Description of Work: We discovered that Elysium was actually a service that contracted out the work we received. the review we are giving here may not apply at all to someone else who chooses this service. In the future I will try to find painters that actually do the work, not a service that refers out the work.

[removed member name], thank you for posting a review online. I apologize that we do not do the electrical work you requested. As a painting company, we mainly do painting, drywall and light carpentry work. Hope you found a good electrician, and we're happy to provide several suggestions if you like. Have a nice day.

Description of Work: Mr. Landau was polite and respectful. but I found the advertisement to be (deliberately?) misleading. I assumed "whole house painting up to 1600 s.f." meant up to a 1600 sf. house, not 1600 sf of drywall and ceiling. This is just a couple of rooms, not a "whole house." Same with the drywall offer - look before you leap. Thanks for your intervention.

Response from Elysium Painting Company
Hello again, Thank you for taking the time to speak with us several times about your project and to clarify the Big Deal you purchased. I am so sorry it was not a good fit - we would have loved to work with you! The representatives at Angie's List, our Estimator, and our office staff each went over the details of the coupon with you. I'm sorry it wasn't a good fit for your project, but that does not make it misleading. It clearly states "If the paintable area is larger an estimate will be provided. Interior Painting does not include baseboards, ceilings, doors, trims or closets." It's very difficult to guess how large a project is without seeing first and we're glad we got a chance to come look at your project, determine it wasn't a good fit for the coupon, and part as friends. We do wish you the very best for your project - I'm sure it will be beautiful :)

Description of Work: The rain delayed the painting job from starting when promised. No communication from the office was very frustrating. By the time the job was ready to start, what was agreed upon and what the painter was told to pain,t was not the same. The painter did a good job and was professional and the company finally made it right. and the house looks great.

OK.
Description of Work: I would like to give Elysium Painting a very positive review. They did a great job, and the guys were very nice and professional. However, the process of paying Angie's List, and then for the company to get their payment, and then perform the service, adds a significant delay. In our case, we paid for the service in June, and the work was not completed until August. Angie's List needs to really work on this, or they will not get repeat business even if the work done is good quality for a low price.

Response from Elysium Painting Company
Member, thank you for your review and feedback. I apologize for the huge difference between our quote price and your next nearest! 90% of the time, our quotes are within 10% of all other professional estimates. A few reasons there could be a large discrepancy: 1) We carry a very good liability insurance policy for everyone's protection. This and Worker's Compensation do add a small amount onto our project cost, but are pretty essential and may not be reflected in quotes from independent painters. 2) Were the quotes apples to apples? We provided a very thorough 2-coat estimate with an outline of prep work to ensure the job lasts 12+ years. We can write very sparse quotes for less work - often priced at 50-60% below our standard quotes - but found out that most people really rather have a good, thorough job. Sorry if we didn't include a cut-and-dry option on your quote [and sorry if you only got such an option from other painters - especially if they didn't present a thorough painting plan for you to choose!] 3) Our quotes often incorporate labor and materials. Were the other quotes labor only? if so, that could account for a 15-25% difference. We also project using very high grade materials unless requested, and this was brought up with you at the quote. If someone quoted you planning a lower-grade paint and economy products, that could increase the difference to 20-30% on top of other items above. 4) Our quotes usually include a small surcharge for extended 8-10 year warranties, if requested. These can be sectioned off and eliminated, and that option is usually written on the quote and expressed during the estimate. 5) If there was anything else not mentioned above, please let us know and we'll see what we can do to better work within your budget! Thanks again so much for your time, your feedback and the opportunity to work with you, -David Landau Owner, Elysium Painting Company

The whole experience was pleasant and productive. From the time I contacted the company to receiving an email with the last receipts for materials any interactions were cordial and helpful. We took some time between getting a quote and being able to schedule the job, and we received a phone call and an email in between, very polite, with no pressure to schedule. Once the job was scheduled, Chris, who schedules the crews, was diligent about checking in and finding and resolving any of my concerns. While they were working, I found two items that concerned me slightly, and both were resolved rapidly. The crew who came to paint, were kind and careful. They took great care with the prep work, and were just plain helpful. The finished work looks great, the music wasn't loud, and they worked efficiently. They even dealt well with my children when they were around.

Elysium was wonderful and Brian and David were such pleasures to work with. We had MAJOR work to do and they came in with a good price and the most detailed and informative quote I'd ever seen. The work was fast, neat and even though we didn't change too many colors, all the repairs make it look like a new house. I can't wait to have people see it in our X-mas party and would hire them again.

Elysium's crew did a great job on our extensive interior painting job. Chris gave me a fair and detailed estimate, and the final cost came in very close to that number (we ended up adding another room). The careful work on the wooden trim, the special sanding and varnishing work that Craig did on our wooden banisters, and the final, polished look of every room are really top notch. I was also impressed with Chris' conscientious daily check-ins with me and the crew, and with Matt's leadership of the crew on site. The painters got along well with each other, cleaned up after themselves, and were both polite and professional in every way. I will continue to recommend Elysium to friends and neighbors, just as I have since Elysium painted our exterior a few years ago. I was impressed with the exterior job they did for us a few years ago, but this job was far more demanding, and Elysium stepped up to the challenge. Great work ethic and timeliness. No swearing or loud music around the kids. I especially appreciated how--even if a room was only half done at the end of the work day--Elysium's crew cleaned up, vaccumed, and put the room back into usable order. The next day, they'd come right in and put up the dropcloths and move the furniture all over again. This put our convenience over theirs, and was a very thoughtful policy.
Description of Work: Elysium painted most of our home's interior. We have a large home, so the job comprised 11 rooms, 2 stairwells, 3 entries/halls, all ceilings in these areas, some wood finishing in one stairwell, and extensive wooden trim, including all wooden window frames, some chair rails, and banister spindles, bathroom cabinets and four louvred doors. Elysium had 5-6 men on the job most days, with a smaller crew at startup and finish (which made sense). Their work was meticulous and the pace at which they worked quite impressive, without sacrificing quality.

They were very professional. I would suggest you pay close attention to the terms of the contract as there is an extra charge for paying by credit/debit card. The employees are very easy to work with and are very customer-oriented.

Response from Elysium Painting Company
Thank you very much. We appreciated the opportunity to work for you and it was a pleasure painting your house. Per your suggestion and general good customer service practice, we made our payment policy very visible on all parts of our contract for complete 100% transparency. We care to offer as competitive of prices as possible; because of this, when credit card companies charge us fees, we need to implement a policy to cover those as they can add up to quite a bit over the course of a season. To counterbalance this, we have increased our Angie's List member's discount to 10% for accepting our proposal within the first 48 hours; this definitely dwarfs and makes up for it! Have a great day, and thanks again, -David Landau Owner, Elysium Painting Company

Did not have this company do the work.
Description of Work: Requested estimate for painting exterior of house. The gentleman who come out to quote the job was informative and professional. He spent time examining the house and made insightful recommendations as to the work that needed to be done. The Company followed up on the estimate in a profession, non-aggressive manner (which was appreciated.) Unfortunately, Elysium was the most expensive of the three quotes I obtained and I elected to have the work done by another vendor.

When I finally decided to hire someone to paint my house for the first time this year, I was afraid. I really didn?t want painters coming in my house and turning it into a worksite. I am usually the kind of person to do it herself; but I just do not have the time with work, family, and recreation. I decided to call you out of pure luck by receiving this cute little paint bucket on my door. I read the caution label on the paint bucket which read ?caution: contents are purely professional? which made me laugh. Believing that you were a professional company with a sense of humor made me completely comfortable. I called the number on the paint bucket, talked to DeEtta and she was just the sweetest customer service representative, just the sweetest. She answered all my questions, was very patient with me, set me up for a free quote and she seemed very much like a good friend. When the estimator arrived as scheduled on time, I was astonished. I have waited days for the cable guy to come to the house, just to set up box. He was very well mannered took time to explain details of the business as well as materials used. He quoted me for a lot less than I thought it would cost for a professional company, so I booked after reviewing your website and doing a little more research on your business, just because I am paranoid. The crew you sent to the job was great, really easy to get along with. If I had any problems with anything they would immediately get to it to keep me happy; and I admit I am extremely difficult to please. I asked them if they could do the inside job one room at a time and there was no hesitation. I am absolutely pleased with the conduct and the work ethic of your employees, they did a wonderful job painting the exterior and interior of my now beautiful home in Ann Arbor.

We never thought we could get quality and speedy painting services at a reasonable price.

Response from Elysium Painting Company
Dear member, we sincerely regret and apologize for the administrative error that led to us missing your appointment. We did attempt to reschedule but were unable to receive a confirmation. If you did not receive the message, I understand how you would feel as you did. Your time is valuable and we absolutely meant no disrespect. For a short period of time, we were both swamped with work and our administrative assistant was out on leave, and given our 30-40 requests for free quotes each week, we occasionally need to reschedule 1-2, and it seems like you got the luck of the draw. Had we known in advance your timing wasn't as flexible, we would have cleared our schedule before your visit just in case a prior client with a quote right before yours had thorough questions or details to review with us on-site. Thank you for providing your feedback. We do care to honor and respect you and any other potential client, and when we call the morning of a quote to confirm, we will make sure to remember to ask if the client will have to leave immediately after their scheduled estimate time, or if they have several minutes of flexibility. Have a nice day, -David

It is an older wooden home, and needed a fair amount of prep work. Mr. Landau and Elysium sanded and scraped the sides meticulously, filling any gaps with high-end caulk that has held through the summer and winter (my caulk has cracked in the past, causing water damage). There were some rotten pieces of trim. One of the painters on the crew was also a carpenter, and he custom cut and tacked the new bits in without skipping a beat. The painters moved quickly but methodically, and the foreman Chris walked through the project on a daily basis with me (I am a bit of a control freak :) From the color consultation at the start to the clean up at the end, I always felt like I was in control of my project, but also that I didn't need to be, because Elysium was so thorough and intuitive. This really is a wonderful feeling as a home owner. Overall, I couldn't be happier. The communication was awesome and constant, the workers were polite and punctual, and Elysium has followed up periodically since just to make sure I am still happy. Well, I am. Very much so! Cannot recommend enough!

The crew was very professional, nice and moved all my furniture for me before I even had the nerve to ask. I'm really a stickler for cut lines and during the final walk around I was happy to see the walls and trim were painted perfectly, and I couldn't even tell where the wall had been repaired because it blended with everything so well. I'm going to call them back again next summer for the exterior, because lord knows that since it's not the time to sell, you may as well spruce up the house to keep it's value up.
Description of Work: I really wanted to find good painters for our house, because we had a lot of work of various types - wallpaper, drywall, etc. in addition to custom painting. I had heard Elysium's name before and decided to go with their quote, which was very reasonable given the extensive amount of work we needed done.
