Vandermark & Son Painting

HOA insisted the house be re-painted, since I did not get permission ahead of time, and chose an "unsuitable" color. So, Vandermark Painting actually painted my house twice, tho the first time was only 1 coat, thank goodness. I was too upset to select a color, so Mr. Vandermark selected 5 shades for me to chose from. Everything went well other than the HOA kerfluffle. I DID leave a positive review at the time, I don't know what happened to it.

Quick response; reasonably pricing for the amount of work to do; excellent preparation, priming, painting, and follow-up; and outstanding communication on all phases of the job. Wow! I forgot there are still professionals like this.

Excellently. Contractor showed up when he said.

These projects went very well, and would recommend him and his crew. They were professional every time and worked extremely well together.

My house was in bad shape..should have probably been painted 5 years ago! Kirk was prompt for estimates and finished the project in a timely fashion. His help was also dependable and pleasant to work with. It was apparent that his workers had worked with him for awhile as they too were prompt and all seemed to work well together. They worked weekends in order to get the job done. The window trim is all stained wood and required a lot of tedious work. The final result was fabulous. When they were done with the job everything was left clean...no scattered paint anywhere, trash, lunch debris, etc as I have seen with other people that have done work for me. I was totally satisfied. I have a detached garage that I could not afford to paint at this time; however I will definitely have Kirk and his crew back in the spring to paint the detached garage.

Kirk doesn't give detailed written bids, but gives verbal detailed quotes. He answers all questions and concerns and is true to his word. He and his crew always returned calls promptly, started work on time and did a very careful and thorough job. The job involved scraping, prepping and painting some very old southern exposure eaves, as well as having to paint up high. We're very happy with how the building looks now!

From beginning to end Kirk was great about communicating; showed up when he said they would or called if there would be any delay. The house is a 27 year old tract home that hadn't been painted in 13 years and looked it. It took a great deal of scraping prepping which Kirk worked on alone the first 3 days. He offered to work through the weekend even though one guy would be out of town but I asked them to come back Monday & take all the time they needed. Monday Saul & Delfino showed up too, & continued the prepping and also did the painting. These guys really know their job and were very approachable with questions I had and helpful with last-minute decisions. The paint job turned out SWEET! My friends across the street had been watching to make sure they did everything right and told me they'd sprayed it & rolled it like it should be done. When the painters left my friends came over and checked it out up close and gave it the thumbs up too. I had asked for bids through Angies list from 3 contractors other than Kirk a week before. Due to a review that said the reviewer got no response at all from Vandermark I thought he was probably too busy so I didn't persue them. Only one painter responded that afternoon and came the next day to give an estimate. He is also very highly rated on here and I was very inclined to hire him but friends advised to get more bids first. The 2 other contractors I attempted to contact had only a few reviews here but they were favorable and these contractors also have impressive websites. When Kirk responded quickly and came in with a lower bid than the first guy I had to go with him. No regrets at all. These guys will take good care of your piddly old tract house & make you love it again.

I'd have to say that Kirk Vandermark provided exactly what i was looking for. He was punctual, he provided an estimate, his work is great, and the cost was exactly as estimated. If I have additional painting requirements I wouldn't hesitate to again use his services.

we were very very please with the the overall work done ,everything was done to our satisfaction.

I could not be happier with the paint job. They also removed and reinstalled lighting fixtures and took away old and broken gutters. Wow!

LIke I said - this guy is awesome! In my opinion, I now have the prettiest house on the block!

. Mr. Vandermark answered my request for an estimate quickly. He arrived precisely when he said he would. We asked for estimates on more than one area of the house which he provided separately for our benefit. Mr. Vandermark discussed the amount of paint he would need, offered to pick it up for me if I wanted but left that choice to me. I felt very comfortable talking with him about what we wanted to see. At different stages of completion he checked in to see that we were happy with the color, talked about the need to cover the house well since it was so dry, even, took down some wasp nests for us. Mr. Vancermark's crew asked if they could come early and arrived at 7 AM, working until nearly 6 pm, stopping only for water and a light lunch. They were always pleasant and kept an eye out for our children if they escaped into the back yard (as 3 year olds will do!). Once the job was finished, the crew cleaned up quickly. We love our the house and it took a huge burden off our minds to have it done and looking very professional. Our house wasnt in great shape so it took a little more paint than originally estimated, but it is well-covered (MUCH BETTER than it had been painted orignally). Good job, lovely neat work, pleasant people. Happy family!

I received a call back from (I assume the owner) who said he would be out to give me an estimate the following week as he was busy in the opposite side of town. We agreed he would come out on Mon, Tuesday at the and then hung up without even asking for my address. I figured I would hear back from him prior to the day but no follow up call and he never showed up. No call, no message explaining him not showing up !!!! I wasted an entire week waiting for someone that was rated the highest here on Angie's List.

I contacted Kirk Vandermark in the Fall of 2011 to discuss painting our house and to get a quote. The bid was lower than I had expected. Based on both our schedules and the onset of freezing weather, we decided to hold off until the Spring of 2012. We got back in touch in early May and set a time to do the work. Kirk arrived right on time the first day and later introduced me to the crew that he has working for him. The job was going to take a week to 10 days and we discussed their work schedule so I could make sure they had access each day. As the job began, Kirk felt he going to need to do a lot more replacement of old trim than he had originally thought. I agreed. After I saw all the additional work he had found to be necessary, I was pretty sure I was going to end of paying more than the original figure. But, Kirk stuck to the original bid. The job took about 2 more days than scheduled, due to the extra repairs needed. But, when it was done, our house looked brand new. The crew was friendly and they were hard workers. When they left each day, everything was put away and they left the work area clean. Kirk did a better job than I had expected and better than the original painter did when the house was built. It was a great experience overall and Kirk was a pleasure to work with.

If you need a professional to paint your house, hire Kirk Vandermark, and you will be extremely pleased with the results. I have a house that is 14 years old, 2300 square feet, and still had the original exterior paint. It was in desperate need if painting. The wood had become dry and the paint was peeling off in the areas directly exposed to the sun. I knew that this was going to be a major project. In addition to a paint job, I also needed to have some of the wood trim replaced, caulking for the windows and other areas in the siding, as well as additional minor repair work all around. Knowing that I needed an expert painter with carpentry and handy man skills I used Angie's List to provide me with information regarding painting companies in my area. I ended up choosing five painters and proceeded to get estimates and referrals from their customers. I ended up choosing Kirk Vandermark for the job. Kirk provided me with a prompt estimate, and spent a good deal of time walking around the house and explaining what work would be required in addition to the painting. From project start to finish, Kirk was extremely professional and informative. He would respond promptly to my phone calls and text messages, and always explained everything clearly. My entire house was pressure washed. All warped and split trim was replaced, and Kirk rebuilt portions of the wood fencing surrounding my front door entry deck. Kirk used excellent material, and matched the colors of the house, trim, and accent very well. The house was completely primed by spraying, and all seams were caulked. The second coat of paint was applied by roller and brush. My front door entry deck was stained with weatherproofing stain (this was not included in the original estimate, but Kirk did it anyway). Kirk also replaced the external lighting fixtures for me with new lights that I purchased. Kirk's entire crew conducted themselves in exactly the same way that Kirk did. They were extremely professional, courteous, friendly, and always ready to explain what they were doing. It was a pleasure interacting with them. Kirk and his entire crew take pride in their work, and the end result shows it. Kirk finished the project on time and on budget. When the project was completed, my house looked brand new. I am so pleased with the way Kirk painted my house that not only will I use him for any additional painting that I may need, exterior or interior, but I will also be first in line to recommend him to anyone looking for a professional painting company. If you choose Vandermark & Son Painting for your painting project, you will be very satisfied with the result.

Kirk provided an estimate promptly, returned emails and phone calls, completed the job promptly. He identified issues with the initial window installation (failure to tape around flange required to ensure water tightness), and repaired this and replaced trim. Uses good materials, matches color very well. Highly recommended, superior to the three other painters we have used over the past 8 years.

They had painted my house several months prior and I had some work on the fences and the deck that I wanted to have them do after seeing the stellar non-painting carpentry type work they had done in addition on the previous job. Before they came back, we had a big windstorm and in addition to the smaller section of picket fence I wanted repaired, another large section was blown down. So, I had them repair that as well. The fence was then stained to match the previous work done when the house was painted. Kirk and Company also did repair work on my wooden deck, stained it, and replaced a rotten wood path from my concrete patio to the wooden deck with nicely executed pavers. Again, excellent, courteous, extensive work at reasonable price for the amount done. I will be having them back as the restoration work on the house continues!

The project proceeded quickly and professionally. I could not be happier with the speed, quailty and end result. I would highly recommend Vandermark Painting.

Working ten to twelve hours every day, seven days a week (no kidding!) they completed the entire job in two weeks. That was all three weeks ago as I write this, and I continue to be impressed with the quality of their work. The house looks like a brand new home inside with a lovely "Ivorie" color throughout accented by a lighter color trim. Prior to selecting Vandermark & Son I did the right thing and got three bids. Theirs was not the lowest, but it wasn't the highest either and I was more concerned with doing a quality job than saving a few dollars. Looking at previous Angie's list reviews I selected them, and was glad that I did. I got a top quality job at a reasonable price. I was happy enough, in fact, that I plan to bring them back in the spring to do my house exterior.

Kirk and his crew were very efficient, always neat, and worked with perfection. The paint lines are straight and clean, and the cement floor now looks fabulous. He and his crew were very respectable in our home and were also very personable. The work was done to our greatest satisfaction and we now confidently can say that we have a painter for all of our needs. More interior work for us by Vandermark & Son Painting is in the future, for sure. He comes highly recommended by us, and we had no doubts when we asked him to paint our 4,300 square foot home exterior also.

We had Vandermark & Son do the painting in our sunroom first prior to asking them to do the exterior of our house. Since we were so pleased with Kirk, his crew, and the final results of the room, we knew that we had our painter for the large job of painting our 4,300 square foot home. First of all, Kirk was always quick in responding to my phone calls and always did what he said he was going to do. He was also quite consistent and always had a positive attitude towards any additional requests that we had, which were a few. The walls were very dry, but the workers were persistent in making sure that the surface was correct before beginning the actual painting. We appreciate that care, for it makes an enormous difference in the longtime durability of the paint-job. Caulking was done extensively also. I must say that no one has ever put in this much time and effort into the preparation of the surface as they did. The work areas were alway kept in meticulous condition, and therefore were also left in good condition on a daily basis. Kirk is a family man and takes pride in his work. I have no hesitation in recommending him for your next large job, small job, exterior painting or interior painting.

Even though we had used Mr. Vandermark before on painting the exterior of my law office building as well as my wife's house, and even though the quality of his work on the prior job was excellent and he gave us the best price, we put both new jobs out for bid to a few painting companies. As I expected, Mr. Vandermark came back with the best bid. He had a crew of two other painters help him do (a) the interior of the building and (b) our Lake Tahoe home. Mr. Vandermark was on both jobs the whole time, doing much of the painting himself AND making sure the other painters were doing quality work. We were so very impressed with the quality of his company's work on both projects. He just does outstanding work. Having worked with at least 7 painting contractors over the last 20 years, there is absolutely none better than Vandermark and sons. His reputation is stellar. He is honest. He hires excellent painters to help him do his job. He finishes the job on time and at the lowest price. Not only that, because our law office is very busy, he took pains to TIME his and his employees' painting of the interior of our law office so as to be the least disruptive to our workers. I would also note that the particular attention Vandermark & Sons pays to PREPPING before PAINTING makes all the difference in the world. The prepping was incredibly thorough and the resulting paint job was superb. I would recommend Vandermark and Sons very, very highly. A+.

Went very well from start to finish-all the personnel were considerate of how I wanted the rooms painted-they listened to me,and the requests I had.

Excellent job. I called for an estimate and received a timely call back. I was kept informed of when they would be at the house, and they always arrived promptly. They pressured washed the exterior of the house. They did chalking and securing of siding as needed. They painted the siding. They taped off areas as needed. They painted the exterior trim. We have a taller than normal roof which they were able to handle quite well. They then painted the railing and steps leading to the front door. (Something they offered to do even though it wasn't in the original estimate). They are quite flexible and willing to work with you. They then moved inside to paint our interior walls. They painted the living room and hallway. They also did a really good job on the seams where the colors changed from one wall to the next wall. They covered carpets, and flooring to protect against paint drippings. They are considerate and try not to disrupt your home. They also did an excellent job of cleaning up. They even took their trash. They left the premises exactly as they found it. Would definitely hire them again.

Everything was great. Estimate was a little bit higher than some others but the house had been neglected and quite a bit of prep work was necessary. So, based on the high quality of work from other reports and the recognized need for some additional labor, it made sense and seemed actually very reasonable. Kirk was very courteous and helpful in terms of providing paint and stain samples, and seemed always on scene supervising the work and making sure I understood what was going on at each step. An additional wrinkle came up when the lattice over the deck outside proved to have rotten post supports, and they proved adept at doing the (rather extensive) repair work on the lattice before painting it. That came to some more money of course but having dealt with other contractors on labor doing various other things, I am positive that I actually saved significant money by having Kirk do it rather than a separate contractor. It couldn't have been a better overall experience. I'm planning to have them repair and refinish my wood deck at the side as well.
