WOW 1 DAY PAINTING - MINNEAPOLIS

We unfortunately didn’t have a good experience with Wow. We selected a matte sheen for our interior and they used velvet, didn’t repair nail pops, & used a long nap roller, leaving an orange peel texture on our previously smooth walls. We had some areas needing sanding which were not properly done. To be fair, when we raised concerns, they returned promptly & did a nice job fixing the exterior. They applied 1 coat of matte to the interior, again using long rather than short nap roller we requested. 1 coat didn’t fully cover the shine and orange peel remained. My husband preferred to attempt a fix ourselves rather than having them return again, so we told them it was better. We told them we applied a 2nd matte coat with a short nap roller to further reduce shine and smooth the walls. They did not acknowledge this or offer any rectification. We paid $2400 for our interior, applied 2nd coat ourselves, and are stuck either living with orange peel or paying another company to fix it.

Customer service was good. They came back promptly after payment to correct an issue.

Came three times. Paid but still not done correctly and I don’t feel they really cared much about getting it done to my satisfaction just to their satisfaction.

I cannot comment on the work provided by Wow1 as I chose another reputable painting group who bid my job at a third the price. A third the price!! The other group had excellent reviews as well. So, Wow is very costly.

Jessica and her team were very efficient, professional and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

Everything was high quality and professional. I was kept informed, any special requests were covered, and the paint looks wonderful. It was a messy set of walls and they made it look great, cleaned up, and were very pleasant to work with. I will definitely use WOW again.

WOW did a fantastic job in transforming our newly purchased home. It was a big job and we’re very pleased with how everything has turned out.

The Good Initial Consult - I got quotes from Wow1day and 2 other painting companies. By far they had the most detailed initial consult.They took measurements of every room, were engaged and asking questions and were super responsive during the whole process. Price - They have competitive and fair pricing. They also had the most detailed price quote which broke down the cost in a very clear and transparent way which made it super helpful but also made us feel confident that the cost of the project would stay consistent with the initial quote which it did. Project and timeline - Overall they did a great professional job on the project. They clearly communicated the project timeline which was 4 days. They started & finished the project on time. They did a nice job of prepping the house and a fair job of cleanup as much as possible. During the project they were very communicative, they had us come check out any issues, some of our walls were dark grey that they were painting white, two coats weren’t enough so the had us come in, check it out and give authorization for additional coats of paint.They did miss one small area and had a few minor areas they needed to go over but that was to be expected for a project of this size. After the project was done, the following week their manger came back to inspect the work and make any repairs which was really great. The not so good that ended up great! - We experienced a pretty major snag with the project but Wow1day demonstrated integrity by fixing the issue for us free of charge. We chose Benjamin Moore colors for all our walls which WOW1day matched to Sherwin Williams. Unfortunately, one of the colors we choose didn’t look like the Benjamin paint color we had exhaustively swatched and picked out. The other areas that were matched with Sherwin Williams looked close enough but this particular paint had a green undertone which was very unattractive. This was a pretty large area of the house so we were concerned with the rework and associated charges but owner Mike stepped in and ensured that the walls were repainted with Benjamin Moore Paint free of charge. The way they handled this was ethical, professional and courteous and we really appreciated it. I would definitely work with them again and recommend them to friends and family. Lessons if you are looking to hire for a big painting project: When working with contractors such as Wow1Day make sure you swatch the right brand because there is a difference between the brands, it’s subtle in most cases but in our case the undertone really ruined the color for us and had to be repainted. Or if you really want a certain brand specify it in the contract. Ultimately though, we love the finished project and are super happy with the work, our house feels refreshed and new right in time for spring.

Awesome to work with, friendly, respectful, neat and timely. Will pass on their contact information to friends and family!

The WOW crew was great. They estimated my project virtually and were easy to schedule time with. The team was professional, detail oriented, and left my home clean after the project. I would hire WOW again.

WOW Painters were fantastic. Job was completed on time and on budget. Painters were professional, friendly and hard working. We would absolutely use WOW again in the future.

We booked with Wow One Day painting because they told us that they could get our house painted before our movers came; we had a short time between closing and moving. Even though it was $4,600 which seemed a bit high we booked. I think they lost us because I called to confirm thinking it was weird that they hadn't. I spoke with someone named "Lee" who said that the schedule was busier than expected and they had to push it out a day. I was annoyed but at that point didn't have time to call someone else. Well, the next day they called to push out another 2 days. In fact when Lee called me to push it out he said "The lady who I had to reschedule to make room for you was fine about it but her husband was mean to me." I guess he didn't expect me to be "mean" as a female. I don't know. In any case I was livid and told him that so they agreed to come with a small crew but said it would likely take 2 days. That next day we showed up early to the new house to let their small crew in. They were no shows/ no call that day. When we called they tried to push it out another day saying they hadn't been able to get a crew together. I fired them at this point. I have told our realtor about this experience and plan to share it to all home improvement sites I can find. If they didn't have enough painters they should not have accepted the job which would have given me the opportunity to call other people; instead they took on a job they couldn't finish and I lost my opportunity to shop around. Now I am stuck with a house full of furniture and an 18 month old to finagle while getting the house painted. Not only was their handling of this unprofessional it was inconsiderate. Stay far away from Wow 1 Day if you are in a crunch and I would say at all given this shady practice of accepting work they cannot complete.

The guys did an amazing job. The only part of this whole updating that went well! Hardworkers, very polite, extremely talented. Very affordable. Love the results.

The paint crew was on time and very efficient. They did a great job cleaned up nicely. Very personable individuals. Definitely would use again.

Hired Wow to paint the basement and they did it all in one day. Not only were they friendly and respectful guys the work they did was great. We will definitely hire them again.

I was very happy with the work the WOW crew did in my kitchen recently. The process of repainting the cabinets was explained to me, and everything went off exactly as planned. The crew arrived on time, went about their work efficiently, and were helpful and polite in answering my questions. I will definitely be using them again in the future. Highly recommended.

The team arrived right on time. Did a quick walk through for confirmation then went right to work. In less than 5 hours, I had 2 coats of paint on all my walls. They did another walk through to make sure I was happy...and I was, I love it!! I would definitely use them again, and would highly recommend them!

Awesome , very attentive, reasonable, would hire again

All I can say is WOW!!! I have had some poor experiences with other contractors. Either they were unorganized, quoting me incorrect prices or just not sticking to the timeline and delaying work. This was NOT the case with Mike Sandness and his amazing team! From the moment I called for a free estimate to the completion of the project, this experience was phenomenal! As soon as I called, they were able to schedule my free estimate right away. Mike showed up promptly on time. He was kind, knowledgeable and professional. He asked what I was looking for and even itemized the estimate since I was unsure of what work I could or wanted to complete on my own. The estimate was so reasonable in comparison to other estimates I had received. In some cases cheaper! Mike was available and answered all my questions even when I emailed him later in the evening. The team showed up for work on time and were professional and courteous. The work was completed on schedule and I am so impressed! The communication, professionalism, quality and timeliness took away all the stress that comes along with home projects! I will be recommending this team to everyone I know! Thank you so much to Mike and his team!

Very good work, done in a very timely manner. They were almost half the cost of my other estimate for this work. Highly recommend.

Crew was great - friendly and a well oiled machine. In these trying times felt like friends and activity for a day at a safe distance. The painters took time to talk to me and me to them about family and life. It made my day a little bit more normal. And yes, they did a great job!!!

Excellent service. Extremely fast. They had everything done in 6 hours. Cleaned up perfectly. Looks great. Price was very reasonable. Would use again

The painters were very professional and do a great job

Mike and crew were great! They painted almost my entire 2000sq ft home including wallpaper removal in a day and a half. The paint job also included patching numerous holes, painting around tons of trim, covering a dark color with a light color and vaulted ceiling walls. They were professional, on time, easy to communicate with and friendly. The whole process went very smoothly. I will hire again.

Not only was this the most professional group but they were nice guys too. They did a great job...they were quick and neat (no drips or spills). They protected my furniture and floors. They even swept up before they left the house. What a great experience. I will definitely hire again and will recommend them to anyone.
