Seattle Paint and Drywall Co

They were great! It was a difficult house to work on, and we questioned how anyone could even reach parts of it - but they did. They completed the entire project in warp speed - the only slow down was due to our Seattle weather. We are sure that the job required more work and supplies than estimated, but we were not charged any additional fees. We are very happy with the outcome.

The process was very smooth. They arrived promptly in the morning and cleaned up completely before they left in the evenings. They were very respectful and considerate to my wife and kids who were home and often outside enjoying the sun, or when the youngest was taking a nap. This was a couple years ago and the house still looks great.

They were OK but not great. I think we saw some hairs in the paint and there were some spots that were missed. Their responsiveness was fine though. We didn't really have to contact them.

We live in a house that is not easy to paint. The first two painters who came to do an estimate were clearly intimidated by the job, and the quotes reflected the difficulty of painting the exterior of a tall house with poor access. On the recommendation of our original builder, we called Seattle Paint and Drywall, and from that point on it was smooth sailing. First of all, the estimator looked at our house and said it would be absolutely no problem; they often painted buildings that were much more challenging. The estimate was very reasonable, so we hired them, and we were totally thrilled with the job they did. The painters showed up exactly when promised, they were quiet and efficient and thorough, the job was completed in a timely manner, and they never left any mess. There was an attention to detail that went beyond what we could have imagined. And it was clear that customer service was a top priority. We felt like valued customers from start to finish. Almost two years have passed since our house was painted, and it still looks great. Even the deck and the fence that they stained have held up well. Any time someone we know mentions that they need to get their house painted, we enthusiastically refer them to Seattle Paint and Drywall.

I thought I did that in the above box. It was an A plus number 1 job!!

From the first day the paint crew was on time and very considerate of surrounding areas not to be painted. My house is two stories and all the windows are shuttered and had to be removed to be painted. They did this with great care. There was alot of prep work to be done and they were very organized. My home finished now and is just beautiful. They did an awesome job and I would recommend this company to anyone who asks.

Working with Seattle Paint and Drywall company was a breeze. Patrick Sears was wonderful on the phone answering my many of thousands of questions that I had and not getting frustrated with me (which could have been very easy). The workers they sent to do the job were right on time which was great for me when I have a tight schedule in the morning to get my 2 kids to school and myself to work. They were also super friendly the entire time they were at my house and very courteous to our surroundings which include 3 dogs, 2 cats and 2 small children! I would definitely hire Seattle Paint and dry wall again..which may be sooner than later since I would love my bedroom and bathroom painted now also. I would recommend them for sure to all my friends and family. If you are looking for a friendly team who really care about the work that they provide, I highly recommend Seattle Paint and Drywall co. you won't be disappointed. -Happy Home owner

We were very up front about our expectations and we stated that we were willing to pay more to ensure that the work was done to our standards. The project was a disaster and while we paid twice what they charged for similar projects, the work was done poorly, the company was extremely dishonest, promises that the "salesperson" made never materialized, and even though we paid them with the assurance that they would rectify the situation, they never did. Response: I see that Seattle Paint and Drywall responded to my review. I would like to respond to their lies. I think it is interesting that the only places I have ever complained about have received similar issues. I was taken advantage of by Seattle Paint and Drywall and that is unacceptable. In fact, what they fail to mention is that I was in the hospital, in a coma, when they demanded payment from my family. Once I was removed from intensive care, I wrote a check, without seeing the completed project. Once I returned home, I discovered that the work was not done and I had to hire Queen Anne Painting to complete the job. This is the most dishonest company I have ever encountered. Interesting, the foremen they mentioned were their children and they were flaky and on drugs! In fact, a representative from the company, who was not a family member, told me about the excessive drug use in order to offer an explanation as to why the work was not done. I have since run into the step-father of these children who has verified this statement. As you can see from other reviews, I have been extremely fair and complimentary, except where I have had money stolen from me. In addition to the loss of several thousand dollars, I never received the coupon they offer on their website! That is called false advertising and you should make your customers aware of that.

We remodeled our kitchen, bathroom a& took out a wall to make a larger bedroom out of our two dinky standard rambler bedrooms. This meant that the work that we needed done was spread out over about a month and a half. Here a wall... there a room. Seattle Paint & Drywall were very responsive to our schedule and made it less of a headache to work around the other subcontractors' schedule. Everything came out great! They also did a great job fixing all the holes the electrician made! Once the siding that needs to be replaced is done, we'll be having the exterior painted.

The crew did a great job. (had to remind them to spackle the holes, but otherwise, everything was top notch - way better than I could do on my own.)

Aaron and his helper were late but they did call to let us know, which was appreciated. The project was to drywall over a small hole in the ceiling due to the need to access a water line and they took great care to protect the rest of the room by creating a "tent" to contain all of the mess they made. Aaron and his helper were very friendly and obviously skilled at working with drywall. They completed the job in the time specified and it was very well done. The final sanding and painting was done by by us

Great experience overall. Patrick came and gave us an estimate within 4 days of my first phone call and got back to me with an estimate in a few days. A start date was set up and everything was done within the promised time frame that I was given. Patrick responded within minutes when I had any questions. The workers were very professional and a pleasure to have in my home. They did an excellent job and were very concientious of taking care of furniture, glassware, etc. I would defiinitely use them again!

Seattle Paint and Drywall did a spectacular job. The staff was professional. We have plans to use them again.

The painter (I didn't get his name unfortunately) did an excellent job from the prep right down to the cleanup. We are very satisfied with the results. He started at 8:30 and was done by 2:00......very impressive! We would not hesitate to recommend this company and we will use them again when we're ready for more painting.

I was having the work done to turn over my rental property in Seattle and had a few other things to be done so I needed the painting of the main rooms to be done on a certain day. Time was important since I live out of town. There was no problem scheduling the day but on the day they were to come do the painting - NO SHOW and NO CALL. I had to call them. They apologized and rescheduled but then they were there when another vendor was there but I had no choice. The painter originally said he didn't think I had enough paint so I told him to let me know if he needed more, he didn't. When I asked him later, he said it was enough. The paint was on so thin and when we took the tape off so went a stripe of paint. It took him about 5 and a half hours to paint, including his lunch so I estimated that I paid $100 an hour for painting - NOT A DEAL. I should have cancelled and got my money back when they didn't show, lesson learned.

We found SP&D on Angie's List and called them out to do an estimate. Patrick was able to come quickly, which was a refreshing change from some of the other companies we had also contacted for estimates. The estimate was reasonable ($13K) and Patrick was even willing to paint the soffits another color without increasing the bid. The painters power washed the house and then got started with scraping. They did a decent job scraping but I thought with the condition of the previous paint job they should have done more. They also missed some key areas for prep work- small holes that were not filled, foam that was simply painted over, etc. However, they did a pretty good job painting, and even called us while we were out of town to advise against a paint scheme decision we had originally chosen (and they were correct in their suggestion). They are not super detail oriented but the overall paint job looks nice (a few missed spots, a little paint on the windows, etc). At the same time, the carpenter was at work replacing rotten soffits, siding and decking, installing attic vents, etc. As we moved forward with the carpentry efforts, which were originally priced at $3-5K, there was definite scope creep that I can blame on myself. However, I expected Patrick as the foreman for the project to keep us up to date on approximately how much the overall price was growing, because even as we progressed with the project the carpenter assured us that we were not far off the original estimate. Instead, we were surprised by a $20K balance at the end of the project when we were expecting about $16K (again- I would have rated the company an "A" for price if they would have kept me as the customer in the loop as to how much the bill had increased before I was given a hard copy and asked to write a check). Next SP&D came to remove the storm windows, paint them and then re-hang them. They completed the job but it was embarrassingly unacceptable. There were fingerprints on the inside of the windows, windows had been hung crooked, and there were paint smudges on multiple windows. There was at least one problem with every single window. During our final walk through with Patrick we pointed out these issues and he agreed right away to fix them. The painters did come back to fix the storm windows, but they still were still not done correctly. There were still a multitude of issues that needed to be redone, including our monster of a picture window that I'm sure was a huge pain to remove and replace. Increasing my frustration, this was also when it became a lot harder to contact Patrick and set up a time for the touch-ups. We did eventually get in touch and they came to remove the big picture window and fix it one more time. We made final payment at this point even though our picture window storm window is still crooked, some of the touch-ups that the painters were supposed to make never got done and a light they had broken was never fixed (we figure we will just fix these ourselves). Overall we are happy with the painting results and very happy we have fixed some of the carpentry problems that were under the old paint job. However, my constructive criticism for SP&D would be the following: -Make sure the customer is aware when the price starts to increase by several thousand so that they are not surprised at the end with a very large bill (we were about $7K over) -Bring a notebook with you to write down what the customer is requesting. It is frustrating when only a percentage of the touch-ups agreed to are completed -Do not let your customer service go down towards the end of a project because that is our final impression of your company

It was very fast and painless for me, they did such a good job that when I look at it, it brings a smile to my face.

The crew was professional, showed up on time every day and cleaned up after every job. They painted the whole exterior of the house including the deck. The house required extensive scraping and sanding to smooth things out -- the end result was great....the whole process was exactly what I hope for and expect. I had researched numerous paint companies for a while and I defiantly made the right choice with them!!!

It took a while but that was completely our fault. We waited until September/Oct to get our house painted. My husband was sure he could do a touch up job he was on a ladder scraping for about 4 hours and gave up. He said every muscle in his body hurt. (I thought he was nuts for even trying). After we accepted the bid it rained and rained and rained. They came out and pressure washed the first week. Masked all the windows and scraped the existing chips. It rained again...for a week, so first decent day they came out and painted. Saul was the lead painter. He was VERY cool. I freaked out when the first coat was put on. It was purple, not the blue that I wanted. He said look we can change it if you want us to (my husband was about to kill me at this point) but he said wait until we get a second coat on and the trim. It will look very different. So I breathed and waited (it rained again and again). To make a long story short I love the color. He was right, it looks very different with the trim and when the second coat dried the color deepened. It turned out great. We had very little to no damage of any of our plants, yard, etc. No drips of paint anywhere. They did a great job. I would highly highly recommend them.

Tim Fike did an excellent job getting the deck painting scheduled, and his guys did an excellent job redoing my deck. It looks almost new now, and it's an old deck! It had been refinished several times over the years, and the existing color was too red and did not look good adjacent to my home's paint color. I didn't think a stain would work to cover it, but Tim gave me some good suggestions to go and see deck stain colors available at a paint store. That was excellent advice as I learned there were many more colors than just the standard fan deck of stain colors I originally saw. I found the color I wanted, and the deck painting work was done efficiently and professionally. I waited a week for the deck stain to cure, and I'm amazed how my old deck now looks so good. I worried that my deck was too far gone to get results like this. One of the nicest things about SP&D was Tim's professional customer service and friendly demeanor. He was always polite on the phone, listened to my many questions and concerns, and gave me very good suggestions. He went the extra mile throughout. The results were better than I hoped for! It's rare to use a service company that is so customer oriented and I really appreciated it.

The overall quality of the job was poor. They did not use the type of paint as called for in the contract. They failed to cover several areas and some of the trim around our windows was not painted at all. When they were finished we discovered four broken ridgecap tiles on the roof which were not broken before their painters were up on the roof. We have had to have them come back three times to complete that they missed. I would never have them do work for me again nor would I recommend them to anyone else. In aperfect world I would have them come back and repaint our house acording to what they agreed to do in their contract. I suppose that is asking too much though.

The company never responded, so I guess they weren't interested.

Seattle Paint and Drywall did a nice job of prepping and painting both houses. This required sanding, stripping and priming where necessary. They also did a nice job washing the fence prior to staining. The initial wash didn't go so well and Tim had the workers do it again. The foreman was very helpful with stain suggestions and the fence turned out well. Both houses turned out well and they were willing to use the paint we requested. We preferred to use a higher quality paint to protect the wood. We had a change order mid-project when we decided we wanted the front door stripped and stained. It had been painted a deep blue, but it was beautiful wood and we wanted to restore that look. They willingly took on that project. The only problem was in rehanging the door. It didn't line up properly and would no longer lock reliably. They sent someone out to fix it and he did a satisfactory job, but it didn't last. We had to hire someone to come out and do a more thorough fix at a later date.All in all we were fairly happy with Seattle Paint and Drywall. They were very easy to contact and work with.

We had approximately 10 bids. We chose Seattle P & D not only for their fair, mid-range bid but the pride that showed when Zakary explained his father's company. He now has his own crew as do his 2 other brothers. Zakary come on time both for the bid and the walk through prior to starting work. He wanted to make sure he had everything detailed out. On the day of the pressure washing he had a medical emergency. After a slight miscommunication the handoff to Tim and Patrick was smooth and on time as well.They followed the standards for working with lead painted houses during the preparation for painting.The crew that came out were on time, very professional and did excellent quality work. The carpentry that was done was excellent! Patrick showed up each day to make sure everything was running smoothly. Everyone was respectful and experienced. Chucky, the lead did a great job of supervising everything from the priming to the final walk through. The overall look of our house is spectacular! All our neighbors have said they love the "new" house!

At our 72 unit condo complex, we had several decks repaired late last fall; by the time they were ready to paint, the cold wet weather had set in. So we had to wait for several months before painting. Once we called Seattle P & D, they came out immediately to give a proposal; they recommended a pretreatment for the exposed plywood, since some mildew had grown. The time from bid to work was only a couple days, which was great for us. The workers were right on time, pleasant and easy to deal with, and really had a polished routine in their work. In a couple short days, the work was complete, looked great, and the grounds around the job were clean. We have used this company before, and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.
