HOUSTON PAINTING LLC

Brian was very responsive to my request for a quote and provided that quote promptly. His quote was very competitive and his reviews were excellent, so we selected his company to prep and paint the exterior of our house and attached garage. During the prep, Brian found several necessary repairs, met with our contractor to point them out, and worked around the contractor's schedule and work crew. Due to his experience, he was able to tell us which repairs were critical to prevent further damage and which were cosmetic. His advise was very helpful and consistent with the advise of our contractor. The completed work is beautiful and should protect our house for years to come. Brian was always responsive to telephone or text messages and was pleasant and professional on site. I would highly recommend him to any friend and would definitely use him again.

Cost for 2 small rooms and 1larger living room was 3000.00. The cost and cheaper paint was too high.

I was very impressed with my first contact with Brian Houston. I posted a message on Angie's List and he promptly called me back. He was friendly and professional. Our house was painted by Brett Hall and his father, Dave. The have worked together with Houston Painting in the past and cover more of southern Maine. Brett was responsive to my emails up until the start date. They showed up promptly on the first day and performed all the work very efficiently and with excellent quality. They were very neat as well. I would not hesitate to use Brett Hall and Houston Painting again. Highly recommended.

Brian was courteous, knowledgeable, direct, and helpful. He reviewed our request and discussed options. We did not end up doing the painting that we were considering at this point, but would call Houston again for future projects.

Brian was prompt, courteous, direct and very helpful. At this point, we are holding off on the specific project we discussed with him but would certainly bring him in again should we need any painting services.

I asked Brian to paint two rooms including preparation of bare trim and correction of minor surface deficiencies in existing drywall. While the contract specified two coats, I am certain Brian did whatever was necessary to ensure a proper appearance, including applying an extra coat of paint where appropriate. I was very satisfied with the quality of the work as well as the communication before, during, and after completion of the project. Brian is in high demand given his well-established business reputation. I recommend booking well in advance of your preferred start date. Liability insurance was verified prior to commencement of work and found appropriate for the trade.

Brian worked with us for about 12 months on scheduling the project as we had significant exterior repairs to porches and trim due to winter damage. He assisted us on paint selection (many different shades) and ultimately we choose a slighly darker shade than was currently on the home. Brian's attention to detail was evident on the finished product. The pallette of Grey is crisp against the bright white trim, and the moldings and bead board ceilings of the porches appear to jump out in detail. Brian was willing to work around repair projects and move on to other areas of the home, while repairs to trim occurred. Some sections of the home were beyond the reach of ladders and Brian rented a Boom Lift to assist with these higher areas. The work took 3-4 weeks, which was a bit longer than some of the quotes we received from larger companies; however, Brian's attention to detail and willingness to work with us on our schedule were welcomed. We would reccomend him to anyone looking for a good value, and great attention to detail.

Brian was always on time if not early. He was great at communicating and was always polite and took the time to explain any questions we had. As with all remodeling projects problems present themselves and when this happened Brian was quick to find a solution that didn't destroy the project price. He set a timeline for the project and stayed within it. All contractors should be so courteous.

Brian was incredibly nice and responsiveness when I first contacted him. Because of unexpected health reasons, a prior contractor backed out of the interior painting job I needed done. I had to find someone very quickly to do the work before 2 tenants moved in. Brian understood the situation, clearly stated he needed to check his schedule before committing, then once he committed (thanks to bad weather he was available as his job was an exterior painting job), he very honestly quoted (knowing I had limited flexibility anyway...so top marks in my view on "Integrity"). The job was done perfectly. on time and on budget. I will call Brian for all my future painting jobs without any hesitation. Thanks again. L

Brian came and was very honest in telling me I didn't really need the job done now and should defer it for a few years. Most places would just give a price and do the work. I appreciate the feedback and advice he provided.

Provider did a fine job of exterior painting about 3-4 years ago.

Brian is the best painting contractor I've worked with. Very attentive to detail. We are extremely pleased with the results. Hard working and diligent. You can't ask for more. Hire this guy or live with something of lower quality.

The care he and Jim took in prepping to paint by covering the floors, taping plastic on things as not to be splattered to moving things we had overlooked. They both were very cognizant of my work schedule and very good with the animals - both dogs and cats. They were personable, professional and trustworthy. They were even interactive with my grandson. Very neat. I just cannot say enough. I would highly recommend Houston Painting. A+ for sure!

Everything good that everyone else has said is absolutely true. He and his staff are meticulous hard workers and very personable. They consider attention to detail to be paramount. There recommendations always turned out to be right on the ball and we were completely satisfied with the work. I will definitely be having them do more work in the future.

I was very disappointed in the company's response that they could not paint a couple bedrooms for several months. I explained that I was preparing to put my house on the market within the next month (this was in June) and I was told they couldn't commit to an interior job until the fall.

If there was an A++ rating, Brian absolutely would get it from me! Brian went above and beyond in every area and I hope he knows how much I appreciate it. Brian took the time to come to my house, meet with me, and provide me with a thorough review and analysis of what needed to be completed; he offered suggestions and guided me in the right direction. He was kind, patient, professional and an absolute pleasure to work wtih. I will work with him again as soon as I'm ready to move on to the next room. Without Brian's assistance, I would STILL be trying to pick paint colors and have made absolutely no progress. Brian stayed in touch throughout the decision making and painting process and his response time was better than any vendor I've ever worked with. I was hesitant to let another vendor into my home after an extrememly negative experience with a heating and furnace installer; Brian has restored my faith!! He treated my home and its' contents with the utmost respect. He also was very aware of and made friends with our bossy kitty; it was critical that the cat not get outside and Brian and team made sure the cat was tended to, cared for and safe while they were here. I believe this was above and beyond what they needed to do and speaks volumes about the type of business Brian operates. Oh - did I mention how amazing the actual paint job is?! The walls are beautiful and Brian's suggestion to carry the same color through both rooms was spot on - I love, love, love the work he and his team did. Brian was meticulous with clean up; when I came home - it was like being in a new house, it looks completely different and absolutely wonderful.Thank you Brian and team once again; looking forward to working with you in the future!

I chose Brian based on Angie's List reviews! Everything everyone says is TRUE. My home was left in immaculate condition. NO cigarette butts, no beer cans, care around my flower beds etc. This was the best work we've ever had done on our home's exterior. The time and care that Brian and his crew took were amazing. This project was started very late in the season as we only contacted Brian for an estimate in late July and, as you might expect, he was booked for most of the 'season'. The project took slightly longer than expected given the late start, and the fact that weather is ALWAYS a factor with exterior painting and beyond anyone's control. Regardless, Brian ALWAYS stayed in touch via email or text to let us know his plans. and completed most of the project (we actually ADDED things to the scope of the project that could not be done before the bad weather hit) and he will return in the spring to complete these added items for us. If you are looking for a "cheap" painting job, this company is NOT for you. Brian charged what I consider to be a fair rate for the extent of the job (very large home) and the attention to detail in the workmanship that he provided. A man is entitled to be paid a fair days wage for a fairs day work, so this is not the cheapest company you can find, but in my opinion it is the BEST, and sometimes you DO get what you pay for. I think what sums up our overall experience best is that we are planning to develop a long-term relationship with Brian and the carpenter he introduced us to, to help us "MAINTAIN" the house's exterior and also attend to the interior in the near future.

Brian is experienced and very knowledgeable, excellent communication, on time when promised. He is a pleasure to work with.

Brian is very organized and very professional. He and his team were punctual and very, very neat.

Overall I am very pleased with the services provided.

Brian was very thorough and was timely. He was neat and available for the small extras that occur inevitably on jobs like these. He prepared and painted all of the interior of a 3200 square-foot home. Excellent job. Very thorough and painstaking.

It was the best painting company we have ever hired. Brian and his employees were so great to work with and the level of their work was the best! Honest, reliable, professional, top quality workmanship and wonderful to work with. I would use Brian Houston's painting company again without hesitation and gladly referred him to all I know.

We bought a house two hours from where we live. He came and met with the real estate agent and provided us with a great estimate. He is unbelievably great. We are going to hire him for the work.

We can depend of Houston Painting to do a quality job. They are neat, (no cleaning up after them when they leave), always use drop cloths, take down all the hardware (no painting around items). They are respectful of our home and of us. When they finished on the 2011 project of painting a bedroom and a bath, even helped me restore the furniture to their proper places. If there is any minor damage to the walls, they will ask if I want it repaired and then will do the work flawlessly. They arrive to do the work when they say they will. And will also let you know if there is a change in their schedule. I have recommend Houston Painting to my friends who have been equally satisfied with their work.

I had a good interaction with this contractor and was disappointed that our remote location took them out of the bidding.
