There was a bit of miscommunication about the date, but that may have been my oversight. The two men who did the painting were skilled, thorough, respectful and non-smokers, which is important to me. I plan to have them paint my exterior in the spring.

We did not elect to do the work for this customer even though she called us to do work for a second time We simply could not agree and were not willing to provide our service under the circumstances present at this job site the deal kept changing and the work required was changing as well we were unable to agree to the schedule or the changes and frankly did not want to end up in a bad situation as all of her other contractors seemed to.. apparently this made [Member Name Removed] mad and she posted this negative review We APP try but can not make everyone happy all the time.

It went extremely well. I was VERY impresses with the professionalism of the entire crew and want to thank Steve, John, Tim and Bob for a job well done!
Description of Work: Power washed, prepped the house filling in any blemishes with caulking (even drove in a few loose nails), masked everything extremely well and when finished painting cleaned up very thoroughly, they even caught a couple of very small mistakes during the walk around I had missed and fixed them right away.

Great, paint job has lasted 11 years and I have having them come back and paint my house again. This is a house built in 1915 with shiplap siding and double hung windows with cross hatches. They made recommendations on what should be painted in the trim color which were great recommendations. Covered my shrubs and cleaned up. The project took 4 weeks and was an easy experience for me. I looked at other older house they painted.
Description of Work: Painted my house and garage - 3 colors.

We have a custom house built in 2006. The cabinets (painted white) chipped very easily, because of a poor job by the original painter. We feared they would all have to repainted, and that the cost would be very high. However, their estimator, Steve, said he would remove the bad doors and drawers, take them to his shop, sand & repaint. His crew also touched up many places. We thought it would be impossible to match old paint, because of fading. However, Steve and his crew did an outstanding job. The doors did look a little too shiny at first, but he said they would match the existing within a few days, once the new paint had fully cured (that was about a week and a half ago, and they look fine. The touchup also looks good. Overall, he repainted about a third of our doors/drawers, and touched up several dozen areas. It is virtually impossible to tell the cabinets were ever repainted. Because it was hard to define the scope, Steve couldn't give a fixed price bid, so he did the work Time and Materials. I have a construction background, and I am always leery of T&M. However, Steve seemed very trustworthy, and his reviews on Angies were very high. He estimated, though, that it wouldn't be over $2,000. In the end, the total was $1,600. His workers (Brandon & Brian) were very professional, thorough, and quick. We did not see any wasted motion. The whole job took about a week from start to finish. Steve came out at least twice that week, as well as the following week to follow up. He even reinstalled a door knob free! There was only one area that didn't come out quite right, and he will fix that when he comes out to paint the outside of the house, which we gave him the contract forbecause this job went so well. I only mention this minor point only to emphasize thier attention to quality and customer satisfaction.

They did all the prep work (power washed first) incl removing items attached to buildings and put them back up when done. Had enough people on the job so all was finished in 5 days (one work week). They were careful of my plants, neatened up at the end of every day, cheerful, professional, did good work.
Description of Work: Painted house, large shop (30X60' building), pump house, garden shed incl. metal security doors and building doors. Prime coat on all, 2 shades plus whatever it took to cover prime paint, replaced rotten boards, minor repairs.

Academy Award painting did a wonderful and professional job on the four (4) bedrooms we had painted and the colors for the bedrooms were painted just as we wanted. The team cleaned up and left no mess behind which I was very happy with. I enjoyed working with them and would recommend them to everyone and plan to use them again for my own needs.

I emailed the company and the owner contacted me within 24 hours. He gave me a fair and reasonable estimate, detailing what services he would provide. He was really knowlegable about painting, plus a very outgoing guy to work with. when the time arrived for the painting, the crew arrived and went to work. It was amazing to see how each person knew his responsibility. They worked HARD the whole day and completed the work within several days. I would recommend then. They are prompt, courteous, and professional. It was a really good experience for me!

I really liked the guy, but he was just too high. The bid was quite detailed and it probably wasn't high for what he was going to do, but it was just more than I wanted to spend. He would do two coats with Miller Paint and the others use Sherwin-Williams, but I was real happy with the owner of Academy Award Painting and the people that he had painting. In fact his cousin was the lead painter and him and his cousin had painted together for quite a while. His cousin leaves in Redding, California and my cousin lives in Redding California. Personally I really liked him, but his price was too much. He did impress me as being very professional and for what he was going to do I thought he was fair on his price.

I had the estimate done and they were the least expensive of four. The thing that sold me though, was his explanation of the insurance coverage that he and that some painters may not carry. So if one of his workers fell off a ladder I would not be responsible for it. I looked it up on line and it was true some painters do not carry it and or has let it expired. My house was built in 2006 and is about 2200 square feet. No major problems with it, just the paint was fading and caulking needed to be replaced. Workers started at 8 am each day. First day was pressure washing which was simple. Informed me that they were going to start painting the following day. Painting went really well. the amazing thing was is that I work grave yard shift and I was still able to sleep in until 10 each morning. the crew was very quite. I checked on there progress every so often and all workers were working every time I came out. I did not see any of them goofing off and or wasting time. Every worker was very polite which surprised me just because I have heard other people stories that did not go as well as mine. Third day they did the trim and the door. They staid an extra 2.5 hours that day so they would not have to bother me on a saturday, that is the only day that I have off with me wife, that was very appreciated. Every day they cleaned up their mess and even when we were doing the walk around the foreman or lead of the crew was pointing out little tiny messes that I was not noticing. He had his crew fix them immediately the attention to detail was very appreciated. I would love for more people to use them. I had a great experience and I wish I could afford them to do the inside. I will be recommending them to any one and every one I know.

They did great. They did it at the price they said they would do it for, which was fine and not really low; I would have liked to have gotten it for a lesser price. I received other bids, and they were right there with other people. They completed the work really quick; I think they brought a lot of people with them once they got started. I was concerned that the lives of the tenants would be disrupted, but they were really wonderful about that. I was very happy working with them as well as with the way that the work turned out. The house looks great. I would rate them highly and would absolutely recommend them.

We like working with them. When they say they are going to get something done, they get it done. They are very hard workers. The quality of their work is very good. They stay right within the price that they estimate. They come over and look at what needs to be done before doing it. They also confirm with me what they are doing.

They did a good job and I don?t have any complaints about them. I would suggest selecting the colors before they are applied to the doors. We did that in some cases and not in others and one of the colors didn?t come out the way we hoped it would.
