Annapolis Painting Services

David and Christian were very professional and helped us get our ceiling painted without issue! They said it would be a two day project and ended up being just complete in one! Thankful for their services and Annapolis Painting for the great service.

Both the power wash and staining turned out great. Not sure how to rate the price as this is the first time I've had it done. The guys doing the work were on time and worked very hard.

very well, the garage floor epoxy turned out very well, and well as the drywall repair and painting

Cleaning went well with 3 guys and done in one day. They called to coordinate the day to start of the staining which let us avoid a dinner party we were having. A team of 8 stained for 2 consecutive days. They left the site clean. The price was about the same as we paid a one-man company 3 years earlier and about $1k less than another quote we got for the work. We were very pleased and will have them quote any future painting we need done.

Excellent-arrived on time, did a great job-very neat

Not well. The job was sloppy, quality poor, no attention to detail and they left before the job was finished. We called the office and insisted that the VP come out and look at the poor work that was performed and asked that they send another crew that was more professional and spoke English correctly before we satisfied the bill. The second crew was professional, meticulous and pleasant. It took three weeks for the job to be completed. They were the most expensive of the quotes we received, thinking we would be better quality. After the job was over, we asked for a price concession given the amount of time and aggravation we were subjected to and they refused, essentially blaming us for insisting on quality. "They did not make any profit" was their response. No customer service. Stay away.

They did a great job. One day of prep second day of paint. Great customer service

Annapolis Painting Services did an excellent job painting the entire exterior of my 3-story home. Their painters were professional and friendly. The exterior of my home also needed about $2,000 of carpentry work, and their carpenters completed this work very well. During the weeks after the job was done, two problems arose. Both times they promptly fixed the problems. I highly recommend them.

Excellent! Enoch and his team were extremely professional! Attention to detail and preciseness exceeded our expectations. Would 100% hire again. Very happy with the end result.

I cannot believe that all of the write-ups on this business are good. My experience was not pleasant and the painting quality was terrible. The sales person for the company, “P”, came to my house and we discussed, in detail, exactly what I wanted done. He wrote up a proposal and quoted a price. When I reviewed the proposal, I called, and had some of the detail of what was to be done added. Work was supposed to take 3 days to complete drywall patching, nail hole fixes and painting. Day 1 – Two painters showed up – “J” and “Earring”. I had been told that if I had leftover paint cans with the colors of the walls and trim I wanted painted, I could give them to the painters and they would take them to the paint store and match the colors for the paint they were going to use. Day one was finished at 3 o’clock. When I looked around after they left I noticed problems. The living room window blind was tangled up in the cord on one side and I noticed the wall paint was on one side of the frame for the white/wooden Venetian blinds. The edging between the walls and the ceiling was wavy and not a straight edge. Where the living room wall met the stairwell wall there was mocha paint on the stairwell wall which was a fern green, and there was fern green paint brush swipes on the mocha living room wall. There was mocha paint on the white baseboard trim in the living room, which was not supposed to be getting painted. By the time I got upstairs to the bathroom I was overwhelmed. I couldn’t get in the bathroom. The painters had stored all of their things in there – ladders in the bathtub, paint cans, rollers, brushes, drop cloths. The wall cabinet had been taken down to paint, was sitting on the floor, and on the top were rags, roller holders and handles and caulk. There was no way we could use our only full bath for showering the next morning to go to work. I called the sales person “P” and told him what had happened and he came to the house. The first thing he said was “they aren’t finished yet”. I showed him all the issues I had and he said he would be here the next morning and we could discuss the issues. Day 2 - The painters showed up first and the salesman had already talked to them. The senior painter “J”, said he had taken the venetian blinds down to paint, but when he was putting them back up he got some paint on them and he would clean it off. He also stated that I had told them they could store their stuff in the upstairs bathroom. I had, but they had already shut the door and I did not see the bathroom was packed with stuff, and they had even filled the tub and we couldn’t use the shower. The sales person “P” showed up awhile later and basically tried to smooth things over. The two painters went to work. Later as I walked past the bathroom “Earring” was getting ready to paint the bathroom window and the screen was still in the window. It is an interior screen because the window winds out. I stopped and asked him to please remove the screen before he started painting because if paint got on the screen it would be difficult to remove and it could damage the screen in the process of trying to remove the paint.. He never spoke or turned around to looked at me. I started showing him how to remove the screen. He turned around and said to me “we do this all the time”. They finished at 3 o’clock and said that they were done. I looked at the blinds, the trim, the walls that a had brush stroke from the other paint color on them, and it looked fixed. Later that day I sat in the bathroom and the living room and looked around - there was white paint on the screen in the bathroom. The drywall over the shower had started to bubble out. The wood trim on the framework, wainscoting, and the bathtub wood frame had semi-gloss paint that had little lumps in it. The paint on the wood had puddled in the corners and the outside corners around the door frame had globs of paint hanging over the edge. Paint had been dripped on the shower tiles, etc. The front door had mocha paint on the side of the door frame, on a side that was not visible unless you were on that side of the living room. I started putting little pieces of blue painters tape all the bad spots. Then I called “P” to tell him what was going on. "P" came out and in addition to the spots I had found he started marking additional spots that he saw with his own roll of blue painter’s tape. “P” said that he was going to send out “E” to fix things because “E” could make even his mother-in-law happy. “E” wasn’t available to come out until – Day 5 – When “E” arrived he looked around at all the marked spots and found a few on his own. None of the nail pops on the stairwell walls had been fixed. He started to work immediately fixing nail pops, sanding and painting in the bathroom, and cleaned the window screen. I was impressed. Then he went to lunch. He was gone almost two hours because he had received a call about another job where the painters couldn’t reach a peak on a house they were painting, and he had to go there and do some work. He got back to work at my house, and then about 4pm he started packing up all his equipment. I said he could leave it until he came back on Monday, but he said he may not be able to come back on Monday because they had lined up a bunch of other jobs and he may have to go to one of those. Day 8 – “E” did not show up. After about 2 hours I called “P” who seemed surprised because he said he had seen “E” leave in the truck much earlier. He would call "E"s supervisor and call me back. The supervisor called me back and explained that “E” had come into work but that he had been sick, and had some personal problems to take care of and had to leave work. Day 10– “E” showed up and had another painter with him – a much older man that never spoke English, that I will call “O”. “E” was working up in the bathroom and “O” was downstairs working on trim (??). “O” spent most of the day running upstairs to talk to “E”. 12 o’clock came and went, and “E” and “O” never broke for lunch. So I said something to “E” and he said they were going to work straight through and leave early because they had something else to do. He also told me that the previous painters had used my old can of semi-gloss paint to paint all of the wood and that was why it looked like there was gunk in the paint. Then “O” started going upstairs more often and staying up there much longer and the conversations involved a lot of laughter. At 2 o’clock they both packed up and they left. I went around the house and saw several things that had still not been done. I was so disgusted with Annapolis Painting Services I didn't even want them in my house again. As the days went on I noted the things that needed to be done still: The attic access wood in the upstairs ceiling had been painted with ceiling paint not semi-gloss and the metal piece that holds the wood top had ceiling paint on it. The rim of the ceiling light had been taped for painting but there was still paint on the rim. None of the nail pops in the upstairs hall had been fixed. There were thick swipes of paint on the hallway wall that needed to be sanded and repainted. The back of the spigot on the bathroom sink had white semi-gloss on it. There were still paint drips on the wainscoting and the trim on top. The linen closet door had been removed. Part of that painting had been done and the door had been put back but there were big black hand prints on the inside of the door. The list goes on. I have photographs but I do not see a place to post the photographs I found out later when explaining to a friend what had happened, that this company had a terrible reputation and the owner had been charged and fined in the past for having about 45 illegal aliens working for him and had provided very crowded living quarters for them while they worked for him. They were not “professional” painters and got their training on the job. Angie’s List has a paragraph about the charges for Illegal Aliens, but it is not on the page you go to when you key in Annapolis Painting Services. You have to search on Illegal Aliens to find the information. Following is a link to the newspapers which reported this situation.

Victor and his crew did a great job. They worked very hard all day. Annapolis Painting went out of there way to accommodate me. My house now looks fantastic, and I'm very pleased with their work. Well done!

Overall the entire experience was very pleasing. I managed to get a very quick appointment for an estimate, and the interior was measured within twenty minutes. I had the estimate by the end of the day. My estimate was done on a Friday, and they were able to start painting by Wednesday. The work was completed in five work days. The work looks very professional, and they did a great job repairing the nail holes and other minor imperfections. About the only complaint we had was that one of the painters left a banana peel on the floor at the end of one of the work days (covered by a tarp but still).

I am absolutely delighted with the way Annapolis Painting handled this project. Representative came out to give an estimate only 2 days after my initial phone call to them. He was thourough and very professional. He was set up to provide a quotation on the initial visit. The price was reasonable, especially now that I see the completed work. The painter, Evar, arrived right on schedule and got right to work. He walked me through the project to make sure all the details were clear and understood. He was diligent, and took great care to cover and protect my walls, floors and furniture. I cannot adequately express how happy I am with the results and am glad I chose to go with Annapolis Painting.

On time quick came back for minor touch up

This company did a great job from scheduling to the end of the job. Pat, who did the estimate, was on time, courteous and answered all my questions. He made sure I knew how long the job would take, how much paint was required, and how to prepare the area. The two-man painting crew arrived on time and got right to work. They were meticulous and ensured drop clothes were on our hardwood floors. They also covered all the handrails and the hardwood stairs. Not a paint drop anywhere and they didn't use my sink even though we offered! They were also super fast. The work was done a half day early! Will definitely use them again.

Owner was prompt with site visit and bid. Work was excellent, colormatch was great. Additionally we were under time pressure for completion of work and owner worked with us to meet our deadline.

Great! We love the new look of our white kitchen. The team was professional, easy to work with, on time & the project looks great. They were more expensive than some of the other quotes, but worth it.

Marvin arrived on time despite bad directions from Mapquest (he called to get exact directions) . I was a little surprised that he didn't have the necessary materials with him - e.g. drywall. But, after looking at the work to be done he was able to go out and get it, come back and still get just about everything accomplished in the first day in record time. He came back the second day and finished up, including pointing up all of the spots where he had added new drywall. Not only that he was able to get matching paint based on a sample from old drywall, The finished work was as good as it gets. Thanks to Marvin and APS.

The sales man was great. We were worried about spending so much money on painting. The priced seemed high. The job foreman was responsive and listened to our requests or concerns. I never had need to hire a painter so I was more of a hawk eye on the job, but they handled my nervousness like pros and I was very impressed at the end of each day. They were clean timely and got their work done. I think they did more plaster work than we had originally discussed but the work and fixes were done so well that I wasn't going to say stop! I wished our foreman spoke a bit more English, he was in and out and not around as much but he always made time to go thru rooms with me. That helped me understand a lot about the process, and I think helped him to know what I wanted to see done. Always on time or early! Be prepared for early! They rehung mirrors and replaced socket covers. Colored and semi-gloss walls came out more than fantastic. They were so clean. They even vacuumed! We couldn't be happier. Money very well spent, trust well placed, every dime earned. Our house feels like a home. Our home.

We went with Annapolis Painting Services because they were the most responsive of the three companies we received estimates from. They were the middle price though all of the prices were competitive and within 15% of each other. It was Pat Donnelly's responsiveness to my questions along with generally good reviews that decided it for us. As for the work, they arrived when they were supposed to, happily worked around our work shift schedules and took care of my two minor punch list items without complaint. Most importantly they did a really good job staining the place. If there is an uneven spot anywhere in the work we haven't found it. Their crew apparently knows wood siding. As for the rest: no shrubs were damaged, no overspray found and, most importantly, it looks good. My only minor quibbles were not reinstalling the gutter downspouts back into the drains correctly and breaking a piece off a plastic window molding. Replacing the molding was a nonissue and, to be fair, they probably would have corrected the downspouts if I had asked. But they really should pay a little more attention to details like that given the otherwise excellent quality of the painting work. So, to me, that still gets a "B" on professionalism. Details do count. Otherwise we are very pleased with their work and will use them again.

I hired them because of their reputation on Angies list. Pat the salesman was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. the men arrived right on time. I was surprised only 3 men showed up on day one. Not knowing any better and a lack of communication, I was expecting a larger crew with the amount of work that was scheduled. So with the small crew the work ended up taking three days. (I will better plan and ask more questions about duration next time.) Anyway day two and three it was just two men doing everything. Willy the head onsite painter spoke broken English second guy spoke no English. They done a great job. Very neat work. My only issue was at the end of the job, my wife was in the kitchen and Willy approached the kitchen sink to wash his brushes. My wife tried to explain we keep our sink sanitary for doing dishes. (I understand a lot of folks wash baby's, pets, clip nails, wash hands you name it in the kitchen sink. Not us.) My wife asked him to go ten feet to powder room sink. With the communication gap he said no and again advanced to the kitchen sink. She had to literally get between him and the sink to stop him. Well after that he had an attitude towards her. I just so happen to come home as this episode ended. Willy lost the attitude when I spoke to him and it was not mentioned anymore. I paid him and off they went to their next job.

I signed up for the Big Deal expecting a phone call. I received a voice mail message. The caller spoke so fast I did not hear all of it or could I when I replayed it. I thought they would call back; they did not. I never contacted them.

It was good. They did a great job and they did it quickly so I was happy. You get what you pay for.

Ivar did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier! You would never know these cabinets were not originally white. Ivar was so easy to to work with- always on time and flexible. Request him!! They were a more expensive than some of our other quotes, but absolutely worth the extra money.
