Walls Made New can do truly that as you can see by these pics (Trim and doors hadn’t been done yet) there was a lot of repair work that was needed (lived in for 21 years large family) but they were very professional about it, and the paint job turned out beautifully. Thank you Stephanie and your crew!

Stephanie and her team did an AMAZING job! We were working with a tight timetable due to wanting to get several other projects and new carpet installed in addition to painting most of our house prior to move-in and they were incredibly efficient and finished ahead of schedule without compromising quality at all. They took care of absolutely everything, including patching up several large holes from an outdated intercom system, and covering up several very dark colors. Our walls truly look like new and it was such an improvement when we moved into our home! We’ll definitely be using Walls Made New again if we have any future painting projects and highly recommend them for any painting needs! Communication was excellent all throughout the process and the attention to detail was very much appreciated.

I found Walls Made New on Oldham County Grapevine and decided to give them a shot, and I’m so glad I did! Stephanie and her team exceeded every expectation. Communication was quick and clear, estimate turnaround was super fast, and they even proactively provided color recommendations to help get us started, one of which we ended up choosing. We were on the schedule within just a few days, and the painters were quiet, courteous, professional, and extremely clean in their work. They arrived on time and did an absolutely amazing job. We had two teen rooms that needed very bright, bold colors covered, and the results are exactly what we hoped for. From estimate request to job completion (2 bedrooms), it was less than a week! I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Walls Made New to anyone looking for top-notch painting services!

Stephanie and her team are truly amazing. I had a big project and her team exceeded my expectations. They were so conscientious and take pride in the work that they do. I had them paint and add wainscoting trim work in my entry and great room and I have high ceilings. They were so good with trim spacing and communication to make sure it was done to my liking but also giving me suggestions because it’s tricky. Painters were so good and they covered and cleaned floors and areas. Very trustworthy. Highly recommend!!

I'm proud to be one of Walls Made New early customers! Stephanie did a great job for us on two houses, and she and her crews have done a great job for some family members I referred. As important as her excellent work and reliability, Stepanie is a fine person. I'm so proud of how she's grown her business!

Response from the owner · a year ago

Hi Lessley! You were such a special client to me in the beginning that I will never forget! I’m still so happy that you ended up deciding to hire me and was honored to work in both of your homes! Thank you so much for such kind words and for all of your support! I really appreciate you referring us to your family, who have also been great to work with! Thank you!
