Flanagan Painting

Joe was great to work with. He is friendly and laidback which took the stress off of the project. His crew did a great job painting the exterior of our home, staining the front of our property, and detailing the trim work. The total cost people included some carpentry work that one of his subcontractors assisted with, replacing boards on our home and deck. Overall, great experience!

Joe and his crew were great. We chose Flanagan painting because of their experience with stucco painting. The work done was awesome and professional. They cleaned up each day and took time to ensure that we were happy with the work done.

Excellent work, very happy with final results.

We had a very positive experience with Flanagan Painting. Joe was very responsive and fully explained the process steps involved with cleaning, patching and painting our 1918 2.5 story home's brick, stucco and wood exterior. Our project included three paint colors for the wood trim, stucco and brick and took about 7 business days to complete. They power washed the entire home and then scraped and patched peeling paint and cracks in the stucco and brick prior to apply two coats of paint. The cedar deck turned out better than expected as we had not had it stained in a number of years. After power washing it, Joe took the extra time to sand down some stubborn stain spots and the end result looks great (pic below is taken in dappled shade). The crew worked quickly and Joe followed up at the end with the final finishing work. I really appreciated doing business with Joe and his attention to detail and commitment to ensuring we were happy with the results.. We are very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Flanagan Painting without hesitation.

Great! Joe gave me the estimate, & when I said I was concerned that it be done while the weather was still warm, he said he could start the next day. Everything was done very professionally. He even left the neighbors a note, to ask if he could clean up anything that the power washing blew into their yard. They worked continuously during what turned out to be unseasonably hot weather, & put everything back on the house (shutters, numbers, etc.) so I had nothing to worry about. Really nice guys - Great job!

Very reasonable, professional, and courteous. Joe was a pleasure to work with.

Joe Flanagan & his assistant, Jonathon, did a great job on my house & garage! And at a reasonable price! And with a 5% Angie’s List member discount. He also suggested power washing my wooden fence, which was unpainted & unstained & had turned an ugly gray. He said if I did this, it would look almost new again, with a tinge of the original orange color. He was right! The fence looks so much better. And he gave me suggestions on staining it to maintain it. He also was careful of my perennial plants that were coming up around the house, which I appreciated – I did mark them to help him avoid. They were detail oriented & careful in their painting. And afterward he cleaned up all the paint chips & scrapings & left the house looking fresh & new! He also noticed & pointed out a hole in my eaves which he chased a squirrel out of & plugged up w/ rocks as a temporary barrier. That was going above & beyond! And he & his assistant were both so congenial, friendly & easy to work with! And answered all my questions! I will definitely hire again for any painting work!

In spring of 2017 (May) I hired Flanagan Painting to paint my stucco house. I had initially wanted only my trim painted as paint was peeling badly. He explained to me that he noticed cracks in my stucco in both house & garage & he could patch those up & if I would have the whole house painted, he could use a special paint to also help seal the cracks in the stucco. Since I didn’t know the last time the house was painted (I’ve owned for only 7 years) & because I thought a full paint job would help seal out pests of all kinds, I decided to go with his suggestion of full house & garage painting. (I didn’t feel pressured by him at all to do full paint job.) So glad I did! Joe Flanagan & his assistant, Jonathon, did a great job on my house & garage! And at a reasonable price! And with a 5% Angie’s List member discount. He also suggested power washing my wooden fence, which was unpainted & unstained & had turned an ugly gray. He said if I did this, it would look almost new again, with a tinge of the original orange color. He was right! The fence looks so much better.

And he & his assistant were both so congenial, friendly & easy to work with! And answered all my questions! I will definitely hire again for any painting work!

I have referred Flanagan Painting out numerous times for clients. Joe and his crew are excellent, quick and professional

Joe was prompt in all correspondence, on time, careful around the garden, personable, great work and very good price. He also offered to clean out the gutters while up there, but I already had that done.

It was great. He busted his butt to get the house painted by the time we needed it completed. He went above and beyond.

From start to finish Flanagan Painting was terrific! Joe Flanagan was prompt, polite, and professional in all his communications. His price was quite reasonable. Only one other quote was lower, but that contractor wasn't available in our time frame. Several of the other quotes were significantly more expensive. Not only was Joe's price good, he and his workers started on time, worked long days to finish early, and took care of some extras for us at no additional charge. Every bit was professional, and we'd have no reservations about using Flanagan Painting again.

Joe was one of the 2 that actually responded to my call. He was very responsive with the estimate and scheduling the work. The work was completed as promised. There was a area that did go as well as planned. The true sign of a class act is how a company handles problems. Joe was very understanding and he took care of the problem without any push back. I would recommend Joe and Flanagan Painting. Honest guy.

Joe did an excellent job and was the cheapest of all the bids.

Joe was very helpful in helping us decide on combination of multiple colors. Very knowledgeable on his craft. Went the extra mile to give us what we wanted and what we needed. Met our time table. Totally met our expectations and exceeded them. Would highly recommend his services to anyone in need and will use him in the future.

Joe Flanagan gave me a very reasonable bid for the work, was able to get to my project about two weeks sooner than other painters I got bids from and did a wonderful job. He gave me a bid quickly, showed up to do the job when he said he would, worked hard and went the extra mile to clean up after the job was completed. He communicated well, was friendly and easy to work with, and did a meticulous job, so I plan to hire him again in the future for some additional work.

Joe an his team did a great job. The exterior paint was in really rough shape, and they did a great job to cover it up, seal all the gaps, and help us get the house looking good.

Joe and his employee, did an excellent job painting our lower level and spare bedroom. He was prompt at returning my initial email, was on time for the estimate and gave me a realistic timeframe for when he could do the work. The two of them came out and completed the painting and even a little drywall touch up that could be seen once paint was on the wall. He was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. He taped off the whole area and floors to keep our home clean and he picked up and took everything with him when complete. He also left me the extra paint in case we need it in the future. Overall, he did a great job and I'm sure we will use him again in the future.

They went above and beyond to handle all issues that came up in regards to the exterior painting of our house. They were very professional, timely and did a terrific job painting the exterior of our home. They stayed on budget as promised and kept us up to date with periodic status reports and photos. We are very pleased with their quality of work and would not hesitate to use them again.

On time. On budget. Attention to detail.

I first contracted with Joe in February 2011, and he worked in our home, both interior and exterior with excellent results. When my aunt passed away in July 2011, I had to prepare her house for sale and contacted Joe again to do the work - interior of that home, exterior of home and garage. Joe Flanagan has my full confidence when I need painting and related decorating work. He is excellent in suggestion, know-how, and in his carry through.

Vine Arts Center is a volunteer member-run non-profit art organization in south Minneapolis. A couple of years ago we wanted to do upgrades to our art gallery which included painting the wooden ceiling above our main gallery space (approx. 1000 sq. ft.). We aksed for a few quotes from painting outfits and decided to go with Flanagan Painting. Joe was very professional easy to get in contact with and had all the necessary paint gear needed to reach a ceiling that was 15-20 ft. high. He was punctual and detail oriented. As a not for profit organization, our budget was obviously quite small. He helped us keep our costs down through his paint discount and letting us prep the ceiling (scrape off all the old paint) instead of him. He also contributed part of his fee as a donation to the organization. We have maintained a relationship with Joe and had him come back in April of this year. We had installed new overhead lighting in the gallery and he offered some complimentary touch ups to the ceiling. We also contacted him now, in December, asking for a bid for painting the entire gallery. He quoted us a very competitive price, again with some options for lower costs. Back in April we mentioned a problem with a leaky exterior window at our own home. Joe came to look at it and fixed it quickly and easily. The repair - was seamless. We can't even tell which window it was! We will definitely be contacting Flanagan Painting for future paint related needs.

Before I contacted Joe Flanagan with Flanagan Painting, the interior walls of my home needed severe restoration. Most of the companies and contractors I contacted refused to even attempt repairing the walls, or wanted to assess extraordinary fees. My great room was riddled with marks and scratches on the paint with cracks and holes in the drywall. The previous owners attempted to remove the wallpaper in my kitchen but eventually abandoned the project, leaving behind many tool marks and most of the wallpaper hanging off of the walls. My bathroom was a sickly yellow color and the acoustic ceiling outside in the hallway was falling off. The walls in my two bedrooms were heavily soiled from moving. Joe came to my house and assessed the damage. He provided two reasonable offers, one including the necessary work and one suggesting a few touch ups, and then discussed the different paint colors and coatings. He didn't pressure me to accept extra services, and in fact, found some cheaper materials allowing me to get some extra work done. Joe finished the work within the time he promised and provided me with updates throughout the project. He even did many small things that I didn't expect like cleaning off all of the tables and counter tops, not just the areas he used, and sweeping and vacuuming all of the floors to ensure he removed any dirt or dust that came from the job. He put forth much effort to make the place look just as good, if not better than before he began. I will always call Joe for any home projects and repairs and I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

I purchased my house in 2007 and the upstairs was ugly with an exposed brick chimney that looked terrible. I contacted several painting companies and Flanagan painting came in a lot lower then the majority of estimates. When Joe came over he was on-time, friendly and respectful. We went around the upstairs and looked at the places that needed painting and caulking ect. I was pleased with his attention to detail during the walk around. When Joe arrived for work, he just went upstairs and got to work. I work from home and was surprised at how quiet he was, I didn't even notice him. The best thing that Joe did was realize that the stains on the brick were coming from the porous old brick on my roof. Apparently brick absorbs water and it can seep down into the lower part of the house. He recomended that we seal the brick on the exterior of the house and that will solve the seepage problem. The upstairs truned out great and I can now show people that part of my house! I would recomend Joe to anyone, he is a real professional and cares about the work he does. I would say that I am completely satisfied with the work preformed. Best, Matt

I was planning on selling my house but the realtor told me I would have to lower my list price because I had peeling paint on my house and deck. My realtor showed me houses that were selling for much less than I was going to list for because of the bad exterior paint. I contacted a few painters and they all gave me quotes and I was struggling to find the money to get the paint job. I wanted to try and get another quote and that is when I contacted Flanagan Painting. He came out and showed me how I could save a lot of money and make the paint last longer by adding a product to the paint. He was right it saved a lot of the prep time and that saved me a lot of money. The paint job turned out GREAT and he even did some extra work for free that would help save on the heating bills. He was real courteous and was very careful to make sure my patio and boat did not get any paint on it. Bottom line is he did a great job and my house got a great offer right out the gate. I will continue to recommend him to my family and friends. If you need painting especially on a deck or over peeling paint I would highly recommend you call Flanagan Painting. Best Regards, Jim
