Overall, the service was super.
Description of Work: I contracted in the spring to have the exterior of my house painted. Let the company know that I would be out of town until Sept. Markantone let me know about a week in advance that they would start on Sept 22. The crew arrived at 7am each morning and worked until about 3pm. They cleaned up at the end of each day. The job took 6 days and there was a crew of 4 or 5 people. The house looks very good. Would definitely use them again.

(Member Name Removed), May I take this opportunity to thank you for such an accurate review for the members of Angie's List to read and decide for themselves on choosing a painting contractor. We have more services at this time and the craftsmen are always desiring more "interior painting" during the cold winter months of Pennsylvania. Call us again for an estimate as we would be glad to serve you in the near future. With regards, Luke Markantone

They are a premium service and we have used them before. They are extremely professional, talented, and good but very expensive.

Luke arrived right on time (maybe even a few minutes early) and he was very professional. I liked that he took off his shoes to walk around my house. He got right to work taking notes and measuring the woodwork. We wanted to have all of the doors and trim inside our house painted white. They're currently stained a dark brown color but are in very bad shape because the previous owners were careless with paint. The original staining job was not done very well either. We have a 3-story, 1900 sq. ft. house so there was a lot of trim to be painted. I ended up having a great conversation with Luke and was happy to hear that he treats his employees very well and provides health insurance for them. Unfortunately, he gave us an estimate of about $9,500 to paint all of the trim in our house. The three other companies that came out gave us estimates of $4,800, $4,035, and $2,000. I have no doubt that this company would do an excellent job. If I lived in an historic house or an expensive neighborhood like Shadyside, it would probably be worth the investment. However, my house is located in a blue collar neighborhood and we could not justify spending that much on the paint job.
Description of Work: Luke Markantone gave me an estimate for painting the trim inside my house. Despite the fact that I really liked Luke and was confident that his company would do an excellent job, I did not select his company to do the job.

I've always worked with the best of recommended painters, and this was one of the very best companies. Neat, knowledgeable, thorough, on time, worked the entire time, and very competent. The rooms were better when finished and the walls better prepared than the original work done on the house.
Description of Work: Cleaned, primed, finished, and painted walls and woodwork in three large rooms, including a brand new kitchen.

LUKE PROVIDED AN IN-PERSON ESTIMATE AND PAINTING CONSULTATION FOR OUR INTERIOR PAINT JOB. ALTHOUGH WE ARE NOT YET IN A POSITION TO BRING ON A PAINTER (HAVING DISCOVERED TOO MANY OTHER ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED FIRST), LUKE WOULD DEFINITELY BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. HE WAS PROFESSIONAL, ATTENTIVE, COURTEOUS, AND CLEARLY VERY TALENTED AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT HIS ART. AS THOSE WHO HAVE HIRED HIM UNDOUBTEDLY KNOW, HE DOES NOT WORK CHEAP -- BUT HIS RESULTS ARE WORTH THE PRICE, BASED ON THE SAMPLES OF HIS WORK WE HAVE SEEN
