Painting went fine but garage floor did not. We waited longer to drive in it than the directions but the “paint” came off. University Painters are not experts in garage floors and we recommended they do not attempt to do them in the future. Of course we thought they were working with us to resolve the issue but, after 6 months, no reimbursement has been received even though we have documentation and admission of failure and costs would be reimbursed.. we are very disappointed with Jonathan. We accepted his word which, as we have learned, is worthless. We hired another company to strip what was left on our garage floor and redo the work correctly. We are not asking for University Painters to pay to have it redone - just reimburse the original cost and what it cost to have it removed.
Description of Work: We hired Jonathan and his team to paint the entire interior of our new home, stain the concrete in the basement and app you the garage floor. This was a brand new home ready and primed for the Painters. The work on the basement was fine, the paint on the walls was fine. However, the apoxy came off the garage floor when we drove on it. We tried working with Jonathan and he tried making Home Depot responsible. We have been patient. We simply asked for a refund of the amount we paid to have the garage floor done by University and the cost to have it removed. Jonathan agreed and even put in e-mails that he would feel the same way. We paid University per our original agreement. However, apparently Jonathan and University Painters do not need to pay amounts they agree to. Having followed up several times and agreeing to allow 3 payments, we just get excuses like “ I could pay you or keep my house”. Playing on our good nature and sympathies. We have been totally honest with Jonathan and very patient.

Response from University Painters
I explained to this customer that I would reimburse her for the issue. I had told her I just needed more time to get the funds together since it was a large expense--which is where I thought we left things during our last correspondence. (The paint store recommended the wrong product. We attempted to seek reimbursement directly from this supplier, but were unsuccessful--so I was left holding the bill.) I've reached out to this customer again in an effort to reaffirm my assurance: that even in the very rare event that something doesn't go according to plan, my only desire is that the customer is taken care and that they're happy with things.

I got a call the day before to let me know when to expect the painters, who showed up right on time. They were EXTREMELY efficient and the rooms look wonderful. I have absolutely no complaints and would definitely hire them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: We needed two rooms painted rather quickly. There was a lot of back and forth communication while we hammered out the details, but Jonathan was very responsive and didn't seem to bat an eye about all of my changed decisions.

The painters, Sergio and Kenny arrived on time and were very pleasant. They introduced themselves and told us what they were going to do. Sergio explained their work process and asked if we had any additions or changes to the work order. The team worked professionally and quickly. In 5 1/2 hours the work was beautifully done. Our last painter had left paint on the white ceiling--no paint marks from this job! Sergio and Kenny even cleaned up any paint spots on our hardwood floors. I would definitely hire this group again.

Jonathan was prompt and professional in preparing for and conducting the in-home estimate. The crew member who completed the job was very professional, and took the time to answer any questions we had during the project. There was a miscommunication regarding the extent of surface work to be performed which resulted in a higher labor cost and when we raised the concern, Jonathan acted swiftly to resolve the issue. It is due to his prompt handling of the issue that we will hire University Painters for future projects. They understand the meaning of excellent customer service!

It was fantastic. Called for free estimate they arrived right on time. The price was right so we hired them. Set up time for them to come they were here on time and always let us know when they were leaving and time for them to come back. Any painting that has to be done in the future inside or outside will be done by University Painters.

University Painters did an excellent job from beginning to end. Jonathan responded to our initial inquiry quickly and scheduled a time to meet and go over our needs. Once we chose University Painters, they got our job into their schedule within 2 weeks and in 5 days, the job was done. Jonathan was always responsive to our questions. Sergio was the Lead painter/foreman for the job and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He is very conscientious of his work and wouldn't leave unless we were completely satisfied.

Having Jonathan out to get an estimate and setting up the job was super easy. Tyler did an unbelievably thorough job at cleaning, prepping, priming, and painting the exterior trim and woodwork all over our house. He also painted our garage door and window shutters. He was excellent at communicating with us and so diligent as he worked, throughout the 9-10 days total that he was here. He noticed and took care of so many small things that we never would have considered, ending in a better result than we ever could have expected. We just replaced our garage door and will be having University Painters out to paint it to match the shutters. Could not recommend them highly enough!

The work was done in the time frame stated, and at the quoted price. I had several questions regarding the project after the initial quote was given, and Jonathon answered all my questions. There was a problem discovered with a rotten board that was not apparent until the work was started, and I received a call from Tyler, my painter, and given options on how I wanted to deal with it. The work was done professionally and I have the highest regard for both Jonathon and Tyler. I have already arranged to have a second project done by University Painters.

Millersville University Painters did an excellent job. They started and completed the project on time and the work they did met our high standards. We have lived in our home for 12 years and the Dryvit on our home and the trim was beginning to weather. They were able to freshen the look of our home as if it were the day we moved in. They were also very reasonably priced. I would hire them for bot exterior and interior painting projects

The process of scheduling was quick. They started within a week. The process of preparing the surface was extensive. They even repaired areas with rotted wood. The job lasted about a week. I was extremely happy with results and received several compliments after all was done.
Description of Work: I have an older wood siding house. The old paint job was horrific. Peeling everywhere. I didn't have high expectations when looking into having it redone. I contacted several different companies for estimates.. I was impressed with the time University Painters spent with me. Gave me a timely estimate that honestly fell midrange among the quotes. The professional yet laid back attitude was a deciding factor.

It was a mixed bag. They made me wait 10 weeks before showing up with a one man "crew" as they were completing outside jobs before the cold weather hit. The painter assigned came late and left early every day...used a consumer steamer not a commercial one to remove wallpaper costing me as I was paying by the hour. The whole job took much longer than expected. Can't complain about the room painting but the cabinet job was not good...didn't use a short nap roller or hang doors properly. The rework was done quickly and professionally by another crew. I must say other than scheduling Jonathon was prompt in returning communications.
Description of Work: Painted 5 rooms, foyer, hallways and kitchen cabinets. Also removed wallpaper from two rooms.

Thank you for your comments. The overwhelming majority of our customers are highly satisfied with our services and I consistently strive to ensure that a customer's experience is enjoyable from beginning to end. I'm sorry though that on your job, there were a couple things we could have done differently. Although most of our jobs on average only take a couple days, or up to a week, this job took longer. In hindsight, I should have had more manpower on the job. I thought it would be OK though since the customer was out of state for the majority of the project and had provided us with a key. That is the reason I didn't pull additional resources from our other projects at the time. The customer was also informed ahead of time by my foreman that the arrival/departure time would be affected since the job was nearly 2 hours away. Lastly, the cabinets indeed needed to be touched-up in spots after they were reinstalled. This was not identified until the following day however, after they had fully dried. After I was made aware that next day that there was a coverage issue where the touch-ups were performed, I immediately sent one of my crews there the very next day to remedy the issue--in an effort to make sure the customer was completely satisfied with the work. Thank you again and just know that we are out there trying to do our best to consistently provide a great service to our customers.
