Customer Feedback:
De Martini/Arnott Painting Company
“They were very helpful in helping me choose the colors, which was something I wasn’t expecting. They also did a faux marble finish on our fireplace— we get compliments on that every time anybody sees it. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“He’s very personable, and serious about doing a good job. We use him about twice a year. He did a fantastic job on a couch that hadn’t been cleaned for years. It came out looking great.”

Bryan Welden Painting
“I will be hiring him again soon! His prices are reasonable, he’s dependable, does great work, and is a great person. We had him do work on another house we were selling as well. He knows his business, he knows his colors, and he makes great recommendations.”

Customer Feedback:
Crystal Springs Painting Company
“They power washed and prepped the surfaces before they started painting. They even repaired termite damage in the eaves, sealed off the windows, and primed everything! They took great pains to protect my plants and bushes. I’m really fussy, and they were just great. They get an A+!!”
