They were absolutely terrific. A great company all around.

Mike and his team were a pleasure to work with -- very nice guys, above and beyond service. Very accommodating of my changing needs, and committed to making sure I was pleased with the results (for example they came back and repeated a dry wall repair, sanding and paint job on one wall because they weren't satisfied with the initial results -- I didn't have to ask, they just came back and revisited the sanding until you couldn't tell at all where the repair had been made).

Very nice job, reasonable, quick and efficient!

Well, it started out that we had hired another contractor when the owner of Pillar Painting, Mike, came to our door and asked if we would like some painting done. Since we had already hired someone, we said thanks anyway, but kept his card. We had some issues with the other contractor (escalating and unreasonable costs), so we fired them and called Mike. He came right out and gave us a much more reasonable price for whole job, so we hired him. I was having some trouble choosing colors (wanted to change things up), but had seen a house nearby with the colors I liked. He actually went to their door several times until he was able to speak to the owners and get the colors from them. He and his crew started the job, and after starting with the trim and garage doors, we ran into a slight problem. They had been painting the garage doors when it started to downpour and they had to pack up and leave quickly. The next morning, we tried opening the garage doors, and because they were old and made of particle board, they stuck, breaking the plastic grills in the windows, and cracking one of the windows. He apologized profusely, and promised that he would make sure that I would be "more then happy" when the job was done. It did take quite a long time, but he looked everywhere and finally found the grills (no longer manufactured by same company). When he was trying to reinstall them, the window that cracked shattered when he removed it, so he replaced that too. Back to the painting... As he was painting the trim, I loved the color against the brick and mortar on the front of the house, but when he got to the sides and the back, it clashed with the color of the siding. I was devastated and knew that no matter what we did, it would either mean I wouldn't like it (clashing colors), or would have to pay more money to start over (or paint siding). We ended up painting the siding because again, he gave us a fair and reasonable price. Mike was so easy to work with and so responsive to my needs and indecisiveness. He helped me through it all and was in constant contact with me. We went away for a long weekend and he finished the job (except for the garage windows), sending me pictures. When I got home, I was once again unsure of the colors I had chosen for the front door and shutters. Call me crazy! So again, we negotiated a price for repainting them, which he did right away. Throughout the job, Mike gave the most personalized, friendly service. The window sills in some areas were rotted and rather than just painting over them, he brought them to my attention and recommended two different contractors to repair them. It took a very long time to get the estimates (not really Mike's fault) and didn't really get them until after he had finished painting. He did offer to come back afterwards and finish painting the trim on those windows that needed repair. Mike also did some "extra" things at "no charge" which were much appreciated. He power washed a concrete pad outside our back lower door, he painted the mailbox (adding cute touches), and finished parts of the deck unfinished by the previous contractor. After painting our front door (twice with color changes), he offered to come back and paint a new door that we planned to get, but hadn't ordered yet. Really nice of him!!! I really enjoyed working with Mike, he was professional, but I also felt like I was working with a friend... someone who really cared about making me happy. I felt like I was such a pain... not difficult or unpleasant, but just kept changing my mind. He worked with me through it all with a sense of humor. Highly recommend Pillar Painting!

Mike and his team were awesome! I had been referred to Mike via JT Contracting and had meet him on a job that JT Contracting was doing for us. He was so easy to work with. He walked around the house with me as I explained all I needed. He explained that as part of is service he would power wash the trim, clean the gutters, seal the gutters, add caulk where is was needed and paint all areas with Sherman Williams 25 Year Exterior paint. He was so helpful in providing me feedback on how to go about the work I needed. He said he would provide me with a fair quote. And I was pleasantly surprised when his quote and my idea of what I wanted to pay where a match! When the crew arrived, they took their time, painted, repaired and clean as promised. Their attention to detail was on par with my high expectations! They even went the extra mile by fixing small problems, like a loose shingle, that was beyond the scope of our agreement. They even power washed and stained by old weathered front porch bench! Service like that is had to come by. The house looks great! I will absolutely use Pillar Painting for my next exterior or interior home painting!

They are professional and I am satisfied with the work so far.

Great! Quality work @ great prices.

Not well at all.

Overall it went very good.

Great. I let them in and they executed with excellance. I would not hesitate to use them again and in fact, recommended them to my daughter who is having extensive work done on both the interior and exterior of her house.

Pracht had a subcontractor call me - this was a bit confusing because I kept calling back Pracht and it took a few days for the sub to get back to me. His price was excellent - and he was very helpful in giving me resources to pick a wall color and he bought extra paint for me at his contractor's discount so I could do the rest of the foyer and front room. I had a little trouble scheduling the work - he didn't get back to me for a while and I almost hired a different contractor. We finally got the work scheduled and he was over an hour late arriving. He completed the work quickly and did a fairly good job. He offered to caulk the molding when he gave me the estimate, but he forgot to do this. He didn't cover the banister so there was some fine paint spatter on it, but it came off fairly easily. I would say it wasn't the best contractor experience in the world, but for the price I would definitely hire him again for a small job. Keep in mind that this experience describes the subcontractor (I can't remember his name), not Pracht Painting - but since this is who they sent, I feel that this person represents their company.

The painter arrived on time (despite car issues!) and started painting right away. Along the way he gave me some tips on painting sleeves and brushes. He also offered help with colors and accent wall suggestions. I hadn't planned to do our upstairs hallway that day, but since I was so pleased with his work, I had him paint it that day too. Overall pleasant experience. I would recommend this company. In fact, I'm having him back in the future to paint our bedrooms.

Not only did they show up early Saturday morning, they showed up with bagels and took that time to review with us the work to be done. I was amazed at how fast and how well the team worked together. The house looks awesome and we couldn't be happier! These guys are true professionals and a job to work with--highly recommended!

First, I'd like to say that Mike and his team were very accomodating and patient. I was indecisive about the colors I wanted to use. They gave me tips and suggestions which helped me make a decision. They used top quality paint from Sherwin Williams. Mike helped me choose a Satin finish and I love the way it looks on my walls. I chose three different colors for the rooms and they had no complaints about having to clean equipment between rooms. I also decided to paint the ceilings at the last minute. It is a textured ceiling so they opted to power spray it. This worried me a little as I didn't want paint splatter all over the place. They did an excellent job of covering everything, I only had a little power sprayer paint on the molding in the stairway. It came off easily with water and a rag. I have staggered cabinets in the kitchen with space above and below them of heights from 5" to 20". They did an excellent job of cutting around these cabinets as well as all of the woodwork throughout the first floor. I was very impressed at how straight their lines were without the help of masking tape. For example the line between the white ceiling and colored wall is very even and straight. They helped me take down curtains and blinds and also helped me put them back up. They needed to use extra paint on the hallway because the builder didn't prime the wall well enough. I could tell there was a little irritation about this, but they didn't quit until it was done right. Overall, I am very pleased with the finished product and will be calling them again in the future to complete the three bedrooms and two baths in the upper level of my home.

He did an incredible job!! He was courteous, punctual, returned calls promptly, left no mess and I loved the end result. Will definately use his company again in the future.

I have been wanting to have my whole house painted for quite sometime now. A friend of mine recommended Pracht Painting. They had done work for her a few times before, and she didn't have one bad thing to say about them. However, I was still sceptical about calling them, because I don't like dealing with contractors much, as I am a single female, and sometimes I feel that they like to take advantage of that. I decided to go ahead and give them a call. When I called them to scehdule an appointment, they were extremely prompt and courteous and very professional on the phone. On the scheduled date, they arrived 15 minutes earlier than they were supposed to, well dressed, definitley not what I expected from contractors. They spoke very inteligently, and were very knowledgable about what type of paint would be needed. They took the time to show me photos of other jobs that they performed, and answered all my questions and concerns to my satisfaction. After the appointment, I felt very confident, that they were the ones I wanted to paint my home for me. They came back a week later to start the job. They were very respectful of me and my home. They completed the job ahead of schedule. They made sure that they left my home exactly the way that it was before they started. The job looked amazing. I couldn't find anything wrong with the work they had done, and that is very unusual for me to say, becuase I typically have OCD!!! I would definitley recommend Pracht Painting to anyone, and I will definitely be having them back in the Spring to paint my exterior. Once that is done, I will be sure to give an update!!!

Mike was responsive and professional. He emailed me a written detailed estimate for each portion of the work the same day as he came out along with references. He also does exterior painting and due to the rain was able to start the next day and finished in the 2 days he promised. He + his associate were clean and thorough. My cathedral walls were painted a vibrant red and they look fantastic.
