Their quote was competitive with another painter we were considering, The prep crew identified and repaired more defects than even I was aware of. After they were done, you couldn't tell where the defects were originally. As we went along we had to expand the work to more rooms than I had anticipated, and they were able to do so without interruption. The painters did a good job of keeping paint off our hardwood flooring when doing the molding and kept a good ceiling line despite our not having the ceilings painted. All in all, they were very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. We have recommended them to several of our neighbors.
Description of Work: We purchased a large townhouse that needed prep and painting due to holes from numerous anchors and from TVs mounted on walls. There were also several bad settling cracks, as well as assorted stains and scuffs on the walls..

The Cook brothers are excellent to work with. They were working on our project within a week of calling them. They are very professional and will correct anything that goes wrong. Their workers are punctual and are courteous enough to call if they will be late. They will do small and large jobs. I was very pleased with the results and would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: It started out with removing wallpaper from the kitchen walls and grew into a much larger project, including painting the kitchen, breakfast nook, living room, hallway and upstairs hallway. The crew also replaced the living room ceiling and installed flooring and a pantry cabinet. New windows installed in kitchen and breakfast room.

Jim and his team are fantastic. I've/we've had them do several different projects on our house and other locations (prior houses, investment properties etc). They ALWAYS do their job on time and on budget. They are easy with which to work too. They have also done projects in a "pinch". For example, when a storm knocked over one of our trees and it damaged our house, they repaired the fascia (sp?) board and repainted the damaged area within a few days. Most importantly, Jim and his team have the integrity to do what they promise. We have all heard horror stories of contractors that make promises and never follow through. Jim and his team have always done what they promise. When we purchased our hose, we had extensive work on all facets of our house (new roof, windows, chimney, kitchen, electrical, plumbing, hardwood floors etc). We basically gutted the house. Of the 15 contractors with which we worked, Jim Cook Painting is literally at "THE" top of our contractor ranking list. We loved having them work in our house as they treated the property as their own. I cannot be effusive in my praise of Jim and his team.
Description of Work: Removed wallpaper, prepared surfaces, performed minor repairs, painted walls ceilings, etc

Jim and his people provided excellent service. They were timely and stayed on the job until done. My house is a three story Queen Anne Victorian with six colors. They prepped, sanded and applied primer where needed. Important to my wife is that the guys were very careful around her abundant plantings. They repaired my weather vane sitting high atop the house and erected scaffolding to do much of their work. The painting went well and has held up just fine.There were some very high and difficult to reach places that they painted as well. I have no reservations about Jim, his workers or the quality of his job.

Description of Work: They are painting the outside of my house, and they are doing a wonderful job. They are reliable and very cooperative,and they took great care to prepare the surface by scraping and sanding for days. They are using a high-quality paint, too. They seem to be taking the same care on my house that they would take on their own houses. I am very impressed. While their price was higher than the two other estimates, I know that I am getting my money's worth.

They are an excellent company! They were professional, quick, and they do the little things that make all the difference. I would highly recommend them and would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: They painted the roof on my 4,500 sq foot building. They scrubbed the roof really well before painting it. It is a metal roof, which is a different kind of paint and process than regular jobs.
