Spectrum Residential Contracting

I can not speak more highly of Spectrum Paining, Andy Wagoner or his team. I was introduced to Spectrum when I was re-doing my kitchen, I was re-facing my cabinets and my contractor suggested I look at "spraying" my cabinet doors vs. the basic painting. SPectrum created a demo door that showed the difference between the two types and they were right - the spraying was much better/more professional look and thus, Andy and his team went to work. They were maticulous in the job and when the doors were finished and hung, I couldnt have been happier. I also have to say that they were the cleanest crew I have ever worked with. Every day I could come home and have to look around to see if they had been there. They cleaned up so well and left all of their materials in the corner of the garage. I kept telling them they didnt need to but that is just how they are. Once I was finished with the kitchen I realized the adoining family room needed updated and called Andy back. I had an idea of what I wanted but he suggested he bring his color consultant to help and that was the best idea.Together we came up with the vision I wanted. Andy was also able to point out other areas that I might think about at the same time - not to add on the a bill....but to get the polished updated look I wanted. We took down a ledge along the top of the room, added crown molding the the bookcase, etc. They also saw where a big picture I had would look better in a different fram - something I would have never thought about but made a HUGE difference in the room. He really sees a vision for what a room can become and offers ides/suggestions for the client to think about. I then used him for my laundry room, hallway and entry way and now have him on the planner for my living room and dining room. Again he will be bringing his color consultant to help which to me is such a nice benefit. I cant not talk more highly or Spectrum and Andy. They take their jobs very seriously and take such pride in the end result while having fun along the way. If anyone is looking for a painter - these are the guys to use!

I was very pleased with his work. He was very efficient, clean and willing to make it neat.

Andy and the folks at Spectrum Painting are true professionals in every sense. From the pre-work inspection to the onsite work and finally to the closing of the project, they are always clean, polite and courteous. They take time to make sure you are clearly aware of the status of the project throughout the entire timeline. Andy provides several touchpoints along the way, keeping the homeowner updated as the overall status. I like this, because It gave me piece of mind that they really did care about us. I would definitely use them again and have referred them to 3 other individuals already.

He reached out to me via email after the purchase within two days and was very professional and apologetic and let me know the deal does not cover my area.

We receive proposal from company in mid-May. We responded via email to contract with company on 6/9/14. They responded on 6/13 stating weather delays would push work off until end of June beginning of July. We received no communication until we called and emailed about status on 6/30. They responded on 7/1 stating the work would be performed in mid-July. On 7/14 we received email stating they would get started this week and would contact us to let us know an exact date. We were gone from the 16th to the 21st and had a family staying at our house. On 7/16 a strange man showed up and put up a ladder on the house and began to power wash. We were never notified of this happening. Our house guest called in panic and I told her it was probably the painting company. The man left and told her that he ran out of gas and would be back tomorrow. He returned and completed the job, but left the hose running. As we didn't check the hose, the water pressure was nil the next morning since we are on a well. We contacted him via email to explain the situation and again asked him for a date of work being completed. The company responded via email that the power washer definitely wasn't the cause of the hose issue because he was only here one day (which was not true as he had to come back due to his machine running out of gas.) I called the owner of the company, Andrew Wagoner, today and asked if they still were going to complete the job as promised. He stated that he didn't have a qualified work crew to get it done in the next week. When I asked why he told us last week that the work would be done, he said he only committed to "commence work" and that it could be 3-4 weeks before it was all done. I asked if he wanted to do this work or not. He stated rudely that he would respond via email to us and hung up on me. I am still stunned at the horrible service this company provided before even getting to the painting. It seems that once you told them you were hiring them, you were no longer important.

Andy provided excellent service, with clear explanations of what needed to be done and a choice of solutions to the many problems. He provided several color samples on similar woods until we found exactly what we wanted--we weren't stuck with a bad choice from seeing just a color chip. Andy and his team were all as professional, prompt, and meticulous as we could have wanted! I was especially impressed with the care that he took to assure the safety of his workers, providing the right equipment for using serious chemicals, good strong ladders, hydration, and reasonable work expectations. I think they all work better because of the caring attitude of their boss! The work survived the harsh winter quite well and the house and deck look fresh and beautiful now!

For the interior project, Andy and his team painted our great room which was two stories high. I picked a color that required a colored primer and many coats of the color itself, Andy was very thorough in describing the paint and how it would interact with the primer to ensure that we got full coverage. It was a tedious and labor intensive project, but Andy's team was very professional and made sure to cover all the bases. For the exterior project, we had our wood trim, doors (front, back, and garage), and shutters painted. This project was more extensive in that it covered the exterior of our entire house as opposed to only one room. The work done was very clean and thorough. A lot of providers would just reach and paint behind the gutters. These guys actually removed the gutters so they can get an even coat of primer and paint on. For each project, we were provided a color consultant to help us pick out our colors. All in all, we are extremely pleased with the work done and will definitely recommend Spectrum Painting to anyone who is looking for quality work.

I was exceptionally pleased that they took the job on short notice, but it also involved them working late on a Friday and part of a Saturday to finish the job. There didn't appear to be any additional cost incured for these extra hours. I was very pleased that they were able to complete the work for me, and that they knew how important it was for me in a timely manor. Something else I was pleased with was the professionalism of the job. He brought in some plastic and covered all of the furniture in the room to protect it. He was very meticulous about doing the work. I've used them before and plan to use them again.

All went very well. Andy took the time to listen to what I hoped to achieve. Rachel, his color specialist, was outstanding suggesting color palate that was perfect for achieving the effect I was going for in this space. I receive many complements. They are detail oriented and will not leave the project until it is done to perfection. I would not hesitate to use Spectrum painting again! They are great!!

As a repeat customer of Spectrum Painting Corp, I requested a price quote for professionally cleaning and staining a new elevated deck. I was once again assured of craftmenship and professionalism of a job well done with quality materials. Spectrum did a splended job and I was totally satisified.

Contractor identified several areas of maintenance with best bang for the buck that improved overall appearance of home which had been on the market for a long time. The result was the house was sold.

This was a complete painting of all interior woodwork and walls ceilings and crown molding. The contractor removed all the doors and painted them with two coats then re-installed. The difference was so striking that I have had neighbors request contractor's name to do a similar job of them. This was an expensive piece of work, but the contractor spent many hours of work above the original estimate at no additional charge. This included extensive reworking of difficult areas. The result was well worth the investment.

The ceilings and walls look great and the drywall dust was kept to a minimum.

No contact from provider.

They company did not return my call.

From an interior painting on the one house that we have them do just meticulous in their approach to the work. I would use them again in the future if needed to.

We had a small fire in the upstairs of our house. The restoration company brought in a painter (not Spectrum) who did a poor job in several respects ... he did not choose the right paint for our trim and did not prepare the surface ... therefore the paint that he applied did not bond properly to the existing trim and is coming off. Workmanship was poor all the way around. We have called several painting contractors to come look at it and tell us what they could do. Andy came over on short notice at 8PM after a long work day to look at our problem and give us some ideas. Because of the overpainting problem he immediately recommended that the most cost-effective way to go is to replace all the woodwork and doors. Several other painters wanted to sand all the way to bare wood, or use a stripper. When we asked him about this, he said that there were two problems with either of those approaches. For sanding he said the time and mess associated with sanding would be cost prohibitive to get all the old product off; further he said that because of the adhesion problem between the two coats of paint that the sanding would just 'ball up' and not come off smoothly. As for stripping, he said that all commercial paint strippers are very flammable and hazardous to use in an occupied home. Also that the fumes from the cans are noxious and can be hazardous themselves. He said that his largest stripping job was $200,000 but the house was empty, so he knew what he was talking about. Also with stripping he said that it is very costly to strip all the way down to bare wood, very difficult to protect the carpet and other surfaces. Then when you are finished stripping, the cotton cloths that are used to remove the stripper leave a small lint residue that has to be sanded anyhow otherwise that lint will show up in the finished paint project. He said by far the most cost-effective way for us to proceed on this project is to replace all the woodwork and doors, which none of the other painters had recommended. When we asked him 'why' he gave us the reasons above, and said that we would just never be satisfied with the quality resulting from sanding or stripping, let alone the cost. He does not do the trim replacement himself, but said he could recommend someone if we needed it. We also had some issue with dry-rot on our windows. He looked at them and recommended an inexpensive way to repair the dry-rot for in the range of $45 to $75 for each of the windows. We had another company come out who wanted $395/window to do all the replacement ... WOW what a difference to get the same end product.

Spectrum has always been our "go to" painting company. Andy and his crew are willing to do about any job - big or small. They are professional, courteous and try to be as least disruptive as possible. At the end of each day, the supplies are put away neatly and rooms are put back together. We asked Andy to paint the interior of our lake house. It had been years since it was last done. He and his crew stayed up there for about three weeks. Since we weren't there personally to see how it was coming along, Andy communicated progress and problems daily with texts and pictures. We had confidence that Andy would get the job done right without us being there and we are very happy with the result. I highly recommend Spectrum and I'm sure we'll be using them again!

IT went very well. They worked until we were satisfied. Explained everything they were doing. Came several times to help us with colors for deck and house. Always cleaned up when they were finished for the day. Very professional and did a great job.

Andy and his crew completed the painting project on-time. The attention to detail was given throughout the course of the work. His crew was very friendly, courteous, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them.

From the beginning the estimate process was easy and professional. Andy explains what they are going to do and how they do it. I was impressed with the level of knowledge Andy Wagoner of Spectrum Painting has. Who knew there was so many differences to painting the exterior of your home. The guys that came out were easy to work with and set straight to getting it down. They worked around us and were so conscientious of our needs and plantings we hardly knew they had been there with the exception of the amazing difference it make to the look of the outside of our home. We are so pleased and tell everyone about Spectrum Painting. You should use them too!

It went very well. Andy met with me and described in detail what it would take to achieve the end result. This would be no quick fix. He then scheduled a time to get started and kept coming back as soon as the product had set up to do the next step. He was considerate of my time and schedule and made sure each time that my home was secured. Andy was a pleasure to work with and I am so pleased with my new front door and my home's appearance.

It went well and the job was well done. the warranty was a very good feature of this project and Andy always came every year to check on the paint job. We are very satisfied.

They took their time and did it right as opposed to doing it fast.
