Different Strokes Painting

Impressed as Brian contacted me the day before to confirm his arrival at seven thirty a.m. Brian showed up promptly, I apologized and explained I did not get a chance to patch a couple of holes, and told him...if a problem, I would hit it once we finally moved it. I arrived 6 hours later and he was just wrapping things up. Wow is all I can say, awesome job, he not only patched the holes I didn't have time to get at, the painting job was flawless. He left the house in spotless condition, no trace of anyone painting there all day other than perfectly completed job. I plan on hiring him again for many, many more projects. Highly recommend.

Brian painted two large rooms (in place of 3 standard size rooms). I was not ready to schedule yet when I bought the deal, but Brian contacted me a couple weeks later to let me know he had an opening. He stayed in good contact leading up to the appointment to let me know what I needed to do ahead of time. The work was done very quickly, and the quality was very good.

He's good overall. I had to go back and do some repainting because I had trim work done and some of the paint had pulled off. He was thoughtful and professional.

It turned out great and they did a good job. They did exactly what we asked and they did a good job cleaning up. They showed up on time and they worked the entire time. They got the job done in the 8 hours.

Brian arrive consistently every workday morning for 2 weeks and painstakingly set about painting our home as we tried to stay ahead of him with room readying. He striped the pealing popcorn ceiling from the 3 bathrooms and re-textured the ceilings with a less humidity-susceptible manner; draped rooms for spraying ceilings and closets; patched areas where it was needed; masked trim; and painted walls throughout. He also repainted some exterior trim that I had noticed while he was working indoors

Brian is very pleasant to work with and he does a terrific job. I am quite pleased with the end result.

Brian was great and I would highly recommend him!

He was very professional, neat, and did a very good job.

I initially purchased a Big Deal package for painting of three rooms for $499. When I purchased the package I knew that I would need additional work, including removal of wallpaper and some patching, so there was no surprise that the overall cost would be higher. Brian Bilski, the owner, came to my house to give me an estimate. This was done in a timely manner and was in the range I expected for the work. Once we got the schedule set (I was out of town on business) Brian began the work as agreed. After watching the work that went into the wallpaper removal I am glad I had it done by someone that knew what they were doing. Brian also did a bit more patch work than was originally quoted (at my request) but the additional cost was very low based on the overall job. All in all, the job went very well. Brian was on site for four days but a good portion of that was dealing with the wallpaper, patching, and prep work. He was careful to put down drop cloths on the areas where he was working and covered open areas with plastic. There was one bit of spatter on one floor from the wallpaper removal but Brian made sure that it was cleaned up before he left. I am very happy with the work that was done and have already received some compliments on the new paint scheme. Brian did a great job and was very flexible as to schedule and changes. I certainly recommend him to anyone that needs interior paint work done.

We bought this service as a Big Deal. Our experience with this provider was very good. The painter came in an did the work we asked for. Later, we asked him to do additional trim work on the stairs. We are satisfied with all aspects of this experience.

Brian was friendly, easy to work with and affordable. There were a couple of spots on the painted doors where drip marks are noticeable, but he readily agreed to fix tnem. Also some white paint from a window frame overlapped on the wall - I believe he would have been agreeable to fix this as well, but I didn't notice it until quite a bit later. I would definitely use him again.

showed up on time, did a good job, cleaned up well, friendly and easy going.

I paid for three days, we ran into a real problem. I?m paying effectively, and paying roughly $30 an hour for interior woodwork in my home for a professional and I got a $10 an hour job. He stained my floors and dropped paint on my hardwood floors that are new that I installed in March. He did not cover them. I thought I was getting a pro and I wasn?t. My wife did a better job painting the window than he did on my trim. I?ve gave him everything to do the job. He had tarps but did not seem like he used them otherwise it wouldn?t have gotten on my floor. We don?t want him back for the third day. I supplied the tape and the paint. I?m very disappointed in his work. I have a voicemail of him apologizing profusely from the mess he made. He is a nice person but I'm very disspointed with the quality of the work.

Very easy to work with, did a great job, got a really good amount of work done for the time hired!

The painting went very well. In the process of cleaning up the tape that was used pulled up the finish on the stairs. As Brian and I talked it was clear that this was unexpected and he would make it right. I called Brian and arranged for a return to correct the finish issue which he did without question on 12 May. The stairs are fine and I commend Brian for being a professional who stands by his work. I would recommend Brian to my friends.

On time, got work done in timely fashion and cleaned up job site when finished. Well done

I bought Angie's Deal for Trim/Base Painter for day for $235. I am doing the final finishing of my full basement and needed the primed MDF base/trim/casing painted and a patio door, an interior pine French door, two windows and three oak doors primed and painted. Obviously, more than what could be done in a day. I was going to do all of it myself, but when this deal came up, I decided to hire Brian to do as much as he could in a day. I scheduled with Brian and he showed up right on time on the date we chose (actually, a little early; very punctual). He came in and assessed the job before starting, asked questions, etc. Since it was more work than I knew could be accomplished in a day, we decided on the order of priority, which was to get areas done where carpet was going to be installed. Brian got right to work. There was a lot of masking that needed to be done on the patio door, the windows, door hinges, window hardware and the bathroom. He painted the base in the large common area (cement floor where carpet would be installed later and in the bathroom. He also primed the windows, the pine French door and the patio door (which really required a lot of masking...lots of nooks/crannies. Brian worked the full eight hours, was very pleasant and conscientious, asking if it was okay to play a radio, etc. At the end of the day, he had me look at the job, told me what he got done and what needed to still be done and said to let him know if I needed him back to finish up if I ended up not having time to finish the remainder. He didn't paint the exterior part of the windows yet as they needed to be open to dry or they would get painted shut, so he explained what I needed to do for painting that area. I have since painted the French door, patio door and windows that Brian primed and the French door alone took a long time for me to do :P. I am very glad I hired Brian as it would have taken me 'forever' to get all that work done by myself and I am pleased with his work. I recommend him and would hire him again for future work.

He did a great job patching up nicks and dents and other minor repairs. We were very happy overall and will likely use him in the future for other painting jobs.

Purchased this service at a discounted price thru Angie's List. The quality and service were both very good. And the value was excellent.

I contacted Brian to set up a time/date for painting all the trim in my living room. He contacted me the day before and confirmed the apt. He showed up exactly when he said he would and went right to work. He is very considerate and takes great care of his work enviornment. He was even very tolerant and friendly to my overly vocal basset hounds. I am extremely pleased with his work and impressed at how quickly he was able to complete the job.

Brian did a great job. I was extremely impressed with his work.

Brian was fantastic. He showed up on time and went right to work. He stayed at it a full 8 hours with no breaks other than a very short lunch break. His attention to detail and the quality of his work was very good. We plan to use him for additional painting in our home.

It is always really smooth working with Brian. I have used him in the past and will in the future. He is timely, punctual, gets the job done quickly, cleans up, always is very detail-oriented and thorough, and just is a great painter to work with. Our garage was in really rough shape with a lot of peeling paint and it looks fantastic now.

Great experience from start to finish. Brian was very responsive and came over within a few days to give me an estimate, which seemed very reasonable. I have used Different Strokes in the past and ave been very satisfied with their work, so it was a no-brainer to call Brian first for this job. He was able to fit this bathroom job in between two other projects, so it was very fast from start to finish. The bathroom and shower look great and it was just an easy, no-hassle experience. At a good price, too.

Brian was very attentive to our needs and communicated very well with us. He and his crew took very good care of our floors and property. My experience was first class
