Not well. In general, the painting was sloppy. Globs of paint were found around the trim work. Spackle was not sanded full smooth and then painted over, leaving the walls not looking smooth. Paint was splash on the cabinets, door handles and hardware, and floors. They left debris in every room that they worked in that we had to clean. They also put chalk between the ceiling and cabinets in the kitchen when it wasn't asked for and when it looked terrible, the owner removed it and scraped the ceiling significantly, then had to be asked to fix his mess. In the end, that area looked worse than it did before the job. This is not a company that respects your house and puts care into their work to make your house better.
Description of Work: Painted the upstairs hallway, stairwell, and entry room (walls, ceiling, and trim work) and the kitchen and laundry room ceilings.

Response from JT Lawler Inc
When we came in the last day, the custoner pointed out a couple of issues which we corrected. He inspected everything, gave me a check and thanks me for our work. There was no indication of any other issues, nor did I see anything out of the ordinary. We strive for customer satisfaction, and our other reviews testify to our success in achieving that objective. I’m sorry we apparently fell short this time.

If you’re looking for precision painting with old school craftsmanship coupled with an obsession for quality and a caring “pride of work” attitude look no further than JT Lawler. I have used Jeff in the past and recently for my kitchen area. Just some observations about his work; many painters rush the prep stage and go right for the rollers and brushes - not Jeff. Knowing that the prep is just as important as the painting, Jeff and his team not only carefully protect the work area but meticulously search out areas in need of sanding, spackle or caulk. Using high quality lighting they correct these areas first and then apply the paint doing so carefully and slowly assuring that there are no issues with the smoothness and consistency of the coverage and in the process frequently linking back to assure nothing is less than the highest quality. And even following that another inspection is conducted! That kind of perfection is indeed rare! And to top it all his prices are more than reasonable. Needless to say Jeff gets my highest recommendation plus he is personable and a pleasure to work with.

Jeff and his crew were outstanding. They arrived promptly, prepared each room before painting and painted five rooms and two hallways in 2 1/2 days. They were friendly, very neat and my condo looks fabulous. Couldn’t have asked for more. I would highly recommend Jeff and his crew and would definitely hire them again, should the need ever arise. Thanks Jeff and crew ~ great job!!

I would highly recommend JT Lawler Inc. for painting your house. We received immediate service from this professional company. The estimate was fair and prompt and the work was performed within the week. The painters were on time, worked diligently and finished the whole job in one day. They also cleaned after performing their service. Could not be happier.

Jeff and his team are professional from start to finish. An accurate quote was provided prior to starting the job, the team arrived on time, and they finished the job in one day (repairing, prepping, and painting bedroom walls, ceiling, and trim). The team cleaned up after themselves and the paint job looks fantastic. I'm sure you could find someone to do the job at a cheaper rate, but I know that the workmanship would not be the same. We have used them for a couple of interior paint jobs, and I will absolutely use them again.

Jeff and his team were amazing to work with!! Jeff is extremely responsive which was so helpful. The house we had just bought had been recently painted but we did not like the colors, and he was honest with us about certain rooms that did not need the ceilings painted. They truly want to do right by the customer. We felt more than comfortable with them in our house. They do an excellent job painting and clean up after themselves! Extremely professional and will most definitely hire them again for future jobs. Could not recommend them enough!!

He and his team were excellent, all seasoned pros, and very pleasant to have in the home. The work was flawless, on time and exactly as advised. The price was very reasonable (and much less than several less professional companies who also bid on the project). 5 stars!

Working with JT Lawler Painters was one of the best experiences I've had with a service contractor beginning to end. The quality of their work was superb and reflected true craftsmanship from prep to paint. The entire team were extremely professional, responsive, and attentive. They worked hard to complete the project six days ahead of schedule! You may be able to find a cheaper painter, but you won't find better value.

Jeff was very knowledgeable and had a lot of experience with market prep so he was perfect for this job. He provided a very reasonable and detailed estimate and patient with answering any questions I had. He even provided some suggestions and, when I asked about other services (glass replacement, house cleaning) he provided reference and contact information that same day, as promised. His crew even replaced the a couple of the door stops where needed, so as not to mess up the new paint job. They finished on time and for the price quoted upfront, no surprises.

Jeff and his team were amazing. They are truly experts and craftsmen that really care about the kind of job they are doing in your home. The whole team was very respectful of our home and our schedules and they were very neat and thorough each day. They were all genuinely concerned about the quality of the job and the overall look when it was completed, and they offered expert opinions and advice for all of my questions. They also followed up with us to make sure we were happy with the work and that nothing was missed and they provided instructions and tips on how to take care of all painted surfaces.

I've used JT Lawler for several interior paint projects including two whole home jobs.

They delivered a quality work product on time and were extremely careful around our new cabinets and appliance. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Jack from JT Lawler handled the entire painting job of our sunroom. Jack was on time very professional and did an excellent painting job. Jack repaired a small crack in the ceiling and nail holes prior to painting. He made a recommendation to paint the baseboard and we appreciated his advice and it made the job complete. I would recommend JT Lawler LLC to my family and friends and will use in the future.

The work performed was flawless, and the crew left the house completely clean - no dust, debris, random trash - nothing.

We met with Jeff and found him to be very knowledgeable and professional. His quote was competitive and very detailed. He was very responsive to questions we had after meeting. Unfortunately, we ran out of money in our construction budget and were unable to hire painters to paint the inside of our house. But Jeff was great. He provided us with lots of tips and pointers to help us in tackling the project. We plan on eventually painting the exterior of our home in the future and I would not hesitate to hire him for the job.

I really like Jeff. As soon as I met him, his voice puts you at ease. If the paint business ever dried up he needs to work in radio. Anyway, I think I asked one other company for a quote and Jeff won for not only coming in lower but also sounding like he knew what he was talking about. We were working simultaneously with a flooring company and within a narrow time frame before our move. He accomplished everything that was promised, except one 4"x6" patch I noticed on my ceiling a year later. Don't worry, I took care of it Jeff. But most precious to me was when I was having a pickle of a time with the floor people to complete their end, Jeff called in some backup for them (I think it was the baseboard installation) and got it done by the time I needed it done. It wound up costing him money in some way (I can't remember exactly how; sure he could tell you), but he really did me a solid. So all in all, hire Jeff. He is rock solid, tall, has a soothing voice, reasonably priced and does a good job.
