Description of Work: Excel painted the exterior of our house: body of the house; shutters and trim. Service was excellent - they came out promptly and gave us an estimate with a detailed list of all that needed to be done by us (trim landscape away from house; re-stucco certain areas and replace a couple of window sills - they had suggestions on who to use for each task) and certain things that they would do prior to painting (power wash exterior). They followed up several times before we got started - asking if we had questions, etc. When the time came to paint, their men were polite and professional - arrived at the same time (8 am) each day. It took approximately 7-8 workdays (a few less than estimated) to paint about 2800 sq feet. We've had a slight issue with the rehanging of the front door - which is a bit askew, but the company assures us they will be out asap to fix it. All in all we are very happy with the work.

Description of Work: Excel really renewed our faith in contractors. The crew showed up on time, worked all day and were good natured and willing to answer questions and address concerns. The final walk-through turned up a few areas that were missed. The crew corrected them on the spot and made sure we were happy before they left. It was a surprisingly low-stress experience. We would highly recommend Excel to anyone we know. Our house is beautifully painted and we couldn't be more pleased. |

Description of Work: Did a great job painting my house - the team was prompt and pretty considerate, and consulted with us as they were going along to make sure they were doing the right thing. Actual quality of the work was pretty high, and they worked around an issue well. (I had to have my front steps completely replaced during the work).

Description of Work: They painted our living room and did a great job. Everything was easy from our side and well-taken care of in the end. The only minor drawback was that they were almost too nonchalant about things. I had to call twice to make sure they had everything they needed and once they did need something from me to make the paint match we wanted. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't been proactive.

Ryan came through, checked the job out, and then emailed me a timely, simple, detailed estimate for work. There were a couple changes, and he kept me updated and in the loop on everything. The painters showed up on time every day, and were personable and professional. We were out of town for the end of the job, and I had previously told them it was important to me that they finished before we returned. When we got home, everything was done, and we were able to immediately start enjoying our place.

Ryan visited my home for about an hour when he came to survey the house in order to provide an estimate. He was very professional, answered all my concerns, and fully explained the process so I knew what to expect. As soon as I gave them the okay to proceed, the staff came within a week and were professional, prompt, and clean from start to finish. They came each day prepared to work from 7 AM and would leave around 7 PM. At first I thought I would have to take time away from work to be home and available, but by the middle of the week, I realized that there was no reason for me to be home as the entire staff had everything under control and I felt safe with them. The work was done in about 9 days, if I remember correctly. It was done in the time frame they promised and upon my inspection of their work, I soon realized that the team had the same level of quality I expected. I am a very observant person with lots of questions. It was great that every one of the staff were friendly and answered my questions without making me feel like I was bugging them or keeping them from finishing their work. Upon inspection, every area was painted to the perfection I expected and the team made all the right calls when it came to color choice on the gutters, wires lines against the house, trims, etc. The two main reasons I chose Excel Coatings are - 1. Their reviews and testimonials from past clients and 2. The quote was not an estimation, but actual cost so I knew there would be no surprises. Other company quotes specifically indicated on the quote that it's an estimation and actual cost may very. I would use Excel Coatings again and refer them to anyone looking for quality work from a team of staff that's professional, cares about client expectations, and honest.

Ryan Barr from Excel Coatings is a professional. He was on time for our scheduled bid. He came prepared with a detailed portfolio, and extensive references. His crew was on time, prepared, and cleaned up very well. Ryan was on site at the start and finish of the job. The work was first rate and I would use their services again.

When I was looking for a paint company for my extensive interior project, I received bids from five companies ranging from very expensive to a little scary. From the first interaction with Ryan Barr during the bid process, I knew right away THIS was the company I wanted to work with. He was knowledgeable, professional and realistic. From start to finish, every member of Excel Coatings was extremely professional, reliable and frankly, fun to work with. Their work was nothing but superior and I plan to hire them again for our exterior paint job this summer. I had no idea working with a paint company could be so easy.
Description of Work: We hired Excel Coatings to prime and paint all of the new trim in our 3,300 sq. foot house. We also hired them to paint several rooms that included 25 ft. ceilings.

I knew I would need help in these projects, and was daunted at the idea of how much time it would take me to do on my own. What I didn't realize was how much time and money hiring Excel paintings would save me in the end! They uncovered patches of crumbling, molding plaster under the wallpaper, evidence of a slow leak that my landlord was able to fix before we moved in. Same was true for the exterior, where they also identified a very large picture window that was loose in it's framework due to rotting wood- details that my untrained eye would have skipped over. The Excel team was fast, friendly, on-time and very professional. Ryan Barr presented me with a very reasonable bid soon after we met, and even with all the surprises, the invoice wasn't far off from the original estimate.
Description of Work: We needed a professional painter to repaint the exterior of a 1920's storefront, remove old wallpaper from inside and smooth out a roughly patched old doorway.

I was impressed with the professionalism of Excel Coatings from the moment that I contacted them for an estimate. Ryan showed up on time for the estimate, and thoroughly discussed the project scope with me to determine exactly what I wanted done. I received estimates from three companies, and Excel Coatings was priced in the middle. I chose Excel Coatings because I felt that they understood my needs, and there bid was extremely clear. The crew showed up exactly when they said they would, and worked consistently from the start of the project until they were finished. I was extremely impressed with how professional and courteous the crew was. The quality of work was outstanding. Overall, it was the best experience that I have ever had with a contractor.
Description of Work: Excel Coatings repainted the walls and ceilings in many of the rooms in my house.

Good service for exterior painting of a medium-sized 1950's house. they are well-organized and prompt, and did a pretty good clean up job. All of their materials were neatly staged and put away each day. Ryan, the manager, was prompt in returning calls and answering questions. Be sure to inspect the work; we had them patch some cracks and holes we found after they had finished.

The crew of Excel Coatings did excellent work; this was a large job with a lot of landscaping to work around, but the crew was very conscious with all aspects of the work, from painting to caulking to cleaning to protecting our yard. We were especially impressed with the project manager Ryan; he had excellent follow up, returned phone calls promptly, and was very dependable and responsive to any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Excel Coatings to anyone looking for quality work by a reliable company.
Description of Work: Exterior painting of a 2 story, 2500 square foot house, including stairs, porch, trim, many windows, caulking, and power washing. House was built in 1928 and had much peeling paint from a previous poorly done paint job.
