I checked my phone and do not remember getting the call. If I missed the call, I am very sorry. I really try very hard to return all my calls and to make my appointments.

Description of Work: Quality of work is great - had a couple of disagreements - we both apologized. unfortunately they didn't clean up after themselves nor did anyone come back to check on the work. Overall the painting and repairing the baseboards of the basement and stairs were great.

Response from Harold Howard's Painting Service
As the Owner, I did visit the job to check the quality of the work. When the work was almost completed, I looked over the work (room by room) and I was very satisfied with the work performed by my crew. In addition, I am fortunate in that I have an Outstanding Foreman that always ensures that the jobs meet our high standards. When the job was completed, I asked the customer if he was satisfied with the work. He told me that he and his wife were VERY SATISFIED with the painting and the installation of the base boards. As a result, he paid me for the work performed. My crew takes pride in their work and always goes the extra mile in the completion of each job.

Harold was very responsive upon first contact and we had an estimate quickly. It took us a little time to settle on our painting contractor and select our paint, but soon after we were ready the company began the work. Harold did consult on what finishes of paint (eggshell, flat, etc.) based on room uses and sizes and offered paint advice when asked (although we didn't ask too much, as we knew what we wanted.) He pointed out that a couple of ceilings could use repainting and we agreed with his assessment. We asked him to take down and patch all the fixtures in the bathrooms (towel racks etc.) and not reinstall them and you can't tell where they were now (good patching job.) The job took about seven working days and the team worked a Saturday to get it done on time. The painters left very neat trim lines, working with previous trim lines that weren't as neat but covering evidence of the previous paint. Upon completion, we noted some clean-up items that Harold took the time to come and finish. We even noticed a few things a little later that he came back out to fix. He mentioned that if the walls were scuffed on move-in he would be willing to come back out to fix the walls. Harold wants his customers to be pleased with their paint job, and is very pleasant to work with and speak to. The house is gleaming and beautiful with the paint job. We are very happy with the results. As a note: if you send requests in e-mail, Harold will still ask you to show him what you require, which in retrospect makes a lot of sense to ensure that you're both on the same page. I appreciate Harold's attention to our needs through the whole process and would use his services again.
Description of Work: We hired Harold Howard's Painting Service to paint all of the rooms on the main floor, and most of the rooms on the upper floor, of a home we purchased. As a part of the work, the wallpaper in two bathrooms was removed, and in a few of the rooms they repainted the ceilings. All trim work and doors were painted.

Overall things went well. He was prompt and very professional. The painting job went well and as did the dry wall repair for the most part. In some lighting conditions, I can still see where the dry wall was patched. He did come back to put another coat of paint on the ceiling but still in some lighting conditions, I can still see where the ceiling was patched. I am not sure if this is the usual result when dry wall is patched. This was my experience. Overall, would use for painting but not sure about the drywall as I am still up in the air.
Description of Work: Painting of ceiling in two rooms along with repair of drywall in two areas. The first area was about 6 inches in diameter and the other was about a 2 ft x 3 ft area.

The painter did a fabulous job. He did what I hired him to do and he did a good job. I like him since he is a great guy. He was very professional and knew what he was doing. His price was good and I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: I used Harold Howard's Painting Service for painting a wall in my family room a couple of weeks ago.

I was first told about the service from a neighbor of mine. My fiance and I just moved into our very first house and we were in desperate need of putting our own personal touches to make the house feel like our home. I often labor at times when making difficult decisions like that of selecting colors for a wall. Harold Howard's painters were professional and provided their expert knowledge on how to make colors flow all throughout the home. Needless to say we don't regret our decision one bit! Our house looks amazing! And when we entertain we get all kinds of compliments from friends and family when they see how spectacular all the painting looks. We especially get compliments on our beautiful kitchen. If you need a painting service that is professional, courteous and gets the job done quickly, then Harold Howard's Painting Service should be tops on your list!
Description of Work: The entire house from top to bottom needed painting. The basement needed to be lightened because the colors were much too dark and enclosed the space. The paint color was changed and it spruced up the space. On the main floor, the den, sitting area and kitchen (as well as the kitchen ceiling) were given a warm makeover with bright splashes of color. In the kitchen the tough to reach places above the cabinets and by the pantry were taken care of. What really surprised me was the wall behind the refrigerator was painted (most services I would imagine would neglect that area). The den and sitting areas were given earthy tones to warm the areas that are most used in the house by guests. On the top floor the bathrooms were painted to match the granite counters there...something that was oddly not the case when we bought the house. The master and guest bedrooms as well as the hallways were given new splashes of color as well. They also painted the exterior of our home. Everything was OUTSTANDING.
