39 years of trusted experience
Services we offer
Interior painting. Wall paper removal. Drywall repair. Decks. Power washing.
On the start date, Tara and her team arrived right on time and began quietly working. The job took 2 days total, and they were finished each day by 3pm. They worked quietly and cleaned everything when they were done. They also repainted my accent wall above my fireplace, and the paint was an exact match, additionally, they repainted the trim on my baseboards in my foyer. Tara and her team are wonderful and I am already booking them for my next project. You won't be sorry if you choose this company.
Description of Work: I contacted Tara for an estimate to paint my entryway and my office. Once Tara arrived for the estimate, she offered suggestions to cover the dings on my walls in my office which were stained paneling, think early 80's, late 70's. She suggested a primer and even suggested paint colors. I took estimates from two other companies, but Tara's was the most reasonable, because not only was she going to paint the two areas, but she was going to have shelves filled in where my built-in bookcases were lacking shelves. Two of the shelves had to be completely gutted, because there was space for shelving, but the area was a mess.

We contacted Tara at Speed Pro and left a message to call us about the job. She contacted us on the same day and made arrangements to come to our home the following evening. She arrived when she said that she would and spent sime time with us on color selection. She provided a formal quote the next day. The quote was detailed and included a the scope of work and terms/conditions. We had obtained other quotes and selected Speed Pro based on a very competitive price and overall impression of their professionalism. We worked out a start date that fit our needs. Tara said that the work would take 2 days to complete. On the first day, Tara and two assistants arrived on time and got to work immediately. At the end of the first day they cleaned up the work area before they left. On the second day they arrived on time and again started to work immediately. We had just had our wood floors refinished a week before the painting was to start. In the kitchen we wanted the area behind the refrigerator to be painted and Tara expressed concern over moving the refrigerator out of its recess on the freshly finished floor. I got some 1/4" plywood to protect the floor when the frige was rolled out. they also put a drop cloth under the plywood to make double darn sure that nothing would happen to the floor. I was happy that they knew the risk and the care that they took in moving the frige out and in to complete the painting of the area. At the end of the second day they again cleaned up the work area and used a damp cloth to wipe down the floors in the area that they worked. Overall we were very happy with the workmanship and professionalism that they showed.
Description of Work: The work performed by Speed Pro was interior painting of our living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook, butlers pantry, 2 powder rooms, 2 story foyer, upper hall way, lower hall way, back hall way, laundry room and a stairway. The work also included some minor dry wall patching.

Tara and a crew of three arrived on 9/15 exactly as agreed. They moved the furniture as needed, and covered the areas where they were working. Tara stayed for a couple of hours to ensure everything that was needed was available. the guys worked hard all day long, taking only a short lunch break. By the end of the first day everything including the wall repairs, had the first coat of paint, and the crowns had been cut and installed & their first coat of paint. Again on 9/16 the painters arrived on time and immediately started back to work with the second coat. Crown joints were touched up and the crowns and trim received a second coat. They picked up all their empty paint cans, drop cloths, etc. inspected all floors and furniture, etc for any errant paint drops. After they left we could not tell that they were ever here, except for our freshly painted rooms and new crown mouldings. Only issue we had was the next day after the paint had flashed off and was pretty well dried, we found some areas where the paint was thin. I opened up our email to send Tara a note relative to this issue and when I opened up my email, there was already a note from her that one of her guys had mentioned they thought some of the paint was thin, but it was hard to tell until it dried. There was no hassle, excuses, or sad tales regarding our concern, she just wanted to know if she could fix it on Thursday or Friday of the following week. We agreed on the following Thursday(9/24), and the work was completed to our satisfaction. We appreciate the fact that even though we had some difficult areas to paint and some of it took some acrobatics for access, we did not find any wood floors, floor tiles or carpets with scratches, dents, or paint on them. Were we ripped of on price? Frankly I don't know because I didn't get another estimate. Speed Pro was so highly rated on Angie's List (and I am a first time user) that I didn't follow the rules for hiring contractors. I feel that if I'm satisfied with the work performed and the contractor is satisfied, then neither is being ripped off. Will we use Speed Pro again? You bet we will.
Description of Work: We have a "raised roof ranch" with 9' ceilings, ceiling in foyer is between 20 & 22', great room ceiling is 9' with a three tiered pan up to 16'. 1.Painted great room, foyer, front hallway, main hallway to bedrooms, basement stair walls. 2. Installed crown mouldings in great room. Tara from Speed Pro stopped by to give us an estimate per our request. She was helpful with suggestions on paint colors and the installation of the crowns. We received the estimate via email. Reviewed the estimate, and everything was exactly as we requested, We agreed on spackling the walls, repairing some loose tape where the house had settled, two coats of Sherwin Williams paint, colors tbd a couple days prior to their arrival, clean up after the job was finished. The estimate was in the $1400.00-1500 range. We agreed to the terms in the estimate and Tara scheduled the job for Sept. 15 & 16. This was in late August, but we were not in any hurry to get the job done since we going to be out of town a few days and were also waiting on a furniture order. Timing was excellent for us.

Initially they were good. I believe that they were in a hurry and the painting started to get messy. The paint got on the floor and they also broke a door off of the entertainment center. They chewed up the kitchen floor. They were sloppy. They did not do the molding in the laundry room.

Response from Speed Pro Painting Co
I usually don’t respond to the reports we get on Angie’s List. I value the feedback and pass our customers suggestions on to my crew. But this one has me very confused. What was reported does not coincide with what she wrote to me (in a text message): “it is fabulous thank u no need for walk through i can mail check right now on the way to my dep or leave it on the kitchen counter and u can pick it up tomorrow when convenient for you thanks again i will now give your number to several attorneys at the office” I had no idea she was dissatisfied until I saw this report. To my knowledge nothing was damaged or broken by our crew. It’s been almost three weeks since we finished the job and I have not heard from her, nor had any reason to believe she was anything but satisfied. We encourage our customers to contact us immediately with any issues so they may be addressed promptly.

In the 3 years that have followed we have found many areas where the painted areas were not as good as we originally thought. Shortcuts were taken and we have had to rectify this with other contractors.

The experience was perfect. They did it all in one day. I have over 20 windows and they painted all of them outside. They painted the outside of my doors and cleaned the junk off my roof and gutters. They power washed my house and my deck and they put a coat of stain on my deck. They also painted two ceiling inside. I would call them again. The woman who owns the company is very pleasant. They came exactly when they said they would come. They were very professional and I think the price was fair. Their responsiveness was good. She emailed several times and were right on top of it.

I was happy with their work. The price was very good. The staff were very good. The quality was very good for the amount of time that they took. They finished the job in three and half days. They missed a few things and I think it is more because of we were strained for time. The job was very good.

The work was done on time as promised, the job was good, and she even came back to re-do a part of the drywall repair when the fireplace installer moved the fireplace from the original position at no extra cost. I've used her before; I'll use her again. She's fantastic!

As mentioned earlier, Tara and her crew were very professional. The showed up promptly every morning and in 4 days the completed the job. Her staff took down all the blinds, and doors, painted the home, and then put everything together just the way it was before. Not only was I comforted by the Angie's list reports on Speed Pro painting; but even Tara herself told me that if any of the walls and ceilings needed to be touched up...her and her crew would come out and do the work. Trust me when I say this...finding someone you can trust and feel comfortable with when working on your home is tough. I am happy that I found Speed Pro Painting. They will be my partner for these types of jobs for as long as I'm in Michigan.
Description of Work: I recently purchased a home; and was looking for a professional painting company that I could trust to form a lifelong partnership with. I interviewed many contractors to handle the job of painting the interior of my 3,500 square foot home. Many of the contractors that came out to bid the job talked my ear off trying to sell me their company. I felt like I couldn't really trust these people as we all know many people can't back up what they say. One of the contracters even told me he would give me a discount if I paid him in cash. Enter Tara and her her crew at Speed Pro, not only was Tara very professional and curious, after reading her report card on Angies List, I know she could be trusted. Tara came out and measured my home and gave me an estimate. Her price was very reasonable; but more than anything I felt very comfortable allowing her into my home. We agreed that she would paint nearly 80% of my home (all ceilings (cathedral included), crown molding, all doors, windows, and trim).

It went smoothly without a hitch.What a pleasure to work with real pros like Speed Pro. From our first meeting until completion it all came together very well. The price was very fair and did not exceed the estimate. We would hire them again without hesitation
Description of Work: Speed Pro painted my entire condo.Tara and her crew did an outstanding job, much better than we had expected. The crew arrived on time, worked steadily and efficiently and concluded the job on schedule. When the job was concluded they cleaned up after themselves. Tara was helpful with color selections. We would rate the company as "OUTSTANDING" and would recommend them to any of our friends.

I spent around $2000 on that work. The owner of the company gave us some ideas to go with a particular manufacturer and if we went with them we would get an interior decorator free of charge. The interior decorator was here for a few hours and went over the colors. We went to that company and picked out the paint and they took care the rest.

Tara appreciated our desire to match the existing color and took a sample of that color for an exact match. Tara gave us a prompt estimate, came at the scheduled time (herself and another painter), and finished the work in a timely, professional manner (within one day) . We were pleased with the job.
Description of Work: Speed Pro painted the walls, crown molding, baseboards, and doors in our living room, kitchen, bath, and entry hall, as well as the stairwell stringers, risers, and spindles. They repaired as needed before painting. They applied one coat of semi-gloss to the trim and two coats of latex to the walls.

I found Speed Pro Painting through my son?s recommendation after he utilized their services for pre-move in projects, at his newly purchased home. My bathroom was the second project that Tara and her crew completed for me. The first project added color and personality to a master bedroom and bath. My main bath project (the latest project) produced an amazing transformation thanks to Speed Pro?s various talents and services. My admittedly long neglected main bathroom presented many challenges ranging from wallpaper removal (and underlying ?surprises?) to repairing an improperly prepared ceiling that ?rained? egg shell paint chips onto the floor. My project also needed new cabinet hardware, a new light fixture and new mirrors to produce a more updated look for my tired 60?s space. Tara and her crew took care of them all. My small part was to provide my purchased choices and let them put it all together into a totally different looking room, that still wow?s me when I look at it. Speed Pro?s professionalism, quality and variety of provided services, and attention to detail will keep me calling them for help with my future painting plus, projects.
Description of Work: Strip wall paper, remove residual paste, repair wall damage, prime and paint walls. Strip residual "eggshell" paint on ceiling, repair ceiling damage, skim coat, prime and paint ceiling. Paint woodwork and cabinetry and change out hardware. Remove large plate, mirror from wall (no breakage) and hang 2 framed mirrors. Remove and replace large wall lighting fixture.

They were prompt professional and did a good job overall. I think the job took longer then expected and towards the end they rushed and did not do the same quality of work we had seen the two days before. Tara does a great job responding to emails and the few things they did miss were taken care no questions asked. Clean Up at the end could have been better, but its a minor issue. Excellent value for the work that was completed and we would be comfortable having them back for our next project.
Description of Work: We had several 6 panel doors installed. The foyer, hall, kitchen and upstairs were painted. Additional trim work was completed around the doors as well.

Tara came out to give an estimate and while looking at my colors instantly hit upon what I already was feeling wasn't right with the color selection. She quickly was able to help me solve my dilemma. On the day they were to start, Tara, Bruce and Raul arrived on time and in good spirits. They worked quickly. Corrected touch ups and were finished by around 3:00 or so. Would have liked a little better clean up in the bathroom. Tara had to come back the next day, but was quick, in out, and did great. I will use them again as soon as I am able.
Description of Work: Bedroom and adjoining bathroom painted. Bedroom had red accent wall. Bedroom also had crown molding, window and door trims that were painted, as well as ceiling. Bathroom simply had walls and ceiling painted.

I was extremely happy with the result. I expected the job to take two days, but they were completely done in one day. There is no way I could have done this work myself so the money was very well spent. I can't think of any problems. Tara, the owner, is very nice. Just all around a great experience. Hoping I can hire them again some day to do the master bedroom.

Tara was on vacation when I initially called, but still returned my call the same day. Came out the following week, exactly on time. Did a great job, completely unobtrusive--I hardly knew there was anyone in my house! Cleaned up--even vacuumed! Great experience, great job, great price. Will use again.
