were all finished by 2:30 pm. We are so pleased with how the job went. These guys were fantastic, courteous and organized. I cannot say enough good things about this group.
Description of Work: We had Lakewood painters do our living room walls and ceiling, loft walls and vaulted ceiling with 2 skylights, stairway, upstairs hallway and master bedroom walls and ceiling.

I submitted a request online to get a free estimate. I received a call within 20 min. I answered several questions and scheduled an estimate for that Saturday. The person I spoke with on the phone was very informative and polite. That Saturday someone came out and looked around then e-mailed me a quote the next day. The quote was more than reasonable so we eventually called back and set up a time to have the painting done. The painters came in and did the work over 2 days with no issues. The end product looked great.
Description of Work: Painted the wall for a family room, kitchen, dining room/living room, 2 hallways (1 with stairs) and the ceiling for all rooms.

The painters arrived on time at 8:00am. They moved and covered all the furniture and put drop cloths down. I had a lot that needed to be painted and I couldn't believe that the two of them finished in just two days. There were a lot of cracks and nail holes in the walls. They did such a good job repairing them that I can't even tell where they were. They are very professional and did an excellent job painting the house. I would definitely recommend them.

Painters were very professional and courteous. Graciously worked around a home delivery and a few service visits for other improvement projects. Quality is exceptional. Added one room to work effort on last day and were very agreeable to add to job. Owner, Mike stopped by daily and met with me at conclusion of work to ensure my satisfaction. I have had work performed in the past and always a top notch job.

don't know... never showed!
Description of Work: He was prompt on coming out and giving us a quote because we needed the job done quickly. I saw him pencil us in but then he never showed up! I saw him write down my email and phone number to give me a written quote but he never emailed or called. I even called to see what was going on (which I shouldn't of had to do) and my phone call was never returned. I keep hearing about people needing work and there not being enough jobs, but yet every time we try to find someone to work on our house, they never follow up or do the work?! I don't get it.

I do bid on over 1200 homes a year and I do bid on 99% of them. I never sent a quote, took any colors, no deposit, or any signed proposal. I never had a call from her my cell number is on the card I hand out.. All the awards I received have been from the same men that have work for this company for the last 10 years they all have families and children to put thur school. Most of our work is from Angies list so to post a review like this is outrages. It might take month to repair damage to our reputaion and put many people out of work just before Chrismas. I guess some people do not really care about how their coments affect others. maybe the head line of Don't know...never showed...should have been never gave a quote or sheduled the work.

Mike came out at our agreed upon time to survey the site and emailed me a quote the next day. His quote included labor and Shermin Williams paint. I hadn't originally asked for the laundry room to be painted but notified Mike via email and he gave me the additional quote the day they came to do the other work. Mike and his crew arrived on time, they were very courteous and professional, laid down tarps and plastic to cover our furniture and vaccumed the carpet afterwards. They were here from 8-5:30. They had to return a few days later to apply more compound on the tape and then repaint that little section. Again, they retarped and covered my furniture with plastic and were in and out in a few hours at no additional cost. I liked that they were insured and bonded and did good quality work at a reasonable price. I would definitely use them again w/o hesitation and have added them to my Angie's List Favorites for the future!

We used four different colors of paint. We used an interior decorator, Kris Henderson (773-339-8880) referred by Lakewood Painters. She is outstanding. She based the four paint colors on our wall paintings and the color of our furniture. The walls and ceilings received two coats of paint. Also, they repaired drywall from nails from wall paintings and window treatment from twelve windows. It took four days working from 9:30am to 6:00pm the first day and 7:30am to 6:30pm the last three days. There were no spills and messes. I let them use my attached garage as their setup area which is where they ate lunch and took breaks waiting for the paint to dry for the 2nd coats. They used some device to speed the paint drying. They moved all furniture to the center of the room and covered them when painting each room. They then returned furniture to its original position. I centered the furniture in the living room and family room to save them the time, so they could immediately start painting on arrival the last two days. I took a week vacation so I could be onsite for the painting. My house looks awesome. It looks more expensive after the paint job. I have already recommended Lakewood Painters to two people after I told them the cost. They could not believe it. Antonio and crew are the best and very courteuous. I would ask them to do some minor things. The. response was always, " no problem". The front office was great. The estimate given after touring the housewas the actual price plus and adjustment because I later asked for a something that required additional labor time. The final cost was reasonable. The Lakewood Painters is the painter for me.
Description of Work: A crew of three painted the entire interior of the house which includes 4 bedrooms, kitchen, family room, living room, four bedroom closets, three linen closets, and kitchen pantry (2038 sq. ft.). They also performed exterior painting: the trim around the garage door, the front porch support post, and two circular motifs mounted over the garage and on the second story.

Professional, punctual, high quality workmanship.
Description of Work: Lakewood painted a large bedroom, kitchen, living room, and office (including ceilings in all rooms), plus some touch up work. They did an excellent job, and were very careful to cover surrounding areas and left the work area very clean. The two men who painted the rooms were extremely polite, punctual and friendly. I would highly recommend Lakewood Painters - top quality work! Will definitely use them for future projects.

We could not be there because we live 2 hours away. Lakewood did a really nice job for the most part. When the work was completed I expected someone to call to let us know, but no one did. I called Diane on Saturday and told her we loved the job and could she stop by for the final payment. We waited until 4 p.m. but she did not show up. I tried to call her but she didn't reply to my call. Also, while waiting for her that day we did notice some issues that we would have liked to address. My husband said he could fix the trouble spots quickly. By Tuesday no one had returned my call so I finally decided to call and let them know that the check was in the mail since no one showed up to pick it up. Diane said that she had several places to be on Saturday and knew she was forgetting something but could not remember what. I did not mention the issues because my husband had already fixed the problems but I would have liked the opportunity to show someone from Lakewood the spots missed in the powder room and all the paint splattered around the kitchen, bathrooms and the fine spray of paint on the wood work in the stairwell.

Lakewood Painters did an excellent job in painting the cedar siding of our house. First they powerwashed to remove any dirt before they scrapped, chalked and painted the siding with two coats of solid stain. Lakewood Painters offered great products and had competitive pricing. Mike went out of this way to make sure all our concerns were addressed. He responds to your emails quickly.The painter covered the areas he was painting with tarps and did a great exterior paint job. I would recommend Lakewood Painters to my friends and family.

I have to say the quote process was a little confusing and I called Mike back to go over the quote again slowly, and that worked well. I choose colors and the crew was extremely polite and professional. The job is as perfect as it can get! All I had to do was get the area prepped and they were absolutely efficient. I am very pleased with the results! I will definitely use again! My quote included paint.

They were exceptionally fast in quoting the job! And that was just what I was looking for! These days most contractors take weeks sometimes more than a month to quote a job and get back to you with numbers. Michael came out right away, gave us a verbal quote and sent over a written quote within 24 hours! Weather held up the actual painting however I'm happy that it was done before winter came!
