CTE Painting

Mike was fantastic! He came out and gave me a fantastic quote. I knew he was busy and it would take a week or two to get onto his schedule. But when we did was fast and professional and did a wonderful job! He does great work at a great price which explains why he gets so busy! So worth the short wait!!

Called to get a quote and he came out later that week which was fine. He emailed me a quote later in the week and his price was very reasonable. When it came close for him to start the job, I had to call him twice to get a response. Once he finally called me I told him the colors that I wanted and he says to me that he needs to add $100 for each color since he doesn't like the labor of multiple paint colors (I had 9). So his quote was inaccurate and while it was still cheaper than others I grew very reluctant to move forward given his unreliable information and lack of responsiveness.

Everything went great! This is the 3rd time I have used CTE painting for my house and every time it has gone great. The are punctual, professional, great painters and cleaned up well after they finished.

We set up an evening appointment with Mike for an estimate for interior painting. No one showed up. We called again that night to reschedule and left a message. No one ever called back.

They showed up on time and completed project timely. They did a good job, not great. There was a lot of clean up to do. Attention to detail was lacking; windows were not completely scraped, nail holes not uniformly filled or sanded, lint from a bad roller covered one entire wall. Also broke a mirror in one bathroom. Offers to come back and fix and pay for mirror were unfulfilled after several attempts to contact. They were less expensive than other estimates which as oher reviews noted, I now know why.

I sent a message, but no one ever got back to me.

They said they would be done in three days, and they completed it on the third day at 4:00pm. Overall they did a great job. All of the walls they did look great, and they used two coats in every room. My largest complaints would be regrading their prep and completion. While I will say that CTE was half the price of the other two competitive quotes we got, that discount includes a lot of work on your part. We had to empty all of the curio's and china hutch, and book cases that needed moved that were not solid quality needed emptied as well. When they were finished on the third day, they left behind a mess for us to clean-up. We had a lot of spackle work that needed done around all the doors and windows, and the dust piles on the floorboards and floor were everywhere. Moving and clean-up after the painting was included in the other quotes we received, so it just surprised us when we had to do it with CTE (but at half the price we now understand). The quality of the work was top notch, and if you don't mind doing the work you'd be paying extra for with other painters, then I highly recommend Michael and his team.

CTE team did a great job painting both the interior and exterior of my house and they also stained 7 sliding doors. I called them on a Friday and they returned my call the following Monday. We scheduled the work in about two weeks. I have read some reviews where people didn't even use CTE's service and the complaint is that their call wasn't returned. Well, maybe they left their message on someone else' voice mail. For me, to get such a good quality of service from CTE, I would call them back if I didn't hear from them. They do seem to be very busy which I think speaks to the demand for their quality of service. The team was very professional and completed their work in two days. They covered all of my furniture and and cleaned up after their work was completed for the day. I used CTE to paint my house about 10 years ago and received the same quality of service then as I did this time. I think this speaks volumes about the consistency and quality of their work.

Excellent.

I am very pleased with the job Michael and his assistants did, both times. They are very neat and work quickly. They clean up after they are done and the paint looks fantastic. He is a little difficult to get on the phone, but he usually gets back to you later in the evening. I appreciated the fact that he did not spend time on the phone when he was here doing the job. He does tend to put the work off, but it usually weather related. When he has an outside job he must get it in when it is not raining, so inside jobs are worked around the weather. He picks up the paint and the cost of the paint is added to his labor cost. The paint his bought at his contractor's price, so he does save you a little money there. He does honor the 10% discount coupon from the value pak. All in all I am very pleased with his work.

I called this company and spoke with Mike. Very nice over the phone and he set an appointment to give me an estimate on the ceilings I needed painted. That was the last I heard of him. The night of the appointment he didn't show. I waited a half hour thinking he may be running late or forgot and called and left a message. I called again the following day, left another message and never heard back. Looking at the other reviews, this appears to be a pattern with this person. What a waste of time !

I called this person, also under the name of C.T.E. paining. He did come and give me an estimate for my living room, ceiling, and stairwell -- $1100 after a 10%coupon I had. We did not have much time to shop around so I took his offer. He said he will call to set a day next week to start the project. At which point he went missing. By monday I was planning to look for another company when he called and said he is still planing to do the project and was just out of town for a few days. Unfortunately, I believed him and did not find another painter. So now that he has been missing for another week, and not returned calls I am stuck looking for someone and am 2wks behind schedule for the rest of the ongoing construction, and into winter. Dont let him waste your time!!!

I called this individual and set up an appointment for an estimate for wallpaper removal and painting of 2 rooms and hallway and entryway. Not a small job. His ad specifically states "Free Estimates". I spoke to him and set up an appointment for Wednesday evening at 5:00pm. He never came. He never called. A waste of time.
