see above -- fabulously
Description of Work: Mike has worked for us a number of times over the years. He was recommended by a neighbor, and it was a MOST valuable recommendation. Most recently he painted our house interior and did plastering over the Xmas holidays when we were out of town. The work was excellent, he kept in touch with me throughout the process, he texted me photos of before and after, and he had full access to the house for a month. His work is top quality. He also does exterior painting, and will be doing some work for us soon. He lives in the general neighborhood, so he is familiar with, and appreciates old houses. He is professional, courteous and always prompt. I recommend him without reservation.

Mike was great in every respect. Conscientious and meticulous - everything you want in a painter. He cleaned up every day and put new tape on walls and trim every day. Mike encouraged us to find problems so he could make necessary repairs on the spot. He also put us in touch with a paint specialist who helped us determine the best colors for our needs. I can recommend Mike without hesitation.

Michael Duff of Duff's Painting Co. is an excellent, carefu, responsible and scrupulous workman. He was reasonable in his proposal, and when he found problems not calculated in his proposal, he would point them out, repair nd replace them before painting. These problems included replacing rotted wood in the wood trim below the gutters and eaves and around the windows of the two sides and back of our two and a half story brick house and waterproofing the wooden back porch and steps leading from our first floor back door to the ground.I can recommend him unqualifiedly/

We were very happy with the services Mike provided. We feel the price he gave us was extremely reasonable and we will be very happy to hire him again in the future. We?ll also be happy to recommend him to friends and family.
Description of Work: Mike gave us a free estimate to repair the water-damaged plaster in our bedroom wall and then paint the wall after it was repaired. He also gave us an estimate to scrape the peeling paint in our bathroom and then paint the walls in that room. Mike was professional from start to finish. He arrived on time and was courteous and friendly. All this while he was faced with working all day listening to our howling beagle who does not like to be in her crate while my wife and I are at work. I don't know how he put up with it, but as far as I can tell his work did not suffer from this annoying experience. Mike spent two full days at our house plus an hour or so on a day in between when he returned to complete a bit more prep work he couldn’t do the first day. When my wife and I returned home at the end of Mike’s last day working, we found a beautifully repaired bedroom wall (and ceiling) plus a professionally painted bathroom that no longer dropped paint on our heads when we were trying to take a shower.

Mike was incredibly thorough in his work and wonderful to work with. He showed up when he said he would, he did everything he promised and more, and he offered good suggestions in terms of trim color and treatment. Our house has a lot of windows, and that number was essentially doubled because we had him do the outer and inner window frames. He worked diligently through the hottest days of the summer and the house looks great. I would absolutely hire him again.
Description of Work: Scraped, repaired, primed and painted all windows, doors and trim of our 1920s Craftsman-style brick bungalow. Stained newly-installed beadboards (installed by a different contractor.) Painted garage trim.

Mike worked for us before (in trying circumstances) and I undersold him in that report. I've hired several painters in my time and no one has been as good (and nice) as Mike. He helped us greatly by getting our deck ready for our daughter's second birthday party. It looked wonderfu, then, and still does now. My brother-in-law, who is quite handy, was wowed by the results.
Description of Work: Mike pressure-washed our deck, treated it, and stained it. The deck is about 20'x20'.

As a doctor and professor, I appreciate a thoughtful and timely approach. Mike began the process with a comprehensive assessment as to the nature and extent of the repairs needed. He then proposed a list of specific services, a time-line for completion, and a very, very, reasonable price. Upon agreement, Mike arrived (several days were needed) on time, every time, and provided the most professional (and clean) services I've ever experienced. After buying and selling almost a dozen homes - and after hiring literally dozens of contractors, this was, without a doubt, the best experience of them all - Thanks Mike!
Description of Work: Mike came out after we had a disastrous experience with another contractor. After assessing the situation, he performed drywall repairs, paint and caulking repairs, and stripped and stained our HUGE deck.

The experience was excellent. Mike Duff, the owner, is top notch and did a great job for us. It was some trying circumstances and he stuck through it. I didn't think the price was bad, it is definitely an instance of you get what you pay for. I would use them again without hesitation.

I would recommend Mike for any painting job...He moves right along doing the job ...easy to question and responsive.
Description of Work: Mike was very professional. Responded to my inquiry immediately and when I questioned how work would be done, etc. he was eager to explain and answer any of my questions. He completed the work in three days. Was patient and helpful when I was unsure of color to select. Did necessary caulking and prime work. Neat and cleanup was top notch. The powerwash of the siding was disappointing and his explanation was that the top two/three pieces underneath of wide overhang never get water and probably were never cleaned (25 year old house) soil was apparently embedded in the aluminum siding so did not come clean as I had hoped. However, I was inclined to go along with his explanation. I chose not to use him for cleaning the deck because I assumed (but not knowledgeable enough) that a powerwash company specializing in deck cleaning may have equipment better suited to that job. Absolutely no reflection on Mike's integrity and ability. Simply an equipment choice.

Thank you. The issue with your aluminum siding under the soffits seems to be a common issue with siding of that age. Yearly cleaning is recommended by most manufacturers to prevent build up on the surface and mildew. It was a pleasure working for you.

Mike's was the most reasonable estimate. He was also able to start right away: the week after he gave us an estimate. He painted the nursery two colors, and he touched up our poor paint job in the second bathroom...both at no extra charge. He spent a week at our house and did very good work. He made sure we were happy with everything, and he did a few additional touch ups when the carpet men dinged up the newly painted walls in the basement. We were very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: Mike did the mudding, taping, and sanding for a few new rooms in the basement. (We hung the drywall ourselves.) And he painted those three rooms, plus three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.

I called three painters to give a bid for my guest bathroom and Mike was the only one that responded in a timely fashion. He gave me a quick, reasonable estimate and performed the work the very next week (in time for Christmas). He also finished ahead of schedule which was very helpful to us during the busy holiday season. We were very pleased with the quality of his work and would recommend him highly.

We were very worried about lead dust flying due to the fact that our house is 100 years old and we have children. During our initial phone conversation, Mike carefully listened and then told me exactly how he was going to deal with it. First day he carefully covered all the areas and taped everything. He then carefully used the heat gun to remove the old paint - a very tedious process that most painters that I called said they don't do. He was also very careful about cleaning and vacuuming while he worked which we appreciated. The finished work as promised and it turned out great. Truly better than what we were expecting with our old house. We also asked him to paint the inside of the door which wasn't part of the original deal, he charged a bit extra but to be honest, I thought it was fair and would have not been surprised if it was much more. All in all I don't think we could have asked for a better painter - fair, honest, careful with great workmanship.
Description of Work: He stripped off old paint (the house is 1920 so who knows how many layers of paint we had!), carefully patched, and painted our outdoor entrance way. Also he was very careful about removing the old light fixture, door bell ringer, the flag pole holder, and the brass house number and then after finishing, carefully installed everything back - better than they were originally.

Mike Duff is an exceptional painter and person. His attention to detail and willingness to go that "extra mile" made it a pleasure to have him around. He was always punctual and professional. When the project began and he was removing the storm windows (which hadn't been washed in forever) I began to panic because my grandchildren were coming in one week for a visit. Mike made sure everything was ready to be put back in time for their arrival. As we were heading out for a day river floating my grandson noticed it was "dripping" from the ceiling in the kitchen (always a bad sign). We were so confident in Mike that we left him in charge for the plumber's visit knowing he would treat our house as if it were his own. I was sorry to have the project end but we are on his schedule for some interior ceiling repair and painting. I would definitely recommend Mike over any other painter!
Description of Work: Exterior painting of 2 1/2 story,100 year old house, including all 56 windows. All storm windows were removed so windows could be correctly painted. He even washed the exterior windows before replacing them!!

Duff painting provided meticulous,high quality cleaning and staining of our decks. The company was on time and respectful of all the owners property. When staining the deck he was careful to stain one board at a time so there was no over lap of stain which would have created dark areas.

As described above, Duff Painting completed the outside wood painting on my three story house (built in 1914). He meticulously avoided painting any windows - shut! (as a former painter did!) Preparation and clean-up was exemplary - with no paint drips anywhere.
Description of Work: This company completed the outside painting on my three-story home. The estimate was exactly the sum I paid. The work was extraordinarily well done and clean-up was totally complete. The owner, Michael Duff, is competent, courteous and totally reliable. A young, energetic and intelligent recent college graduate hoping to establish himself in the Saint Louis metropolitan area with his painting company.
