I have used Presto Painting for over 20 years. They painted the exterior and interior of my previous home and have painted my current house twice in the past 13 years. Presto has always stood behind their work. I am proud to recommend their services.
Description of Work: Stripped and repainted (new colors) the entire outside of the home. The quality of the work and attention to detail is fantastic. This time, we also needed to reside the front face of the house. Costa (Owner) connected us with a well known contractor and arranged the timing of the contractor also. The house was meticulously stripped of previous paint, repainted a whole new color combination and the work has been outstanding.

Description of Work: replaced clapboard on one part of the house, and did some repairs to outside of windows. also painted the areas that were repaired. |it was very difficult to get them out here, and then to get them back to finish. |The owner, John, is very nice to talk with, but doesn't follow through. |When the job was done, I told him that I had a skylight that leaked in my family room. This was on a Friday. He said someone would be out to look at the skylight that Saturday or Monday. Never heard from him again. I paid bills promptly and was a good customer, and their reliability is terrible, though I have no complaints with the quality. But reliability is a huge factor for me.

Response from PRESTO PAINTING INC
Ms. [Member Name Removed], your review was posted to the wrong company. We here at Presto Painting, Inc. have never done any work for you and we do not service your area. The owner of our company is Costa Makris, not the person you’re referring to in your review. Kindly remove this. Thank you, Carol

Costa MAKRIS & his Crew (up to 8 Men at one time) are true Professionals. They arrived a day early to store their ladders & equipment on Site. They arrived at exactly 07:30 the following Morning, began to Prep the Site, & place the necessary drop cloths before anything was begun. They fabricated protective frames & covers for all the plantings that surround the house. Once the Site was secure & prepared they went right to work scrapping the wood clapboards. Due to the fluctuations of new England Weather the scraping took place over @ 5 days, but Costa was on Site each day & kept us updated as due to the progress & times in spite of the assistance of Mother Nature. Costa & his Crew even worked 2 Full Days on successive Saturdays to make up for the Time lost to Rain! The Crew Cleaned up the Site & Stowed every piece of equipment Each & Every Night before leaving! The Prime & Final Coats took place over a 3 day time span & the result is FANTASTIC! The Final Product is OUTSTANDING!!! Their Professionalism & Cleanliness is Above & Beyond!!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Costa, Carol, MAKRIS & Their Crew at Presto Painting, Inc.to anyone who is looking for an OUTSTANDING Painting Contractor.
Description of Work: Complete Hand Scrape, Power Wash, Prep, Prime, & Finish Paint with 2 Final Coats of Paint to a House, Trim & Fences in the Salem Historic District.

Moving into our new townhouse, we decided the painting needed a complete do-over. Presto's crew is very, very thorough: filling holes, plastering over bumpy surfaces, obviously applying multiple coats of primer/paint and doing it all with humor and thoroughly cleaning up after their work is done. They even go so far as to bring their own microwave to heat up their lunch and, weather permitting, set it up outside. When the crew is done, the owner comes to make sure it is up to his standards and assuring that we are pleased with their work and we are really pleased with their work.
Description of Work: Have used their services to redo our entire interior of our new townhouse. Have osed them over the span of 4 months

They were very good and were a pretty big company. We used them because the two brothers who owned the company actually renovated our house. They did interior painting with a repair of an insurance claim. We would use them again in future if need be.

They did a really nice job. Their preparation was excellent and their work was high quality. I did have to wait a very long time for them, and got no response from them for months, but it was worth the wait for the work they did. They cleaned up well, and I was very happy with them.
Description of Work: They painted the exterior of my home and painted our garage as well.

It was great. They did a wonderful job, and it was quick and the job was done in a couple of days. They also had subcontracted a carpenter to do some woodwork on the house.

They showed up on time. They did what they said they would do in the allotted time. They were very clean and tidy. They're are not the cheapest, but it is certainly worth it. They are very pleasant to deal with over the phone, excellent customer. They are great at returning calls.
Description of Work: They painted two bedrooms and a bathroom.

THEY DID GREAT WORK. CLEANED UP AFTER THEMSELVES WELL, AND ANSWERED OUR QUESTIONS. WE TYPED UP A WORKPLAN IN WORD, EMAILED IT TO THEM FOR AN ESTIMATE AND WE WERE ABLE TO EDIT THE WORD DOCUMENT UNTIL WE HAD TO THE TODO LIST FINALIZED. THEN WE BOTH SIGNED IT AND IT BECAME THE CONTRACT. WE ARE GOING TO USE THEM AGAIN TO DO EXTERIOR PAINTING THIS SUMMER. THE NICE THING IS THAT IF, IN THE COURSE OF PAINTING FOR EXAMPLE, YOU FIND ROTTED WOOD, THEY CAN DO THE NECESSARY CARPENTRY. THEY CAN BE A BIT HARD TO GET IN TOUCH WITH, AND DON'T START THE JOB NECESSARILY WHEN YOU WANT THEM TO, BUT ONCE THEY GET STARTED, THEY KEEP WORKING ON THE PROJECT UNTIL IT'S DONE. SEVERAL EMPLOYEES DID OUR JOB AND WORKED ABOUT 8 DAYS IN A ROW. PRICE SEEMS REASONABLE FOR THE WORK. WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
Description of Work: PRESTO WAS RECOMMENDED BY A FRIEND FOR EXTERIOR PAINTING, BUT WE USED THEM FOR WINDOWS. THEY REPLACED 33 WINDOWS, 3 STORM DOORS, ONE WOOD DOOR, AND SOME ROTTED WINDOWSILLS. WE PICKED THE MATERIALS THAT WE WANTED AND THEY BOUGHT AND INSTALLED THEM. SOMETIMES THEY GAVE US ADVICE.

WE HAVE A VERY LARGE HOME AND THE JOB TOOK 4 GUYS A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO COMPLETE. THEY DID EXCELLENT WORK. THEY HAD A FOREMAN ON THE JOB WHO BROUGHT COLOR SAMPLES AND HELPED ME SELECT COLORS. THEY EVEN PAINTED SMALLER PARTS OF THE HOUSE TO SEE IF WE LIKED IT FIRST, BEFORE PAINTING THE WHOLE THING. THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND I LIKE THEM VERY MUCH.
