Color Me Beautiful Painting

On 25 August 2022 I contracted Color Me Beautiful to paint the interior of my home with the exterior added later. I paid almost $30,000. Each of the 2 projects was projected to take 1-2 weeks. The trim and doors throughout the inside of my home were to be sanded and repaired. The tape on the ceilings that was peeling and was to be replaced before painting. Before the end of August Mr. Epperson had already lost the key to the front door. I gave him the only remaining key and just used the garage door myself. On 17 September I attempted to enter my home through the garage and the door from the garage to the home was locked. He would not answer his phone or bring the key. I was forced to cause damage to my home by breaking into it. I moved in 8 October & I was up at 7:00 am every day to workout, shower, and be dressed before they were due to arrive at 9:00 am. They rarely if ever showed up on time, sometimes not bothering to come or contact me for weeks at a time. I repeatedly ask about finishing my closets. I also asked about the tape still peeling from the ceilings and all the damage on my trim all of which had just been painted over instead of being addressed and then painted. He continued to assure me that they painted it first to better see exactly what needed attention. None of those issues ever got revisited and I ended up painting my own closets. After 2 months of paper covering all my back windows knowing the main reason I purchased this home was the view they finally came to remove it but never removed the sun caked tape residue. On 2 December I come home from work to find my garage door left open and paint in my brand-new toilet. It was their habit to clean their gear in my 2 tubs one of which is a jetted soaker tub and my sinks 3 of which were brand new. They did not clean those out either. I have a septic system which caused their washout to back up. After having previous plumbing issues addressed with the replacement of the toilets and vanities this caused me to spend even more to have a plumber come back to blow out my lines. They also left paint and supplies strewn about my yard in below freezing weather and snow which I brought inside. Throughout this entire almost 5 months he demanded payments while making promises he refused to keep knowing I was retired from the Navy, new to the area, and all alone out here. There was even a time when I attempted to address all the issues I was having with them not showing up and the quality of work being performed with Mr. Epperson where he called me and proceeded to start yelling at me. When I hung up to avoid the confrontation, he called his employee and put him in the middle asking him to give me the phone and again a screaming match ensued. When they finally packed up and left on 17 January nothing was completed to my satisfaction. All my walls are still see-thru and 2 toned, anywhere the 2 different grays meet on the outside of my house are a mess with no clear definition. The stone wall out front only got the face of it painted, all the sides of the stone were still the original color. The foundation was still see-thru along with all the white trim both inside and out. The siding only got the face painted as well. There was overspray everywhere including my brand-new light fixtures, brand-new floors, and master bath vanity mirror. Almost all the interior trim had paint from the walls and runs throughout the white. The bottoms of the windows never got painted because they just painted them closed. The areas on my walls and ceilings that got repaired were not retextured. I am not a professional painter but I know that most colors require either primer or several coats of paint and yet he repeatedly asked for more funds because he did not “expect it to take so many coats” when no primer was used. His only responses since they packed up and left were to ask me for a punch list for them to address which I sent more than once. Since then, Mr. Epperson has only ignored any attempt I have made to get this corrected.

We hired Kaye to paint 1/2 of the house last year. Numerous places need touch up. Can not get him to schedule it, or when he does schedule he does not keep appointments or notify us. Will not respond to texts or emails.

The job was done with a level and care of a company that takes pride in the work performed. My experience was amazing, and I would definitely hire this company again for future needs.

Looked great at first but the bottom shutters are now peeling

The job was done in a superior and extremely professional manner.

It was not good they didn't have verification to tell me who were they. The painters they were respectful but the company itself is not very responsive in any inquiries I have.

I recently hired Color Me Beautiful Painting to do interior painting. Let me begin by saying Kaye's quote was very reasonable. I've been working from home during the pandemic, but Kaye and his team were so courteous, quiet and professional that I hardly knew they were there. They began work on time and finished on schedule. The team worked great together. Cash (forgive me if I spell names wrong) did a lot of the work on the kitchen cabinets -- sanding and taping. Chris did a lot of the painting. I was super impressed by the quality of his work. Kaye was on site each day and gave great advice re color. He really turns interior painting into a higher art form. I would definitely hire Color Me Beautiful again and would refer CMB to my friends and family without hesitation. Thank you, Kaye and team for a job well done!

Very good and very professional. Met every thing promised

Kaye did an AWESOME job. I have used contractors in the past and the work was not as expected. Color Me Beautiful went far beyond what was expected. Not only did he paint, he repaired our walls which we had previously paid a professional to do. He turned a lumpy gritty wall into a work of heart. Everything we needed he provided. He offered ideas to help increase the value of our home. We were treated like family♥️♥️. I’m so appreciative of the final project and look forward to having Color Me Beautiful continue to make our home beautiful. I highly recommend! Reasonable priced, always on time, did additional work on areas that was in need, easy to talk with, took time to understand our vision and so much more. I’ve been burned before so it is a pleasure to write a positive review.

It went extremely well. They were friendly, nice, professional, priced right and did an amazing job!

I often recommend Color Me Beautiful to as many people as possible, this team delivers! Communication, speed of work, flexibility...they do an amazing job with all of our work. Highly recommend!
