About us
Hello, I would like to introduce myself. I'm Dan Muir, born and raised in Portland Oregon. I went to Centennial High School and have a five year degree from Multnomah University. I began painting in 1973 to work my way through college and continued after graduation. I began on old Portland homes and soon perfected the preperation necessary to produce long lasting, quality paint jobs. I make an effort to be prompt and timely, to insist on quality, and employ people who are well versed in comunicating with customers who may have questions or concerns. I have been quite successful in painting largely due to my overall dedication to good preparation, the use of quality materials and the knowledge of the many dynamics in this particular industry. Good paint jobs do not happen by accident. It takes an organized effort with people that know the business. I hope you will trust me with your home or your commercial property and I promise I will do all I can to make the painting experience a pleasant one. Our license number is 47305 and everyone that works for me is on payroll and fully insured. You can contact me directly at 503 810 6105. You can also look us up at www.muirpainting.com. Award winning. Additional phone - (503) 291-7011.

I would love to write a good review given my family has used this company with success. However, after close to two weeks of attempting to get a quote with no response from them, I felt it would be good to write this review. I am willing to leave room for a bad answering service. That said, I have left at least 3 messages with their business line. One time, the person on the other end said they would call every member of the team till they reached someone to make sure they called me back. To this day, I have never heard back from Muir Painting. This alone, regardless of how good they might be, is very poor customer service. Hopefully someone there will read this review and fix the situation.

Response from Muir Painting
This F maintains my perfect record of every F being on a house I never painted. In this case never even bid on. I have no record of having received a call from this person. It is true my answering service is as bad as it gets and I do not recall getting any messages from this person. I can't change services though till the end of the painting season. I may quit answering services altogether. Also, my answering service only has my number there is nobody else to call. Even though my reviews are pretty good even my wife knows I'm not perfect.

Dan Muir came out right away, gave me a quote and got me on the work schedule as soon as I confirmed I wanted them to complete the work. They came out with a large crew and completed the work in one day. I was very impressed! I think they did a great job, good clean up, very professional team that addressed any issues right away. Would use them again.

Dan and his team did an excellent job of painting our house. They were very responsive when I reached out for a quote and the price was very reasonable for the work that was done. He provided a quick and easy way to pick our colors out and delivered high quality work. Dan was able to get us into his busy schedule very quickly which is something that we were very grateful for. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to paint their house.

Large crew = efficient and effective. They are punctual and very hard working. Appear to enjoy working together. They only negative is they were quite loud very early in the morning ( 6am arrival ). Understandable arrival time given August heat. There was loud banging of the ladders/ equipment on the house at set up and loud voices yelling at times to communicate with each other when some crew in the front and back of the house. The only other surprise is that this company does not accept electronic payment with debit or credit card. I should have asked up front since forms of acceptable payment methods were not listed on the official paperwork/quote. Other than those two negatives the quality of work and paint used is superb.

Very well. A crew of 5 or 6 (I lost track) came early on a hot day; they scraped old loose paint, sprayed the body, and finished by brushing the trim. They were done in one day, and I found just one missed spot, which Dan took care of quickly. No mess left behind. Very pleased.

Because of the circumstances, we didn't have much lead time to offer Dan. Even though it was the middle of the busiest time of the year for house painters, Dan understood the significance of the event and moved Heaven and Earth to get it done for us in time; he even brought on additional workers! Dan's teams, led by Matt and Ishmael, worked very hard and efficiently to finish the job within a week. The ceremony was in an intricate flower garden on the South side of our home, and we expected some damage to the plants due to the proximity to the house; we were very happily surprised to find that the plant damage was minimal! The painters that focused on the finish work ensured that no detail was overlooked. Our 114-year old "Grand Dame" looks amazing and we couldn't be happier. Muir Painting really came through for us!

Dan responded to my after-business-hour online request very promptly. I had sent in my request around 6:30 p.m. , he called me at 8:20 p.m. He was very upfront with me that he could not fit any small jobs in his schedule this summer. He referred me to a person who would be able to help me. I was impressed that he was responding to a request that he knew he was not going to take at 8:20 p.m. in the evening.

The MUIR painting crew is absolutely fantastic. When I called, Dan Muir was on top of a ladder painting. He was at my house that afternoon to give me a bid, and pointed out some damage that nobody else noticed and included the fix in his price His bid was within 2% of the competing bids. One guy came out and pressure washed the entire house. About a week later his crew of about six guys was here at 7:00 a.m. sharp (crew chief was waiting for his crew in the cul-de-sac at 6:45). We've got a 2,000 square foot two-story house, and they did everything from prep to cleanup in less than one day. They walked around the house with me to get my approval (and do a few final touch-ups). That evening I noticed never-before-seen flashing was now pretty visible, given the new color scheme. Dan came out himself to touch it up the next day. They even replaced the weather flashing in the front door and put a few screws into a deteriorated raised garden bed at no extra charge! In short - Dan's team is comprised of a bunch of professional guys who do quality work at a competitive price; they care about how your home looks as much as you do. I'd definitely hire them again.

If there were a report card for contractors, Muir Painting would score "A+" in all categories. They certainly live up to their slogan: "Thorough Preparation, Quality Materials, Expert Application, Careful Clean-up." Dan Muir and his employees were an outstanding team. I so appreciated Dan's prompt responses to phone calls and questions, and the skill, proficiency, and professionalism of his employees. They did a beautiful job. I want to also give special recognition to Matt who was the team lead person. He was so kind, patient and approachable. Thank you for a job well done. You get my vote for "Super Service Award 2017."

Dan and his crew were friendly, punctual, tidy and very professional. They let me know in advance when they were coming. They worked efficiently without disrupting our schedule at all. Dan made sure we were happy with the job, walking the perimeter with us and checking for any needed tough ups or problems. We would certainly call Muir again. in fact, we have asked to have someone from his crew work on a project inside our home.

Muir Painting exceeded my expectations and delivered a very positive, easy, stress-free experience. The price was within just a few dollars of other quotes I had. I approached this painting project with a sense of dread, expecting some of the delays, excuses and aggravation that some contractors deliver. None of that materialized. With only a short window of weather opportunity available, Owner Dan Muir sent out two crews, (8 men, I think), and they began arriving a half hour ahead of schedule at 6:30AM. All were cordial and professional. and they worked with speed and efficiency like a well-oiled machine. There were no unexplained absences or goofing around. On Day 1, they worked from 7:00AM to 4:00PM and took 30 minutes for lunch. Taping and painting was completed in a single day with a high degree of competence and efficiency. On Day 2, they painted the trim in half a day. There was no drama whatsoever. They took care to cover and move my patio furniture and BBQ. They did no damage to my landscaping and cleaned up after themselves. The one detail they could have paid more attention to was re-caulking around the windows, which Dan immediately addressed when it was brought to his attention. It's such a treat to encounter this level of proficiency. As a customer, I find it far preferable to have eight painters working for a day and a half than to have two painters here all week. I love that approach and am very happy with the results. I almost didn't hire Muir Painting but I'm very glad now that I did. Dan Muir is well-organized and responsive and he delivers!
Description of Work: Muir Painting painted the exterior of my 6,000sf Lake Oswego home in March/April 2017 and sanded and re-stained the soffit on my back porch. The prep. work, ie sanding and pressure washing, was done a couple of weeks prior to painting. Last year, I had had a very bad experience with another painter, who removed me from his schedule because he didn't want to answer any questions. This delayed my project and probably negatively influenced my expectations of the next painter.

His crew came right when he said they would, foreman was very professional and respectful of my home. Crew worked well with each other. They had two guys out sick and asked to finish the next day, when I said that would be very difficult for me Dan put on his whites and helped get it done that day. I've spent two days looking for flaws cause I think I should be timely with callbacks and have found nothing.

This paint job was the BEST. I went to Rodda Paint & chose a base color & Trim color. The velvet finish paint that he told me to get really looked like velvet when the paint job was finished. This house never looked so good. The Crew was the Best !!! and did everything and then some. I thank Mr. Muir for his expertise. The Crew for their meticulousness. I was a conscientious worker during my working days & I appreciate this when I see it in others.
Description of Work: My one-level house needed exterior painting ( 1,000 sq.ft size) built in 1991 with T-111 siding. Muir Painting informed me that T-111 siding needs to have the the grooves filled in by rolling in the paint from the bottom up to get in between the grooves. This was not even mentioned by a prior painter the last time the house was painted. I wanted a very good job this time. Mr. Muir said the crew would spray paint, brush in by hand to fill & penetrate the wood fibers. A double coat would be done. I needed a great job for a reasonable price. Other offers did not even compete.

The trim looked fine but the rest could have been painted better. There was overspray on parts that didn't need paint, like an exterior outlet box and shed piers, and no paint on some areas that should have been painted, like in eves and on house corners where the original color is showing.. There was also masking left on the house that I had to remove and trash left around like drink cans, cups and masking stuff on the ground that I had to clean up. I had showed Dan one of the areas that was missed but he just shined me on and didn't get it corrected and it is still unpainted to this day. Guess I'll have to do that too. Also, my house was painted by the previous owner in 2009 yet Dan insisted there was lead paint so charged me $5,000 for scraping off the "lead" paint? and painting 3 sides of the house and trim ( front was brick). I thought this was a little much. He was Johnny on the spot for his money but not at fixing mistakes. In retrospect, I should not have paid him until I was satisfied. My mistake. Don't you make the same. I will add that they did do a good job on the trim and front door. Overall I was not happy with their total job.

Response from Muir Painting
I find it interesting that I can't remember this client calling me for a touch up. When any customer calls me I put them on a list and try to get it done in a week. In regards to the lead paint issue, this house was about 70 years old so it does not matter what the last coat of paint was, what matters is what is under it.

Took them 8 months to come out and do touch up after many requests, but only after I finally threatened to hire someone else to do it and take them to small claims for the cost. He brags about making $1 million a year and is too busy to do these touch ups. All this income but can't hire professional painters? This guy is a complete jerk and needs some anger management. I wouldn't hire this guy again to do finger painting much less a house .

Early on, one gentleman came & power washed the house. The weather kept us guessing from day to day, but Dan kept us informed. Once we had a clear day, the crew came & did the entire job in one day. They arrived early in the day & didn't leave until everything was done. They were very professional & nice as well. We wanted a type of paint that was not part of their offering, but we agreed that we would pay the difference in order to use Benjamin Moore - made us all happy.

Exceptional experience! From the moment i contacted Muir Painting on Angies list until the painting was finished was exceptional. Within 24 hrs of contacting Muir, we had a quote and a voicemail offering to answer any questions or concerns. We booked the job 3 months later. After booking the job, the cleaning took place a week later and the entire job on a 3600 sq ft house was completed in 1 day. They sent out 3 crews and painted the exterior, trim and various other details all in 1 day. It was incredible. The work and attention to detail was tremendous. The clean up was also done very well. Every conversation we had with Dan Muir was easy and effective. We were totally thrilled with our experience with Muir Painting and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We needed our entire exterior of our house repainted including trim, doors and garage doors. We have cedar siding so the painting would require a time consuming brush in along with the spraying.
