Excellent work and an affordable price. Chris and Jake were efficient and did a great job painting the exterior of our house. They worked quickly and were clean as they completed each step. Communication was clear and they collaborated with us on color and design. We will have them paint the interior of our home next! Highly recommend Forbes Brothers Painting.

We had a fantastic experience with Forbes Brothers Painting from start to finish. Chris was excellent to work with, very responsive, professional, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. He also helped us choose a beautiful new color combination that gave our home the perfect updated look with great contrast, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The brothers were friendly, polite, hardworking, and the quality of the paint work was outstanding. We were also impressed with how quickly everything moved, from the initial estimate to the completed paint job. It’s not often you find a company that combines great communication, speed, and high quality craftsmanship, but Forbes Brothers delivered on all of it. We highly recommend Forbes Brothers Painting to anyone looking for a professional, high quality exterior paint job!

Forbes Brothers Painting was amazing.! Their work ethics are beyond amazing.. they removed old shutters, any siding that need to be replaced they removed and put new up, c a u l k e d every s e a m, before they even got to the painting.. my house is the prettiest house in the neighborhood. I cannot say enough.. thank you Forbes Brothers Painting for an amazing experience and very reasonable. Thank you

Forbes Brothers Painting did a great job on our house! Their attention to detail was above and beyond and makes the house look beautiful! They were very thorough in sealing before painting and also repaired wood rot around our window sills, which really needed to be done. When I accidentally wrote the wrong amount on a check and handed it to Chris, he was honest and told me I had written the check for more than they were charging me. I so appreciate this integrity! I highly recommend this company!

These guys are amazing! Very professional, communicate great, get back to the customer timely, good pricing, and do great work. I highly recommend them and I am VERY particular with who I select to do work. Whenever we had a question/concern Chris got back in touch quickly. They work quickly but paid close attention to detail. The pricing was very reasonable. I was hesitant to go with them due to the low quote but others highly recommended. I’m incredibly thankful I did. They didn’t tear up or mess up my yard/landscape. They did clean up after work.
