Mike P. And his crew (Diego & Rick I believe) were exceptional. They were meticulous with every detail & did a fantastic job! We had recently moved into a house and some of the exterior doors & trim were in rough shape. I wish I had taken some "before" pictures. They literally had them looking like brand new doors…

Fantastic experience from the initial visit to the final walk through, Powers Painting was great. Kudos to Mike and Edward who did the work as the interior of my home looks great. They came in and covered everything with drop cloths or plastic, fixed the walls and ceiling (spotting defects i didn’t know existed) and painted walls and ceilings in 3 rooms and 2 halls with great professionalism and care. At the end they cleaned up and you would never know they where there!
Fantastic!

The crew did an amazing job, they were professional and compassionate. We have a special needs son and they were concerned about making him comfortable.. from letting him pick his own room color to painting his room first. On top of all of this they did an amazing job....thank you

Mike P. And his crew (Diego & Rick I believe) were exceptional. They were meticulous with every detail & did a fantastic job! We had recently moved into a house and some of the exterior doors & trim were in rough shape. I wish I had taken some "before" pictures. They literally had them looking like brand new doors when they were finished. They also did a fantastic job in the bedrooms. Not a speckle of paint on any of the trim or ceiling & the walls looked flawless. My wife & I were absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out. One of the best home improvement experiences we have had. Could not recommend Powers Painting & Decorating enough. The scheduling process was also very smooth & had excellent communication. Lisa was extremely helpful & friendly. They even got our project started earlier than expected which was great. You will not be disappointed!!

Eileen Stout2 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Eileen has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
The crew at from Powers Painting & Decorating did an excellent job for us on our interior painting job. They went above and beyond with extensive patching and smoothing of the old paint surfaces, and provided some extra services like taking down and capping an old chandelier line, and numerous other little extras. They were very detailed in letting us know the state of the project and did everything with attention to detail and focus on quality. We have very high ceilings and a beam that needed paint, but they handled the job quickly and efficiently despite the need for some special equipment. They also cleaned up and wrapped up the project on time. I highly recommend Powers Painting and Decorating for any painting project.

Had my living room, haalway and bathroom along with wallpaper removal. Great experience. The end result exceeded my expectations. Logan was very courteous, and worked efficiently. And everything was neat and put back together before the team left.
Great work again. Originally used their service before they became a company. Tim was great, no issues, totally professional. And 1/2 the price from other professional quotes. Great job!
