73 reviews over 10 yrs on Angies List. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I am the owner of this small painting company thats been in this business for 40 years. I will be the person who comes out to quote your home project. You wont have to wonder who is doing the actual job. That would be me also. Some jobs I am working alone and other times with my youngest son who has been with me for 10 years. We don't start a job and leave it until it's completed. I am on time, and work around the home owners schedule. Being a small company I am able to price each job simply by a per day cost and materials. I will use any paint company you prefer or give you my input on products. Either way, the paints and materials could be added to the quote or I buy the paints and show you the receipt and you reimburse me. A painting contractor should not be making a dime on any product he buys for your home. The discounts that I get are directly passed on to you. Always felt that way. Keep It Simple. Nothing else is added unless you add something. At no extra cost I will do my best to help the home owner with color selection and decorating do's and don'ts Call for free advice and estimates. Licenced and insured. Lic# 4202. Call Day and evening: 450 1040 Thank you, Sam Messina.
Description of Work: I had 2 rooms painted that included walls and trim, and I am so happy with the result! Sam was on time, professional, and performed the work at a fair price. He even came back for touch ups after he had been paid in full. I will definitely call him for my next project.

We highly recommend Sam. He was a very meticulous and tidy painter. He was helpful and informative and took the initiative to contact several paint companies to answer a particular concern we had with our existing paint surface. Despite weather complications this spring, he was able to complete the job within the time frame agreed on.

thank you so much for taking the time to review my company. This job has been one of my best experiences since working with Angie's List members. Homeowners that do there home work before the painter gets involved makes the job move along nicely. thanks again. Sam Messina

Sam power washed, sanded and stained our deck. The price was very reasonable and he was very professional. Sam recommended where we should purchase the stain as well. The deck came out great and we will definitely use him again for our future painting needs!

Due to the age of our house, he advised me to perform an easy (bought at home depot) lead test. Unfortunately, our home tested positive and we will likely vinyl side the house. However, if I ever need painting done on the interior of our house, Sam will be the first painter I call. He's very knowledgable, approachable, and went above and beyond to answer all of my questions. Thanks Sam!

I do appreciate all reviews from Angie's list members even though I didn't do this job it's still great to see the response from members. This member also called me to thank me for coming out to his home and to tell me he hired another contractor, something rarely done. In the future if you need a quote for any other work I will be available for a free estimate. Thank You, Sam Messina.

The job was done efficiently in a few days. Sam picked up paint at the only paint store locally that carries the color that carries my color and utilized his paintors discount. Sam provided recommendations for my garage door also, which was not to paint them as the paint would chip very easily. If he was a different type of person, he may have just gone along with my idea to paint them and pocketed the cash. Sam answers his phone or if painting follows up and returns calls as soon as possible. Sam is a pleasant man to do business with and I would recommend him to others.

Sam is fantastic!! We recently bought a house that had dark green trim and had not been painted in a decade. We contacted several Angie's List recommended contractors for quotes. When Sam showed up, we hired him on the spot. Messina Painting is not some minimum wage painting crew that sprays the house and disappears. Sam works mostly alone. When he needs help, it was his son that helped him. When we hired him, we really felt that the job would get personal attention....and it absolutely did. What really impressed me was that Sam was obsessed with using the painting method that would give the best final result for each part of the house. He was not worried about what was "the fastest." Since we were changing dark green colored trim to a cream color, Sam brush painted the trim with primer then brush painted it a second and even third time, where needed. Since the siding was vertical board, Sam rolled where needed and finished with a brush. Under a raised deck, Sam hand painted with stain block then sprayed to give it an even finish. I really felt like Sam would have painted his own house the exact same way he painted mine. That was the sort of professional attention to detail that he showed. Based upon our experience, this vendor is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

.Sam came highly recommended by Angie's list and quickly demonstrated why he got those recommendations. He was the first to respond to my calls and provided a quick, no-nonsense estimate. It was also the lowest estimate (of 6) and while I am usually chary of taking the low bid on principle, Sam's professional demeanor and relaxed, competent manner convinced me he was the guy. And he was: he said he'd start the job on July 13, and he did. He said he'd finish by the time we had a houseful of company arriving, and he did. He worked quickly, quietly and thoroughly, and he painting was excellent. He even agreed to split the difference on materials when we got a discount coupon from the paint store that was better than his. Overall the experience was excellent. I would recommend Sam very highly.

We were very pleased for a number of reasons. We really apprciated the fact that Sam showed up on time, every time. He is the nicest guy. Also, he made recommendations to us that were instrumental in the way the house came out. Our house is a two story contemporary with a lot of challenging roof lines. It has cedar clapboard that had become weathered in a number of areas. It also had mold growing on the boards that gave it an almost black appearance. After power washing and removing a lot of the mold he made the suggestion to us to use a particular stain that would blend in with the rest of the house. We were very pleased with the outcome and his selection of the color. We really didn't know what would work but Sam has knowledge and experience in what he does and for us it paid off. We trusted him and he did a great job. We would not hesitate to call upon him again and refer him to other people.
Description of Work: Painted the entire trim of our house which a two story contemporary. Stained the soffits. Power washed areas of the house that needed it. Applied stain to cedar clapboard to areas of the house that were bleached out and down to the bare wood. Applied stain to a new cedar shed and painted the trim and doors with a double coat of paint.

Found Sam Messina on Angie's List.Called Sam.He immediately called back.Set up a meeting time.Sam called back with an estimate.We accepted.Gave us a start date.Started on that date.Completed all work within a week.Asked us if we were satisfied.We were.Paid Sam and recommended him to a neighbor.
Description of Work: Sam Messina was a very good choice for the work we needed on our house. He sanded and painted all of our trim and he did an excellent job. We had other estimates (some cheaper ones) but Sam offers a competitive price. So, after all of his work we realized the old saying, "you get what you pay for!" was right. Don't get me wrong, Sam's quote was NOT high...just got a lot of others who bid lower but did not offer the same service as Sam. After meeting with him, I had confidence that he was professional and responsible. We recommended Sam to a neighbor who was just as happy with Sam's work as were we. Overall experience was very good. Call Sam, he responds immediately and keeps his word. Art and Carol Hutchinson

It is so important that for any type work being done there is a certain amount of trust going in. Angies List provides some of that trust just because of how it's set up. But working for some of the best people I have ever met, and there willingness to allow me to arrive at the goal we were both striving for is what makes Angies List work so well. Thank You to all members.

I did not use Messina Painting but will call him in the future.
Description of Work: I was looking for an interior painter. I had received estimates from a number of painters. Although I did not use Messina Painting I felt compelled to write a very positive review. Sam was punctual, professional, and gave me a quote for the job before he left my house. The only reason I didn't use him was purely my fault. We had a miscommunication about the paint I had remaining in my basement. I represented the job I wanted completed inaccuaretly. I would call Sam to give me an estimate to complete interior work in the future.

It went well Sam was very patient and had to come back since the doors and window was delayed more than a month. He did a phenomenal job!
Description of Work: Sam painted almost every room in my house and stained all the doors and windows that we replaced. He did a great job and was extremely flexible as the wood was delayed and had to work around a contractor. I would definitely use him again in the future. My friends are in awe of how beautiful my house looks.

Previous to Sam Messina giving me an estimate and subsequently completing the job, I had another paint company, that was recommended on Angie's List give me an estimate on the house that was $1000.00 above Sam Messina's estimate. I'm glad I searched further.Sam was prompt, always called back or initiated calls and questions, polite, professional and he did the job a month ahead of schedule! The job came out beautifully.I would use him again without reservation.

I would hire Sam again in a heartbeat! He was great and continued to follow up with me to see if I was satisfied.
Description of Work: Sam Messina was very easy to work with. A friend of mine had given me his name and from the moment I started talking with him I knew that he would do everything he could to complete the work in a timely manner for a very reasonable price. He provided me with a quote that I needed to give to my insurnce company and they didn't even question the total. I felt perfectly comfortable with leaving him in my home all day while I was at work. He is extremely professional and keeps you posted along the way. He continued to ask if I was satifiedd with the work and if I had anything that I would like for him to give another coat of paint to. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking to freshen up their home with a new paint job.

Sam was punctual with the entire process from his initial quote to completing the job. After agreeing on the price and timing I got in touch with Sam and asked if there was any way we might move the job up a week as my wife had scheduled an outdoor party. He went out of his way and completed the job at the earlier time. Big smiles from my wife. The job was very well done and I'll not only call on him again but will refer friends to him.

Hired Sam to paint the trim on my house. He responded quickly and gave me a fair price. Came when he said he would. Finished the job on schedule and at the price agreed. Work was about what I expected. I'd use him again. Hard to find a contractor that shows up and does what he says he will do.

better than expected with the old paper that we had. His advise paid off with what to avoid and how to save time and money.
Description of Work: we had messina painting do all of our walls and trim and it came out beautifully. Paper had to be stripped and the walls are very smooth after he prepared the walls for finish paint. We also used his services for exterior painting in the past and his has held up very well. What is great about Sam is that with his many years in this business he can help you with color selection. He will save you the time of running around and looking for colors that go well together. He gives you common sense input to cut threw wasted time on colors that don't go with your scheme. we will definitely give his name to others and use him for our work in the future.

Description of Work: Beautifully and professionally painted the exterior of my house. He sanded the south side of my house because of all the sun it receives. The price included all materials and a high pressure power-wash.
