Muir Painting

INCREDIBLE! Awesome job at a great rate.

We are really pleased with all aspects oft the job. Fast, friendly and professional We highly recommend them.

Muir Painting did an outstanding job painting my two-story, 5000 square-foot house. The old paint job had not peeled so the preparation work was minimal. One person power washed the house a few days before the painters came. A crew of nine started early Monday morning. They caulked the trim, covered the windows, sprayed the house, uncovered the windows, and started on the trim. On Tuesday three or four painters came back for half a day to finish the job. They did an excellent job. There were no bare spots, no paint runs. They did an excellent job protecting the plants around the house and an excellent job of cleaning up. The crew was well organized. Everyone knew what needed to be done and went about their tasks without much fanfare. I was really pleased that Muir Painting was able to paint the house in 1 1/2 days. This minimized the disruption to my daily routine. Other contractors quoted at least a week. And I would have expected other contractors to leave the masking on the windows up for a couple of days.

Went well. On time. Worked steadily. Answered questions. Cleaned up after selves.

Our whole experience was great from the quote through to the final product. The team led by Chris got the whole house painted very nicely in just one day. Dan was great for the quote process and responsiveness. The overall price and optional addons such as extra colors, door painting and foundation painting were all very reasonable. We highly recommend Muir painting!

I am not used to quick responses, quick bids and quick scheduling with popular Angieslist contractors, but Dan came out within hours of my call and gave me an estimate on painting the exterior of our house. Within a few weeks, our house was painted. Prior to painting, I inadvertently called him while he was on vacation and he was gracious and patient enough to call me back to answer my questions about the job. That says a lot right there. There was some slight miscommunication over painting my deck, but it's nothing that wouldn't cause me from recommending Muir Painting. Price-wise, Muir Painting was the lowest, in some cases, by far. I had other estimates literally twice as much. The only thing keeping this from being a perfect review is the fact I wish his crew was a little more careful, they snapped a large plant in half on one side of the house (which never got mentioned) and left tape and paper in different areas. They also smudged an upper window with paint and forgot to paint corner trim on the back. Dan himself came and cleaned up the smudge and painted the trim, which we appreciated. Overall, I would certainly recommend Muir Painting, and Dan. The final product looks great, and the fact he was prompt, treated me with respect and acted like he wanted my business worked in his favor. It was a pleasure doing business with them.

Dan's team was amazing and did the work quickly. I appreciated the review that explained how Dan works from his truck, so there is low overhead, but communication is a bit interesting. We just had to clarify that we were ready for them to paint after having some other work done, and it took a couple calls. It all worked out fantastic, and they were done with my 1360 square foot home in less than a day. It looks amazing.

After pressure washing the entire house, Dan's crew showed up on time and went right to work. They caulked all joints, masked all the windows and doors, then began painting. They were very careful around my large deck and my shrubs and plants. They cleaned up and hauled away all the debris. My house looks amazing! I would highly recommend Muir Painting.

We found Dan and his crew, efficient, timely, and did a high quality job. The timetable set was adhered to, even started a bit in advance. Both ourselves (and some neighbors) were quite surprised when the crew announced at the end of Day 1, that they were finished. House looks great!

We loved the excellent service and product provided by Muir painting. In our case the service beat our expectations, and they were ahead of schedule, The paint application quality and cleanness of the job site was excellent. There were no negative issues at all. Their effectiveness and efficiency shows years of refining the process of painting a house. The bid showed their efficiency as well in that they were significantly below the next lowest bidder for a two-story house. I've painted houses myself and cannot give them a higher recommendation.

Excellent service and painting. Finished my large house in 1 day.

Dan was very quick to respond and had a very competitive quote. Dan and his team were the only painters that were willing to paint in the spring and were ready to go as soon as a nice day presented itself. They arrived on time and started right away. I was impressed with how quickly the job was done, yet it was still great quality.

It went beautifully! The prep work was exceptionally good, and the crew of about 8 painters showed up on time and were really well-organized. They wasted no time and worked really hard for one day and almost finished. They used a sprayer where they could and handprinted the trim and other spots needing special attention. The next day a crew of 4 showed up and finished the job. Clean-up was great! The crew were professional and friendly and clearly well-trained.

Dan responded quickly to my inquiry, was friendly and highly professional when giving an estimate. His work team did a good job from prep to finish. There was one issue with the wrong paint on a peak, but they quickly worked to fix it right up. They were even helped me get old house numbers off and new ones on. After the job there was one dent in a gutter from a ladder and a bit of paint spatter on the patio. I called and someone came right over to fix up the issues. I couldn't be happier with how my home looks.

Great. Dan came out, walked my house, and presented a bid and a proposed contract on the spot. He obviously knew what he was doing- pointing out a few issues and able to quote immediately. His price was significantly better than a price (too high to accept) that another painter quoted the previous fall. There was no pressure..., just "Here's my price, give me a call if you want to accept." His system is fast and professional- about a month later, the foreman came out on a Saturday and pressure washed. Then several days later his crew showed up on the scheduled day. He uses a very large crew, swarming the house and finishing the entire job in one day. Scrap, caulk, plastic, and mask- it was all going on at once, and as soon as the front was prepped, the sprayer started while the prep crew moved to the back. Plastic and tape removal as well as cleanup followed quickly behind the sprayer. Previous painters were crews of 2-3 people and took 2-3 days. Dan had at least 10 guys on the job at times and got the gob completed in a day. That's nice for the homeowner. He is a no nonsense painter- straight forward and production oriented, obviously doing a lot of houses. I did have a few drips on the deck from the hand painting of the trim because they removed the tarps after spraying but before doing the door trim. I scraped these off and did not complain as otherwise, the job was excellent. The taping around windows was the best I have experienced, with very clean lines. Dan seems to run his business mostly out of his truck with his cell phone. If you call, it goes right to him. His contract and invoice were hand written. Don't expect detailed paperwork from an office staff, and that's fine with me, as it keeps his overhead down. But he is juggling a lot of jobs and you might have to remind him of any details you discussed. I recommended him to two neighbors who also had their houses painted and they were both happy with the work. Overall, one of the best experiences I have ever had with a contractor. He does exactly what you want from a contractor- gives you a good price, does quality work, gets it done quickly, on time, and as promised.

After receiving multiple bids for exterior painting we settled on Muir Painting and am glad we did. Not only did they come in at the best price, but the team was excellent. They showed up on time and completed the project in one day. They were efficient and did a great job cleaning up after. I would absolutely hire again.

Work was done on schedule, within price specified and consistent with quality parameters established. Dan Muir was particularly helpful in recommending Rodda Paint as a resource to help chose best colors for our house. The crew was very professional and a follow-up visit for touch-up followed soon thereafter. We were very satisfied and would definitely hire again.

Dan even showed up to help paint, which really impressed me because I know he is a very busy person. The did a great job, very efficient, cleaned up after themselves, and the price was well below other bids we received! I would not hesitate to hire them again!

I would not use this company again. The house, overall, looks pretty good from a distance however you can see the old color showing through in several places where they sprayed too thinly. They missed several areas when painting the trim. They came out one day to spray the house and left a huge mess than did not return for 5 days to complete it. On the first day they left at 2 pm and there was tape left on lights (fire hazard), garbage in my bushes, outdoor blinds were in the middle of the yard, welcome mats left laying in the driveway, extension cord plugged in to an outdoor outlet and left in the middle of the yard, hoses strung across walkways, they left tools and chords piled in my hammock, and a trellis laying across a walkway, misc. mess laying around. I sent the owner some pictures of the mess that was left behind. They finally returned on Saturday (5 days later) to complete it. When they left I found several areas where the old paint was showing through and they only painted the top of some handrails and several areas of trim where left unpainted. I could also here them making sarcastic remarks about me asking the owner to pick up the mess. It was not an unreasonable request and I was polite when I spoke to him. I felt they were unprofessional and did not seem to be concerned about overall quality. My brother, who is a professional house painter, recommended hiring a professional company rather than trying to do it myself but was horrified when he saw the state they left things in. He said he would have been fired had he left such a mess the first day or missed so many things on the paint job. I'm usually pretty nice with my reviews but the point of Angie's List is to know what you are getting ahead of time so can't be overly nice with this one.

It went very well. Done quickly and professionally

He was then able to schedule the job just a few weeks later. His price was very competitive. The job was well done, the crew was good about clean up and protecting vegetation and other nearby things from paint. I would highly recommend Muir Painting.

Showed up on time, did great work, cleaned up and that was that. Good communication.

It went well. They had to come back 2 separate times after the final touch up to do more touch ups.

Did all the painting in one day. Any questions, Dan resolve immediately.

Went well. Work was done in a day and they came back out the next day for touchups.
