Description of Work: Repaired and painted living room ceiling. Mudded and primed it and lots of nail holes and dings on the walls. Painted walls and trim. Some of our trim was really abysmal, but looks very nice now! |As luck would have it, the particular painter who did the job had great Karma with our fear-reactive dog; she hardly barked at him at all! Should we need more painting done in the future, I will certainly be asking for Scott again! |Since we didn't get any other estimates, I can't make a valid comparison. But the cost seemed what I suspected it might be.

Description of Work: Ultimately the job was completed satisfactorily. Their was some confusion because the work was done by painters who worked for a subcontractor. When the painters finished, the front steps and deck were not painted. After I called to ask, the painters were sent back to my house to do those two areas. The subcontractor was very professional and apologized for the confusion.

Description of Work: They painted my house and deck and did some light carpentry in the process. They were extremely easy to work with. Very accommodating. I would call them again for any such work. They helped me out with some suggestions for economical fixes for various little carpentry problems that they fixed up. When there was a misunderstanding (failure to communicate) about whether one item had been included in the contract, they did it my way, no arguments. The neighbors complimented them on the neat job they did. I hate to have to give them a B on professionalism instead of an A, but there was one thing that surprised me. One day I came home and found them painting over flaking old paint on my garage door, without ever scraping it first. The old paint was literally falling off in big loose chunks and they were just sloshing the new paint over it. I couldn't believe my eyes. I asked them to please scrape the old paint off first, before painting, and they agreed immediately and did so and did a good job, even though they had already painted a considerable area. Anybody who knows anything would never paint over giant, loose, curling old paint flakes. I still can't figure it out. If it weren't for that incident I would say these guys are beyond reproach. But I would still call on them again because they were nice to work with. I didn't state the price they charged me in this report, because I'm not sure I recall it--this was two years ago. But it was very reasonable. I hesitated to write the review until now because I didn't know what to say about the flaky paint incident.

Response from Clarke Painting, Inc.
Hi [removed members name]r, I believe there must be some confusion. Clarke painting did not perform any work at your home. I have researched your property and found that you have vinyl siding on the exterior of your condo building. Why would you be requesting an exterior painting estimate to paint the vinyl siding on the exterior of your building. I am not sure the other unit owners in your building would appreciate it if you painted the vinyl siding.

Description of Work: Both Scott (estimate) and Marc (project manager) were a pleasure to work with. They are professional and accomodating- we are using a goverment loan with strict and somewhat over the top requirements, but Clarke was able to meet our needs quickly and from what i can tell (1 month later) delivered a great product. Great local company with great customer service you dont always see these days.

They showed up on time and carefully performed the work required. They took care in removing the trim on the floor as well as working with the improperly installed removal of some carpet. The whole team worked efficiently. They cleaned up well, which is a new experience for me! They were courteous and professional. It is obvious by the quality of their work that they take pride in what they do.

The final results are terrific. One of their painters was inexperienced and created some problems with overlap lines, stain all over a window, etc., but the owners, Scott and Kurt Smith, came several times very willingly to check the quality of the job, and did absolutely everything I asked them to do. The end result was a beautiful, smooth finish. I am very pleased with it. The cost was below four other contractors' estimates.
Description of Work: The crew bleached badly mildewed clapboards on our house and barn; rinsed the buildings; applied two coats of opaque stain to everything; scraped and washed windows.

My experience working with the Clarke painting company was a total pleasure. They were prompt reliable and friendly. Workmanship was top quality and I highly recommend them as the best painting service you will find. I would definitely use them again. They went beyond the call of duty. They were absolutely great! They left everything immaculate. They communicate well, are very meticulous and work to please their customers.

I found Clarke Painting through Angie's List. It's proposal was competitive with two other local painting contractors that I found outside of Angie's List. I selected Clarke Painting because I was impressed with the way it prepared surfaces prior to painting them. I also liked the positive reviews that I got from previous customers, both on Angie's List and from references provided by the contractor. Kurt Smith did a great job of coordinating everything and responded quickly to my emails and phone calls. Katie Sibley ably led her painting crew to complete the job. The house looks great! I've also gotten nothing but compliments from my neighbors! Considering all of the unforeseen circumstances that Clarke Painting encountered, especially the frequent rainy weather, Clarke Painting can be proud of the fantastic job that they did! They also responded whenever I had any concerns and quickly fixed them.
Description of Work: Clarke Painting prepared and painted the exterior of my 1840 Greek Revival wood clapboard sided home and detached garage. The prep work included hand scraping loose paint, feather sanding edges, and lightly sanding bare wood. An alkyd-based Benjamin Moore primer was used on all bare wood to seal, protect, and provide a "bite" for the finish coat. Then two coats of Benjamin Moore's Moorcraft Super Spec premium latex exterior paint were applied. Additional coats were added in select areas where needed to cover the original paint color. They replaced 8 vinyl decorative shutters with new cedar wood shutters and hardware to match the rest of my home's shutters. My deck and railings were power-washed and sanded, with the deck receiving an opaque colored deck stain and the rest getting a clear-coat sealer. The contractor also performed some minor carpentry work, replaced rotten wood, and fixed broken window panes. I also negotiated 1 pre-priced change order for some additional desired work.

This job was performed in an outstanding manner from start to finish! I had called five companies for estimates and Clark Painting got back to me immediately. An appointment was made for an estimate and Scott showed up exactly when he said he would. I had a complete estimate within 3 days as well as references. After checking references and comparing costs I awarded the job to Clarke. They began the job exactly when they said they would! The crew was professional and courteous. Their attention to detail was outstanding, I was extremely impressed with the amount of prep work that was done to make sure all surfaces were properly sanded and caulked before the painting was done. Each day they cleaned up before they left and I was kept informed of the work being done and what they would be doing the next day. At the completion of the job Scott did a walk through to insure everything was done as promised. I couldn't have been more satisfied and would recommend Clarke to anyone!

The painters were quick. Worked around our families schedule and were dilligent. They responded quickly to any suggestions we had throughout the time they were at our house.
Description of Work: Clarke painting offered us a quick estimate. They painted our kitchen, a half bath and bedroom. In the kitchen they repaired a crack in the ceiling. They finished the work in a timely manner and were slightly below their initial estimate.
