Brian is a truly lovely man and a great guy to work with. We are putting the house on the market and he and I walked through the house discussing what made sense to do before he gave me a price. We let him pick all the colors. We gave Brian a key - trusting him completely. I had called references who raved about him and his work and who had advised they trusted him completely. Brian showed up when he said he would, got the job done relatively quickly, discussed with me any issues that arose as he was doing the job, and left everything clean and neat each day. While I paid for some add ons (which of course we discussed first and I agreed to - or I requested on my own), I felt Brian did more than he had agreed for the set price. Have already recommended him to others. Our realtor was so impressed that she too has already recommended him to others. Prices are very fair, but not cheap.
Description of Work: Brian painted most of the inside of the house, fixing all the cracks first, had an electrician do some minor work, had a handyman do some modest outside repairs, and had a window washer clean all of the windows (inside and out, including storm windows).

I needed a quick turn on this project due to my schedule. Brian provided me with an estimate on Saturday, which was on par with 2 other painter estimates I received, and was able to schedule the work for the following Thursday. He completed my project 1 day ahead of schedule. My kitchen was all new drywall, while the dining room maintained the original plaster walls from the 1950's. After priming and painting the 2 rooms, Brian noticed the ceiling colors were slightly off because of the old and new surfaces between the 2 rooms. He was already resolving the problem before I even noticed there was an issue. I am very happy with the final result, the room looks beautiful. I would use Curran painting in the future.
Description of Work: I had a kitchen renovation completed where a wall was removed between the kitchen and dining room. The newly created space was primed and painted - ceiling, walls and trim - to look like one cohesive space. All woodwork/trim was also caulked, and any holes or dings in the drywall/plaster were fixed.

Description of Work: Very nice & prompt for the estimate. the estimate arrived via email and when asked to provide details of the esimate there was no response. The estimate was apparently was extremely high when compared to the other bids I received, from non Angie's list providers. Do get as many quotes as you can and weed out those your not comfortable with. Wayne

Curran Painting Inc. is a terrific company. They are priced competatively, they completed the job ahead of schedule, they protected our tenants property well and cleaned up afterwards! Brian Curran was very professional, he handled a tricky tenant issue easily and responded well to issues as they came up. We highly recomment this company and will use them in the future.
Description of Work: This job entailed painting an entire apartment in Center City. We needed the work to be completed following lead paint protocals. There was quit a lot of preparation work, including cracked and chipped trim around 10' windows, many old wooden shutters, 12' ceilings with substantial molding and baseboards.

Brian and his team were very professional, they were required to remove wallpaper and paint the complete interior of our 100 year old home working around the floor refinisher and the installation of central air. We were getting all this done in one month before we moved in. Brian also worked with our interior designer following the paint selections and making recommendations in some instances. The repair work done on the walls before painting was superb they also had to remove wallpaper from a number of closets including the ceilings. At times construction was required after Brian's team had finished there work (eg. new ceiling fans), Brian came back through and fixed any painting issues this caused. The total job took about 4 weeks and they managed the time extremely well. The paint looks great, all the molding and ceilings were done as well and it is perfect. In the future we will do the exterior and would call Brian first.

The exterior of my home was in desperate need of scraping and painting. When Brian came to give me an estimate he explained each procedure that he would take care of, each area of the house that need scraping and painting. He had a nice way about him, I felt like I was speaking with a friend, and I immediately trusted him. After reading reviews I used Brian and his crew and was most satisfied. The job was done carefully, very clean and well done. I am giving him a high recommendation.

They did an excellent job - moved/covered furniture where necessary, repaired/caulked trim, and left everything clean and neat each evening. They moved furniture back when the job was completed (ahead of schedule). The repainted rooms look beautiful. All in all, a very professional job.

Brian and his crew were very professional. He arrived on time to do the estimate. Provided us a written estimate via email within a day or two. I had some concerns about the type of paint he planned to use, I wanted a zero VOC, and he was very responsive to all my questions. They were able to start the job a few days early and completed everything in 3 days. They were always on time and cleaned up after themselves everyday. Overall they did a great job and I will definitely use them again. I rated them an "A" on everything except quality which I rated a "B". The reason for the B rating on quality is because some of the walls had roller marks on them. It still looks good overall, just a few areas that aren't "perfect" when the sunlight shines on them.
Description of Work: Brian and his crew painted our foyer, family room, morning room, kitchen, hallway,master bedroom and bath. The foyer and family room are two story. All the rooms on the fisrt floor were a single color with one accent wall in the family room. The master bedroom and bath were a different color with one accent wall in the bedroom. We recently had the house constructed and while the drywall was in decent shape there are a few areas with nail pops and cracks along the drywall seams. They tried to fix all that they saw but I have found some areas that I will need to redo. I know this isn't Brian's fault by any means. I'm just maybe more particluar than most folks.

The job went very smoothly. They were able to start sooner than originally planned and completed the job quickly. The walls and ceiling looked great and the crew did a good job on clean up. There was no paint were there shouldn't have been paint.
Description of Work: Curran Painting prepped and painted the walls and ceilings of four large rooms and a large hallway in our new home.

This was a large job for repairing and exterior painting of a Spanish style stucco home. To add to the difficulty, I relocated and needed to manage this project from over 1,000 miles away. I traveled up to the home and met with about six contractors. I advised the contractors that the home needed to be painted in order to put it on the market for sale. I received five bids for the project and selected Curran Painting becasue they had the best recommendations on what was needed for the home to look its best. Their bid was mid-range compared to the other bids received, but I felt confident they would not cut corners since I was going to sale the home. Some contractors recommended to cover up some of the repairs needed with paint since I was "getting rid of it". Curran recommended to repair the problem areas and provided an estimate for additional repairs promptly. I paid for the project in 1/3 increments. The crew started repairs even before I sent the deposit. The project took approximately two weeks to complete as projected. I coordinated for Brian Curran and his crew to have access into my home during my absence. The carpentry and chimney repairs were completed first along with priming of the doors. I was able to meet the crew after the start of the project and found them to be courteous and professional during my visit. Brian even made some more small recommendations, such as a new mail box slot for the door. I had to select an exterior color for the home based on a color number prior to my arrival so that the paint could be purchased. Once I saw the color in person, I wasn't that thrilled. The paint had already been purchased but only a test area had been completed. Curran was able to modify the color to my liking by taking all the paint back to the store to lighten the color, at no additional cost to me. I made the 2nd payment Curran and had to leave to go back home. Brian Curran was accessible every time I had a question about the process or status of the project. I felt completely comfortable that things would go smoothly. And they did. The only surprise was that the chimney had more damage than anticipated and cost an extra $300 to repair. I had to leave before the project was completed and relied on my realtor's feedback on the paint job. My realtor and everyone else was very impressed with the result. I then sent the final payment, sight unseen. Well, Brian did send some good pictures. I told Brian Curran that I was going by the home later after the project was completed. He advised me to let him know if any corrections were needed even though I had paid the final payment and they would come out to address. Well, I visited the home and it looks as good as it did in the pictures that Brian Curran sent me. I am very please with the result and thanks to Brian and his crew for a job well done.

Brian Curran completed a massive job of wallpaper removal, skim coating, priming, wood work, and painting the entire first floor, stairwell, hallway, and two bedrooms of my home with absolutely beautiful results. Brian worked with one other crew member and completed the work earlier than expected. The men were efficient, extremely clean, and professional from the initial estimate until the job was completed. Knowing that I am pregnant, Brian made sure that all of the paints were low VOC and that we were not displaced longer than we needed to be. I would definitely recommend Curran Painting to anyone needing interior painting done and would not hesitate to use them again.

Brian was very responsive from my first e-mail throughout the job. I initally sent him an e-mail to which he responded immediately. He came out quickly to give a free estimate; he didn't think our choice of color would work and suggested a more appropriate color which we agreed to - he was absolutely right - the color looks fantastic! He thought he'd need two days, but put in a full day and finished in one. Brian and his associate were both great and very professional.

Brian and his team completed the work over a 3 month period. He and his entire team were punctual, professional and always kept a clean work environment. Brian stayed in constant contact with our General Contractor in order to meet specific time lines and remain coordinated with the other contractors. He also offered up his professional opinion when requested and was very patient with our decision process. I would HIGHLY recommend Curran Painting to anyone who wants the job done right, on time and with an attention to detail. Randy Cramp

I communicated with Brian by phone and email after he visited by house. After making the decision to have him do the work, he was able to start in about 2 weeks. He completed the work on time and at a great price. He may have been a little rushed to complete the work because of rain and so there were a few minor details that needed follow-up. But overall I was pleased with his work and would definitely hire him again.
