It went very well and we are pleased with how it turned out! She charged us less than the original estimate because she was able to finish the job in less time than she originally planned. Her prices are very reasonable and she is honest and skilled.
Description of Work: Kathy painted a small powder room as well as a front entrance, stairway walls and upstairs hallway including ceiling and trim.

This is the second large project we have hired Kathy Smith/Ready For A Change for, and we cannot recommend her enough! The quality of her workmanship is top. We asked her to come in and paint over some very dark, dingy, and scuffed up wood paneling. She gave suggestions on color choice and products (primer) to purchase. The work went so quickly! She finished in eight days what would have taken me six months! And it looks just beautiful! She completely transformed the lower level of our house, and gave it fresh new life. She is trustworthy, easy to communicate and to schedule with. She painted the biggest area first, which allowed us to settle into that space while completing the smaller rooms. We had a neighbor compliment us on the lines in our kitchen (from the previous project a year ago), just the other day. Her work holds up. Also, because she is a professional, she uses about half the paint I would use and leaves no mess behind. Ready For A Change/Kathy Smith saved us time, frustration and money. We will continue to hire her and recommend her to friends and family.

We highly recommend Kathy Smith from Ready for a Change to paint your home. She has a wonderful method for removing wallpaper with minimal fuss. She is professional yet personable. She's knowledgeable and skilled. She estimates well the amount of time that she will need to do a job. She does quality work. As noted above we have actually utilized her twice in the past two years and will continue to ask her to do the painting jobs that are coming up in our future.
Description of Work: Interior painting, mainly trim. (Although we had used her in the previous year for more extensive interior room wallpaper removal and painting.)

Kathy has painted most of the rooms in our home over the past few years, and we’ve always been delighted with her workmanship. She is everything you’d want in a painter: knowledgeable, skilled, and meticulous in her attention to detail. Her trim work is exceptional; you won’t find a stray brush mark. She is professional in her conduct, quiet but friendly, and very tidy. We recently made the mistake of hiring someone else to do some carpentry and painting, reasoning that it would be easiest to have one person who could do both jobs. Then we hired Kathy to come in and fix his sloppy workmanship. We learned our lesson, and Kathy will be our only painter from now on! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Description of Work: Paint upstairs hallway, including walls, ceiling, doors, and trim. Paint stairway walls, trim, and high ceiling. Paint office ceiling and baseboards. Paint foyer door, baseboards, and other trim. Touch up various problem areas left by previous painter.

Initially I received Kathy's voicemail. Kathy called back within 30 minutes. I told her about the job, and we set up an estimate. She came to the house at a mutually agreed upon time. She sent an estimate the next day. We decided to hire her for the job. She began the job three weeks later. Kathy was here when she said she would be. In fact, she called the day before she was scheduled, to confirm that she would be coming the next day. The job was completed in two days. There was a mix up regarding the colors (not Kathy's error). When I called about it, Kathy came the next day to fix it. I would HIGHLY recommend Kathy for your painting job, and I would definitely call her again.
Description of Work: We had a newly remodeled bedroom painted. The room had new drywall and two walls of built ins.

Kathy was the ultimate professional from start to finish! Her work was meticulous and her advice regarding paint colors and finishes was invaluable to us. Over the course of three days, I got to know Kathy on a personal level and she is definitely the kind of person that anyone would want to have working in their home. I would definitely hire Kathy in the future!

Kathy was awesome - very friendly and professional, with excellent advice on paint type and quantity. She made sure that we didn't buy more paint than was needed to complete the job. If we had done the job ourselves we would've wasted a lot of paint. Her work was excellent, and highly efficient both in terms of time and paint. We're extremely pleased with the results, and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Kathy just completed a week's long paint & staining job at my home. I've used many other Painters over the years and I have never had a painter as good as Kathy. She was polite, courteous, and most of all a excellent Painter. She didn't make a mess like some other Painters and was very fair with her pricing. She does book out kinda far but trust me she's worth the wait. That also speaks to her quality. If you have animals she is a animal lover and she watched over my cats as if they were her own. I'm sure Bella is going to miss her. Thank you very much Kathy and I can't wait till I need to have something painted again.

Kathy did a wonderful job. I was very happy with the work as well as the prompt service. Kathy was able to reach the ceiling in the stairwell that I was not able to reach because she had the proper equipment and tools. I would definitely recommend Kathy to my family and friends, and already have!
Description of Work: I hired Kathy/Owner to paint my front hall way, up the stairs and the 2nd floor hallway. Kathy also painted all ceilings in those areas as well as all trim.

Ready For A Change was fantastic! Kathy came in the office to meet with me to review color choices, and what work had to be done in order to repair the walls, which is wallpapered and painted over. She was flexible to work evenings or weekends as the work had to be done after office hours. She did a perfect job repairing the walls and painting the office with total QUALITY. She is very trustworthy, professional, reasonable and all with a smile! She is very proud of her art and it shows in the final product! I would highly recommend Ready For A Change to any friend or customer.
