University Painters - Steven Papageorge

Everything went very well. Will definitely use them again for future painting.

Great. They re-painted our home and it sold in 6 days.

I was very pleased with the work done by University Painters. Rene came to my home to give me an estimate, which was very reasonable and $850 less than an estimate I got from another provider for the same work. Rene got Cesar and his crew to do the work. The guys were very hard workers and did a great job. They painted the shutters, rake boards and other trim. They also replaced and painted two doors that were on my outside utility closets. That was a big job but they did it very well. They were able to accomplish all of this in less than a day. I had hired them previously for work on my home so I was confident they would do a good job and they did!

I had a great experience. They did a great job. The people that I used did a wonderful job. I've actually given their names to people in my neighborhood. People have seen the outside of my house. It was a pretty dramatic change. I've had people literally come and knock on my door and ask me who painted my house. They actually saw them painting it. They had quotes from other people and it was so expensive, they said they weren't going to do it. I told them what I paid, and they thought it was reasonable, so they asked for their name and number. I gave them their name and number. They were professional. But my one comment was, the main guy, my foreman, he wasn't there all the time. He came throughout the time they were working on it. But the other guy didn't speak hardly any English, so I had a hard time communicating with them. I would call the one guy and talk with him. They were very nice people. I would give them coffee. They were very appreciative. They did a great job. They did a beautiful job. They spoke so little English, I couldn't communicate with them. I knew they couldn't understand me when I'd asked them questions and stuff. So I had to go back to the foreman and get my questions. They were very professional, even the guys who did the job were very professional, even though they didn't speak English. But that's a problem. There was a language barrier. Everything was done beautifully. Everything was done professionally. They were very nice. I want people to have opportunities, but learn the language. That's how I feel. They did a fabulous job. I'm really, really happy with it. But the people they hire need to be required to learn English, so they can communicate with the clients. Despite all of that, they worked hard, great, very professional, very polite. I'm very impressed with everything, but that's a barrier when you can't talk to someone and ask questions, because they can't understand what you're saying. So that was the only thing that was a problem for me. I probably would hire them again because they do a beautiful job, and I'll actually hire them again for other stuff because they actually do a lot of jobs other than painting. But that bothered me because the people who came couldn't speak English.

We are very pleased with the work of University Painters. They not only did a fine job of painting, but also replaced our worn and damaged edge trim on the house corners with half-inch vinyl that will probably outlast the house. The painters were extremely neat and left no trash. The foreman walked the job with us to ensure everything we asked to be done was completed to our satisfaction. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

There was a bit of miscommunication at first with Steven, but we resolved that quickly and he came by our new place to provide an estimate. A few days later, Jose the foreman showed up with his crew and began working. Jose and his crew did an excellent job, ensuring that no paint dripped on our hardwood floors, and that all the paint lines were straight and true. They started and finished the job exactly as stated on the contract. I'd use them again.

They did a great job. I had no complaints. I had a Big Deal. The service I ordered wasn't the correct one. They came and looked what I needed to do and did it for the same price.

The crew was very punctual and professional. The prep work was a little lacking but very adequate. I would differently use them again for there pricing.

Steven Papageorge responded quickly to my email request and we set up an appointment to inspect the home exterior. He was very professional and attentive to our concerns about what was needed. Following his initial proposal, we realized that more sections of trim required replacing. We sent pictures of the additional work, however Steven felt it would be better to revisit in order to provide an accurate quote, which he did in a very timely manner. We also obtained quotes from two(2) other contractors. Steven's proposal was slightly lower than one of the other contractors and included two coats of paint, which neither of the others did. The work started the following week and a walk-around was performed with his foreman, Jose, to clarify the details of the proposal. Drop clothes were used and all debris was removed. The work was completed in 3 days(one day was rained out), with a final walk-around with Jose, to make sure we were satisfied with all aspects of the painting and woodwork. Steven called during the work progress to make sure all was going well and then again at completion and to confirm our Angie's List discount! I will certainly keep University Painters/Steven Papageorge in my list of contractors for future painting needs and have already recommended him to a friend.

Steven and his crew were very accommodating in squeezing us in to paint most of the interior of the house, as well as doing some drywall repair, in a very short time frame between when we closed on our house and when we needed to move in. They gave us a fair price, showed up on time, and stayed until it was finished. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again.

Crew of 4 showed up on time. Very good job of prepping (these areas had not been painted in 20 years), seemed to be very little down time. Two coats everywhere. Great cleanup except in one bathroom -- too many splatter marks on black sink counters. I am very pleased with the job performed.

I am quite pleased with the level of professionalism and the quality of the work performed, and I would use this provider again.

Very nice job overall at a fair price. Thanks to Steve and his team.

The paintwork they did was good but I didn’t like some things they did like they rinsed down paint brushes in my sink in the bathroom and sometimes the supervisor would be gone for a couple of hours. One worker spoke English and everyone else spoke Spanish. They dumped some white paint in the backyard and they said that was not a problem because you could rinse it out with water but there were some paint stains. I really didn’t like that. There were some paint stains on my toilet seat that they tried to clean and they said they didn’t do it, that it was there from before and it wasn’t their paint. So there were some minor things I was not happy with but I can’t complain about the paint job they did; it was nice work. They brought in a big crew of painters. I had a lot of wallpapers to be ripped and then they painted the house in three days or so, so that part was good. I didn’t like them rinsing the paintbrush in my bathroom and I don’t know for how long they left the water running. They were polite but there was a language barrier. The price was pretty good, compared to other quotes I got and they were most reasonable.

Their cleanup was very good. They completed the job while we weren’t in town, but I believe it took about 2 days.

I used them last summer. They restained the exterior of my house and repainted the trim. That was an exterior paint job. They did a very nice job. They do subcontract, but that actually made it a little less expensive. The price was good. Their price was a bit better than the other quotes I got from people that I contacted. The quality of the work was good. I have referred other people to them. Everything went very well. I had a pretty good experience with them. The only problem I had was when they subcontracted, the guy showed up early, I was on vacation and like always I had somebody staying at my house, and they came to paint on that day. I am not quite as enthusiastic about this company (subcontractor) as I was with about the first one, because there were a couple of blips.

Excellent, they did a great job and would use them again

I had a number of painters give me an estimate and they were the one I chose. I felt that their pricing was very clear cut and I felt comfortable with the estimator and she was very business like and very concerned. They had an acceptable price, but there was one contractor that was somewhat lower and I would've chosen him if there hadn't been a mix-up in the mail. University Painters did an adequate job, but here and there I had to point out a couple of little things to them that weren't quite satisfactory. They're okay, but nothing special and I think one problem was their English language skills. They did two coats of paint which was what I wanted and so they did everything.

They did the best paint job I have ever seen in my life. The paint job has held up for three years. They did excellent, model work.

The day they were scheduled to arrive and perform the work it rained so naturally they could not do the work. Nobody called me to reschedule( I had already given them a deposit) and it took two calls from me to get the work rescheduled. They did a good, not great job and the price was reasonable, but poor communication is inexcusable and for that reason alone I would not recommend them.

They maybe a franchise and I would say that their qualities across the board are probably somewhat uniform. They did the work quickly, efficiently, and on schedule. We were extremely pleased with the end result. They were expensive but we got what we paid for. They were professional and their work was high quality. We would highly recommend them to others.

We had just moved and wanted to paint our shutters. We contacted this company and they were able to come the day after we moved in and paint. They were very careful, did a really high quality painting job.

The crew arrived on-time, worked hard and got the job done quickly and professionally. They took care of minor changes and corrections as requested. They house looks great. Q

I would possibly use them in the future. I would probably look around. Their quality was a B, I would try to find an A quality.

I thought that they were fine.
