Response from Valentine Painting
I would like to verify that I, personally, do 4 to 5 estimates daily, for jobs both large and small, throughout the Charlotte metro area. I travel within a one hour radius to provide free estimates to my clients. Each client who has reviewed me on this list, aside from the gentleman listed above, can attest to this. I would like to apologize, however, if this client was left with the wrong impression from my first returned phone message. I had left two messages, offering my cell number for easy personal access, with this customer in an effort to touch base and arrange an estimate. In my first message, however, I did mention that it is an option to send photos of the cabinets and I would be happy to send them a bid that way. Apparently, I did not make it clear to them that this was just an option and that I personally prefer to meet in person. I did respond courteously same-day to their initial call and left my cell phone number to insure we were able to touch base. When I did not hear back, I politely reached out to them 3 days later. Despite leaving my cell phone number, I had never had the chance to meet or speak with this member in person. Regardless, when I received an upset text from this client on Saturday night, I was respectfully apologetic and took responsibility for the fact that they may have gotten the wrong impression in my original message. In addition, I made it clear that it was not my intention, that I am very interested in their business, and that I would appreciate the opportunity to provide an estimate at their convenience. Despite my clarification and apology for this miscommunication, this client did not take me up on this. I will certainly be sure to have direct conversations with clients to avoid any future miscommunication. I wish this member the best with their cabinet project. Sincerely, Jim Valentine

Description of Work: Highly professional. Their bid for both outside and inside painting of our 4500 sq foot home was within $50 of next bid for interior and about $1,300 higher on exterior. Total job was approximately $11,000. They are worth every dime. The quality of their work and the professionalism of Jim and his crew was exceptional. You will not be disappointed. They took great care to protect our furnishing and didn't mind one bit when we pointed out small areas that needed additional attention.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REPORT ON US! WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO COME BACK AND TAKE CARE OF SOME MINOR TOUCH-UPS FOR YOU. ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF FLAT PAINT IS THAT IT TOUCHES-UP NICELY. I WILL FOLLOW-UP WITH YOU PERSONALLY BY PHONE. THANKS AGAIN, JIM VALENTINE.

Easy to make an appointment. Jim Valentine made the first visit and was easy to talk to. He said that his wife does the painting so she would contact me to get the exact finish for the cabinets. He had samples of her work and pictures of kitchens that they had painted. Kelly then made a visit with Jim and she has a great eye. She understood the look we were wanting to achieve and picked out the wall paint for the kitchen. She took a cabinet to work on then brought it back a week later to see if it was exactly what we wanted. We made no changes because it looked great! The next week their team got started on our kitchen cabinets. The total work took 2 weeks (1 week longer than they told us) but it was worth it. We had to order two cabinet doors to close off a cabinet space but the doors didn't come in until a week after they finished our kitchen. Jim and Kelly worked on the doors without hesitation or asking for extra money. We were very pleased with their professionalism and work.

This report is for the exterior only, see Painting-Interior for that report. When they started, they worked six days a week for two weeks until the job was complete. Except for one half-day at the end, there were always a minimum of two people working all day and occasionally more than two people. They often worked until dark and they ate lunch on site. I always felt like my job was being given the attention it deserved and the quality of the work was excellent.
Description of Work: The exterior of the house is T1-11 siding and needed extensive preparation as did the windows and doors. They washed, scraped, caulked & primed where needed and applied two coats of solid stain to the body. The trim got bare wood primed and two coats of paint. Also included was stripping and refinishing a double set of ornate wood front doors and a newly built deck received an application of clear sealer. They also replaced some rotted wood.

They worked pretty much non-stop, six days a week for two weeks until the job was complete. Except for one half-day at the end, there were always a minimum of two people working all day, and occasionally more than two people. They often worked until dark, and they ate lunch on site. I always felt like my job was being given the attention it deserved, and the quality of the work was excellent. They did a very professional and workman like job.
Description of Work: This report is for the interior portion of the overall project. See Painting-Exterior also. This part was quite extensive and involved repairing cracks in the ceilings and walls, some extensive. It also included restoring areas of an old popcorn ceiling, priming, and two coats of paint. They also repaired the walls in a bathroom that had old wallpaper partially removed. They masked and draped everything and then put fixtures and cover plates back.

I looked on Angie's List and quickly had 4 companies scheduled to come by that Monday to give an estimate. Three companies provided written estimates, including Valentine Painting. Jim came in and listened to what I was describing, gave me great suggestions and ideas as we went along. I explained that my mom and grandma were coming into town that Thursday, so we really needed to have everything completed by then. Jim's estimate was directly in the middle, but we felt he would do the best job and would be done on time. Tuesday morning, he and his crew came out at 7:30am (our request) and got to work right away! Although they still had a little bit of touch up work to complete on Thursday, they did an EXCELLENT job and I have already referred Jim to our soon to be neighbor because of the high quality, professional work they completed. I would recommend Valentine Painting to anyone; we are VERY satisfied customers!
Description of Work: We were getting ready to put our house on the market and decided we really needed to paint the interior a nice "neutral" color, but needed it done on a tight deadline with high quality and for a good price. We had about 3000 sq. ft. painted (foyer, living room, master bedroom, dining room, hallways, ceiling and all trim).

I would never hire this company again in the future. Their quality of work was really bad and they had to come back out and repaint; this was the main problem that we had with this company. They came out twice to repaint; so in all it took them three times to get it right.
Description of Work: They painted about four rooms in the interior of our home.

Response from Valentine Painting
WE ACTUALLY PAINTED 6 ROOMS FOR THIS CLIENT. THERE WAS A LOT OF BACK-AND-FORTH ON THIS PARTICULAR JOB BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING CONSTRUCTION WORK DONE WHICH SOMETIMES INTERFERED WITH OUR WORK. WE ADDRESSED ALL OF THE CUSTOMER'S CONCERNS AND PARTED WITH THE CLIENT ON GOOD TERMS. WE WERE DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THIS CLIENT'S REPORT AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS THEY MIGHT STILL HAVE.

Valentine Painting returned our call quickly, scheduled an estimate and we received our quote for our job the day that Jim came out. They also assisted us in selecting colors, finish (including a faux) and the type of paint that we should use. Our project was scheduled promptly and we were surprised how quickly the job was done. We were so pleased with the outcome of the original project that we added the painting of the master bedroom and master bath. This project also went very smoothly and was completed quickly. We have worked with many painting contractors during our 25 year marriage and it was refreshing to have a contractor show up on time and thoroughly clean up when they finished. I consider myself a very picky customer and can easily state that Valentine Painting & Decorating Company is the best painter we have ever hired. We are 100% satisfied.
Description of Work: Valentine Painting painted our 3 hallway, 2 stairwells, kitchen, and master bath and painted the master bedroom with a beautiful faux finish that we were just delighted with. They repaired small areas and imperfections in the walls. In fact the owner was un-happy with the look of one of the newly painted walls because of the previous painting job and re-painted this area at no additional cost.

The house had just been painted and had a substandard job. I needed a quick turn around time for moving in a day. Jim was prompt & professional. His crew worked long days to meet my time line. The only sour note is the characteristics of the paint used. It is a flat latex that marks easily and a drop of water leaves a mark.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. AS A PRACTICE, WE TRY TO EDUCATE OUR CUSTOMERS REGARDING BOTH PAINT QUALITY AND FINISH. IN THIS CASE, WE CHOSE TO USE A FLAT PAINT TO CAMOUFLAGE SOME UNDERLYING STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT COULD NOT BE SOLVED WITH SPACKLE. UNFORTUNATELY, FLAT PAINT, EVEN OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY, IS NOT WASHABLE. ALTHOUGH MATTE AND EGGSHELL FINISHES ARE WASHABLE, THEY HAVE A SHEEN THAT MAGNIFIES STRUCTURAL IMPERFECTIONS. DUE TO THIS MISUNDERSTANDING, WE HAVE OFFERED OUR CLIENT A FREE TOUCH-UP.

The painters with Valentine Painting Company were on time every morning. They were professional, quick, and gentlemen, all! Very helpful with moving furniture and relocating other items to perform the job. The work was outstanding and the crew cleaned up after themselves daily, as well as when the job was complete. The owner, Jim Valentine worked well with us with our special needs. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.
Description of Work: We wanted a professional painting job for the interior of our home so we could put it on the market. This entailed walls, ceilings, closets, bathrooms, crown molding, and chair-rail for our 3100 sq ft home. The job took just over one week.

This company understands what customer service is all about. From conception to fruition the process went effortlessly for me. The crew showed up on time ready to start prep work. They took great care of and respect for my property while on premises. They cleaned up spotlessly after completion, the only thing left after they were done was a "beautifully painted home"! This was a project I kept putting off and putting off. Very pleased with Valentine Painting, even better, MY WIFE is pleasantly pleased as well.
Description of Work: My home was in dire need of a fresh and updated look. Paint was peeling and faded, gutters were mildewed, trim flaking... Valentine Painting Company painted the entire exterior of my home, trim and gutters. They totally exceeded my expectations!

Overall, it went very well and we are pleased with the outcome. Jim Valentine appreciated the requirements and complexities of the job and described exactly what would be done. The job was finished on time and at the price we were quoted. Although it seemed like a high quote, the actual painters spent several days doing thorough and careful work. Other painters, both Angie's List recommended and not, gave significantly lower estimates, but did not appreciate what the job required to be done correctly. Valentine Painting was not the highest bidder either. On inspection of the finished job Jim Valentine touched up some of the work, that he felt was necessary.

The service was performed in a very timely manner and met my expectations. Jim was very helpful in locating a specific type (no VOC) of paint and the exact colors that I wanted. The quote was in line to slightly less than several other contractors.
