About us

Monarch Painting offers reliable service and quality work at reasonable prices. We are fully insured, members of the Better Business Bureau, and have over twenty years combined experience. We can also help with wallpaper removal, light wall repair, and color consultation. • Monarch Painting uses Low or Zero VOC paint for your green painting solutions. Paints, adhesives, and other protective finishes are often formulated with solvents (or VOCs) to improve performance and durability. VOCs are unstable, carbon-containing compounds that readily vaporize into the air. When they enter the air, they react with other elements to produce ozone, which causes air pollution and a host of health issues including breathing problems, headaches, burning, watery eyes and nausea. Some VOCs also have been linked to cancer, as well as kidney and liver damage. • We are an EPA Certified Lead-Safe painting company, which means we take special care to protect our customers from the dangers of older lead-based paints. Award winning.

Description of Work: From our first contact, Monarch Painting was outstanding, and we feel lucky to have worked with them. Shane and his team painted the exterior of our house - some high walls and lots of prep to be done. Their work was exceptional, professional, quick, tidy, cheerful and reasonable. They offered valuable advice when asked, and just quietly did a fantastic job. I would, will, and do enthusiastically recommend them to everyone.

Description of Work: We bought a foreclosed house that was in good condition except for the paint; most of the inside of the house needed to be redone. Before closing I was actually able to have a neighbor who had done smaller jobs for us before come in the estimate painting the house. This is a two story house, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen , dining and three other large rooms - this was no small job. He is a legit contractor (and on Angie's List) so we thought with the personal connection and the big job he would be ready to take the job. He met us at the house, spent over an hour noticing things, adding tips.....but then we never heard from him again! It really put us in a bind because we had the moving truck lined up, the closing was scheduled and our house would not be painted in time. Behold: Super Shane!!! He was very prompt about coming over, and gave a fair estimate that was not out of the ballpark. Due to our urgency to get things rolling so that we could unpack, he was extremely flexible about showing up in evenings, coming on rainy days when he couldn't paint outside and fitting us in whenever he had a spare moment. We continue to be very happy with the quality of the work over a year since he did it. There was a small area of the pantry that required that he come back and fix and he came back, no questions asked. Polite and professional all the way around and I will definitely use him again!

Never had work done
Description of Work: They seemed nice and professional but estimate $5200 + $400-$1000 for paint to paint the trim and four shutters on our home seems excessive. Another contractor estimate $2900 + $200 paint seemed more in line with the project

Response from Monarch Painting
Sorry the price didn't work out. We do our best to fair. We find we are usually in the middle for estimates. Thanks for the opportunity to bid on the project.

great.
Description of Work: Monarch came around to give us an estimate within a day of calling. Although I wasn't home, I gave them permission to go around the exterior of the house to make the estimate. I t was higher than we expected, but we may wait to afford them--they've done great work in our neighborhood.

The work that they did was good. They came out and they gave me an estimate done. Then I had some additional work to be done, so they redid the estimate.
Description of Work: Monarch painting fixed some parts of the ceiling and small cracks on the wall in September.

We started a bunch if interior painting, looked at the stairwell wall and decided it was too daunting so we looked to hire a painter to finish it and to complete what we had left. Shane came over did an estimate, we asked him to do some more stuff on top of the original estimate as we were happy with the estimate. We had a delay due to windows being put in and he gladly held off waiting to start. When everything was ready to go, he did the work in a few days and we are extremely happy with it. Great guy, very courteous and professional and it shows in his work too.
Description of Work: Painted ceilings in a few rooms including a faux finish ceiling, walls in stairwell and walls on second floor. Painted all the trim to cover up work from window replacements

Shane was a pleasure to worth...he's a good guy, the quality was great & best of all, he and his crew are competent, professional and left no mess. Bid - Shane came out a day or two after I called him (maybe the day of...I don't recall) and gave me a price on the spot. I had a couple others out that day and he was by far the most professional and easy going (important to me). I called him a week or so later and said 'OK'. He said he'd get to it in mid-August which was OK with me. Work - Mid July I was refinancing my house and the appraiser said I needed to have the exposed wood painted before they would approve the loan. I called Shane and asked him if he could squeeze me in on short notice, even though we agreed to Mid August. He squeezed me in without issue, which was classy. This was very appreciated. He and a crew member were at my house within a couple days and did a great job. I was worried they were going to cut corners b/c of the circumstances but that was not the case at all. He then came out in early August (earlier than he committed to) and knocked out the painiting in a couple days. There were a couple mis-communications that resulted in him having to come back out to the house. He handled these professionally and without issue. Again, this was appreciated. Shane's a great guy with a great crew and does a great job. Without a doubt I recommend him.
Description of Work: Scraped, primed & painted sides of my house (I did front/back last summer) including all windows and trim. My house has pretty high peaks not accessible using a standard extension ladder, which is the primary reason I asked Shane to do it. Also, glazed section of front window ($30).

We had a 3-season porch remodeled in early 2009. The interior needed to be painted so we searched and found Monarch painting. Shane lived in our neighborhood and was very responsive to our needs. He gave us a very good estimate to do the work. He completed the painting in Spring, 2009 and the quaility was very good. We then hired him to do the trim of our stucco house and detached garage. We told him we were not in a big hurry but he still completed the work in July, 2009, again for a very reasonable price. We hope to utilize his services again this Winter for some additional interior painting. My wife and I both work and have 3 little kids so we just haven't had time to do these painting jobs - thank goodness for Shane!
Description of Work: Shane painted the inside of a 3-season porch early in 2009 then came back in the Summer to do the outside trim of the house and garage.

Great! They came recommended by a friend who'd had a good experience with them. They brought a group of people over who were working hard over the 4 days they were here. The painters were really easy to get along with and were polite. They took care of all clean up without having to be badgered. I would definitely hire them again. Paint still looks good some time after the job has been completed.
Description of Work: Monarch Painting stripped and painted the trim on the exterior of my house. They also stained the frames on some new interior windows to match the surrounding wood.

They do interior and exterior painting and they pretty much painted my entire house. They were very tidy, they were very responsive, they were very reasonably priced. And I thought that they were amazing.
Description of Work: They have done two different painting projects for me.
