Response from Catchlight Painting
Mr. and Mrs. [Member Name Removed], thank you for your kind review. We appreciate our pricing is higher than others; in an effort to attract the top painters our customers deserve we hire only legally employable craftsmen and women, perform drug tests and background checks, offer training, paid time off, health and retirement benefits to our staff once they are vested. We feel this practice serves us well and helps us maintain the high standards our customers expect. Our thanks again, for your business, and to the Newton designer who suggested you contact us. Sincerely, Nigel

Description of Work: I used Nigel and his painters this past fall to paint my bedroom. They were incredibly accommodating about my schedule (I am a student) and were incredibly responsive to my needs. My bedroom looks incredible. They even patched some of the walls and fixed some issues I had with where my walls met the ceiling. The workers were friendly and had a great sense of humor (I had some "interesting" graffiti on my walls left from a prior tenant). I really cannot recommend them highly enough. Absolutely a fabulous experience.

Member, thank you for such a generous review! We enjoyed working with you. You used our Painter for a Day service which fit perfectly with your project - we're glad you enjoyed our company for the day! Best, Nigel

Description of Work: I have nothing but praise for Nigel. He's a consummate professional, experienced and knowledgeable. After assessing the job on a Thursday (with probably a dozen different items of varying sizes), he sent me the estimate on Monday, and was then available both by email and by phone to answer my questions and address any concerns. I did not end up hiring Catchlight simply due to the higher cost of their services, but Nigel was gracious and took several opportunities to praise his competition. I have every expectation that his crew would have done a fantastic job.

Description of Work: He came in and looked at all of the bids I had received. He knew the other bid I was considering He went through the other bids and would say which ones I should and shouldn't use. It was really fascinating the way he went through all of the bids. He was very direct as to who I should I shouldn't use. His price was more then what I wanted to pay so I couldn't end up using him. He really knows all of the contractors in the area. He is a really nice guy and would have used him if his price wasn't much higher than another bid I got. I really enjoyed his approach and makes you feel really comfortable.

Member, I appreciated the opportunity to bid on the painting of your home's interior and exterior, and I'm glad to have lost the bid to a respected and professional competitor. I count the company owner John as a friend and role model - you couldn't have chosen better. Best, Nigel

Description of Work: They removed the old wallpaper form our kitchen, painted, and touched up the cabinets. DId a wonderful job, everything was put back in place when they were done and the place looks twenty years younger. Reliable, on the mark for their estimate both for time and the final bill. Will hire them again whenever we need painting.
