Everything went well. They are reasonably priced, do excellent work, are punctual, and clean up after themselves every day. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Tom and his crew scraped and sanded the house, did some minor repairs to the woodwork, and then primed and painted it. This included opening all the casement windows, and scraping and painting the edges.

Tom promptly arrived to do an estimate which was quite reasonable. His team showed up with him on time and worked hard throughout the day. They were meticulous in their work, attended to details, no loud music(no music at all), cleaned up after, and were extremely polite. Tom was very flexible and patient when it came to choosing paint colors for the interior and for the garage stain. Overall Tom and his team were a pleasure to work with and I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: Tom and his team completely removed the stain and varnish from the peeling garage doors and re-stained and varnished. They repaired nail pops and painted the ceiling and walls in my kitchen. They also repaired wood work and painted the exterior front entry. Lastly, he fixed some shutters that were warped and refastened them to the brick.

Found Tom on Angie's List and called to schedule an estimate. He was out that same day and had a very reasonable estimate to me only a few hours later. I had a few other estimates scheduled but decided to go with Tom because of the price and his ability to start right away. I figured it would be at least a two-day job, but Tom and his crew knocked it out in about 8 hours. Fantastic job!!! They started around 8am and worked all day. They were very efficient and clean and organized. Every member of the crew knew their job and what to do. For most of the morning they were scraping off all the loose paint and sanding the entire surface. Then they rolled on an oil-based primer then at least two coats of paint. Everything was trimmed in White, base color matched the house color and the doors were a darker accent color. It turned out great. There was one minor miscommunication regarding the 4th side of the garage. As it got later in the day I recognized that one side wasn't painted yet and mentioned it to Tom. When he gave the estimate a few days later I mentioned that that particular side probably didn't need scraping and sanding (because it was a different composite material than the rest of the garage) and Tom must have thought I didn't want it painted. But he verified in the contract that the whole garage should be painted and he was quickly able to re-assign some of his crew to get that side painted - Tom even jumped lent a hand too. At the end of the day the crew did a fantastic job of cleaning up after themselves and getting rid of all garbage. The garage turned out fantastic - looks like a brand new garage!! Tom and his crew were excellent and I would definitely use them again. I even asked Tom to quote me on another potential painting job for later in the year. I would definitely recommend Tom the Painter to anyone!
Description of Work: Scraped, sanded, caulked, primed and painted a detached 2.5 car garage. Also perfectly color matched paint for garage door and side entry door.

Great! Tom and his team laid down tarps to catch the debris from powerwashing the house. It was still a messy process but they did the best they could. It took less than a week to prep and paint everything...I was impressed with how quickly they worked. It's been 6 months since we had the work done and it looks great.
Description of Work: Tom and his crew powerwashed, caulked cracks, repaired stucco, and painted the exterior of our 2-story stucco home. He also painted both entry doors and sanded then stained the front porch.

Everything went smoothly. Tom actually mixed custom color for me because the paint brand he prefers didn't come in exactly the same color. No extra charge. Match was very close. Tom was very respectful, responsive as was his crew. My entire job took only one day. Very fast, clean, high quality work.

Smooth process. Responded promptly and professionally with estimate, discussed the extent of the job, materials and process, scheduled work quickly, came when promised, worked efficiently. Tom took considerable time to mix and test a stain that matched the wood in the rest of the house, and left the formula with us. Very careful and extremely patient.

We will be going with someone else who has a more reasonable estimate. We do not trust this estimate and find it unrealistic.
Description of Work: We called Tom the Painter for an estimate to repaint the entire exterior of our home. He was able to schedule a time very quickly which was nice. He stopped by the house when no one was home but promised to email us the estimate. It took him a little over a week to email it so we had thought he forgot about us, as we weren't able to get in touch with him again after the scheduled estimate date. When the estimate came, he had quoted us $66,000.00. Yes, that's 66 thousand dollars to repaint the outside of a relatively small (1300 square foot) house. The siding is wood and does need to be scraped first, but that estimate is still completely unreasonable. There is one window that needs wood replaced from rotting and that was not even included in the estimate.

I CANNOT PICK UP THE PHONE ALL THE TIME. BECAUSE SOMETIMES I WORK IN BASEMENTS OR IN THE MIDDLE OF TERRIBLY NOISY JOB SITE. SOMETIMES MY PHONE JUST DOESN'T RING. I THINK THE PHONE COMPANY MESSES UP SOMETIME. IF YOU CAN NOT REACH ME BY PHONE, PLEASE SEND ME EMAIL OR LEAVE VOICE MAIL. I ALWAYS CALL BACK THE SAME DAY. I AM SORRY THAT I CONFUSE YOU. IF YOU LOOK AT THE ESTIMATE CAREFULLY, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I EXPLAINED. YOUR HOUSE ESTIMATE WAS $5600 FOR ALL EXTERIOR WORK. THAT INCLUDES SCRAPING, PRIME, THEN 2 COATS OF PAINT. YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO REMOVE ALL PAINT FROM SIDING. I PUT 2 OPTIONAL PRICES FOR YOU ON MY ESTIMATE. 1ST OPTION WAS MACHINE SANDING ENTIRE SIDING, PRIME, THAN PAINT 2 COATS. YOUR HOUSE REALLY NEEDED THIS OPTION TO PROTECT FROM DAMAGE AND TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL. 2ND OPTION WAS TO REMOVE ALL PAINT FROM ALL SIDING. IN ORDER TO REMOVE PAINT FROM 2" OLD SIDING WILL TAKE LONG TIME AND HARD WORK. I GAVE YOU THREE OPTIONS SO YOU CAN DECIDE BETTER. PLEASE DO NOT JUST LOOK AT THE TOTAL, READ DESCRIPTION. I EXPLAIN EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER NOW. SINCERELY, TOM

Tom did a thorough evaluation of the work to be done and provided a very detailed estimate. He was also very responsive and professional in answering some follow-up questions. My impression is that his company does very good quality work and I was a bit disappointed that I did not contract with them. Since the estimate was very competitive, I would recommend that Tom consider offering a small discount in order to attract more business.
Description of Work: I only received an estimate(because price concerns were key to my decision). I went with another reputable contractor that was just a bit less expensive on the estimate, and also offered a 5% discount on top of that.

Tom was very professional & came out the same day I asked for an estimate. He was very thorough & took detailed pictures of the work to be done & asked a lot of very good questions (& answered mine). In the end it came down to money & while Tom was very competitive I got a slightly better bid from another contractor recommended by this site. I'll definitely call Tom again.

Tom is very responsive and drove over quickly for an estimate. He gave several options and recommendations for paint quality, and let me pick which ones I needed. Tom takes pride in doing a good job and checked that we were satisfied with job. He monitored the weather to find a day when everything could be completed in one day, and he and the crew finished just as promised and cleaned up the site after finishing. They did a great job.
Description of Work: Paint exterior trim with high quality paint and some minor wood replacement during the job.
