I appreciated the fact that they came out, we spent some time, and they made suggestions from a color palette, decorating styles and giving me a basic quote. The price was not super cheap but it was reasonable.
Description of Work: I got a quote from them for painting the interior of my house. I was going to provide the paint. They gave me a quote for painting 7 rooms.

100% pleased with finished job. The quality of work is excellent and house looks great. Extensive prep work was done before any final painting. All carpentry work on repairs and siding replacement was well done. Color recommendations from Mike and wife's ideas differed causing some stress. Mike could do a better job of communication, status updates, when they would be on site, when they would be leaving site, changes in plans, etc. Net result, house looks excellent, quality is outstanding, very pleased with end result.
Description of Work: Prepped, primed and painted entire exterior of 2,400 square foot cedar sided home. Replaced approximately 550 feet of cedar siding and repaired/replaced some rotted wood discovered during prep process.

Our experience was horrible!! Not only was Mike Nelson's work marginal, he was very offended as we expressed our concerns and dissatisfaction. He was so angry that we were not happy with his work, it seemed that was all he could focus on. One would think a contractor would do anything to meet the needs of his customer..this was not the case. He was extremely unprofessional. He did not return my phone calls. He failed to leave his written estimate and mail a copy, showing we paid in full, as he said he would do. He argued with my husband and, at one point, stepped towards him..as if he was going to get physical. When I tried to explain the changes we wanted, he walked away from me. He stated he did not want to complete the job because he couldn't fulfill our expectations. Our requests were simple...we have textured walls throughout our home. We wanted the patchwork to match this. The drywall repair is so poor it will need to be completely redone and, consequently, repainted. We were shocked that he was unwilling to complete the job, especially considering we had inquired about a couple of other estimates for future work. There is no way we would recommend this company.
Description of Work: The painter was hired to repair a small section of drywall, patch holes and paint 3 areas of our home. One wall was to be faux suede. Upon his early completion, the drywall "repair" needs to be completely redone...only some of the holes are patched with texture....the paint coverage is marginal and the faux wall was never finished. He also got paint on our carpet and did not clean up any of the dust that coated the rooms.

Mike gave us a quote to prime and paint 12 interior doors & the trim around them. Mike and his sons came in the morning and removed all the doors and hinges, took the doors outside and set up tarps and plastic in our garage to paint. They sprayed the doors in my garage and re-installed later that day. This is where the problems started. They mixed up all the hinges and screws for all the doors so when they went to re-install it all, they had no idea which hinges went with which doors, etc. End result was that 8 of the doors no longer closed. They also stripped out several of the screws on the hinges so I had to buy longer screws and screw the hinges into the wall framing just to keep them tight so the doors would close again. When Mike was done and ready to leave, I told him he missed filling in nail holes on a few of the door frames and did not paint the trim. He told me we got a good deal for the price and should be happy with the work. Basically saying he under quoted the job and that was all the work we were getting out of him for the price he quoted. After I paid him, he told me he'd leave me whats left of the paint so I could do any touchups or the trim that he didn't do. He put the leftover paint in our coat closet. I pulled it out the next day to touch up everything he missed and the can was empty!! Unbelievable. He also left behind all the empty paint cans from the job as well as a can full of paint thinner. We also spent half a day removing paint from our garage floor where his overspray went through his tarps and plastic. Overall it was a disaster. One of the worst contractors I've ever had in my house. Your taking your chances when using this guy.

Mike came in and quoted the job. I had others quote it as well, Mike seemed more confident in painting woodwork and seemed to have an eye for color. He knew I had a time crunch and needed the job done, and he responded accordingly. He got all the work done with time to spare. I at one point didnt know what color to paint the kitchen, and I used Mikes suggestions. It looks wonderful. Mike and his sons are very pleasant and I felt comfortable having them here even if I wasnt. I would hire them again without hesitation. They did a perfect job.
Description of Work: Mike and the boys painted our dining room walls and ceiling..not only that but they painted my woodwork and windows as well. The room has been totally transformed ! I also had my kitchen and family room wallks and ceilings painted. In the kitchen and dining room we had wallpaper that we removed ourselves... Mike worked his magic and the walls looked pristine as ever.

Painting was done in a timely matter, but was not very professional looking. Lines between ceiling and walls are not very straight. Kitchen had some pop outs of plaster that were left and not looking very good.

Mike and his sons did an excellent job. Very professional, he did everything you asked him to do and more. He made suggestions that we liked, the house looked great when he was finished. He did a walk through with me and fixed the few problem areas that I found.

The rooms look wonderful!! There were small cracks in the ceiling that we didn't notice before and Mike repaired them before starting to paint. He used a special mix of white on the ceilings that was a very crisp white and makes the rooms shine. Mike made sure that the ceiling looked right from every angle before considering it to be done. The walls were being painted darker than previously and they were careful to make sure that the colors rang true to my sample and that there was full coverage on the walls. The edge lines at the ceiling are sharp and straight and a real sign of their professionalism. They were very neat and tidy. No drips down the wall and no mess anywhere. I really could not be more pleased with the end result!
Description of Work: Mike painted the ceilings and walls in my kitchen and living/dining room.

Mike came out to give us an estimate and was very detailed as to what he was going to do for us. We had two other painters come out also and they were not even close as to the detailing we wanted. Once the house was power washed things went very fast. He did everything we asked him to do and more. If there was something else we wanted painted he was right on it with no problem. We didn't like the color for the shutters and he went and got different color right away and got it done. They cleaned up around the house and were very careful of our extensive landscaping. The house looks great!

Mike Nelson made a very good first impression providing a detailed description of what he would do to paint our house. I sensed that he would do a great job & he did not disappoint. Not only did he power wash the house, he also did the patio & front walk which haven t been so clean in years. Mike showed me the paint ratings from Consumer Reports & indicated that he was using the best paint listed. We had a gutter, fascia & trim that were different colors & doors that blended in with it all. He unified the color of the gutter & fascia. He put a lot of thought into what colors to use on the doors and into doing the best job. Mike was very fastidious about his work, ensuring that everything was painted neatly & thoroughly. No detail was missed & I discovered that Mike is much fussier about doing things right than I am. He and his sons were very respectful of my flowers and plantings around the house. The house looks absolutely wonderful thanks to Mike & his sons!
Description of Work: Power washed the house(also patio & front walk), primed and painted the exterior of the house, doors, gutter, fascia, roof flashing and various trim pieces.

This is Mike's second job for us. We knew we had a dependable, on time painter who would pay attention to details and do a great job. We were very pleased with the results and he will be coming back soon to paint the kitchen.
Description of Work: Mike painted the back hall and laundry room, where we had a multispec finish. He needed to sand off the finish, before painting. He also painted two bedrooms and bathroom. We had three different colors. He was courteous, payed attention to detail and completed the work in the time frame we requested.

Of three estimates, I chose this painter based on Angie's list, and a VERY positive impression at our first meeting. The other 2 companies told me they'd simply come and leave me their estimate -- no need for me to be there. Mike said it was important that we meet (and I agreed.) The estimate was VERY detailed, and he answered numerous questions plus gave us some new ideas about problems. (The other estimates were cheaper, but not as detailed & thorough.) Painting began in October, understandably scheduled around the weather. We would have appreciated a little more initiated communication about progress, encountered problems (unable to paint one door), but Mike was prompt and responsive when I called him various times. Overall we were very pleased with the quality of the finished product.
Description of Work: Power-washed and painted house and shed. Work included vinyl siding, wood trim, doors, shutters, and 20+ French windows.
