Neil Niven & Son

Peter did a BEAUTIFUL, professional job!!! He was very easy to contact and provided a quick quote that was very competitive. He was always on time and tidied up each evening before he left. While working, he was very easy to have in our home. We HIGHLY recommend him to other Angie's Listers and plan to hire him in the future when we're ready for our next project. Thanks so much, Peter!!!!!

He did a great job! He was professional, courteous and left the area clean. He returned my calls and kept me up to date on when he would arrive.

Peter was wonderful to work with. He arrived every day when he said he would, and worked consistently throughout the day. His prices are very fair. The finished product looks great - we are very happy.

He did an outstanding job! The finish product was amazing and the price was a great deal! He was extremely accommodating to requests during the job. We plan on using him soon. We would highly recommend him as a painter.

I was very satisfied with the explanation of the services to be provided, paint to be used and processes for painting and removing the wall paper.

Peter recently completed wallpapering my living room and I was SO pleased with the results. He was very responsive, friendly and easy to work with. We called for an estimate and Peter came by the house to see what needed to be done. His quote was very fair and we hired him. He was able to strip the wallpaper in one day and hung the new wallpaper in an afternoon. When he was done, everything was cleaned and picked up like he was not even there. Except for the new wall paper, beautifully done. I would definitely recommend his services and will definitely use him again in the future.

Peter Niven (son) was professional, neat, organized in work methods and appearance. A joy to have in our home and fun to talk to. My husband and I are very happy with Peter and have passed his name on to other friends.

The company responded to a call immediately and set up a time to review for an estimate. The company arrived on time as scheduled and spend a considerable amount of time reviewing the work to be done and took measurements. We have spend close to 20 years restoring our turn of the century home and wanted a period quality result. The project was discussed and the details of the work to be done were thoroughly reviewed. An estimate was provided as promised shortly thereafter. The company provided references which were verified before a decision was made. Other company estimates and references were considered before the decision to hire Nevin. A start date was agreed to and Nevin called four days prior to confirm the start date. Nevin showed up the first day fully prepared to work. Nevin showed up every day follwing without exception arrived promptly worked a full day and approached work onthe project in a logical fashion to get the project done as efficiently as possible. We were skeptical that Nevin could paint woodwork, stair spindles etc. where the floors had previously been finished without a cover and not drip paint or mess the floor. The top railing for the stairs had to be stripped stained and sealed which was done after the painting. Nevin's work in keeping paint, stain etc. separate and unspotted was flawless. In fact, every day there was clean-up and the area was kept free of debris, dust etc. Nevin is so precise and skilled that he was able to paint the ceiling after painting woodwork. Nevin is a perfectionist with wallpaper so it was no surprise that phase of the project wrapped up quickly with a flawless result. The overall project completed on schedule as promised at the price promised and the result could not have been better. I would recommend anyone who wants a large project like ours or smaller one with similar requirements to consider Nevin and if possible wait for him to be available. I know we will look forward to having Nevin do more work in our home.

We asked for them to come out and give an estimate for painting the ceiling on the entire first floor. It was more then a week before we heard from them again and were told the estimate would only be free if we used them, this was after they had come out. (it had stated in their information about them that estimates were free) We didn't end up with the estimate because they wanted to charge us $35 and we had to start all over again getting and estimate for the inurance company. I just found that bad business.

Peter works alone. He arrived promptly at 7:30 each morning which was the perfect time for us. The hallway is 2 stories so we were pleasantly surprised when it was done at the end of the second day. The dining room has multiple windows and doors and a chair rail but he got that done pretty quickly as well. There was some sanding so he sealed off the dining room so the dust wouldn't get into the rest of the house. Things were pretty well spotless at the end of the day. My wife and I were very pleased at the end result - corners were done fine. We have a wall to wall rug in the hall and we were concerned that there might be a few paint spots on the rug. We checked it thoroughly at the end and there were no spills. The job went very smoothly, on time and on budget. We've gotten several compliments on how it all turned out.
