Valentine Painting

It went wonderfully. Jim, while not the cheapest game in town went out of his way to put me at ease. He explained why the service would cost more than his competitors, and boy was it evident in the work. The day his crew showed up there were holes in the garage walls that weren't there during the estimate from an electrical installation. Rather than just paint as he originally planned he offered to first fix the holes and then paint over everything. Same charge. The crew was done with everything in one day and Jim came by a day later to inspect everything. Once inspected he pointed out some flaws that he spotted and sent one of the crew back the following day to fix it. A wonderful experience!

Excellent job from start to finish: Promptly responded to initial call and came within a day to give estimate Proposed what we both agreed needed to be done; suggested not doing another area for 2-3 years since it didn't need it Start was delayed by many rain showers this spring, but he kept us informed of schedule as it changed Did quality work on both washing and staining Workers were neat, quiet, disciplined, and performed well Cleaned up at end of each day and when completed Replaced all benches, hanging plants, grill, etc. Checked to see that everything was completed to our satisfaction This is our first time using Jim Valentine's service, and we'll certainly call him when we have need for further deck maintenance and painting in several years.

They were really excellent in their service. A few weeks after they came out, I called them because we had some cracking on the ceiling with the angles and they came out and repaired it. They're good when it comes to responding and they clean up after themselves. I would definitely use them again if I need additional painting.

Excellent service. Very professional. Did all work for great price. I would recommend them to anyone.

It went great. Amazing attention to detail

They are the most fabulous company I have ever worked with. Jim and his team were great, polite and clean. They went above and beyond anything I could have expected them to do. Not only did they paint what we contracted for, they touched up all of my rooms that I was painting on my own. They painted far more than contracted and repaired some taping on the wall and prepped everything. I can't say enough great things about them and wish I could find a company like them at my new location.

We found out about Jim from some friends of ours who had a great experience with Jim's team and asked him to come out and estimate a very large 2 story transitional foyer with lots of trim, a need for multiple coats on ceiling and walls, and a number of nail heads and dings to repair. Jim was on time for the estimate appointment, clearly knowledgeable of professional painting practices, a trait not shared by many other estimators we have worked with in estimating this work, and provided (for the work involved) a fair price with good materials as well. Jim is very effective in communicating timeframes for the work, followup on schedule, and his team showed up, to a man, right on time. Jim is one of the few painters we have worked with who really understands professional painting and how to deliver results. Jim's crew works very hard, is clearly one of the more experienced we have seen in Charlotte, and produced great results and did precisely, plus a little more, than we had agreed in the estimate. The crew worked well together and produced a very good result on the first effort which we really appreciated after a couple of very disappointing results with another painter. A review of the work after completion showed what can only be thought of as couple of minor issues and a few more found by Jim on his inspection. These were quickly corrected the same day. After our recent bad experiences with a local company who used subcontracted, inexperienced, and dishonest crews and extremely long punch lists, this was such a breath of fresh air it was outstanding in our opinion. Jim is highly recommended in our opinion.

Jim Valentine is a delightful person to work with. He is prompt and professional, and his team does excellent work. We called Jim to get an estimate for the paint job and after an on-site inspection and discussion with him we settled on painting all rooms except the ceilings, which didn't need painting. The job took two days, and Jim was there again for the walk through when the job was finished. We noticed that the ceiling in the hall had been painted, which was not in the contract. Jim had it painted anyway, at NO CHARGE, because, he said, there was a spot that needed touching up and the touched up area up didn't look quite right with the older paint on the ceiling. That's the kind of attention to detail and professionalism we got with Jim. He also had his men scrape old paint spots off the bathroom tile where the previous owners had not been careful when they painted the walls. That was not part of the contract either, but it again reflects the professional approach and attention to detail that Jim and his crew do. We are completely happy with the job they did and we will not only use his services again, but we recommend him with enthusiasm.

Valentine painting showed up on schedule with a 6 man crew. They began work on both the vanities and front door. Front door was removed and entrance was sealed. Sinks and associated hardware were removed. Both doors and vanities were sanded down to bare wood and stain was applied. They returned the following day and applied the first application of polyurethane. They came back later in the day and sanded. The next day they repeated the process and painted the hallway. The vanities and front door look new. I could not be more satisfied. The painting was very satisfactory and done neatly. I think what made the biggest difference was their responsiveness to two minor problems which arose. The weatherstripping made the front door very difficult to close/lock. They returned the next day and corrected the issue. Also, they chipped a stone on the steps which they also repaired quickly and professionaly. Jim Valentine was a pleasure to work with.

The whole crew did a great job. They even washed the windows upon completion of the job.

We were so impressed with Valentine painting from the very first meeting until the job was complete. Mr. Valentine was prompt, courteous, and provided us with a written estimate of the charges. When he and his crew arrived to make the repairs they were on-time, and again very courteous. They showed attention to detail in everything they did. The wall looks amazing; no one would ever be able to tell it had been re-painted. The quality of work on the door jam was equally superior. Furthermore, I was impressed at the attention to detail in covering everything nearby to prevent any paint spray. Clearly, I would use them for future projects, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of painting services.

My experience with Jim Valentine and his crew was completely positive, from start to finish. Jim answered my initial phone message promptly and arranged to provide an estimate. I was having rooms painted as a surprise for my family, so I was somewhat restricted on when the work could take place, but Jim was flexible and helped me to keep the surprise. The job included painting two large bedrooms and the bathroom in between, including ceilings, walls, and trim. The crew stayed late, but they completed the project in a single day, and the work was beautiful, with great attention to detail. Several weeks after they had completed the job, I began to wonder if the ceiling in the bathroom had actually been painted, because it looked darker to me than the others. Jim answered my message within minutes and sent his supervisor immediately to check on the work. They were very gracious about demonstrating that I was wrong; the dark ceiling was simply a result of the different light conditions in the room. I know that if there had been a problem with their work, it would have been addressed on the spot!

Jim and his team did an amazing job. All involved were always punctual, clean and courteous. They thought through the order of rooms painted so as to make life in the house as normal as possible. It was a minimal inconvenience to have the entire interior of our house painted. The estimate was beyond reasonable now that I have worked with them and know the quality of work that is provided. My husband said that it is the best paint job we have had in a home and we have remodeled several homes. Jim does a final inspection of all the work done and his team corrects anything that he feels needs to be improved. I will be using Valentine Painting for any touch ups and exterior work we need to have done in the future.

Both my wife and I were extremely pleased with the Valentine Painting Company. They were able to complete 7 rooms in our house in one day. The painting crew of 5 was extremely professional. Jim Valentine, the owner, showed up at the beginning of the day with his crew promptly at 8:15 a.m. and reviewed with the painting crew chief what needed to be done. The crew took great care in ensuring that the proper preparation work was done before the painting started. They carefully removed all wall-hangings and moved the furniture making sure that all items in such furniture as bookshelves and dressers were properly secured from any damage. They even removed a stair railing to allow them to paint the 2nd floor hall stairway. The crew was courteous, quiet, and professional. They took instructions very well and were quick to make appropriate adjustments during the day to ensure that all of the homeowners instructions and needs were met. 12 gallons were required to complete the job. 10 gallons were purchased and mixed by the owner in advance of the job and 2 gallons were purchased by the painting crew during the day so that all walls had two properly applied and properly dried coats of paint. The job was completed in its entirety by 6:00 p.m. and all wall-hangings were put up and all furniture that was moved was put back in place. Jim came back at the end of the day and did a full home inspection to ensure that the job was completed not only to the homeowners specifications but also to his high standards. My wife and I would definitely use Valentine Painting again and would gladly recommend them to anyone. They completed the job from start to finish in one day which was a big plus since it was less disruptive on the homeowners. They did an excellent job at an affordable price

I had Valentine Painting paint my interior in the past. This year we decided to redecoorate and update our colors, so we had Jim and his crew back again. We also needed to have some water damage repaired on the ceiling of one room. I had a few estimates beforehand and found them to be in line with two other bids. My wife and I went away over Christmas while the work was being done. We returned to find that the crew was just putting the finishing touches on a great job. Jim was meticulous in looking over the work and found touch-ups that we might not have noticed on our own. He helped us pick ourcolors and we couldn't have been happier. Most importantly, aside from the smell of fresh paint, you would not have known that we just had work done. Everything was back in its place and our home was left spotless. Jim also painted trim and shutters on the outside of our house. He power washed our siding and go rid of all of the mildew. His foreman pointed out some rotted wood on our trim that needed to be replaced. Overall, we were very satisfied with the quality and value of the service this company provides. They are experts in their field and I would highly recommend them.

Very responsive, but estimates were inflated.

Jim came over and gave me a quote. He described the whole process and we set up a date to perform the service.

A team of six painters showed up move all the furniture, draped everything and worked painting 10 hours a day for 4 days to get the job done. They were very professional and responsive to our needs. Jim Valentine showed up to get the team started and near the end he came and inspected the work, correcting any areas he felt needed to be corrected. After the job was completed they moved the furniture back into place.

It was excellent. They are a very good firm. I enjoyed working with them. They made it very easy to still live our home while they were working. I got many bids, and their price was very competitive.

we needed to take wallpaper down in our kitchen and didnt want to tacle such a large job ourselves. Got a few estimates through Angies List and hired Valentine ( Jim) painting. Jim spent alot of time prior to the job helping us with color choices and especially finishes for the paint. We picked a date that would work for all of us, and they arrived early the first day and got to work stripping that old wallpaper. I will comment that they particularly careful about sheeting off the areas so dust would not be through my entire house. My husband was at the house during the job I was working. When I got home late that first day, the entire kitchen was stripped, there was not one piece of dust dirt or debris anywhere . ( and this was the just the prep job They had taken down the sheeting ( we have cats) so we didn't have angle around it for the evening. The next day bright and early they came back and worked a 12 hours day to finish it up. I have gotten a lot of compliments on the color and the work.....I tell everyone Valentine Painting! they did what they said they would within the time frame, truly a good job and no mess through my house

They were really thorough, neat and clean.

I strongly recommend Valentine Painting. If you want a good price with quality work, these are the people to do the job.

Jim arrived 10 minutes late for the estimate but did call to let us know. Once he arrived, he didn't seem interested in the job and went right to work providing the estimate without allowing us to provide much info. He took a total of 10 minutes to look over the area and provided an estimate. When we began going over our list of question, he was short and not willing to answer them, so we let him leave since he didn't really seem to want to be there any way.

I am very pleased with the work done by Jim and his crew. The house is now in excellent conditions and looks great. Jim was very easy to work with. I called for an estimate and he was able to come out within a couple of days of my call. He arrived on time, thoroughly examined the house, and prepared an estimate. He was able to schedule the job in less than two weeks of my accepting his proposal. The work was begun promptly on the day scheduled and completed when Jim said it would be. During the process, Jim was very good with communication, promptly returning calls and keeping me apprised of the progress. I obtained two other estimates through Angie's List and was pleased with their response and estimates. Jim's estimate was somewhat higher than the others, but his proposal seemed to be more thorough and I thought provided a better value for what I was paying. I would highly recommend Valentine Painting to my friends. Jim was punctual, communicated well regarding the project and the work was excellent and completed in a timely manner.

Working with Jim and his team is a shining example of getting what you pay for. Their employees are professional, on time, very careful, easy to work with and above all, deliver an exemplary product. The walls and ceiling in my upstairs study were damaged by a water leak from the upstairs heat pump. Jim's team did a beautiful job in making it all disappear and I am totally satisfied with the results. My master bedroom and bathroom is beautiful and I am very pleased with my renovations. Jim helped me select the color and it is perfect. While I realize Valentine Painting may be slightly higher than some other companies, they are well worth the few extra dollars. The team makes sure the walls are smooth and perfect before they start and they have the right equipment and experience to make sure the application of paint is done correctly. When everything is finished, Jim inspects the work himself and makes sure it not only meets my expectations, but his as well. I completely recommend Valentine Painting and I will be using them again.
