Brian did a wonderful job and was easy to work with. Responsive in communication and very transparent and upfront about costs and time estimates. He also did a great job cleaning up, and kept all work spaces neat over the duration of a very large project. I would hire Brian again and highly recommend him to anyone seeking interior paint work.

Everything went great. This house dates from the 1880s but it's no historical beauty; there were a mishmash of trims in the rooms Brian worked on and assorted holes and plaster damage. Before doing any painting he patched and repaired holes and made some minor plaster repairs where cracks had appeared. Where there were gaps in trims he filled them and made them look like they had actually been professionally fitted and installed (when the reality is that I installed a lot of them, poorly). He also had valuable advice about the type of paint to use, and explained his reasoning in a way that made sense to me. When he got to the actual painting the prep work paid off and it came out looking great. His attention to detail was crucial and I'll definitely call him for my next painting project.

I needed my garage painted within a month because the old paint was peeling badly and Brian was very responsive and friendly. He was out in a couple of days for an estimate and took a couple of paint chips to match the paint. He provided great customer service. He completed the job when he said he would and my garage now looks terrific.

Bryan was quick to come and give me a bid; he was pleasant, courteous, and wore a mask. He submitted a quote for the work which was clear and detailed. He was able to do the work even earlier than originally projected. Bryan was prompt, did good work, and cleaned up after. I will definitely hire him again.

Wonderful. Brian was on time each day. He always let me know what he was going to do each day. His work was very professional and neat. He would clean up after his work day and at the end of the projects. In addition to his excellent painting work, he was very pleasant to have around the house.

Brian was amazing! he did a great job. After he left, I noticed a couple of very small things that got overlooked. I called him back and he came right back with no problem. Not only he's great at what he does, he's very friendly. His pricing is reasonable and I would hire him again if needed! A++

Brian did a great job. he did request I be flexible with my timing which was fine with me since I had to move furniture out of the way. He spent 3 days at my house over two weeks and I could not be more pleased.

Brian was great. He was quick to respond and was able to get my job done quickly, which I appreciated as I'm preparing my house for sale. I had tried to do some patching on my own (which he didn't say needed to be done) but he was able to finish anything I missed or couldn't get too. He was also very accommodating with some hardware and shelving I didn't want to remove due to either the damage it would cause or how hard it would be to reinstall. That was a HUGE help and time-saver for me. Brian was prompt and arrived as promised. Great job completed. And it looks fantastic.

I was contacted right away after purchasing the deal with a time frame for when I could expect work to start. Brian was on time and got a lot done very quickly for a job of this size. Even with a high-quality paint, the job took additional coats to finally cover the dark color. Brian cautioned me about that up front and quoted how much additional coats might cost and said they'd most likely be needed if I wanted to stay with the light color. I appreciated the warning and it helped me budget appropriately to go with the lighter color. The finished product looks awesome. Prices are competitive if not on the low end for a job of this scale. I'll definitely use Different Strokes again.
Description of Work: Purchased the 3 room deal for two rooms that were much larger. Very dark color replaced by a very light one. Also added a stairwell with very high ceilings.
