Derrick is fantastic. Skilled, professional, courteous, kind, helpful, timely. Derrick painted our whole house and I feel like he treated the job as though it was his own home. Meticulous in his work and professional in his manner. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, nor would I use anyone else for future painting needs. Thanks, Derrick!

This project went great. Peninsula was very professional, respectful and seemed invested in doing the best for my project and helping walk me through my options. I was grateful for their guidance where they actually turned away more expensive options and helped me get results in the most economical manner. I really appreciate the great rapport and found them very trustworthy and I was comfortable with their respect of my home and property. I will definitely hire Peninsula as my "go to" source of home improvements and couldn't give a better recommendation. Thanks Peninsula, my home is looking great behind the work you've done.

We bought the promotional package 'painter for a day' and received Derrick's response the next day. He showed up on time and did an excellent job to paint out 10-feet high library. He covered everything before starting and put all the furniture back after completion. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.

I had just purchased a home and moving into it in a few days. I contacted Derrick from Peninsula Contracting for an estimate. He came out right away. I told him that I needed it done within three days. He showed up two days later on time, he completed the bedroom as promised, and it looks perfect. Derrick was very professional, I felt comfortable leaving him alone to do his job. I have many more projects that need to be done and will not hesitate to use him in the future. Thanks, for helping me out with my tight schedule.

It was fine. On some aspects of it, they were very good. They were very, very flexible in terms of scheduling. There was a disconnect between the day they came out to do the evaluation and when they came to actually do the service. That was largely on me. But, when I called back to schedule the time, they were very flexible and very open. But there was also a disconnect in terms of expectations. When they came out to look at the places, there were no issues or problems or anything that came up. Whereas, when people came out to actually do the work - it was different people than the person who came out to do the estimate - they were like, "Well, it really should have only been this and it really should have only been that." A lot of those kinds of things.

Response from Peninsula Contracting Inc
Hello, After numerous scheduling changes, when the project was ready, I was on another job site that I could not get out of. The reason for the disconnect on your project was due to the fact that you purchased a specific "big deal" program that included only one coat of paint. After painting the one coat my painter contacted me and said that it would need another coat, (some colors are very difficult to cover one coat). He was then directed to put another coat on and not to charge you anything for the extra paint and labor. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We had just done remodeling in our kitchen and needed the walls, ceiling and walls in the great room painted. We had another person that was going to do it but was unable. The paint was already purchased. Derrick Diacono responded immediately to my inquiry on the phone. He came out and gave us an estimate and was able to do the painting right away. Derrick is very personable and professional and did a great job. We would call him again to do painting for us. Lyn Picard

,We needed to have the rooms and ceilings painted right away and Derrick came out immediately. He painted everything and did a great job but somehow was faster than the last painter we used. He was pleasant and neat and put everything away. He was always prompt to show up and return calls, and he confirmed the time he was coming the day before he started. I would recommend Great Lakes Decor to anyone who wants someone who is reliable, efficient and does a good job at a very reasonable rate.
Description of Work: Three rooms were painted along with several 'popcorn' ceilings which we were dreading to paint ourselves because they are harder to paint. This included taking down (and putting back up) a very large wall-hung mirror, taking down brackets for curtain rods (which we left off because we aren't keeping curtains at the windows now), and removing several ceiling plant hooks, together with all the necessary patching and smoothing, including all patching from old picture hangings, shelves etc.

Great Lakes Decor was very prompt in keeping appointments, confirmed the date of service 1 week and 1 day prior to painting. They were very professional and respectful of not damaging any property that was in adjoining rooms not being painted. When reviewing the paint color against the sample provided, I noticed a significant color difference - they returned the paint right away for a correct color blend without any questions. There was a team of two painters and they completed the work within a half-day; very, very happy with the end result. The corners and edges are straight - can tell they are pros at what they do; this wasn't their first attempt at painting interiors! We have talked to Derick about painting additional rooms this winter - highly recommend!

When we moved to MI and year ago Derrick painted our entire home, removed wallpaper, tile work and painted our island. He does amazing work! He is very professional. Great to work with and has great ideas. We were sad to see him leave when the job was done. Thanks to a new puppy we needed wall repairs! Derrick went above and beyond while fixing all the damage. His work is flawless. We enjoy and trust him so much we didn't even get any other estimates for the job. I would 100 % recommend him!

Our overall experience was very positive. Derrick was very responsive in providing the quote and was able to schedule the services earlier than the other companies I had contacted. This was very much appreciated as we wanted to get the painting completed in a small window of time before obtaining possession of our home and moving in. The team was very punctual and the quality of the work was solid.

We solicited bids from three painters and Great Lakes came in equal to the lowest bidder. They were by far the most prompt and thorough in the estimating process. At every step, Derrick or his team showed up exactly when they said they would. The quality of the work was good and they took extra care with our just-refinished hardwood floors. Our late changes were handled in a prompt and professional way.

My experience with Great Lakes Decor was amazing. From the estimate to completion, I could not have been more pleased. Derrick and his team were the ultimate professionals! They were prompt and thorough - and paid extreme attention to detail. They completed the work as promised and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. I had procrastinated getting this painting done, but when all was complete it was a great experience. Great Lakes Decor is a pleasure to work with, and I will absolutely recommend them, and use them myself for all my future painting needs!

Very responsive to our request for service - they came to the house very quickly to provide an estimate. They also accommodated our request to have the services completed in a short timeframe, as we were moving into a new house). The crew arrived promptly and were very courteous and quick - we were moving into the house while they were painting, which was an inconvenience, but they were always polite and very easy to work with. The crew completed the work without any issues and we were very pleased with the services.

Derek was very professional, punctual and easy to work with. After the first day he cleaned up and left the place livable. The second day he finished the job and again cleaned up very professionals. Derek was eager to please and will help you decide color preferences and designs. The quality of Derrick's work was excellent and I would refer him anyone. My place looks wonderful and professional and it only took Derek two days I could not be more pleased. Derek comes highly recommended. Be sure to check out great lakes Decor Incorporated for making future interior painting choices. I was totally satisfied with the price and quality of their work.

Derrick was professional, friendly and provided high-quality work. He painted a lot of trim which takes a lot of detail-oriented skill. It looks great! He also sanded out a window seat and repainted it - it looks brand new now! He was also able to reseal a crack in the drywall and repaint the patch. The former crack is completely fixed and it looks great. We look forward to him painting our exterior!

Derrick was very friendly and professional. He worked within our schedule, and was trustworthy. We hadn't yet moved into our new home and so had to trust him and his team with entry while we were away. I'm pleased to report that they did great work, left the house in great shape, cleaned up very well, and over the span of the days they were there were very patient and courteous. They did an awesome job on the painting, very professional results; clean lines, very thorough coverage, and used our paint colors. Highly recommended.

We had 3 other companies give us estimates on the work and Great Lakes Decor was right in line with the other quotes, the only difference was Derrick gave us his estimate before he left our home. Derrick seemed like an easy going guy and with this being the first time we had hired a professional painter this put us at ease. When we hired Derrick we didn't know what our actual possession date would be of the home, Derrick followed up with us the week it was supposed to happen and was even able to start a day earlier than we thought. Derrick's attention to detail was great, he listened to what I had to say and went above and beyond what our expectations were. Derrick had a guy (Jeff) working with him that was just as pleasant and detail oriented as Derrick. They were both very personable guys that worked diligently to get the job completed earlier than we expected. They always showed up when they said they would and left the house clean when they left. I can't say enough about how happy we were with their services and we will definitely us them again.
Description of Work: We had our vaulted living room painted with two colors, wall paper removed in the dining room and painted, the kitchen painted, bedroom closet painted and bedrooms painted with two colors.

Everything went very good. They are very trustworthy and listened to my requests. I even felt comfortable leaving them here at my house when I went to the eye doctor. When they pulled out my fridge something had come off, so they deducted that off the bill and will be fixed later this week. Derek, the owner, was very patient and he even helped me pick out the colors. They vacuumed when the job was completed. I had no complaints and am ready to use him again.
