Get matched with top exterior painters in West Springfield, VA

"Bottom Line: This is the second time using Manor Works, although the first time for carpentry. I hired them based primarily on previous excellent work on external painting of home, including complicated faux painting. Unfortunately, for carpentry they suffered from a serious quality control problem, and I would not use them again in this capacity. Communication: Scheduling the initial estimate was easy and timely, while communications continued throughout the process. Scoping Work: This is probably the most important first step in any project and often either messed up or purposely inflated. I needed pre-painted crown molding installed in one room. We requested professional-level carpentry to absolutely minimize any gaps between molding joints, the ceiling, and the walls – essentially a caulkless project. With the various angles in the walls and ceiling, we knew some tricky detailed cuts were going to be required. Quality of work. Frankly, 75-80% of contractors fail here for three primary reasons: a horrible handoff of details from the estimator to the onsite project foreman, project foreman and/or workers making assumptions vice asking the customer, and lack of quality detailed work. All three seemed to have come into play on this project. I knew I had a problem when the contractor asked me for the caulk. Because some boards were cut short and some angles were imprecise, there was a good amount of misalignment between boards and serious gaps between the board and the wall. In the third image, the corner of the board is broken out, and the carpenter wrote on a portion of the finished wall. That wall was painted in a textured, two-tone, faux appearance that takes time and expertise. It's not a simple paint this spot touchup. Due to the dark color of the trim, some of the joint misalignments I could hide with detailed painting and very precise and limited caulking, but the areas where it was chipped out and some of the wall gaps , especially where you can look up and see the nails going through, had to be completely replaced - meaning new crown molding, sanding, priming, painting, cutting, and nailing — both time and money for me. I realize this work can be challenging when the walls are at various angles. It's meticulous and takes a great deal of patience and care. I do my own baseboard, shoe molding, and short runs of crown, so I know it could have been done better than this. A previous contractor recently did it better in our powder and mud room. Pricing: Price was the best of three highly ranked Angie’s List companies, but in this case, you really do get what you pay for. It was very disappointing"

"It was an excellent experience! Jeff Sellers met with me to discuss the job, assess exactly what needed to be done, and then provided a very detailed and competitive quote for the work that was needed. Marco led the painting team and he was outstanding! My husband is a perfectionist and the work was done impeccably. Jeff and Marco offered discounts to buy the paint that was needed and the clean-up after was also excellent. We met with several painters referred by Angi, but we are so happy that we decided on Merrifield Paint & Design. We highly recommend them and would be happy to supply a reference if ever needed. Highly, highly recommend!!!!"

"This is the third time I have used Solution Painting. The painted the first floor bath room, kitchen, Family room, dining room and living room. The foyer was a rich Navy blue. The changed wall colors going to the second floor and did the upstairs hall. When estimating the job, he looked at my recent cabinet refacing, done by another vendor, and he said he would paint the interior edging to improve the quality. Mario recommended changing all the brass fixtures on the doors to match the upgraded appliances. He cleaned up all the short cuts over the last 35 years: wall paper removal, ceiling patches for electrical work, and other sloppy jobs. The house looks great. His crew was polite, efficient and went the extra mile. When one of the doors didn’t work correctly, the task lead went to YouTube and enthusiastically fixed the problem. I highly recommend them for interior and exterior jobs. They go the extra mile, provide quality and value."

"Marvin and his team were true professionals through and through. We had a four day job that included repainting an entire interior of a house on three levels and exterior doors and shutters. Marvin was super willing to work with us on our colors, the actual painting team were all very friendly and spent the time to expertly apply the paint to all areas. At the end of everyday the team would walk through with us to show us the progress and see our thoughts on the quality. For an entire house there were almost no touch ups required and when we didn’t like a color of a certain room, they gladly repainted when we asked. We couldn’t have chosen a better company to come paint our home, we would recommend paint the DMV to anyone who wants a professional job done!"

"American Powerclean was prompt, professional, and competent. The estimate was detailed and reasonable. However, I decided to go with a slightly lower cost contractor which was my intent prior to receiving estimates."

"We had an amazing experience working with Charles and Ana of Charles Graves Painting for our bathroom remodel. They are attentive, professional and experts at what they do. They turned our vision into a masterpiece and we could not be any happier with the high quality workmanship and the clean high end finishes in our master bathroom. Charles and Ana are extremely knowledgeable about their work and provided tons of helpful suggestions through the design process as well. They also work with incredibly talented subcontractors, from plumbing to electrical to tile work. I would highly recommend Charles Grave Painting for any home remodeling needs."

"We had a written contract with Home Equity Contractors but the general contractor Brett took our full payment without finishing work. He didn’t install baseboard and door trim as the contract clearly stated. My property manager and I contacted him multiple times and he refused to finish the work or give us partial refund. Will never hire him again and buyers be aware."

"Prompt arrival, professional conversation to answer any questions or concerns about the project process and PRISTINE in the care of our home and the work area! Ever , our painter was personable and wanted to ensure we were pleased in each step of the work. We'd highly recommend them for interior or exterior painting."

"William responded to my request promlty with a detailed proposal and reasonable cost that we decided to work with him almost instantly. His cres worked diligently and have the job well done faster than expected and with high level of professionalism, and did not care going extra miles to ensure the quality of painting. We may continue to work with William and his team for other projects. -- Jin at Sterling, VA"
