Blue Door Painters

Excellent. Estimate less than several others. Job done on time and very professionally.

Professional at all times from the estimate to completion. Each person I talked to introduced themselves and their role in the project. They were very responsive to changes I requested while on the job. Clean-up was perfect and the foreman Carlos even repainted my front steps and door at no charge when I changed my mind about the colors. I plan on hiring them soon to paint my basement.

They had a large and very nice portfolio on the work they had done. They came in with an estimate that was lower than two other estimates that I had received. They came when they were supposed to come, right on the dot, and they worked all day long until around 6, I think. I thought that the price was very reasonable for what they did, particularly the danger of the work. They had to use ladders for all of this work except for one window sill. They had to go up to the third floor to get one of the doors. I am very happy with the work that they did for me.

I had a great experience with this company. Jeff and Carlos were responsive and prompt. Their quote was very reasonable and much lower than others. They were also willing to change colors and fix things to match my vision for the house! I was out of town for part of the job and they emailed me pictures to make sure we were on track. I would definitely use them again.

Great! A representative came out from the company and walked around the home with us and asked detailed questions regarding the job to be done. We received the estimate the following day. Once we decided to work with Blue Door Painters we still needed to choose a color for the home and they were patient with us to give us the time we needed. Once we choose the color, they arranged to paint the home within two days. The entire job took a team of four painters two very long days to complete. They worked hard and only stopped for lunch. A couple people in the neighborhood even admired the work and plan to have the Blur Door Painters complete some painting projects on their own homes.

I selected Blue Door from Angie’s List based on their Arlington location and their good reviews. Blue Door was able to send an estimator on the date I requested. He arrived on time and he walked the house with me and took notes. He gave me a book of before/after pictures to review while he did another, more thorough, inspection and took pictures. The estimate was received via email the same day; it captured all the key points about exactly which services were to be done, the different types of paint that I wanted -- sealant, porch stain, and paint. For basic carpentry/wood repair, they quote a fixed price per board, rather than T&M. Their standard is Duron paint but they were willing to purchase the brand of porch stain that I had used previously. 2 year warranty. After notifying Blue Door that I would like them to do the work, I had a contract the next day. Nice touch: When they mailed the contract, they included 2 self addressed and stamped envelopes… I used one to return the signed contract/initial payment and the other to send in the final check. Blue Door notified me they could start sooner than originally estimated, and wanted to begin the next day. Because I wanted to be present for the power-washing and since I wasn’t able to re-arrange my work schedule on such short notice, I had to push a bit to get them to agree to start on Saturday instead. I realize that exterior painting is dependent on weather and they often have to juggle schedules, but I need to meet everyone who works on my house. A father/son team came on Saturday to begin the work and after that initial meeting I was very comfortable with having them work on my home. The work was completed in 2.5 days. I found two small areas that I felt could have been done better and Blue Door sent someone over in just a few days to fix them. Overall I was pleased with the results and will use Blue Door again.

Good. I'm a bit of a do-it-myself type so I tend to look at projects like these from the perspective of "am I glad I paid someone else do it or do I wish I'd gone ahead and done it myself." In this case, I'm glad I paid Blue Door to paint the house and they did a better job than I would have been able to do. Clean-up could have been better and there was some minor damage to the landscaping but from my perspective that's only a couple of hours work on my part vs. the many weekends I would have lost painting the house myself (and still sending paint chips everywhere and still causing some damage to the landscaping).

Five crew members arrived first thing Saturday morning at about 9am. A little confusion occurred at the beginning as the crew leader did not appear to know the brand of paint that I had previously specified for the job (he had to consequently drive to a paint store to get the paint) and appeared to be a little uncertain about what work needed to be done (perhaps they were just confirming the work that had to be done). After that little bit of confusion, however, the crew worked very hard all day performing the services above with only about a 15-30 minute break for lunch. They worked until about 7pm and cleaned up neatly afterward. Since the work was not complete, a two man crew came back on Monday to complete the job. The arrived early in the morning and finished about 4pm. The quality of the work was very precise and very good. They were also very professional.

The estimate was performed by an email exchange in which I provided digital photos of the house, showing closeups of problem areas. I received an estimate by email.

The painters arrived and after a quick walk around, got right to work. Our home is not large and the work did not include the siding, extensive scrapping or replacement of wood rot, so it was completed in approximately 10 hours. The five man crew worked efficiently and clearly they all work well together and during lunch there were several bursts of laughter, so the moral is good. This, IMO, contributes to the quality, which was very high. The foreman was conscientious and made it a point to walk with me and inspect the entire job to be sure I was satisfied before leaving. The crew worked all the windows before leaving. (When we purchased the house, the windows had been painted shut and it took weeks to get them all unstuck.) The only downside, was we had to leave the window opened to finish drying overnight, which would not have been an issue if it hadn't been the hottest day of the year. Next time we'll plan to have the house painted in either spring or fall.

Very professional from the estimate to the work! They arrived on time and did an excellent job. Carlos and his team were very polite and courteous. We would definitely consider Blue Door Painters when we decide to paint the interior of the townhouse. Their estimate was right on. No surprises and no hidden charges.

They brought a portfolio, were very friendly and professional and got back to me with an estimate quickly.The work was scheduled after a deposit was paid and they did the work in 8 hours. The painters were professional. The company owner came by afterward to do a walk thru with me.

I called on Tuesday and explained that I was having a party on Sat night and had just decided to have the terrace cleaned. They sent someone that afternoon to assess the job and provided an estimate. The work was done on Friday and I was thrilled with the results. They were very accommodating about providing someone to do the work in such a short time. They also gave me an estimate for some outside painting that I plan to have done in Sept.

Their prices were competitive and they were professional and responsive. They showed us their portfolio and also provided pictures with their prepared estimate. It was a very hard decision. We ended up using another painter, but we would highly recommend them.

We replaced the wood siding and trim on 2 sides of our end unit, 2-level townhouse and needed a company to prime and paint it. We called 3 companies with good ratings here on Angie's List. Blue Door quoted us $1,925, another company's quote was 50% higher and the third company couldn't get out in a timely fashion to give us a quote. We were so impressed with Blue Door's price and professionalism that we didn't bother to find another company to give us a quote we went with Blue Door. Blue Door's crew was professional and pleasant. They came out as soon as possible after the siding was installed and they did excellent work. They even did touch ups on the third side of our house, which we had painted on our own last year. Our house looks great. We'd definitely hire them again.

Quote was quick and easy. Price was competitive and the work was excellent.

It was a painstaking job of scraping the paper away in our home, but again the Blue Door team moved quickly and did an amazing job. They matched the original paint in two of the rooms, including a very difficult to match yellow color in our bedroom, and even touched up other places free of charge. They left us our extra paint clearly labeled and were totally enjoyable to work with in every way. Several neighbors on our street saw their van outside and asked for business cards. I'm sure they will be quite satisfied with their work!

It went excellent. When we hired them, we told them we are planning to list our home for sale very soon. They put our work down as a priority. They actually came on a Saturday and Sunday to begin the preparation and the beginning of the painting. They came back a few days later and completed the work. They did an excellent job. They were responsive to our needs, they communicated well, and Carlos and his crew were very professional, courteous, and prompt. Jeff and Joseph stayed in constant communication with us throughout the entire job. When they finished the painting, they left the area neat and clean. We had just had new landscaping put in prior to the painting and they were very careful not to get any paint on the new plants.

This was a great company to deal with. I highly recommend them. We were able to arrange everything by phone and email, with them viewing the house without my needing to be there. Everything that needed to be done was included in the contract, and clearly spelled out. They came when they said they would and finished the job on time. They did beautiful work. They even painted our metal railings, thrown in for free! They cleaned up every day, and left no mess at all. The workmen were friendly and polite. Mr. Stein was always immediately responsive to phone calls or emails, answered all questions clearly, and was able to accommodate my work schedule. (This work was done in Oct. 2007.)

When I asked if they could do a couple of touch ups, they came right out and finished job.

It went very well. I even had them back to do interior work. I will use them again in the future.

From the sales associates to the painters themselves, everyone was extremely courteous and did their jobs promptly and very well. I would highly recommend Blue Door.

The team that came out to our house were professional, friendly and went the extra mile. They also had to work around our deck contractors and they collaborated with ease. We ended up also adding on an interior room that needed dry wall and painting--which they fit into the overall project. Our house looks stunning--we were very happy with the results. We will use Blue Door Painters again--excellent attention to detail, quality work and for a competitive/economical price.

It went very well but be careful of repair add-ons. Price adds up quickly. Overall job was professionally done, and the price was fair.

Carlos and crew showed up on time. Carlos walked thru the entire plan of work with me and ensured he fully understood the project and my expectations. His crew got to work immediately and functioned as an outstanding team with Carlos as their leader. They were punctual, professional and very thorough. Project took 2.5 days. They covered all areas with drop clothes and prepared all surfaces (patched holes, removed old caulk, re-caulked and sanded). Then began painting. For the exterior they began to remove rotten wood, caulk and sand surfaces. Once the prep work was done they began the painting. Once complete they swept the area and cleaned up after themselves. Absolutely no complaints.
