Description of Work: I called Karen and she promptly came over for an estimate. I was unsure of the colors I wanted so she brought a whole palette of paint colors. She was extremely helpful in choosing the colors that would best suit our needs. She was pretty booked up -yes, she is THAT good-and we were happy to wait a few weeks to start. She called me several days before the start date and showed up exactly on time and ready to go. Because I still wasn't sure in the bedroom she brought some samples and painted them on the wall so I could think about the colors for that room while she did the others. She was extremely fast - I could not believe how much she could get done in one day and we have a huge great room with cathedral ceilings! She originally told us she could be done in about five days but because she is a whirlwind, she was done in 3.5 days! She moved furniture, spackled and taped, and painted beautifully! There was nothing that she did that

Response from UP AGAINST THE WALL
I pride myself on returning phone calls and being reliable.I clearly remember this.The customer left a message on my voicemail and I accidently erased it instead of saving it.I realized that evening when I tried to retrieve it that I had lost the contact information.The following morning I tried the phone number on my caller I.D.log (her workplace)but having no name to even ask for I was out of luck.(I was hoping perhaps it was a small business and they would perhaps know who I was looking for.)So,all I could hope for was them to call me again.I understand why they would think I was unresponsive but I tried ,with the little info I had to con tact them.

We are very pleased!
Description of Work: We live in a flat in downtown Columbus, and have an open space for the living room, dining room, and kitchen. We also have two bedrooms and bathrooms. Karen came by for a consultation and conferred with us about color options since we wanted to use a total of four different colors. We really like that she has an artistic background and has a good eye for colors and details. She made recommendations about paint type options and even shared her contractor discount with Sherwin Williams. Initially we were not in a rush to get the paint job done, but our families and friends started scheduling their visits to us. Thus, we were grateful that our schedule worked out with Karen's. She completed the job in 3.5 days - a very thorough, clean, and meticulous job with two coats. The wall-ceiling cuts were precise, and the hard-to-reach areas (around mirrors, toilet, edges, and corners) were nicely done. She came back for a follow-up, and is very professional. Well recommended!

Karen was very pleasant and professional. She didn't even get mad when I accidentally gave her the wrong address. Hurray for cell phones. She said the job would take two days and it did. She worked quietly each day until the occupants woke at noon. The job was just what I asked for and was outstanding. I gave her a bonus because I was very pleased.
Description of Work: Painted kitchen including ceiling, walls, woodwork, and cabinets. Karen had to clean some areas first. The surfaces needed some repairs also.

She did an excellent job. Karen is punctual in returning calls, she shows up when she says she will and she is a true professional. She prepped the walls, papered, helped me re-hang accessories (towel bar, mirror, etc.). She cleaned up the area when finished.

Excellent. This is the second project that Karen has completed for me. The first was wallpapering a guest bath. Karen is a true professional. She is prompt in returning calls, she shows up when she says she will and she does an excellent job. I have already booked another project with Karen. Make sure you book well in advance. She has been in the business a long time and is truly excellent; therefore, is very busy. You may have to wait a few weeks, but she is worth the wait.
Description of Work: Karen painted my dining room, hallway, and two story stairwell. Karen helped me with color choice, prepped the walls where needed, painted and cleaned up the area. She also helped me re-hang art work.

KAREN HAS BEEN FANTASTIC! I RECEIVED FOUR ESTIMATES ON THE WORK TO BE DONE. KAREN DID THE WORK FOR $2000 WHILE EVERYONE ELSE GAVE AN ESTIMATE RANGING FROM $5000 TO $8000. KAREN IS FRIENDLY AND TAKES PRIDE IN THE WORK SHE DOES. SHE ALSO IS EXTREMELY FAST. I WILL DEFINITELY HIRE HER TO DO MORE WORK AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE NEEDING INTERIOR PAINTING and WALLPAPERING.

FOUR HUNDRED TO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS UNDER COMPETITORS BIDS. WAS THE ONLY OUTFIT THAT WENT OVER PAINT COLOR WITH US. EVERYONE ELSE TOLD US TO GO TO A PAINT STORE AND PICK OUT OUR COLORS. WHILE PAINTING THE HALLWAY, SHE STOPPED AND WAITED FOR US TO RETURN HOME. SHE SURMISED CORRECTLY THAT THE COLOR WAS NOT WHAT WE WOULD WANT. SHE WAS DONE QUICKLY, AND THE QUALITY OF THE WORK WAS IMPECCABLE.
