We had Tom and his crew paint the entire house (ceilings, walls, doors and trim) in one straight shot. The whole house now looks ready to sell! They were great to work with. I would definitely use them again!

Tom and his team were great. Tom was very good at communicating, which is rare for contractors. His pricing was very fair and was able to get started right away. After they were done, there were a few nit picky spots that we wanted touched up and he had someone come back out right away to fix it. 100% would recommend.

Tom and Linnie did an amazing job painting my 2nd floor, stairwell and hallway. They were professional, efficient, personable and very reasonably priced as well as easy to work with. They also cleaned up afterwards which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Son’s Painting!

Hello. My name is Carla, and I used Son’s painting last year. Tom’s crew was very professional, and did an excellent job painting my upstairs bedroom and bathroom. They did such a wonderful job that I called him back to paint my living room, and front entrance to my home.

Tom and crew did a fantastic job painting two rooms of our home! They fit us in their schedule right away, were done sooner than anticipated and the work looks great! Not to mention they were the best price out of the 6 quotes we got. Would absolutely use them again in the future!
