Coco & Sons Painting & Home Improvement

This was our first experience having a house painted. After contacting several painting contractors we decided on Coco and Sons. Chris, the owner, responded quickly, delivered the bid personally, and made sure that all questions we had were answered. Masonry paint was recommended for the brick to protect our recently completed tuck pointing. The job was started and completed on time and not a penny over bid. I would recommend Coco and Sons to anyone in the future. Our neighbors have complemented the way our house looks since it was painted. I wish all contracting projects were this easy and pleasant.

Really terrific work. Had some rain delays, but when the weather cooperated they got the job done quickly and correctly.

They were absolutely amazing. They gave me the best bid and they were here Johnny on the spot. I would definitely recommend them. They were clean, they cleaned up, they kept me informed about what they were doing, and they let me know if any boards were rotting. The workers were super and it was a wonderful experience. They were here every single day and they were very professional. I tell everyone about them, especially because I love small businesses.

It took a little while for Chris to get us an estimate, but he was in touch to tell us he hadn't forgotten about us. The company had to wait a bit while we had our gutters replaced and they were cooperative. They did a thorough job prepping the house, applying primer and paint. They were substantially more expensive than some other bids, but they also seemed to do more prep work than other companies. My only quibble with them is that they missed a few spots and got some paint on the bricks around the doorways. Other than that, fine job. Chris called after the job was finished to tell us to call if we had any problems or if there were spots that needed touch-up. Overall, the company seems very responsible and professional.

They showed up on time - no problem there. I waited for a quote and never got one. I see in previous reviews that they say this might happen from time to time. So I gave them another chance. I called the receptionist to remind them I was waiting for a quote and she said she would look into it. Didn't get anything after that. Needless to say, I can't rate them highly.

I called and asked for an estimate. The receptionist said I think that's too far to drive. I'll ask and call you back. She didn's call back. I live in St. Charles county which was listed as one of their areas.

We hired Coco and Sons Painting to paint the exterior trim of our 3-story home and detached garage. Overall, we are very pleased with the quality of work and results we received. Chris Coco was prompt in getting us a thorough cost estimate. Chris and his crew completed the entire job in the amount of time they had estimated. The final cost did not change from the original estimate even though they ended up repairing some wood and caulking some areas. They also applied an extra coat of paint in some areas where needed. None of these ?extra? items were added to the cost. Chris and his crew were efficient, knowledgeable, and courteous. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a professional house painter.

quick and simple job, could hardly tell they'd been there except for the nicely painted guttering and trimwork. They started the job around 8:30am and were gone by the time I'd returned home from work at 5:00 or so. We provided the paint that was left over from the bigger job they'd done for us previously. Looks nice.

We thought Chris knew alot about differrent paints and stains. The job was handled very professionally. We are pleased with the results. I have had neighbors stop and comliment the job.

excellent -- good work ethic, made sure job done right

Coco and Sons were wonderful to work with. They arrived on time and completed the job in a timely manner. I've worked with other painting companies, but Chris and his sons are better. Chris quoted me a price for the job and not an hourly rate. The last company with whom I contracted quoted me a price by the hour, and they ran over. (Surprise! Surprise!)

Although a person from this company called and I described the problem on the phone, they did not set a time to visit and assess the situation. Then someone came to the house when I was not home, opened the latch to the back yard and looked around. They left a card in the mailbox but did not try to contact me. I just could not believe someone I didn't know would have the nerve to show up unexpected and open the gate and enter my back yard.

Very fast, efficient, and professional. I will use them again in the future.

Very well. Crew consisted of owner and four sons. The group worked well together, were very courteous, efficient and accommodating. They were willing to do anything to make the job go smoothly. They were careful with their work and our furnishings. Very professional. Would definitely use again. It went so well, I gave a bonus at the end of the job!

Chris and his sons were very responsive, from our initial call all the way through the project. They were also friendly without being intrusive. Most importantly, they performed the work as they had promised, even doing a few bits above and beyond. Overall an outsanding experience.

This was supposed to be a simple exterior paint job with a few shingle replacements. However, the job ended up being much more extensive than we or Chris planned as when he removed some rotted shingles along the front porch of the house he discovered there was extensive water damage to some of the supporting boards on the deck. Chris added this to the quote and got right to work replacing the supports and boards on the porch. Doing this work involved his delaying the start of work with subsequent customers but Chris did what it took to get the work that was needed done and with high quality. On the second to last day we discovered one of the paints we'd selected didn't quite look the way we wanted. So Chris helped us choose another and put it on with no additional charge.

I have to say this was one of the most pleasant experiences I have had working with a painting company. They were very responsive and did a very good job. After they painted the garage, there was a slight difference in color between the garage door and the trim so they painetd thegarage door at no extra charge. I highly reccomend this company.

They were prompt with their estimate, pleasant, clean and mannerly and arrived each morning around 8am to start their day. They primed and painted two coats of quality paint at a cost below two other reputable bids we'd received. They were careful of my clay tile roof, and vacuumed paint chips from the yard after the first powerwash and scrape, cleaning everything nicely. They did a few things extra at no cost, and also did some wood repair of a damaged tongue-in-groove soffit area and re-screened a couple of window screens, also fixing the wooden frame. When they left for the day there was very little evidence they'd been there, no paint drips, and their materials were stashed neatly in one area. Also, they willingly returned the next day after they finished the job to do a bit of spot work we noticed needed touchup. Everything looks so nice now and the paint job appears to be tight and trim. I am thoroughly pleased with the quality of their work, their workmanship and the price. It was nice to see a family working so well together, too.

Gave us bid. Had to wait until new roof was installed before starting painting. Chris and 4 sons did all of the work. Very friendly and arrived on time each day. Overall took 5 days to paint. Had to wait a couple of weeks for custom shutters to arrive. They were installed in 1/2 day and final cleanup completed.

We were impressed with Chris right from the beginning. He went out of his way to help us, with our color choices, our roof, some rotting soffit panels..... His sons are real professionals too! They were a pleasure to have around, polite and accomodating - and our house looks gorgeous!

The fron of my house was painted fairly well. The back was not. I was rather surprised at how much paint was dripped on my wood deck and not cleaned off. I have a fair amount of touch-up to do myself.

Chris came out and gave me an estimate within 48 hrs of contacting his company. He explained everything they would be doing. He also informed me of what would be done if any rotten wood was found and what my options were as far as wood replacement materials, i.e. vinyl. A few days after the bid was accepted I came home to find they had started the job. The job was completed within 3 days and they did a great job with the clean up. The house looks great and I will be contacting them in the future for more painting jobs.

We were completely satisfied with the work, from the original walk-around with Mr Coco, to the estimate, timeliness, and quality of the work. There were some extraneous splashes of paint left behind, and a little trash, but this was minimal and we would certainly use these painters again--and are considering doing so when we have some of the interior painted.

This was a positive experience from start to finish. They had to do the job under difficult weather conditions because although they gave us the estimate on October 17, we weren t able to confirm the contract until November 12, but then we couldn t wait to have the work done until spring because of a deadline from the city s building code department (the unprimed old paint was peeling off in sheets). They started the job on the first day that weather allowed and were out at our house every day that the weather allowed. Also, because we have a lot of clutter, they sometimes had trouble getting to the window interiors, but they were unfailingly good-humored. It was really strange for us to be inside at home when they were scraping the paint we felt like giant squirrels were attacking the house! but their professional attitude set us at ease. Reasons for costs over the estimate: The extra was replacing the large glass panel on the front door; this had broken a few years ago, and we had patched it with wood; Mr. Coco installed high-quality tempered glass. The mistake we made was our color choice. We picked a green that ended up being much brighter than what we d envisioned it made our house look like a Lincoln Log toy! After part of the house had been painted and we realized our mistake, Mr. Coco found a stock Benjamin Moore color that matched our new custom color choice, so he saved us as much money as possible. He handled this perfectly he strongly gave his professional opinion that the first color wasn t our best choice, but when we insisted, he cheerfully did what the customer wanted. Then when we changed our mind, he made things work. Now our house is painted in a vibrant forest green which is not in-your-face but still looks quite striking against the dark red brick. Mr. Coco answers all questions thoroughly and courteously, whether in person, on the phone, or via email. He really knows his materials and explained to me in layman s terms about the different qualities of the different paints and colors. I always felt comfortable talking with him and his sons about the work in progress. I d never before contracted to have such extensive and expensive work done on my house (even replacing the roof was cheaper) so choosing the right contractor was traumatic. Mr. Coco s estimate was so much lower than two others I had received from well-respected painters one a couple of years ago, one requested simultaneously with his estimate that I asked him to clarify point by point whether his estimate included all the same work. It did. After seeing the beautiful results on our house, I can t imagine any significant improvement in quality that would be covered by the huge difference in price. My whole family is very happy with the way our house looks and the way the work was carried out.

They caught me by surprise when they called to start the job, but it was not a problem. They were very, very thorough and did a really good job. It took two workers about a week; they power washed and thoroughly scraped down all the exterior woodwork, and painted it.
