Bate Painting

Doug had found the perfect color to match our new metal clad windows, and he and his crew arrived exactly when he said they would. Worked four full days and were done on time and at the price he had given in his estimate. All involved were professional, good-natured, and hard workers. We would definitely hire Doug again.

Our house hadn't been painted for 20+ years, so it needed it badly ... Douglas Bate and his quiet crew - Professional, prompt, courteous. After mixing a custom body color and choosing trim color, there was a death in our family. We immediately packed and left for out of state. Arriving back home 2 weeks later, our house was painted! We choose front and back door color. They finished and wow, the results were great! Our red doors pop with just the right amount of pizazz, our house never looked better. Thank you Douglas for taking care of things while we were away, you're the best!

They were quite high in pricing. He was professional. He was quite late getting here. But, he seemed to know what he was doing but I would not consider using him again. He gave me a printed bid.

Doug Bate and his team took great care throughout the project making certain the brand new carpeting we recently had installed was kept clean as well as all of the other surfaces that were not being painted. He supervised and assisted in the entire project start to finish. They completed on time and on budget. The attention to detail was fabulous. The outcome is beautiful. Our house is a floating home with many unusual angles, nooks, corners, odd shaped ceilings so was a bit challenging. Very happy with the quality of work.

Doug was very punctual every day. Courteous, professional and very careful to keep everything clean. All trim was done and no sloppy work, drips or over spray found. We highly recommend him.

As I've come to expect from Doug, the job was A+. His attention to detail in the preparation phase, the most important in my estimation is impeccable. We used four colors, two of which transitioned in the middle of rounded outside corners. The masking was perfect, no paint runs, a solid application of paint, no faint spots, no paint on the ceiling, floors or furniture. Doug provides a high quality, professional service in a professional manner.

The crew was very friendly and professional, efficient, and cleaned up as they went along. The place looks great. Many neighbors ended up calling him to work on their houses after seeing what a great job he did. I also got a bid on having my own place done and plan to do so in the near future. Our floating homes co-op hired him to paint the inside & outside of a houseboat that the co-op owned before putting it on the market. Again, couldn't ask for a better job or nicer people. The work on the first houseboat was in 2008, I believe, and the co-op job was towards the end of 2010. I had him come look at my place last summer to get a bid. Don't have amounts that were paid, but was very reasonable and included a really thorough prep job. Both places still look like they were just done so the work has lasted well.

Doug and his crew have always been prompt, professional, fast and tidy. Special logistical problems always occur when working on floating homes (e.g., how do you reach the second story when standing on a raft?). Doug and crew have been adept at figuring out clever solutions. They are hard working and friendly, yet quiet, to have around. They do an excellent job at a very fair price. We heartily recommend Bate Painting.
