Description of Work: 2nd time I hired John. He painted our living room 4 years ago-- beautiful job. He just completed knock-down ceilings and painted all walls in my entry, hallway, dining room, kitchen, and basement stairway. Big job! Beautifully done- it really updated my house. Done at the time he said he would be here and finished before I expected. I will call him again next year!

Description of Work: I emailed this provider and he called me back within minutes, which I found VERY impressive because I had reached out to several other painting companies and never recieved a response back - probably because it is late in the season and they are booked. Unfortunately, he was also booked for the rest of the season so I couldn't use his services at the moment but he still took the time to call me back and answer my questions so I appreciated that. I will definitely consider if we still need the service in the Spring. Thank you for your prompt response!!

John gave us a quote and completed the work for the quoted price even though he had to apply three coats of paint, in some areas, instead of the two as quoted. We had three other quotes,and all were higher than Absolutes Painting's. The house and shed were power washed, the calking was replaced as needed, windows and doors were covered with plastic, to protect them from overspraying. The paint was applied by spraying and then rolled and/or brused as needed. He used a top of the line paint from Hirshfields for both the house and trim. John and his crew, Mike & Adam, were very profesional and very neat, the work was done earlier than quoted and there was no damage to any of our plants or shrubs around the house. Some repair work was done to one of the windows at no extra charge, also. We have had several positive comments on how nice our house looks,as well as people wanting to know who did such a great job. Absolute Painting, has painted for us in the past and will definitely be used again.
Description of Work: Absolute Painting power washed the exterior of the house and shed and painted the house and a medium size storage shed. They have done interior painting for us in the past.

I received additional quotes and Absolute was quite comparable. I ended up working with another company but would surely contact them for a bid on painting work again in the future. It was quite a tough decision as Absolute gave an excellent quote and were very professional.

John did an excellent job. I have an old home with uneven plaster and some cracks, and the ceiling and walls in my bedroom are now very smooth, almost perfect. I just finished painting them, and the paint applied beautifully to the new plaster. John was very personable and honest, and he gave me great advice about painting which was helpful for this project and will be helpful for future projects. We had a bit of trouble connecting at first for him to come to my house to give an estimate and then to set a date for the work to be completed, but it was the beginning of his busy season, and it was only a slight delay. He did arrive on the work day originally agreed upon, he completed the work in a timely manner, and he cleaned up well afterwards. His estimate was slightly more than I expected to pay but was still within the range that was appropriate, and his work was well worth the money. He is obviously a perfectionist, and I would definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: I had previously scraped popcorn texture from my bedroom ceiling, and I had also attempted to repair a few large cracks in the wall but was unable to get a smooth finish myself. I decided to hire John Scott from Absolute Painting to skim coat my ceiling and to repair the cracks in the walls.

Liked our first round of painting in November so much that we went ahead and rebooked for this second round of painting this winter. Very pleasant estimate process, with very good turnaround time of an electronic estimate. Super prep and clean-up. Great and reasonable paint job, very meticulous at covering up old nail holes. Closets came out wonderful. Did an amazing job with a red stripe at doorway height in my son's room separating two other colors. Always keeps home owner in loop and doesn't interfere with "normal homelife function" during the project any more than necessary, which is very appreciated.
Description of Work: Bedroom painting, basement painting, and John even finished up one unfinished wall from a previous DIY project.

AMAZING. Three days and it was all done, and done incredibly well. I've never seen such detail in prep work. John was a total pleasure to deal with, and we're doing "round 2" in the next month or two....might as well paint more rooms with such a trustworthy company.
Description of Work: Painted our vaulted foyer, two stories of hallways, living room, mudroom, hall closet, and another doorway.

I originally contacted John in April 2009 for an estimate. I put off the painting as I was going to be out of town for a while and I also had several other home improvemment projects going on. I contacted him in November when I was ready to have the lower level of my townhome painted, He honored the quote he gave me earlier in the year. I am extremely happy with the quality of his work, he showed up when he said he would and the painting job was completed when he said. The work was very neat and I am pleased, I will hire him again when I am ready to paint other areas in my house. John also cleaned up and vacuumed the area after he was done.
Description of Work: Painted the lower level (family room ) of my townhome. Removed the old window treatments and painted the family room.

It went great. Several family members used this company over the summer and were very happy. I got a good estimate in writing and then the job was done about two weeks later. It was a very professional experience and John Scott was a pleasure to work with. He cleaned up afterwards and I was very happy with everything.

He was just a quality person. He was very professional, and explained everything in detail. He was responsive in calling back to see when I wanted the work done, but I had to tell him I had to hold off. He was just an outstanding young person.
Description of Work: I wanted wall paper stripped, and then the wall painted after. I am in the process of selling my house, and my realtor told me to hold off on this project becuase it would be part of the deal upon selling my house that if the buyer wanted it removed than I would have it removed. So I had to call him and tell him I was going to hold off on that due to my realtor's advice, but if I were going to have the work done they would be the ones to do it.

John gave us the estimate and delivered the paint swatches to our house all within a couple of days. The day after we picked out the paint colors, John did the painting and finished both rooms in less than a day. He is very neat and everything is returned to the place that he found it. He is very trustworthy, in fact we left for most of the day to tend to other business, when we returned he was nearly done with the job. We will definitely have him do all of our painting in the future.
Description of Work: John Scott gave us an estimate for the painting of 2 bedrooms and performed the work as promised within the prescribed time frame.

Overall John is very professional. I really like him. He is down to earth and very honest. He even helped me pick out the color. He told me it would only take a day but if I wanted him to paint the bathroom and bedroom it would take 2 days. I am very excited to see the work completed.
Description of Work: John Scott came to my home and gave me an estimate. He is going to paint the walls in the kitchen, dining room, and living room. He is also going to fix the ceiling in two spots. He will rip the old ceiling part off and put new ceilings on.

John was quick to respond to my call for an estimate. He was very professional, and offered helpful advise when I was trying to choose a paint color for this challenging area of our home. He showed up on time (even a little early to set up before the crew came, which I had OKed with him). His crew was very professional and respectful - I was very comfortable with all the people that were in my home. They only took a short lunch break, otherwise they kept on task, finishing the job (2 coats of paint) in a very reasonable time. Before leaving they moved large furniture back in place and cleaned everything up, even vacuuming the floors.
Description of Work: Repaired loose drywall tape, painted living room/dining room/stairway areas with a very high vaulted ceiling.

Beforehand, I picked up Hirshfield's paint samples. John then helped me determine which was the best color for my home. We are preparing to put our house on the market and John helped picked colors that are home-buyer friendly. The crew did a great job of patching and repairing damage to the walls caused from poor construction and age (the house was built in 1963). I have beams in the living room and Martodam did a great job of spraying the coloring on the ceiling without getting paint on them. Everything was covered in plastic. John also helped me review paint samples for the rooms I was painting myself and made some great suggestions. One of my bedrooms was painted cranberry. He suggested a new Benjamin Moore paint called Aura because it covers in one coat (2 at most). I put on a blue color (called Atmospheric) that really did cover in one coat, though I cut in twice. It cost a lot more ($60), but the paint saved me hours of painting three or more coats of regular paint.
Description of Work: John Scott and his two-man crew painted the common areas of the main floor of my home: kitchen, dining, and living room, and the two hallways, as well as all of the ceilings on the main floor (except the bathroom).

Outstanding from bid to clean up. Each and every expectation that John set was met from timing, to cost to look. The guys that John had joining him on the job were professional and easy going.
Description of Work: John and team painted 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room and a couple of stairwells - all in 1.5 days. I think the quote was 2500 square feet of wall.

John was very easy to work with. He was on time for our scheduled estimate. His price(to paint the kitchen and family room) was within our budget and we gave the go ahead. Because of another job being postponed, we were able to have John and his crew out to the house two days after the estimate (lucky us!). They moved and covered all the furniture. Repaired and prepped the walls before applying the paint that we supplied. John and his crew were respectful of the house and property. Everything went as planned. In and out in one day. We will be calling on him again.
Description of Work: Repaired, prepped, and painted (2 coats) the kitchen and family room.

The work went smoothly, and even finished sooner than expected. The final price also came in under his estimate! He even stayed late the last day so that he could finish it up for us.
Description of Work: John Scott has worked for us before, and we were very impressed with the quality of his work. Even though this was a smaller project, painting a bathroom, he took just as much time with us, and gave as much attention to detail as if it were a million dollar project. The project involved removing wall paper first, and he was careful to inform us of each possible scenario and what it would cost - this is because wallpaper can be a bear to take off, and you never know until you get into the job! He does excellent work, cleans up after himself and his crew beautifully, and charges a fair price. I am recommending John to everyone I know who needs a painter!

My husband called John on a Saturday and he said he would stop by at 1:00 PM on Sunday to give us an estimate. He showed up promptly at 1:00, gave a verbal estimate, and then headed straight to the paint store. That evening we received a formal professionally typed estimate via email. John arrived the following morning at 7:00 AM & began the day & a half job. He made the entire process stress and hassle free! I didn't have to do a thing, except pick the paint color. John removed everything from our walls, covered our furniture, put everything back on the walls that we wanted put back up and vacuumed everything, including the stairs! After he left, you wouldn't even know a painter had been there, except the place looked brand new! We were thoroughly impressed and would absolutely recommend John to anyone considering painting. In fact, I already have!
Description of Work: The following areas were painted in our bi-level home: Vaulted Entry/Foyer, Vaulted Formal Dining Room, Vaulted Living Room, Upper Hallway, Bathroom Wall, Lower Hallway, Large Family Room and part of a ceiling.

John started each day promptly at 8:00 AM, as promised, he bagged all the furniture, to keep it from getting dusty, he also covered all the carpeting to protect it. All the wood work was either covered with plastic or taped. The worked progressed ahead of schedule and was completed in 2 1/2 days. John cleaned, vacuumed, replaced the furniture to it's original position and removed all waste materials upon his departure. The completed project cost less than the original estimate. John was very pleasant to have around. We would certainly hire him again
Description of Work: John was very prompt in giving us an estimate for painting our dinning room, living room, hallway, entry way and descending stairway. He also estimated the cost of doing all the ceilings in the above area, as well as all prep work prior to beginning, such as nail holes, dings, dents etc. His estimate included all top quality paint and material to complete the project. John estimated the project to take a maximum of 3 days, if all went well. His estimate was nearly $200 below the others.

This guy is SO good! We recently purchased an older (built 1941) home in Minneapolis. We were still living in Kansas but wanted to get the painting done prior to our arrival. Some friends of ours who had also moved to Minneapolis had John and his company do their new home - a very labor intensive wall paper removal and painting job. They were very enthusiastic about the work he did, so I hired him without doing any comparison shopping. And I could not have been happier! John made a trip to the house on short notice when we were in town on the weekend we closed the house deal, and brought colors and advice. We decided on the color schemes, and we left to go back to Kansas for a month. John and his crew had access to our house, and our trust was rewarded. The attention to detail was amazing - it is the BEST paint job I have EVER had. During the project he emailed and called me with updates on a regular basis. Best of all, he CLEANED UP after himself very well.
Description of Work: Repaired and prepped plaster walls and woodwork for painting. Painted two bedrooms, a hall, living room, dining room, and kitchen.
