Chris Hauser Painting, Inc.

First of all, Chris was fast to provide us with an estimate and honest timeline for the work to be done. His estimate was middle of the road, which I think assured me with good quality work/ value of the job. Once the work commenced, the team was very punctual, hard working and respectful of our home. I appreciate the longevity of Chris' staff and their professionalism. They completed the job in three days which was sooner than I thought. They worked some extra hours to make this happen. Thank you! Some specific challenges that they conquered was moving some very heavy furniture in the area to be painted. They returned the area painted to the pre-work condition that included a thorough clean up and return of fixtures and window treatments.

Before they began painting, Chris noticed a large crack in the wall. They had a specialist come out to take a look, and they discovered that I had a cracked beam, which definitely needed to be corrected, and they did. I also have a cork covering on a drop ceiling that I've been wanting to remove for quite awhile. The previous owners used a nail gun to install the ceiling, which caused quite a lot of effort to remove, and I was very pleased with the end result. They took care of so many details, and it feels like I'm in a new house!

Very well. The painters did high quality work, cleaned up behind themselves and left no dust or trace. Excellent work!

Fine. Chris's men were hard working, careful, pleasant, polite and very competent. They did a great job preparing the surfaces and were careful with edges. The finished work was lovely,

Horribly. The reason for the late review is that I'm now just repainting some of the rooms that he did. My new painter is pointing out the incredibly sloppy job done by this company. Wall paint on the trim. Trim paint on the walls. Poor cut-in lines all over the place. Did not do simple things like remove receptacle covers and switch plates. The paint in two of the bathrooms which get very little use is starting to crack and peel. (Benjamin Moore says he used the wrong kind of paint for bathrooms. Instead of purchasing the proper paint, he purchased the "cheap stuff" that wasn't designed for use in bathrooms.) I cannot believe that I didn't pay closer attention to the work that he did, but he dealt mainly with my wife. If anyone needs to see pictures, I'd be happy to email you some, although the rooms will soon be repainted properly as in addition to painting other rooms, my current painter is going over his work and doing it properly. "Professional" - not hardly. And forget cheap. We paid top dollar for this work as well. (My wife was so annoyed at the guy because he was so difficult to deal with that she threw his lawn signs away after he left them there for about a month after the work was done. That got his attention, because he whined that we owed him $50 a piece for his signs.)

Chris is a true professional painter. Chris will show up on time, give a complete and accurate estimate and offer honest feedback about your job. Once contracted, you can be sure that Chris and his team will show up on time when scheduled. Anyone who has hired contractors knows that this quality alone is worth gold. He and his team are polite and neat when performing the work. We have hired Chris twice to do work in our home. Obviously we were happy if we invited him back.. Chris has been in business for a long time and will work to resolve any issues if you are unhappy or unsure about the work, Chris is not the cheapest contractor but he is fair and reasonable. IN this case- you get what you pay for. If you want the job done right and on time- this is your company.

Do pick out your own paint but allow him to purchase it from retailer. Chris is very honest about his time frame and won't schedule you if he can't make the deadlines.

I'm in a process of looking at other estimates also and I'm considering him. He was very positive. He came properly and quickly. He went to his truck and gave me an estimate right there. He was efficient. I have two other estimates and from what I see is, he is kind of in the ballpark for the work.

Chris Hauser gave us a quote for the job in the fall of 2010, but had to postpone the work till spring 2011 because of cold weather. He did the job in April. The work was done in a meticulous and professional manner, and in timely fashion in spite of rain delays. We did not shop for other painters, but chose Chris because he had been recommended by an acquaintance who does house renovations, and we were not disappointed. His price seemed reasonable and the work was first rate. I would recommend him without reservation.

They are very honest and good workers. I felt his pricing was very fair and he was quick to respond. I feel he is very personable and responsible. We trusted him so much, he even did some painting while we were away from the home. We would use them again if we still lived in the area.
