The workers arrived and completed the work on time; however within a few weeks I noticed some cracks in the pain, indicating the primer work wasn’t done properly; I was advised by a Mr. Velasquez to call back in the spring; later I was asked to send pictures, which I did; I never received a call back to review the problems despite several attempts. This fall I saw that the bay roof paint is fading, after less than a year. I would not recommend this company for any work.

Very well. Blue Door gave me a detailed written estimate that was considerably cheaper than my other option; they were able to fit me in to the schedule much sooner than I anticipated; they were in and out in one day; and they did a great job. The office folks were also very prompt, honest, and helpful throughout the whole job. I'm a landlord and the tenants were very happy. "The painters did an amazing job! Night and day difference." The price wasn't dirt cheap, but it was fair for the work done. It was as trouble free as these things can be. I've used Blue Door before and I'll use them again.
Description of Work: The kitchen ceiling and a bathroom were repainted. The paint and plaster in the bathroom were in bad shape from a lot of wear, humidity, and some mold, and needed a lot of prep work.

Blue Door painters did not complete the exterior paint job I contracted them for. I withheld partial payment until Fernando Velasquez and I came to an agreement that they would return to complete job and correct multiple issues such as, paint on windows. However, after I paid my emails and calls were ignored. Blue Door Painters never return to finish the job or correct issues. Issues included: paint on windows; primer but no paint; no second coat; paint on stairwell railing; paint over dirty door although job included power wash. I filed a complaint with Fairfax County in an effort to resolve issues or get a partial refund. Yet again, Blue Door Painters specifically, Fernando Velasquez was not responsive with Fairfax County or myself. I would not recommend this company to anyone. The job was sloppy, unprofessional, and incomplete. Workers came late with no call and do not speak very little to no English. The "face" to the company is not the "face" that shows at the job site. You can visit Fairfax County Complaint department (online) for other negative cases on this company.
Description of Work: I hired and paid Blue Door Painters to paint exterior of home and garage summer of 2016.

It went great! The 2 employees assigned to my project did a fantastic job. The were polite, professional, prompt and offered to removed the pictures and outlet covers that I did not have time to review. Overall, an A+ job. I will definitely recommend Blue Door to friends/family and will use them again for future services.
Description of Work: Repainted several areas of the house to a different color, painted 2 bedrooms and a bathroom that still had the builder paints and painted front door.

Blue Door Painters did an excellent job painting the interior of our house. Fernando, who provider the estimate, arrived right on time and got an estimate to us the next day. It was very thorough and explained all of the options to us clearly. Blue Door Painters also worked with us to coordinate and schedule the painting around several other projects that were underway at our house this winter. They completed the work in 2 days - on both days the painters arrived on time. Both my wife and I had to be at work, but we were very comfortable leaving our house with the painters there. When we returned home after the first day, we were very impressed with how our house looked and the painters had neatly sorted there materials in a designated place. They finished on the second day and they left our house spotless. As for the actual painting - they did excellent work. As of the edges are neat even in the tight corners and the color is uniform and rich. We could not be more pleased with the painting. We would definitely hire Blue Door Painters again.
Description of Work: Painted 2 bathrooms, a stairwell with a two story ceiling, 2 hallways, a large room in our basement (including the ceiling), the entryway, a bedroom, 8 doors, and various pieces of trim.

Jeff and his crew were very knowledgable and helpful. We have an older deck that needed to be cleaned and stained in order to give it a bit of new life. Within a few days of calling Blue Doors, they sent someone out to give us an estimate and quoted us a very reasonable price for the power washing and staining of our back deck. We also had some damaged siding on the rear of our home were the paint was in particularly bad shape. Jeff was able to let us know exactly how they were going to repair the damage, and was able to match the new paint color to the existing paint on the house, making the repair and paint job look as seamless as possible with the rest of the siding. Overall we were very impressed with the quality of work, how quickly the job was performed, and how they had taken care of and worked with us. We would definitely recommend Blue Door Painters and will use them again.

Blue Door was very prompt in responding to our request for an estimate. Theirs was not the lowest price, but it was on the lower end of the spectrum. We had used them before, and were comfortable with the quality of their work. Once we requested that they move forward with the job, they were prompt to get us scheduled. The on-site workers were on-time and courteous. The finished job looks great!
Description of Work: We had a ceiling damaged by a water leak. Blue Door repaired a 3' x 5' section of drywall, primed the ceiling and painted the ceiling.

Bruno came and worked hard for more than 8 hours straight doing touch ups in multiple rooms in the house. He was very accommodating and patient while we tried to figure out what the names of the paint colors were so he could go to the paint store and purchase them. One of the colors was incorrect and he went back to the paint store to try and find the right one. I also appreciated that he worked around my two children's nap schedules and was quiet while he worked. Overall, I had a great customer service experience and the quality of the paint work is excellent.
Description of Work: Touched up multiple rooms. "Painter for a day."

Jeff and his team always over deliver! Amazing attention to detail, they show up on time, clean up and go overboard to make sure that the job is done right. I know many, painters, but none of them seem very consistent, except for Blue Door Painters. Thanks for making my house glow :)

They were very reasonably priced. It actually surprised me how low the price was. It only took 2 days. They called after the job was done; there was one area in the kitchen that they missed, and they came right back out and painted it. They were very responsive.
Description of Work: They painted the entire downstairs, which was about 1200 square feet.

Blue Door Painters did a great job on the exterior painting of our house. They were responsive with their communications and punctuality. Additionally, they turned around all bids and paperwork in a timely fashion. Their work was good quality and was what we agreed to. We are very satisfied. When they were not able to power wash the brick prior to painting, they had no problem crediting us for the work that was not completed. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone and would hire tham again in the future if needed.
Description of Work: They painted all of the exterior brick, awning, windows, porch and railings on our rowhouse.

They were good. For the amount of money we spent it turned it nicely but the quality was average. We used a coupon and they said they weren’t going to take the coupon initially because we were late. They had to call management to get the coupon authorized. The manager spoke with us and was awesome about handling the situation. Their prices were inexpensive and they completed the work quickly and came out quickly. I would recommend to anyone using their service that they monitor them and make sure things such as taping off the windows, etc. are completed. The work has been holding up well. I would probably use their services again for our rental property.
Description of Work: They painted the exterior of part of the house. The part painted included the trim of the windows in the front of our rental house.

The estimate was fair. They were not as responsive as I would have hoped and did not seem knowledgeable about their policies. I couldn’t pin them down to explain their process on things such as rain delays. I just couldn’t get solid answers from them, including Wendy, for my questions such as with their contract and things such as a senior citizen discount. I also wanted to know how they were gong to to treat the metal railings. I think they’re a reputable company but they didn’t seem to want to have one-on-one in person contact about my issues. I wanted to walk them around personally and show them the specifics of what I am wanting.
Description of Work: They provided an estimate based on picture that I sent them to scrape the paint from the siding and the wood trim of the windows at my parents house. The estimate also included power washing a rusted railing on the porch and this is not what I wanted. I want this replaced as it is rusted through. The estimate also included painting the basement door but didn’t address any possible damage that it could have. This would require an in-person inspection.

It looks like it will last for another 2-3 years . They were easy to talk to and got the information to me quickly. The only thing I wish would have happened is that I would have seen color samples before it had been applied. I feel that the work was completed in a timely manner and I would recommend their service to others.
Description of Work: They power washed and then painted the porch and deck and the associated lattice work. They were re-staining these areas. The work in total took two workers approximately a half a day to complete.

Blue Door did a fantastic job. From the first contact with them, they were extremely responsive and accommodating. They answered all my questions and concerns, got back to me quickly, and were very professional. On the day of the service, the contractor arrived right on time, discussed various options with me, and completed the job exactly as expected. He left the house clean and looking like no one had even been there. I'll definitely use Blue Door again in the future for other painting projects.
