As it turned out, the second painter for the job didn't turn up that morning, and the painter who arrived did the entire job himself -- including the 16'ceiling in the great room. The job was perfect, and he did it all in one day. He was totally professional and the house was immaculate when he finished.
Description of Work: We hired Genesis to paint our great room, kitchen, and guest bath.

Jim came out for an estimate about a month before I wanted the work done which worked out great scheduling-wise for both of us. The plan for what work was to be done changed kind of mid-stream (because of me) but Jim was always flexible and kept me informed on how things were going. The one bathroom ended up taking longer than we thought because the original paint job was problematic but in the end it looks beautiful. I especially liked how well he cleaned up after all of the jobs. So many contractors leave a mess at the end and that wasn't the case at all with Jim. He always has great ideas and if he sees something that could easily be remedied, he'll make suggestions and give an on-the-spot estimate for how much extra it might be. I appreciated his proactive nature and the fact that he was polite and trustworthy. I will definitely be hiring him in the future!
Description of Work: I had a couple of bathrooms that needed repainting including one that required a fair amount of ceiling repair and a bedroom that needed painting as well. He also did various handyman activities for me that included: caulking a bathtub, fixing a shelf in a kitchen cabinet, repairing some brick masonry, devising a solution to some sunken concrete in the driveway and fixing a lazy susan cabinet in the kitchen.

We were extremely pleased with every aspect of the work Genesis did for us. From the estimate provided by Jeff, through completion of the work, everything was done on time, in a very professional manner, and for a reasonable price. Fernando and his crew were friendly, neat, prompt, and excellent, hard-working painters. In terms of quality of work, professionalism, and overall price, Genesis was an easy choice for us. This seems to be a customer-oriented company, which is willing to work with customers to meet their needs.Our experience with Genesis was exceptional. We highly recommend them.

The color consultant was excellent, This alone was worth hiring Genesis. The contract covered every possible item. The painters showed up on time and were very considerate of our home. They endured our two large dogs with grace and kindness. The workmanship and attention to detail was flawless. We feel like salespeople for the company but when you've been to court to get contractors to abide by their contracts, this was a pleasure and made our new house our home
Description of Work: GENESIS IS SIMPLY THE BEST; ATTENTION TO DETAIL QUALITY OF MATERIALS, QUALITY OF ADVISE, QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP. we recently finished a new home and because of some awful experiences, we tried to choose our painter carefully. Genesis was not listed on Angie's list but should have been, We responded to their thoughtful ad and was impressed with their response. We had our entire home's interior painted and we were completely pleased with the quality of materials and expertise of their painter. We were completely pleased in all aspects of the job.

I called Jim to see if he had time to paint our kitchen before the new counter top was to be installed. He came out to give us an esimate after seeing what it involved. After we painted the cupboards we called him & he was able to fit us in his busy schedule so it would be done before that installation. We were very happy he could complete the job so soon. In 2010 we called Genesis Painting to have a bedroom painted, they called back and referred us to All Aspects. I called him & he came out to give us an estimate. Come to find out it was Jim that finished our basement family room in 1982 which he did a terrific job. All the work done here has been super, he is very knowledgeable and we would recommend him for any painting job you would like done, inside or outside. Thanks Jim !!
Description of Work: Jim taped, patched walls, painted the whole kitchen

I was a little concerned when initially, workers did not show up at the appointed time the first day. After calling the on-site manager, I was informed that another job had taken longer than expected because of additions made to the work request. However, workers did show up later that day and began the work. All other aspects of the work went very smoothly, so that initial communication glitch was very minior in the whole scheme of things. We were very happy with all other aspects of the job performed. Great company to work with.
Description of Work: We hhired Genesis Painting after having researched numerous providers in Madison whcih we felt would best meet the needs of our older cedar-shingled home. We chose Genesis because they were able to provide the services we needed, within the budget we could afford, and in a timely manner. We were very pleased with the products used and the quality of the work provided. Jeff answered all our questions, the work was scheduled and completed quickly, and the workers were very friendly and professional. They thoroughly scraped all surfaces of the house and trim, replaced some broken shingles, and painted trim and house. They showed up on time, worked hard every day, and completed the work in less time than we expected. They were also meticulous about cleaning up each day, and at the end of the job. The on site manager, Robb, was very hlepful in obtaining extra color chart and other iinformation and we felt like he/workers were always very accessible to us to answer questions or concerns throughout the process. Our old house now looks like it's had a major facelift and is something to be proud of. We are very grateful for the excellent work that Genenis and staff have provided, and would certainly use their services again.

We would highly recommend Jim Vincent at All Aspects Painting as an interior painter. He was professional, timely, hard working and very skilled. He called us ahead of schedule to specify our exact paint requests and matched us with a very nice, durable product from Sherwin Williams. He arrive exactly on time each of the five days that he was in the house. He stayed late to complete the project on time. He walked us through the rooms each night to keep us abreast of his project. He had an assistant on two of the days in order to get as much done as possible as soon as possible. We are very pleased with the outcome. The paint coverage, corners and detail work demonstrated Jim's high level of expertise and experience. They were very tidy at the end of the project as well. We would definitely call Jim again for future painting needs.
Description of Work: The project included our entire main floor - kitchen, dining, living room, four bedrooms, two baths, a large closet - all the walls and ceilings. They also touched up our metal banister.

From start to finish all went well. The painter called back in a timely fashion and was on the job exactly when he said he would be. All the furniture was well covered, the paint looks great, it cost what I was quoted, and the clean up was immaculate.
Description of Work: I had Jim Vincent paint my family room and stairway to the basement. He did an excellent job and left everything very neat and tidy. I had some drapes that were hung in an unusual fashion and Jim figured out how to keep them out of the way and was very careful about wrapping them so they didn't wrinkle. I was impressed!

I thought that they were quite professional. The price was a little high but they have the best reputation and experience in this area. They did measurements and gave a thorough estimate. They came out within two days of my calling them. They were on time. I would use them in the future if it was a big job.

Overall was excellent. My kitchen and bathroom were remodeled so there were places on the ceiling and walls that needed extra help. Jim fixed all of that before he started painting. Everything was covered in plastic, taped & tarps down. He painted the Kitchen, then the bathroom. It looks just super. I find myself staring at my accent wall because it gives my kitchen a whole new look. He put paint in little containers for us if we needed to do touch ups down the road. I just figured he would paint the ceilings & walls and be done, but all the extra work he did was well worth the money. next job: living room & hallway
Description of Work: We called Genesis Painting and they referred us to Jim Vincent.. We called Jim and he came over to give us an estimate to paint our Kitchen and bathroom and repair cracks and other touch up's needed. He brought paint samples to look at and recommended what kind of paint to use. He gave us a followup call. We called and setup dates to come over to start painting. He worked with our schedule. I bought the paint so he told us how many gallons he would need. My kitchen & bathroom look really awesome. Thanks Jim for doing such a great job!!!!!!

Everything went very smoothly. Jim Vincent was very professional, conscientious and passionate about doing a great job. He had tremendous attention to detail and was very knowledgeable about the products and his techniques. Jim spent the day taping, painting and touching up our daughter's new room. When he was done there was no trace he had been there. After the long day, he even took the time to help us put together a toy chair for our son (my wife was having some serious difficulties putting that one together!) Jim did a fantastic job and we are very happy with the quality of work. We would certainly use him again.
Description of Work: We contacted Genesis looking for an estimate to have our daughter's room painted. We were referred to use Jim Vincent because we had a smaller job. He gave an accurate, reasonable estimate over the phone and talked me through picking what type of paint would be correct for the job.

A great experience again, this is actually the second time we've had Jim Vincent come out to paint from Genesis. A reasonable estimate, great work and easy to work with. We have had no complaints on any of the work done and are looking forward to using them again when we are ready on our next project.

Jim answered all of my phone calls and gave an accurate estimate of cost. He picked up the paint the morning of the job (it took me that long to settle on a color choice) and arrived on time. He was very thorough and careful. He was very conscious of my home, protecting my carpet and furniture and respectfully removing his shoes before walking on the carpet. I was very pleased with Jim's work and will use him in the future.
Description of Work: Jim painted my kitchen in August 2010 and did a wonderful job. He had to cover up some pretty challenging paint as my husband and I had a bad experience trying to paint the kitchen red. Jim did a great job and I was so happy with my new sunny yellow kitchen that I called Jim again when I decided to paint an accent wall in my family room in April 2011. There is a high vaulted ceiling and a fireplace on the wall that I needed painted, so I couldn't do it myself. Jim did an excellent job once again!

After calling Genesis and getting Jim's phone number, I called him and described the job I needed done. He gave me an estimate over the phone that I was happy with. We spoke on several occasions as I was indecisive about my paint color, and Jim answered the phone every time. I never had to leave a message and wait for a return call. I finally decided on my paint color about an hour before Jim arrived, and told him the color I wanted over the phone. He went and picked up the paint on his way to my home. He worked swiftly and painted the wall perfectly. I am very happy with his work and thankful that Genesis referred me to him. I will use him again when I paint my bathroom in the future.
Description of Work: I called Genesis with a small job of painting an accent wall in my family room. They referred me to a painter who does their small jobs for them. His name is Jim. He was very responsive and friendly. He even picked up the paint for me, all I had to do was tell him the color. Jim painted an accent wall in my living room around my fire place with a very high vaulted ceiling and did a wonderful job.

Due to his efforts (and ours, of course) our home sold within one day of listing with the realtor. I would highly recommend Jim as a trusted and capable painter and handyman. I hope that someone needing his expert assistance will read this and find a solution to their problems, as we did. We are planning on asking him to help us paint our new place (when we find it) and hang the more complex items on the walls!
Description of Work: During the past year, Jim has painted nearly every room in our house, most recently working on the hallway doors. My husband is now using a wheelchair (thus the reason for the move to a more accessible home) and Jim was able to erase the marks on the door frames and doors from the wheelchair and do many things which were beyond my skills. He installed flooring in our basement, repaired the living room ceiling, which had been damaged by an ice dam, and even was able to save my wall stenciling by matching the paint color in our laundry room.

Overall the experience was great. All the work was done in only a few weeks. Jim was very good about providing a detailed estimate prior to the work and sticking to that estimate. His work was of very high quality and we will continue to use him if needs arise in the future.
Description of Work: We had Jim paint nearly every room in the condo we recently purchased, including the living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, stairway, hallway, and bathroom. It involved removing a lot of old wallpaper and fixing multiple spots that were cracking or peeling. Jim did a very thorough job of removing the cracked portions, filling with plaster, sanding flat, and then texturing the area to blend in. He was also very considerate when it came to the smell, using low VOC paint and only using the oil primer (stinky) when we were away on travel. I appreciated this being 6 months pregnant and having a 2 yr old running around. He also removed a toilet and vanity very quickly and cleanly so we could start our remodel with a clean slate. He was also comfortable and efficient when removing an electric wall-mounted heater and the corresponding breakers. We plan to have him come back to re-do the walls in our second bathroom and change out all the outlets and switches to more modern looking ones.
