Response from Peter J Grady
i'm sorry that this person was not able to contact me. This person may have not left their full name, phone number, address, & state that they are Angieslist clients. All of this point of contact information is helpful for a prompt follow up call within 72 hours. I do not have a record of their call with the above stated information. As a small business i receive at least 10 calls a day everyday from various sales people from across the globe, my local & national suppliers, numerous inquirers from the general public, etc. etc. I can't answer each one as I am up on ladders, have tools in my hand, and am focused on the project I am on. I make a concerted effort to prioritize Anglieslist clients.I advise everyone to leave their full name address, phone number, and state they are Angieslist clients. Again, I am sorry that this person was not able to reach me. Sincerely, Pete

Went great overall.
Description of Work: Contacted Pete from the Painting People and he responded the same day. His first estimate was a little too high for us so I called him back to say that I appreciated his responsiveness but that we weren't looking to spend that much. Pete then did something I've never known anyone to do, he lowered the price to help us out. Not only that, he and his team (Josh who was very nice) did a great job! Would recommend to anyone.

great
Description of Work: I called for a quote and was very impressed. I had ordered furniture that came in the wrong color, my fault, and wanted to know if the "deal" the company was offering to repaint was good. I was told what the job would entail, approx cost to repaint and advised that the seller of the furniture was in fact taking care of me better than he could justify. He was very professional and fair and I would call him as needed in the future.

They did an excellent job. They cleaned up after themselves. The paint that was picked was the exact color that I wanted. They covered the furniture and the floor so it would not get paint splattered.
Description of Work: They came to my house and they painted three rooms and a hall, and they put in crown molding.

Pete met with me to provide an estimate within 48 hours after I contacted him. He was on time, inspected and measured the square footage of the areas that I requested to be painted. I received the estimate via e-mail approximately 48 hours later as agreed. His team includes a colorist, who met with me after I had accepted the bid. I had already basically chosen my wall color so she assisted mainly with matching the trim. She was prepared to assist me with color choices as she brought several interior decorating magazines and two color fan decks along with her in case. Pete and an assistant (on two occasions there were 2) spent 7 days completing the job (Monday-Friday and Monday (Memorial day) and Tuesday). The walls and trim required 3 coats of paint and the team worked thoroughly and diligently to assure beautiful results. Pete did extras (there was a bird trapped behind a window in the basement and he took the time to release it. I initially considered using other trim colors, which he brought the samples to me and painted a sample on the walls (saved me another trip to the paint store!). He also removed paint spills (done by me) from a small table that I had previously used as I was sampling paints. Also, there are several doors in my hallway (about 6-7) that needed painting, but had not been included in the estimate. I had assumed that the doors were included, but Pete explained that doors are measured separately. He painted them anyway and did not charge extra. Pete is willing to go the extra mile for customer satisfaction.
Description of Work: Pete and associates made minor plaster repairs as necessary and painted the breakfast room walls with trim (French doors and windows and ceiling plus the hallway and ceiling and (doors and trim).

Pete came on an emergency basis to open the wall. He told us when he would be here, called to let us know he was on the way, then arrived exactly on schedule. Due to problems with the plumbers, Pete was unable to begin work immediately. He didn't charge us for the call, and told us he would return when the project was ready for his work. We've worked with Pete before and we continue to be amazed at his professionalism, craftsmanship and reliability.
Description of Work: We had a plumbing leak within our walls. Pete did the plaster work and painting in that room, so we contacted him to come open the wall so the plumbers could access the plumbing.

KARLA DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. SHE WAS PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL, VERY NEAT. SHE NAILED A PIECE OF WOOD BEHIND THE DRYWALL, THAN SECURED THE DRYWALL WITH SCREWS. MUD WAS APPLIED. THIS TOOK 1 HOUR. RETURNED THE NEXT DAY, AREA HAD DRIED, APPLIED A LITTLE MORE QUICK DRYING MUD, SANDED ALL SMOOTH, PRIMED WHICH ALSO TOOK AN HOUR. KARLA WENT AS FAR AS HAVING A PLASTIC TENT WHEN SANDING SO THE DUST DIDN'T GET ALL OVER FURNITURE, CARPET, ETC. I WAS GOING TO PAINT THE AREA MYSELF, WHICH I DID, AND IT CAME OUT BEAUTIFULLY.

Pete Grady returned my call immediately and arranged to come to my home within days. He arrived on time and quickly finished the measurements he needed. I received his quote within 24 hours. I was unsure about colors because our floorplan is very open. The PP have a color consultant on staff. She came and was very helpful. Pete warned me that he was a few weeks out in scheduling, but when the day came, he and his assistant arrived on time. Having Pete and Nate in our home for a week and a half could have been a strain. But, they were extremely professional and thoughtful. At the end of each day, they cleaned up and returned everything to original order before leaving. This allowed our family to function normally every evening. A few days into the job, I changed my mind about colors in some of the rooms. Pete graciously dealt with my switch and even arranged for the paint he had already purchased to be donated to charity! I have recommended TPP to all my friends and will use them again.

Everything went as planned.

Pete came to the house and measured the walls and base boards and provided me with a detailed estimate the next day. His partner, Carla, came to the house and helped me pick the two tone colors for the foyer and great room (color consultation). That was a huge help. Pete and Carla were back a week later to start the project. He said they would use 2 coats of paint and it would take 5-6 days and it took 5 days. Pete and Carla were very professional, polite, clean, and respectful. I have 2 inquisitive girls that asked lots of questions. Pete and Carla were very patient with the girls, when all I wanted was for the girls to watch TV. They cleaned up every day and worked quietly and expertly. They offer a one year free touch up warranty. I have already recommended them to various friends. They really do know what they are doing!
Description of Work: Painted the great room (2 floors - high ceiling with small niche on 2nd floor) and foyer and front staircase with overlook into the great room, including a niche and base boards.

Pete was professional, friendly, punctual, and a hard worker. He did a superb job with work that took multiple coats of primer and paint. Having a color consultant is a great service too. We are extremely pleased with the work and will use Pete for future jobs. He is a wealth of info regarding wall preparation and technique. He knows what he's doing!

Pete Grady responded quickly to my call, came to my home at the appointed time, did thorough measurements and assessments, then provided me with a detailed estimate the next day. His partner, Carol, provided a color consultation that we very much appreciated. Pete began the work on schedule, arrived early, worked diligently and expertly, and cleaned up the work site before leaving every day. He was meticulous and exacting and took care to sand, seal, and prep surfaces. Every room received two coats of high-quality paint, and the final result is gorgeous. Pete gave us advice for other rooms we're tackling ourselves and both he and Carol were a pleasure to work with. The company offers free touch-ups, as well. I've encountered few craftsmen with such skill and work ethic. I highly recommend The Painting People.

Pete came out and gave me an estimate and then came back in one week to perform the work. They were polite, clean, and very professional. They completed the work as they said they would, in two days and used two coats of paint as opposed to one heavy coat. Two coats always looks better. They offer a one year free touch up warranty, which is great and will certainly recommend them for future jobs.
Description of Work: Pete painted the family room and dining room and patched and sanded all of the spots that needed it and covered two small openings and painted over them as well.

He exceeded our expectations! What a fabulous job. The house looks fantastic! His co-workers were extremely pleasant and I feel so fortunate to have met Pete. It was a breath of fresh air to have pieties professional attitude and his attention to detail was refreshing. Pete is prompt, cleans up any messes, had great suggestions for color changes (that didn't cost additional) and a terrific work ethic that's hard to find. I can't say enough great things about The Painting People, I was almost sorry to see the job completed because everyone was so nice and so professional. I had no reservations about letting them have free rein of the house inside and outside to get the job done. I don't always feel comfortable having a lot of repair workers in the house.
Description of Work: Pete Grady came to the house at the agreed upon time and then followed up with a thorough estimate, outlined his insurance and how long the project would take. We initially hired The Painting People to paint the outside of the house, which is a 1.5 story, 1 story in the front and 3 stories from the back because we have a walk-out basement. He exceeded our expectations! What a fabulous job. After he started the job,I asked him to please paint 2 bathrooms, which he did at a very reasonable price, patched holes, sanded old wall paper paste, sealed the walls, because they had previously been painted with oil, and painted. The house looks fantastic!

The Painting People were excellent! They were prompt, professional and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them for any painting job, interior or exterior. Nate was the primary painter and went the extra mile to ensure our satisfaction with the job. We compared other painters and this was a very reasonable price.

Everyone we've met associated with The Painting People has been dependable, friendly, hard-working, extremely knowledgeable about painting, and eager to satisfy. Pete and his crew are professional, kept their work area neat and organized, and most importantly, were respectful of our home. They arrived on time, got right to work, worked methodically and continuously, and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. Additionally, the color consultation Carla provides is a wonderful and valuable service. Their prices are reasonable and they are conducive to flexible scheduling; working around the clients' schedule, working holidays and weekends, if necessary.
Description of Work: Prepared all walls (patched drywall) and painted our oversized living room, stairwell, upstairs hallway, and oversized master bedroom with two coats of paint on ceiling and two coats on all walls. In renovated master bathroom, sanded and prepared walls, applied one coat of primer to walls and ceiling, following up with two coats of paint. In addition, The Painting People provided color consultation.
