I was amazed at how quickly Thrift Painting fit my job into their schedule. Barely a week after I first contacted them, everything was done and it all looks fantastic. Weight off my mind!

The price was good, they were responsive, and they did a nice job. I thought it was a good price. They are a little below everybody else. They took a little bit longer than I liked but they responded when I said "Hey it's a little slow here." It took a couple weeks I think, part of it was weather. They probably could of went a little faster. My daughter used them and she wasn't quite as happy because they didn't seem to be quite as efficient. I thought they were very thorough. I thought they did a great job with the painting, they had to fill things in, they had to fix the deck.
Description of Work: They painted all my exterior trim. They did my deck. They did a little carpentry on my deck and then they stained my deck. They painted the garage door.

I am not sure who I used because I got it through Thrift Painting. I think the power washing was overpriced. If I had to do it all over again I would of got somebody else. I know they were way overpriced. At one point the water came in under the door, I didn't like that. They were punctual. I wasn't thrilled about the whole thing.

They were timely in scheduling and completing the painting . I had gotten several proposals and their price was competitive with the other companies. Their workmen were very polite and cleaned up well. After I had looked over the work and paid them, I found a small patch of soffit that they had missed. I called and they promptly came out and took care of that.

They were very punctual, through and responsive to questions. I received multiple bids and although they were not the cheapest, they were the best value for the quality work and service they provide. My deck had a poor paint/stain job previously and now it looks amazing. I would highly recommend them.

We were very pleased with our experience working with Thrift Painting. I originally contacted 3-5 painters for bids, and Thrift was the only one to get back to us right away. We got our quote on time and they kept us updated about the start date depending on weather, etc. Due to the age of our house, they used safe lead paint removal procedures and communicated all of the steps. They thoroughly scraped the peeling paint and re-painted our exterior front entrance, front door, screened in porch (ceiling, floor, railings, and frames). They also replaced all of the screens. The crew was very professional, they cleaned up at the end of each day, and our final invoice matched our quote. We would definitely hire Thrift again.

In the 14 years at this house, the deck never looked this good before! The power washing removed stains that I thought were permanent, without fraying or damaging the wood. The staff were helpful, professional and conscientious - final visit, they moved furniture back on deck and touched up a scratch from moving the heavy grill. I would recommend their work to anyone.

Overall we are very pleased w/ the work they did. Good service started w/ Thrift actually answering the phone the first time I called. Larry came out (traveled 1/2 hr south of Madison) right away to do the bid. Met w/ us and walked around the house. Listened to our concerns and gave options. Bid submitted on time. Cost reasonable. Did not try and push any 'deals' or extra services. We chose a new color for the house and they were very patient when we hemmed and hawed over colors. The painters came the day they said they would and performed the work quickly and professionally. Cleaned up after themselves and were respectful of our property. When they were done my husband pointed out some spots that needed touch up. The painter came out the next day at noon, fixed it and then met my husband later that day to make sure it was correct. I would definitely use them again.

Thrift painting power washed my deck. They returned a short time later and professionally stained the deck. The entire process was smooth. The initial meeting with John was pleasant. He came to the house and inspected the deck and showed us samples of stain colors. A few days later the crew came and power washed the deck. All the rain in June held up our process for a number of days. Thrift painting was able to get my deck stained in a few days "window of no rain". It was done for my daughter's graduation party. They made sure to keep track of this important event, and managed to get the job done when mother nature was less than cooperative. I recommend them and would use them again.

Without exception, painters were very pleasant to work with, on time, SPEEDY but METICULOUS- willing to adjust schedule slightly to accommodate/avoid morning in-house traffic. Excellent prep and coverage of all areas. Small details/requests were addressed without need for reminders. We felt comfortable leaving the house, knowing the completed work and cleanup would be more than satisfactory upon our return. Items including large pieces of furniture were moved and put back in place before the end of the day. We never felt displaced- an amazing and praiseworthy feat! Price seemed in line with other local companies. Adhered to timeline and bid. Very happy experience.
Description of Work: Interior walls of kitchen, dining room, living room, and 2 stairways were painted- 2 coats when necessary. Ceilings and trim including doors of the aforementioned plus ceilings and trim of 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms were also painted.

We are very pleased with the results and with Thrift's professionalism. Larry, the supervisor and estimator, was very prompt and responsive expecially when coordanating Thrift's work with others such as those doing cabinets, plumbing, and flooring. Gary, who did all of the wallpapering and most of the painting, was very careful, responsive, and flexible. We are very happy with the result.
Description of Work: Thrift did a variety of work for us beginnning in August 2012 through March 2013. This included some exterior painting, some interior painting, removal of wallpaper, and hanging new wallpaper in 9 rooms.

I joined Angie's List shortly after I accepted the bid from Thrift, but was pleased and, ultimately, not surprised, to see their high rating when I did. In general, the carpentry work and painting done on the exterior of my house was executed by two wildly-competent and experienced individuals who kept their work-space tidy between visits, kept in good communication throughout the process, and followed-through on even the most minute promises (thank you, Pat!). Due to our unusual weather (beastly hot with occasional storms rolling through), the job was not easy to complete in successive days. Despite the heat, Pat and Steve were always cordial and I learned to be patient between their visits. Larry (who gave me my original estimate) is friendly and sincere and stood behind his word when at once it seemed that the work that we agreed to couldn't be done without going over the original estimate. Thrift clearly cares about meeting the needs of its customers. The work on my house speaks for itself. Thank you, Thrift Painting!

Compared to the other 3 companies I called for a bid, Thrift was the most timely in response. They were accommodating and professional from start to finish. They even offered to include some other minor detail work that they did not charge extra for - and this attention to detail has made a great overall positive appearance in the exterior of the house.

They did a great job, everything looks really good. They are very prompt and courteous. The painter was very friendly and helpful. He touched up about 10-12 spots on the house that had some paint from the deck all on his own. The price was very fair.
