Avatar Painting Inc

They got here late and they left the launch and the cabin down. They were difficult to work with and I did not get the full use of it. I did not pay extra. They did not give me the refund. I did not get the full big deal. They were not at a professional level that I am used to with other providers.

Jason is friendly, professional, punctual, and just a really nice guy. We have a 1923 home and planned on doing all the prep work ourselves. Jason went out of his way to help us pick which priming products to use and even let us borrow some of his own tools to do the work. His crew did a phenomenal job painting our house. They were meticulous and cleaned everything up at the end of the job. It was obvious they took pride in their work, and even worked through the weekend to finish. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend them!

They arrived on time and was able to finish the entire project which was a lot of painting. They did a great job.

They didn't do any sanding and painted over some bubbling paint.

We were not able to get our schedules lined up for the exterior painting so we agreed that we would do interior painting instead. Jason came by and took a look at what we needed to have painted (2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom). He estimated that he could do most of the work covered by the coupon and maybe one extra day. Jason himself did all the prep work and painting and he did an excellent job. We are very pleased with the result. In addition he completed all the work in two days and didn't charge any extra. Despite that he took a lot of time finishing everything perfectly and cleaned and vacuumed leaving everything spotless. If we need any other painting done we will call Jason. He gave us a ballpark for painting the entire exterior of the house and if we decide to do that we will definitely hire him.

I called Avatar to get a bid on painting the exterior of our home. It is a 110+ year old house with peeling paint. They had great ratings on Angie's List so I figured they'd be a good place to start. Avatar was able to come out the very next day, which was great! But, that's about where the positives ended. The owner (I forget his name), shows up acting VERY put out to be doing an estimate. I barely got a "hello, how are you" out of him when he arrived. I invite him in the back yard to get a better look at the house. He literally takes no measurements, doesn't hand me a business card, and just takes a couple cell phone photos of one side of the house. He was physically looking at the home for less than 10 minutes (this is from the moment he pulled up to the moment he left). After asking him about what he thought, his response was "Well, this is a huge job. Just don't be surprised when the estimate is high." I explained to him that I was well prepared for a high estimate, but that I wanted to do the job right. He then proceeds to ask me to TEXT HIM my email address so that he could send me the estimate. I thought it was strange that he didn't have any sort of paper/pen with him to write it down, but I texted him my email address anyway. He told me that he'd have an estimate to me the week or so after Thanksgiving (this was the week before Thanksgiving so I told him not a problem). Here we are January 6th and I haven't heard a word from him. Not even to say "we're not going to bid." I will never call Avatar for a bid again and I would absolutely NOT recommend them.

We would not rehire Avatar. We have purchased other Angie's List and Groupon offers occasionally in the past and had a pretty good experience. It can be a good way to get some work done and know who should be re-hired for other projects.

Jason Mosbey and Team did a great job in painting the interiors of our house, we bought a Angies list deal and are very happy with the outcome. Jason Mosbey was very dedicated and through in his job. He was very sincere and because we needed more than the 1 day of man hours, he came in the weekend to complete the project as we had a tight deadline. We had some old paint in the garage and they managed to reuse all of it and saved us some money. We also bought Sherwin Williams paint through him and we got a very good discount on it. We really appreciate all the great work he and his crew have done, Thank you!

Jason was a pleasure to work with. He has an in-depth knowledge of chemicals that are applicable to providing the highest quality paint job for your home. This was invaluable to me. I wanted a quality paint that would last for many years to come. Unlike other companies that I spoke with that quoted inferior preparation, caulk and paints ( half the cost per gallon of the Sherwin-Williams Duration exterior satin paint that Jason quoted) in order to keep their overall Quote low , Jason put together a very competitive quote using only the best products available on the market. As an example, He recommended a product called Peel-Bond which protects your wood siding and provides the paint a superior bonding surface when applied. Being the 'trust but verify' personality that I am, I researched the best paints and primer coatings at professional painters forums. Sure enough, every exterior product that Jason recommended was the highest rated at the sites. In fact, some painters wont paint a home unless the Peel-Bond is applied. Not one of the other companies I spoke with even mentioned Peel-Bond as an option! Even with only the highest rated products used, including Peel-Bond applied, Jason's quote was lower than most pf the competition. So, if your looking for the highest quality exterior paint job for your home at an excellent price, you need to give Jason a call. I highly recommend Jason and his Company.

Jason and his crew sprayed the exterior of a single family home I'm building. The only issue we had was the timing of the project, as my house was ready to paint right before the unseasonably wet September began, and Jason was unable to squeeze my job in prior. This was beyond his control, and he did keep me updated on my status of his "wait list". When we finally hit a good break of weather, they jumped right on the job, and they performed their painting skills with professionalism. I am satisfied with the services provided by Avatar and would recommend them to others.

Jason emailed me and called to schedule a time to look at the proposed job. He came to my home to preview the work site and the extent of the job. (I had painted all the areas of my home I could reach on an 8 foot ladder. Their job was to paint the higher parts of the house and garage.) By email Jason later scheduled a date and time to do the work. I was not going to be home when they began work, so I set out the paint to be used. When I arrived home, the work was nearly complete. They had tarped my landscaping to prevent splatters on it. They did a careful, clean job of the siding and soffits in one color and the trim in my contrasting chosen color. They cleaned up after the painting was complete. They were punctual, polite, and professional.

Avatar Painting has not performed the service purchased. After purchase Jason made several contacts. When an appointment was set he cancelled early in the day and has not made contact since. I have not made an attempt to contact him I will update this review if contact is re-established and the services purchased are provided.

Did a very good job of painting. It looks great.

We took advantage of the "2 painters for 8 hrs at half price" offer. We got what we paid for, no more. I would not hire them for full price. The scope of the work was: Paint a 2-story stairway (2 tall walls only), remove the wallpaper from 1 regular wall (same stairway), and get that wall ready for us to paint ourselves. They showed up a little late. The 2 painters were very likable on a personal basis. On a professional level, average minus. One painter tackled the 2 tall walls and it went pretty well, even though it took her 8 hours to do so. If I had a tall ladder (I don't, that why we hired "professionals"), I could have done it myself in less time. The other painter took all day to remove wallpaper from one wall. The deal was that this wall would be prepped for us to repaint it ourselves. Since it took all day to remove the wallpaper, they did not have time to prep it (texture it). When we questioned Jason (Avatar Painting owner) about that, he told us that he did not even have the equipment to texture the wall and that he would have to find somebody to do it for us (at extra cost). Question: why did he tell us that he would get the wall ready for us to paint when he didn't have the equipment to texture ???? He should have told us that before even starting the job, because that meant he wasn't able to complete it anyway and we wouldn't even have commissioned him to remove the wallpaper in the first place. We ended up having to hire someone else to texture. We wrote an email to Jason, outlining what was't done at all or not very well, and he started arguing with us back and forth per email, until we finally gave up. We feel that a true professional shouldn't argue about his below-average work, but should do everything in his power to satisfy the customer.

I was unable to use the big deal due to the company no being responsive with my scheduling requests.

They did an excellent job and explained to me about a better paint to use next time.

Painters were on time, friendly and professional as was Jason (owner). Some glitches in scheduling the work, though things turned out well in the end. A good company.

I was unable to use the big deal due to the company not offering any prep work prior to the painting for our deck. We spoke to and dealt with Jason for the company. He was very pleasant to deal with and talk to, he is professional and polite. The company's crew that was sent out was unable to do any scrapping of old paint due to the fear of it might be lead-based. They didn't offer to test it. We tested it, and it was not lead-based. Also they would not power wash or prim the deck. We just decided to not get the service at this time.

Initially tried to schedule, and heard he was too busy, then finally set a date, and he did not appear. He explained some extenuating circumstances, but it was clear to me he was too busy to get to my job, so we agreed that I would find someone else to do it and he would focus on the jobs already scheduled. This occurred around mid July 2013.

I purchased an Angie's List coupon and called Avatar. Jason set up an appointment to do a lead test and confirmed by email. He came out, did the test (no lead) and scoped the job, telling me that the boards would need a lot of prep and his crew would bring spackle, primer etc. He asked about color and I wanted the same color so he asked if I had any leftover to match. I told him I would check. He then emailed with a proposed job date which was fine with me and I confirmed. So far so good. I was unable to find any leftover paint so he asked me to get a sample off the house and take it to Sherwin Williams, which I did. About a week before the job Jason called and told me that he had been the victim of an assault and that he was having memory problems and asked if he had set a date for my job. I told him yes, the 23rd. On the 23rd, he called and said his crew was loading up and would be stopping by the paint store and then be out. He would not be there as it was his five-year-old daughter's birthday. The crew arrived and began work. After a little while, Scott, the senior crew member, knocked on the door and said that the fascia boards were badly rotted in some places and would need spackle. He had called Jason and Jason had told him that he should go get some and I would be billed for the spackle and Scott's time. I immediately called Jason and reminded him that he was supposed to have had his crew bring all necessary primer and spackle and he said that it was in his truck and didn't get transferred. Now he remembered. Things went downhill from there. I don't know if dropcloths were used all the time or if they were and they were carelessly taken up, but the result was the same. When the job was finished Scott asked me to come outside to check, which I did. The job looked fine except that there were a lot of large paint chips on the ground. I pointed that out to Scott and he said he would take care of it and I went inside after giving him a check for the paint and spackle. The next time I went outside after they left I realized that the only paint chips that were picked up were the ones right in front of the front door. I contacted Jason by email and he replied that Scott said "I did not clean up all of the chips. Upon reflection, that was a mistake on my part." and that "Based on this conversation, I am willing to send Scott back out to clean up the chips." That was July 29th. On August 18th I emailed Jason that it was coming up on 4 weeks since the job was done and the paint chips are still there. He replied "perhaps you would consider doing us a favor and picking up the chips yourself?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I am a sixty-six year old widow with a bad back and knees. I have to pay to have yard work done. I obviously will not be using this company again.

Paint most of the trim on my house - what they did was a very good job - but did not take all day.

Project went well . Jason is extremely hard working and pays attention to details.

I feel like they were a little overwhelmed. They were very honest about some personal issues going on at the time and that he would not be able to follow through with the work in the time I allotted.

I'm only giving A's because there is no A+ box. There are no words to describe how hard Jason and his team worked for me. They initially power washed the house. We then had a spate of bad weather which delayed the exterior painting. Far from disappearing like I have experienced with other contractors, Jason was in daily contact with me to be sure he could finish the job as soon as the weather dried up. When he painted the trim, instead of just slapping on a coat of paint and calling it good enough, he let me know I needed a primer to make the new job last. He made the time to do the job right. On the interior, I was coming up against a deadline to get new carpeting in. His team worked deep into the night to get the job done before the flooring people came in. He even helped me with another home repair problem he saw me struggling with. It took him 5 minutes; I would have called in another expert. I don't want to imply he is a handyman or that he will take care of all your home repairs. I just wanted to illustrate what a positive and helpful attitude Jason kept through the job. If you are looking for someone to do a good job, someone who works hard for you and someone with integrity, Avatar is for you.

Both Jason and his employee paid a lot of attention to detail and the finished job shows that. I took advantage of the two painters for 8 hour coupon on Angie's list and feel as though I received very high quality work for the money spent.
