I hired this company to paint the whole interior of my house. The owner went above and beyond to get the job done within my time frame. The patching and painting work was excellent. Highly recommend!

Jim and his team were top-notch. They were punctual and responsive throughout the entire process of painting our home and doing electrical updates. I would recommend A-1 Painting/Improvements to anyone. Jim is also really great for first-time homeowners like ourselves, explaining things along the way and helping us understand the renovation project. A truly great experience!

EXCEPTIONAL WORK! Great Job! Excellent communication! Was even on time when giving the initial quote. We hired Edgar and his team for our exterior house stucco job and an interior ceiling job. Reasonably priced. Would hire again and highly recommend.

Jim and his team (John and Allen) did a great job! Great attention to detail. So good I ended up having them do more work! His people are very considerate and helpful while going about their business in your home. And the price was fair too.

My wife and I were completely amazed by the quality of work, communication and price of A-1's work. Price: I had several people quote the job. The prices ranged from a little under A-1's price to nearly double. The high price was ridiculous, and the person couldnâ t explain why. My house is 20 years old, and every wall needed TLC. Jim, from A-1, understood that half the project was getting the walls and ceiling back into shape. He went through room by room and helped me understand what should be painted (walls, ceiling, and baseboard) and where I could hold off and save money (painting doors â mine were in pretty good shape). He developed a detailed quote and that was the exact price at the end of the job. Communication: Jim texted me several times leading up to the day the job started and then during the process to inform me about the status of the painters. I was never guessing when someone would show up or when the job would be complete. Quality: Wow. Shockingly good!!! There were less expensive painters, but it was clear from talking to Jim that he had many years of experience â as did the team he employed. Before the painters arrived, I told Jim that I needed to cut a 6â hole in the wall to secure some pipes the had broken free. No problem. The lead painter, John, created a patch and 30 mins later, the hole was gone. 60 minutes later, you couldnâ t tell that I had cut a hole. John went on to patch every hole, dent and corner bead that had broken free. My walls looked like they had chicken pox. John went over everything was an expert eye. Jim visited the site several times to ensure the team had everything they needed and that I was satisfied. I canâ t say enough about John, the lead painter. He was exceptional. Great attention to detail, fast, neat and very friendly. Clean-up. The team put cloth down on everything. With all the repairs, the cloth caught wall chips, mud and paint. On the last day, the team pulled these out, vacuumed everything and replaced all the furniture. Great attention to detail!!! I would recommend this contractor to all my friends and family!

Jim is an excellent contractor--smart, effective, personable, customer friendly, honest. His crew, his carpenter in particular, did such fine, satisfactory work, I would hire them again. I recommend him and his crew wholeheartedly, without reservations.

Had hired Jim to paint the entire interior of my house. Was suppose to start work on a Wednesday and blamed 2 â of snow to why they couldnâ t start that day and didnâ t start till Saturday. Jim told be it would take 10 days to do need less to say 19 days later they finally finished. Absolutely didnâ t keep a clean work environment and got paint on my hardwood floors which I ended up cleaning off. Doesnâ t tell you that he doesnâ t take his trash that they made with them but thinks itâ s okay to wait till the end of the job to tell you that, found the company to be very unorganized and unprofessional. Two guys started my project but one was taken of within a week, which left one man doing the work of two. Would highly recommend not using this company!!

I was VERY nervous about the concept of painting my home, and I am VERY lucky to have come across A-1 Painters! Not only was Jim extremely professional, and his team was some of the best people I have ever come across; and the icing on top? Our home looks like it was rebuilt, brand new! That is how amazing the job was done by A-1 Painters! Furthermore, Chris and Jeremy are two of the hardest, most respectful and all around just two good guys you would want to work on your home. Key word is Home, it is not theirs, but they treat it like it is their own! Lastly, the two that were here Chris and Jeremy went so far and beyond and made my whole family feel so comfortable with them at my home, I was happy seeing them each and everyday! I can not say enough good things about this company, workers, owners and so on! PLEASE hire this crew! You will not be disappointed!!! Thank you again Jeremy, Chris and Jim!!! -Ackerman Family!

The project was to stain eight interior doors and the result was just fantastic. The steps involved were outlined to me ahead of time and the cost was exactly as quoted. I will most definitely use their services again. Most highly recommended.

I hired them for a small job and we ran into some hiccups which turned it into a bigger job and they didn't skip a beat. Even with the extra work it was still finished in a timely manor. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again for any other work in my home.
