Elysium Painting Company

The entire experience was efficient and professional. The project manager that did the estimate was very willing to work around a busy fall work schedule to come out when it worked best for me. The estimate I received from him was very detailed and clear, and I felt the price was very reasonable for the work they were to perform. They were able to fit my project into their busy schedule before the weather got too cold to be able to have it done. The painters that came to my home to do the work were very quality conscious and were incredibly neat and tidy as they went along. Not a speck of paint dripped anywhere and each day everything was completely cleaned up as if they had not been there. When the job was complete, I was very happy with the results. To make things even better, they provided me with a guarantee for the work they did and followed up with a quality survey to make sure I was happy with the work performed and the customer service I received. I am absolutely thrilled with the entire experience and so glad I used them. I will definitely use them again when i decide to do the interior of my home.

me excuse why First call had to leave a message for them to call me back. Received a prompt call back and scheduled an appointment to have an estimate on painting the exterior trim on my house. When the rep showed up he walked around the the house and inspected the current paint and explained the need for power washing and estimated it would take 3 gallons of stain to cover the trim and provided me an estimate on the labor. After talking to some friends who had used their services in the past I chose this painter even though they were a little more expensive on the labor. I was able to negotiate a price that was acceptable based on the initial estimate. The day came for them to start the work and only one person showed up and he was 5 hours late. He completed the power washing on his own and said he would be back in two days. Two days later he came back he was 6 hours late and did not have a crew with him, After 15 minutes he told me his sprayer was broke and he needed to go get a part. so he left all of his equipment in the drive way fro 3 hours while he went to get the part. Three hours later he returns with out the part and says we would be back tomorrow. The next day there was a chance of rain so they did not show up. It took a week before anybody came back to work on my house. I was told repeatedly that the crew was busy on other jobs but I was the top priority. Eventually they return and the leader of the crew said he would paint my gutters for free because of all the hassles. When they finally started to painting they gave me some excuse why they couldn't paint my gutters. By this tim eI had moved out of the house and across the country. 3 weeks after starting a 3 day project they finally finished. At this time I receive a phone call starting the bill would be $1000 higher than the estimate and they used 7 gallons of paint. more than twice what the estimate called for. I repeatedly requested an itimized bill and never received one. Since they had my credit card on file from the deposit they went ahead and charged me the balance. I would never use this company again.

This company is TOP notch! You will not be disappointed with their work! Chris, the project manager, was friendly, helpful, and punctual....so were the painters. The painters used extreme caution in protecting my furniture and carpet from paint drips or dirt. My house looks brand new on the inside! They even went as far as to change a light bulb for me in my cathedral ceilings while they had their ladder out....WOW! I trust this company so much that I even let them in my house (after staying home one day) to do the work while I was a work. They communicated with me the entire time and even called me at work to let me know when they were done and that they were locking up. And if that doesnt impress you...they even fell in love with my dog and was willing to let him out of his kennel while they were there!!!!

I got my free estimate the day after I called and work started 2 days after that. My husband and I couldn't agree on colors so I went with our Project Manager Terry's recommendation and I love the homey cream with lavender/gray undertones we picked. It's hard to describe but it looks great! All of the work including the floor refinishing only took 2.5 days. During the couple of days the painters were in my house they kept all of their materials neatly put away at the end of each day so I wasn't living in a disaster area. Everyone was helpful and polite. I was charged exactly what I was initially quoted for labor and slightly less than I was quoted for paint and stain, which was a nice surprise. I recommended Terry and Elysium to my boss for his house - that's how much I like them!

Chris from Elysium responded immediately when I called for a quote. He came to my home personally, and we reviewed the work together. I was given a written quote that included per man hour charges. Chris explained that the hours for wallpaper removal & prep work depended on the ease of removing the wallpaper. He could only give me an estimate on that phase of the work. Some of the paper turned out to be very difficult to remove, other paper in the bedroom was removed more easily. His estimate came out very close to the final invoice. Elysium workers were prompt, considerate, friendly & professional. Work was completed in a most timely manner and is well done.

Elysium's estimator showed up on time (unlike the other estimator I had out) and I got a nice reminder email before the appointment as well. Elysium's quote was a little more than the other one I got but it was also a lot more thorough. The other company hemmed and hawed about getting references to me but Elysium sent me an email with hundreds of references right away. I called 5 people at random and talked to 3 of them, and they all had great things to say so I hired Elysium. They took a deposit and got started working the next day. The workmen showed up on time every day and worked diligently. They were surprisingly quiet and always polite. The estimator Pat told me the work would take about 3 days and that's exactly how long it took. The estimate was for $2300 - $2450 depending on materials and my final bill was for $2330. The house looks great and I will definitely recommend them to friends and use them if I ever get around to having my exterior done.

Their price was in the ballpark. I had one that was very low and another that was very high; they were in the middle.

The process to paint our home, including the other work, was quite fast. We called Elysium on Thursday morning, Chris Daly came out on Friday afternoon and they started the project on the following Monday morning! Chris and his crew arrived at 9am and did a walk through with my wife. Being that she was not home during the initial estimate, he wanted to ensure that she was aware of his plan of action and answer any questions she had. She had requests of where to start, as we would be living there during the process and they were more than happy to oblige our requests. Chris' crew included three very professional painters, Matt, Eric and Hank and his carpenter Dave. They worked together quite well and were very fast. Before the end of each day, Eric did a walk through with my wife to show her their progress and to let her know what to expect the following day. She couldn't wait until I got home each evening, to show me all they had accomplished. I think she quite enjoyed doing a second walk through with me, as she felt very involved with the process. While Dave was wrapping up the carpentry work, the painters got started in other rooms to make for a quick and efficient approach to our project. Hank and Eric worked on drywall in one room, while Matt removed wall paper in another. Because drywall mud needs time to dry, the guys worked in a few different rooms at a time to ensure that we could get our project completed quickly. We did have one room that we wanted a faux finish in and Chris was very patient with my wife's 'vision' of sorts and came up with a finish that we both enjoy! I was able to stop in on my lunch break to see Chris engulfed in the faux process, while the other guys were steady at work, this is one crew that really enjoys and takes pride in what they do! Overall, the project went better than we had expected. Not only was Chris and his crew very helpful, professional and knowledgeable, but my wife and I feel more knowledgeable about our newly remodeled/painted home as well. We felt like our questions and opinions of our home mattered and that makes all the difference! After living with 'builder's paint' for so many years, we regret that we had not discovered Elysium sooner.

After reading the excellent reviews on this site, we contacted Dave, the owner of Elysium Painting who sent a project manager, Randy, who was actually a painting subcontractor who met with my husband and gave what we felt was a fair estimate for the work. Randy told my husband that he would match and purchase the paint we wanted and that the work would take 6 days. My husband put down a 50% deposit, and I arranged to take vacation to be home while they did the work. The day before the work was to start, Randy called to tell us that he and his crew (sub-sub contractors) would not be able to start until a day later than expected because of the need to complete another job. On the revised day that they were to start the work, Randy called me and asked if we had purchased the paint and had it at home. I reminded him that he had told us he would get the paint. He told me that his workers would be there shortly and that he would bring the paint so they could get started. The workers (Dennis and Terry) arrived and were absolutely pleasant and professional. They said that they would do the prep for the first two rooms (our master bedroom and bath) and would have both rooms painted that day so we would be able to use the rooms the following day. Except Randy never showed up with the paint. After waiting a couple of hours for Randy, Dennis and Terry left. An hour later they called to ask if they could come back since they had one small can of paint. They returned and painted the bathroom (white) and left. Unfortunately, the remainder of the job continued exactly as it began, Dennis and Terry would come early and leave mid afternoon, telling me that Randy would not permit them to work longer than an 8 hour day. For Randy's part, he kept calling saying he was tied up on another job, and would come shortly...and then not show up. On the third day of painting, the bedroom and bathroom were still not finished. Randy finally arrived and we discussed some minor changes in the plan: we did not want him to paint two (small) rooms that were included in the original estimate, but would have him paint the woodwork, window frame, and door in the master bedroom. Randy left and came back later that afternoon stating that he had talked it over with Dave, and that Dave stated that they would not charge me any more for painting the woodwork than the original estimate, provided I paid him in full for the job immediately so that Randy could pay Dennis and Terry for their work that week. Reluctantly, I did so. The next day (Friday), Dennis and Terry arrived and told us that they had a family emergency and would not be able to stay, but that Randy would be coming to finish the painting in the master bedroom (5 days after it was originally promised) so we could move back into it. Randy never came, but called to tell us that he would be coming at 7:30 AM Saturday and would be personally working the entire weekend to finish the job. On Saturday, he called us at 9 AM to tell us he would be at the house at 11 AM. Then called back to say he would be coming at 2 PM. Later that afternoon, he called to say he wasn't coming at all because he was finishing an outdoor carpentry job for Elysium on another site, but would come on Sunday at 9 AM. At approximately noon on Sunday, Randy called to say he would not be coming at all because he was finishing the other project. My husband clearly expressed his displeasure to Randy, especially since Randy had been paid in full 3 days earlier, and no work had been done since. Later that evening, Dennis called to ask if we were displeased with his and Terry's work, because Randy had told him that we did not want either him or Terry at the house again. None of which was true. My husband told him that we, indeed, wanted him and Terry to come and get the work completely done, because my daughter was arriving home from school in 2 days. On Monday, Dennis and Terry came and continued to work, telling us that Randy had not paid them for a prior job or the job on our house. Dennis told us that he had approached Dave about the unprofessional behavior by Randy and that Dave refused to listen to him. My husband called Dave directly and explained the entire mess. Dave told him that he had never asked to be paid in full in the middle of the job and that this was not the policy of the company. Dave also told my husband that nothing that Randy had told us was true: there was no carpentry job on another site that Randy was working on for Elysium, that he had never restricted the crew to only 8 hour days, and that he had never instructed Randy to withhold pay from Dennis and Terry. He told my husband that he would never have Randy work on another job for him again, and that he would instruct Dennis and Terry to stay working as long as necessary to get the work completed by the day my daughter got home. Dennis and Terry worked hard and did a good job on the painting, finally finishing the master bedroom the day after my daughter arrived home (Randy had not completed painting the trim before that), 7 days after originally promised. So, although the work was finished 4 days later than promised, Dennis and Terry did a good job and acted professionally throughout. Unfortunately, our home turned into Painters' Peyton Place with considerable inconvenience and not much truth or reliabilty from Randy, the subcontractor project manager. One would have thought that, with such a brouhaha, Dave might have come to our house (the job site) to make sure that the work was done to our satisfaction, but we never saw him. However, a week later we did receive a handwritten card signed by Dave telling us "how much Randy and his crew enjoyed working with you" and that "they look forward to working with you again in the future." Hello? Not on your life. There's enough drama in the world without Painters' Peyton Place. I guess the thing to remember is that your work is not going to be done by employees of Elysium Painting, but rather by subcontractors who are poorly supervised by the owner. If I had known about the hassles that would ensue, I would have hired Dennis and Terry directly without going through Elysium. I suspect that this is what we will do in the future.

I thought that they were very good. They are a premium outfit.

The team did a fantastic job. The time between the first call and receiving a site visit for an estimate was timely and professional. Follow up from the team was excellent as well. Erik and Hank showed up on time, were very polite and professional, took the extra care that those who care about quality exhibit. They made sure at the end of each day that the area they were working in was cleaned and back to being functional for me. I had a few light fixtures to change out and they fit these small additional tasks into the day. I had the work completed in three stages and after the first stage, Erik and Hank suggested a paint type change which ended up saving me money as well as improving the quality and look of the paint on the walls. Likewise, they made sure I selected the proper paint for the bathroom ceilings and walls. I ordered the paint at Sherwin-Wiliams and they picked it up. I have already recommended Elysium, and Chris (Project Manager) and Erik and Hank to a friend. I did seek out three separate quotes prior to deciding to use Elysium. The price was in line with other quotes, meaning lower than one and slightly higher than one. I appreciated the thorough estimate Chris provided, the follow up from office staff at Elysium, the hand written thank you note from the owner, and the other small touches that distinguish owners and employees who care about their customers, their work, and their business reputation.

I spoke with the receptionist first, who gave me a good level of detail on Elysium's operating practices and how they quoted out projects. She sent a project manager (Pat) out to see the house and provide a detailed estimate. Pat was very professional and personable, we felt very confident that Elysium would do a quality job. Along the way, we received timely and professional confirmation notes and follow up. When we let them know that we would be going with another company, they were understanding and courteous.

Very professional, punctual. Kept all appointments on time and work was begun and finished in a more than timely manner. Two man crew was courteous and all about their business. Just an overall great experience from the estimator Pat, to the project manager Ken who kept me informed every steo of the way, and finally the owner David who sent a hand written thank you card. The work was excellent and I plan to call them when I'm ready to have our interior done.

I found them on Angie’s List. They were great. They provided excellent customer service. They did a fine job. They also called me and let me know what was going on. They were competitive. They were a little pricier, but they were the only company to provide a warranty. I spent $2,000 on the job. I would use them again in the future.

I was a professional painter for 40 years and am now retired. You can imagine how picky I am about finding the perfect painter to paint our siding and trim outside! He got 5 estimates and finally picked Elysium after calling a dozen or so references. The crew that did our job was always on time and polite, and did the work up to my and my wife's high standards! If I was still running a company I would hire them and feel comfortable standing by their work. Highly recommended. Best parts of our experience with Elysium: -Clean crew, proactive in making sure there weren't drips and even went over and above cleaning most of the house when they were done. Totally not necessary and saved us $200. They said it was a surprise courtesy service and I was very impressed. -Project manager was very knowledgeable about best products to use. -Work started and completed on schedule. First time ever for us hiring a contractor! -Thorough quote; everything was in writing and easy to follow. -They let us keep the remaining paint after the project was done, which is awesome. -Stayed until 7:30pm one night upon our request when we thought we'd have to leave town early for a family situation. We ended up sticking around, but their willingness to go over and above to accommodate us was unexpected and very much appreciated. -We received extra calls during the project to make sure we were happy and everything was going smoothly. Suffice to say, we were very happy and have already referred them to friends.

We bought a beautiful historic home in Burns Park 8 months ago and planned to redo the interior ourselves. We thought with start with something easy like removing the wallpaper - NOT EASY! Once we started pulling at it, we realized there were several layers of wallpaper with layers of paint between and once we got to the bottom layer, chunks of the drywall started coming off - or at least we thought it was drywall. Soon we learned it was plaster. There was dust everywhere and we were scared to continue once chunks of wall started flying. We called 2 companies for estimates. Chris at Elysium really took the time to explain what exactly needed to be done and why and called the next day after we had time to think about it to see if we had any questions. 2 days later we got a hand written thank you card from the owner for letting them give us an estimate! After doing some research online (including Angie's List) we decided to go with Elysium.They just finished yesterday - it was amazing! What took Cory and I a week literally only took them a day to accomplish. All the painters were professional and polite. I work from home and they were SO QUIET I couldn't even hear them upstairs. The walls are now smooth as new construction and ready for my Halloween party way ahead of schedule! I wish I had taken before and after pics.

Overall, I am happy with the work, and will consider using this company again. Had some quality issues with the primary crew that did the work. Based upon the way the issues were handled I expect this is not a common occurence. After the job "foreman" looked over the work, heard our thoughts / complaints, another painter was out and spend an entire day making everything right. In the end, we are happy with the final result.

They were very responsive and enthusiastic about giving comprehensive estimates and they followed up w/a thank you note. The painting estimate was complete, but after I hired them, they decided not to do the glazing on the windows that had been quoted, b/c they said it would not be cost-effective to purchase the glazing material. They also gave an estimate to cover my porch ceiling with beadboard, which was to be stained. The project manager took the ball and ran with it, and I came home to find something that was not what I had described or anticipated. He was responsive when I called him, but told me repeatedly what they had done looked good and I would like it when it was done. It would have cost some more money to have them reconfigure it to what I expected (if they could even do it), so I elected to hire someone else to do that. The overly optimistic interest in the woodworking and staining job was an unanticipated detour, which I will have to pay for twice. I would recommend then for painting, but tread carefully if you decide to roll other things into the job like the carpentry mentioned above.

The crew in my house was excellent and overall did a fantastic job! I was very impressed by their cleanliness and the efficiency. They also did a great job keeping in contact with me throughout our project and even called afterward to make sure everything went well!

During an extensive "walk around" and on-site calculation of cost, I was delighted to receive candid commentary by the estimator, i.e., "The paint is not flaking; seems to holding up quite well. Are you just tired of the color?" However, the bid itself was problematic: for my 800 Sq.ft. single story, aluminum sided house (alone) the cost was slightly over $2,000. However, it did not include the cost of "materials". There were, therefore, variable costs inherent and unknown materials that I could have been responsible for via "invoice on the last day of the project". The "labor-bid-only" was for caulking, power wash, and leaving the window trim as is...white. Proposed 2-coats, 2-color scheme.

.The quote is for $1000. They consistently followed through. They always called me back or they just called me to see where I was at. They even send me a hand written thank you card for proposing to do business with them. That was very nice I thought. He was very thorough about the job. He repeated things that I wanted done to make sure that he knew exactly what was going to happen in this house so that there were no misunderstandings. He was very friendly and very professional. He even took the time to go out and take pictures where I wanted the roof fixed. So that he could show his roofer and I could get a quote for that. I am now waiting on that now.

They were absolutely excellent and I would have them do work again. They were very knowledgable and attentive to what we wanted. They were easy to work with, and worked quickly and effectively.

I called them when we were ready to do our outside trim two years ago. My wife's an artist and really picky about color and they were very patient with her so I called them again this year to do the entire inside of our home, including removing the hideous wallpaper my wife installed herself last fall. We had a different group of painters come out this year and they were just as patient and detailed as the last crew. Our house looks great, it was done quicker than I thought possible, and even my wife is happy! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE CHRIS!

Very well. They were punctual. Did a very professional job. They were effiecient and did a very professional job in a short time. Were very creative in solving the problem of the drainage of windows (2 years ago) and it still works perfectly. Cleaned up after the work was done. I have recommended this company to my clients (I am a Real Estate Agent) and all my clients have been very satisfied as well.

From start to beginning my experience was absolutely wonderful. Elysium has a amazing customer service that rivals many competitors in the area. It's because of this, and their work ethic, that made me consider and eventually hire them to do my home. On the job they were extremely considerate and respectful, and they did the job exactly to my wishes and standards. It's this professionalism that I appreciated the most and why I advise all in the local area, who want a phenomenal painting job done, to contact Elysium right away. Their painting is of the highest quality and caliber. On my next painting project I know who I am going to go to first. :)
