What customers said about exterior painting
The Original PainterJose did an exceptional job in painting my home! He uses the best quality of paint and is very detailed oriented. Not only did he do a great job in which I’m extremely happy with, his charge was in a reasonable price range. I highly recommend Jose to anyone who wants any paint work!
The Original PainterI definitely recommend this company. And will use them again for future work. Great work above my expectations. I was very happy with the results.
The Original PainterExcellent work! They were here on time every day and always checked with me if there was a problem. This review should have gone in months ago but I couldn't get the site to accept it. In any case, they did a great job and I highly recommend them 👍 .
The Original PainterWe've been using Jose for over 10 years now and he is hands down the best painter there is. He has done interiors, exteriors, trim and cabinets in our homes and the work is perfection. I've never seen cutting-in lines along trim and base so straight and clean. Consistently executes quality at a fair price. Try him…
The Original PainterI am astounded at the professionalism, quality, integrity and price. I’ve never seen anyone work so hard and do such a great job. They said 5 days and it was 5 days. They are so kind and considerate and go the extra mile. I will always call The Original Painters for everything I need.
The Original PainterI'm glad I choose The Original Paiter for my exterior painting. Not only did they do a superior job, they're level of professionalism in prep work & cleanup and punctuality!! I would highly recommend The Original Painter!
