Get matched with top interior painters in Orono, MN

"We wanted to have our house stained and our deck and front porch cleaned and stained. Got 4 bids,3 of which we found on Angie's list. Jerry seemed very knowledgeable and fairly priced, so we went with him. It was a wet spring so we had to wait a bit, but eventually got the job done. Overall, his crew did an okay job on the house part of it. This is why I'm leaving the bad review. We have a 50' deck and a 20' front porch. Both of which, last summer I installed about 100' feet of cable railing, consisting of about 45 black painted stainless steel posts along with the cable that is strung through to make the railing. Along the top of that is 2x6 lumber that was to be stained, along with the surface of the decks. Not only did anyone not think about masking off the cable and posts, but the individual they had do the staining on this, got stain all over not only all the post, but the cables as well. When I saw this and brought it to the attention of the foreperson, nobody seemed to care enough to not only start to clean it off, but even care that much. It was only after texts, and phone calls to Jerry, did anyone try to do anything. Well, they needed an industrial type of aerosol paint remover to clean it. The areas where they could get it off, the removal product damaged the finish, and they still didn't even get it all off. At the end of the day, the only important thing for Jerry, was to get his check. I couldn't inspect the deck that night (because the surface was wet) so I didn't give his crew the rest of the money. So Jerry made sure to have his person stop by at 8:00am the next morning to make sure he got his money. After I slept on this for a few days, I called Jerry with my concerns about the rail. He was supposed to stop by that Friday, as he was going to be in the area, but he was a no show. Haven't heard from him since. If you hire him, I'd advise you sit and watch the type of job his people are doing. I assumed this was a professional outfit, and learned my lesson."

"My experience with Handyman Connection was terrible. I will never utilize them again and caution others that are considering them. I had a exterior painting project that was quoted in May 2024 and the project was not completed until late September due to the poor work and damages that were caused to my gutter system that I found after they were “finished”. No workers came and informed me of the damages. So when the worker’s came to me to come and take a look at their work I found half my house was painted in a different color than the other half! Eight sections of my gutter system were damaged and needed to be replaced and my brown garage door was now a shade of purple! To top things 25% of the surfaces that were to be painted and included in the original quote was never painted! I was also not informed of this by the workers and found this out when I questioned them. I spoke to Management about my concerns and there was no rush to remedy the situation and no consideration to reducing the quoted price at all. They also left paint on a number of my windows and door frames and when you have bronze frames and beige paint splattered on them it is very obvious to the eye but no effort to remove those spill/drips. I could go on with the issues that I had but I will end by using a very popular saying “Caveat Emptor” or Let the Buyer Beware! They have some good reviews but I certainly do not have anything good to say about the service and the outcome I had with them. I will say the workers themselves were very nice but that’s as much as I can say nice about my experience."

"Andy was very helpful in finding the flexibility and the right guy for a last-minute kitchen painting after wall repair. Juan did a small kitchen perfectly in 2 hours."

"Awful. This company has good reviews but was absolutely awful for me. Called because of a water leak which is supposed to be one of their specialties. They had me hire a separate inspector/specialist to evaluate the home exterior. They then tore a hole in our kitchen ceiling looking for the water leak. When they had difficulty identifying the origin of the leak they simply abandoned the project with a hole in the middle of our kitchen ceiling. Finding water leaks is difficult and I don't blame for having difficulty locating the leak but abandoning the project with a gaping hole in our kitchen is really extraordinarily bad service."

"The Bella Casa painters did a great job. The workmanship was excellent. Cleanup was flawless. The price was very reasonable. We were 100% satisfied!"

"Shelton did an excellent job for a great price. This will really help sell our home. I will hire them again in a heartbeat."

"We hired Hadley’s painting to paint multiple rooms and a two story stairwell. Todd was very prompt and professional. He was very detailed in preparing the rooms before painting. We are extremely pleased with the work and look forward to using Hadley’s painting in the future."

"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."

"Tim and his crew did an excellent job with painting almost the entire lower level in my home. In and out in one day. He was professional, and his price was fair. I was happy with the results and would definitely use him again!"

"Juan and his crew did great would recommend highly!"
