Our request for an estimate was handled quickly and professionally. We requested and received proof of insurance. We asked for two estimates – one to include paint and supplies, and another to exclude paint, so we would have the option of purchasing our own brand. The difference in price was a few thousand. To keep the job simpler for us, we decided to have Prestigious supply all materials and paint. The paint they used was Farrell Calhoun.
The painters came on the day they were scheduled to arrive. They worked a few days prepping and testing existing paint to determine type of paint ( latex/oil based ). This was followed by matching existing paint colors with new colors. The surfaces were primed with the appropriate primer and painted with a coat of latex paint. Some of the first soffit boards that were painted had a “sheen” blotchiness, which was corrected before continuing with the rest of the house. Prestigious and the painters responded well to this challenge.
We felt comfortable with the painters, who were pleasant to have around and cleaned up thoroughly every day. Prestigious and the painters communicated well with us to keep us updated with their progress and scheduling.
The house is a large 11/2 story which required the painters to work on the steep roof, with ladders and scaffolding. The house looked great except for more sheen “blotchiness” on the white carport ceiling. Prestigious sent the painters back out several times to try to fix the ceiling sheen, and never expected the final payment until the paint results were perfect. Weather conditions deteriorated thru the holidays, preventing the painters from resolving the ceiling issue, but Prestigious stayed in touch with us while waiting for the weather to improve enough to completely repaint the ceiling. We were very impressed that they didn’t just repaint, regardless of the humidity and low temps, to receive the final payment and be done with our job!
In January, the painters completely repainted the carport ceiling and now the whole house looks beautiful! We don’t think we’ll use this brand of paint again, but we will definitely use Prestigious Painting in the future. The job and its challenges (sheen differences and weather) were handled professionally and we’re very happy with the end result.
