Costello Painting Inc

They were dependable and got it done quickly. They cleaned up after themselves and were a quiet presence in my home. I appreciated that they seemed to really want to do their best work. And they did!

Matt showed up at the end of a busy day to give us a quote because he knew our job was time sensitive. The quote was reasonable and we were so impressed with the quality of their work that we hired them to paint more rooms. They were on time, professional, and their work was impeccable. We highly recommend Matt and Luke for any job. They will be our only painters going forward.

They did a fantastic job! They were straight forward and easy to work with on the consult. They showed up on time for the job. They cleaned up after themselves. The paint job looks amazing!!! Great value for the price. I won't use any other painter but Costello Inc. again.

We had Matt with Costello Painting Inc recommend by a friend. He came out to give us a bid to remove some large vinyl wall stickers and a cabinet that had been attached to the wall and a thin crack from floor to ceiling. There was lots of small damage all over as well after 5 years in business. Then repaint the wall the existing color and match the paint. He showed up on time for the bid, and understood everything I was needing. There was some unknown extent of damage until he took off the vinyls and removed the cabinet, but gave me the best estimate for both possibilities. There was also a time restriction to the job. I needed it worked on early mornings before we opened. They were able to accommodate this request. They were able to start the project on Monday morning. I met them at the shop and they got into the work quickly and efficiently. They were able to get what they needed done for the day by 11 am as I had requested. They cleaned up very well so my restaurant was ready for customers. They came back Tuesday to add additional layers of mud, all the damage was not able to be seen by the end of the project. They returned again on Wednesday morning to do the final painting. Matt and Luke were so nice and efficient and knowledgeable, and explained my options when it came to how they could repair the damage. We chose to do better for a little more time cost. The walls look great!

Excellent work and courteous worker. Honest and efficient and did not try to change more than bid. Excellent results.

Matt showed up promptly and provided a detail bid. I had a tough time deciding who to go with...but subsequently, I couldn't get Matt to respond a few times to email, so I had to go with another painter. I did like Matt--professional, personable, but it came down to who responded.

Matt was great to work with and did a fantastic job.

Their bid was twice as high as the other three I received. I understand that they were busy (they said as much), but don't waste everyone's time by bidding yourself out of contention. They were cordial and polite, but at the end of they day, just added dead-time to the job.

Did estimate to repair and stain deck. Quoted per hour charge with no definite time frame nor specifics on repair. Estmate was very inflated per hour.

They did a great job. They always responded in a timely manner, they were accurate in their estimates of both time and expense, and their work was excellent. We have a very large kitchen and wanted to update the cabinetry from the pervasive Golden Oak finish from the mid-nineties. I told them that I wanted to go light or white, and they recommended a couple of off-white colors and then gave their input on what they thought would look best (and they were right -- I took their suggestion and it looked awesome). These guys do a quality job, and although you will pay a little extra for their attention to detail, I would definitely use them again. The two other estimates I received were cheaper but I could tell the other companies were flaky -- didn't show up on time or return calls just to give me a bid. I finally got them in for the bids, but if it's that hard to get them to bid you know it's gonna be rough to get them to actually work.

Matt stopped by promptly and gave us a bid. The price was reasonable, neither the highest or lowest. He was very nice and we found him quite agreeable. After talking with him about the appropriate sheen and finish for our project we made a decision and tried to go forward. We left 2 messages on his phone and sent 4 emails over the course of 5 weeks with no response whatsoever. He finally emailed me back telling me that he had gotten busy and that since this was his busy season he had another painter he wanted us to use. No offer to try and schedule the job for the future or any other solutions. It appears to me our job just wasn't big enough for him and he bumped it for more lucrative work.

First of all, let me say much I appreciated Matt honoring the agreement we had for work. I had selected many paint samples to try and find the exact cool but vibrant lemon yellow I wanted for the room where I spend most of my time. Friends had expressed strong opinions about how many walls should be lighter/darker. When Matt came to discuss the color, he said I was the one who would be in the room; therefore it only my opinion that mattered and asked what I wanted. I went for strong all over and he helped me see which sample would be what I wanted when it was finished and dried. He got the paint, taped the room, and painted it all in a wonderful vibrant yellow, exactly what I wanted. The work was so well done, everything was left neat and clean, and, as always, I was very pleased with Matt's work. Matt is so pleasant and professional to work with. I appreciated his suggestions. Most of all, I appreciated his consideration of my health issues and his willingness to complete the original agreement on the time frame I needed. All I paid this time was the paint and supplies needed for this room. He is so professional. He knows how to assess a setting and offer suggestions for the best results. He is dependable. He is pleasant and comfortable to be around as he works. Even my skeptical friends admit that this is going to be an awesome room when everything is completed and put in place! If Matt is busy, it is worth waiting to have him do work for you. I highly recommend him as a painter.

got bid but wasn't the best bid

Matt help me select the two shades of blue and the kind of paint to use. He and his brother were great to work with. The colors and the work are exactly what I wanted. The room is beautiful and I have had many many compliments about how great the space looks. Due to some health issues of mine, we have not been able to complete the yellow for the den, but it is scheduled for December 27. I hope the results there will be as wonderful as the blue rooms. The Costellos were pleasant to work with. They work efficiently and were nice to have in my home. If the yellow turns out as well, I would certainly consider them for future painting that I might need.

Matt answered many of my questions through e-mail including the cost of different brands of paint and which ones were better. He discussed with me what specific services we wanted, such as if we wanted the ceiling repainted. When I accepted their offer, they told me that they were approximately six weeks out and then when the time drew close, they informed me of the exact date. They were prompt and efficient and worked with me to get the exact color that I wanted. They masked things off nicely and cleaned up each night before they left. They were pleasant to work with. We discovered that there was some grit left on the banister. They came up immediately and re-sanded it and painted it again to our satisfaction.

The rep came to our home and assessed the job but never delivered the estimate. Despite repeated requests by phone and text for the estimate we never received it. Hired someone else.

Excellent responsiveness, scheduling and execution flexibility, and job quality. Took most of four days for brothers Matt and Luke.

They were good workers and polite. It went well.

Matt Costello was prompt in calling me back for an estimate (within 24-hours) and was able to schedule a visit for the actual estimate a couple days after initial contact. He was prompt for the estimate and conducted a very thorough review of the requested job. He had a lot of great information and obvious attention to detail. Of the estimates I received, his was not the cheapest but I was so impressed with him that we decided to go with Costello for the jobs. He was quite busy and I was told it would be a 30-45 day wait to start. At the time I was still 2-months out from my wedding date (what prompted the updates), and so we were fine with the wait. At 30-days pre-wedding, I contacted Matt to see when he would be able to make it out for the job. I received a phone message a day later explaining that he couldn't do the work. He had a much larger more lucrative job and needed to take it. He did not offer an alternative date or provide a referral.

My experience with them went well. They were professional and responsive. However, their estimate was a little high, so I decided not to hire them for the work.

Matt was very punctual both in the visit for the estimate, and for the actual painting project. He and his brother Luke we very careful moving furniture and protecting everything. They were good to work with, making adjustments to keep it within my budget for this project. They redid a ceiling patch that had been done poorly by another contractor, and it looks great. They were also very quick, completing the project within a day.

Excellent, excellent, excellent job. The Costello's were well priced, always on time, communicated well regarding scheduling and did fantastic job. We would definitely use them again. My highest recommendations.

I had Matt come out and give me a bid. He was very respectful and professional. He sent me the bid through email that night and it was a great price. He was very detailed when he went about drawing up the bid. Unfortunately, the time schedule didn't work. I really wanted Matt to do the job, but he was booked. I thought that I had started to find a painter in plenty of time (30 days) but since some of them didn't get back to me, my time started to dwindle. I will use Matt in the future, that's just how good of an impression that he left.

Excellent. Matt and his brother Luke arrived on time, set up and went immediately to work. They protected my two couches with drop clothes as well as protecting the carpet, stairs, and railings. They were fast, neat, and efficient. Matt and Luke were friendly and kept me aware of when one coat was drying and when they were starting the next. They had fans to help the paint to dry quickly. Clean up was thorough and Matt vacuumed when he was done. I am very pleased with their work and would use them again and also recommend them highly. Thank you Matt and Luke.

I haven't made my decision yet on who to use for this job, but I do appreciate receiving a competitive bid from them.
