Steve Roberts on Painting By Michael

We found our team! It was all meant to be, to find Michael and his team. We had a paint project that was under a time constraint, during Christmas week, that we knew would put my back into a downward spiral.

I have a lumbar fusion from S1-L4 and although I have made improvements, we knew this would most likely "take me down" and be worthless for Christmas. After departing from Home Depot, getting supplies to start the project, I brought up the question..."I wonder how much it would cost to hire someone for this room" as this would be the first time hiring someone to do our painting projects.

As we turned on the street leading to our home, we just so happened to see Michael’s truck! It felt like God was guiding us to him for our answers. I took a picture of his truck, got home and texted the number.

Michael just so happened to be entering our local gas station so I figured if I could catch him, he may be able to answer. He immediately responded to my text with a call, discussed briefly what we were looking to do, and he said "send me your address and I will be right over". It all felt like it was in alignment to meet. He came over, super polite, happy, vibrant, complimentary and gave off such a great vibe right away!

We discussed what needed to be done, and he gave us a number that I felt was very fair, if not better than anything we would have found, especially in this time crunch, and said give us a call if we wanted to get it done. After discussing with my wife, we quickly messaged him back that we accept. He seemed thrilled and said he would be there at 8:30am, Monday morning (mind you, this was a Saturday, late afternoon).

He arrived early with two of his team members. I believe they were a father/son combo as they quickly got all they needed to professionally do the project. Next thing you know, I look up and three were knocking out this room, tag teaming like a well oiled machine. They definitely knew what they were doing. I didn't bother to go up and check on them but instead, relaxed and got some work done on the computer.

About an hour or so later, Michael asked me to take a look, and to my surprise, the entire project had that first coat on it. They left, briefly (for a drying period), came back, and had the entire project complete in 3 hours. I know if I were doing it, it would have taken me 3 hours just to cut in and paint one wall!

They even added in a holiday treat, helping me with extras that we didn't have on the list. After the project, my wife noticed a few small spots that weren’t viewable from how the light was hitting at the time of the project but showed up later on when the light glared in more direct. I honestly didn't notice it myself.

I was told "don't pick up that brush," and it was fixed right away. Overall, we felt blessed to have Michael and his team take on this project, execute it, and have us finished to save the holiday. I will definitely be calling for future projects and highly recommend their services.

Thanks, Mike, for all you did to help us get through.

Michael and his team did a beautiful job!
I love my “new home.”
Michael advised me not too o api y the inside of the window frames and just to keep them white.
Anyone else would have said “go ahead, paint them another color” because of the extra cost involved.
Not only did he and his team do an amazing job, made me laugh out loud because of his wonderful sense of humor and were very polite, but on top of it all, Michael has great integrity and taste.
Thank you Michael. You’re the best!

Michael and his team did an excellent job painting the exterior of my house. They had to apply two coats for the siding and the trim because I changed colors. The job was completed in two days. I consider this record time! Michael was both courteous and enthusiastic about his work. He and his team went far above and beyond what was expected and I am very appreciative of that fact. I highly Recommend Painting by Michael as a company that is reliable and goes the extra mile!

Outstanding work!!!! Michael and his crew worked their tails off for us. The rooms that they painted for the first part of our remodel turned out great. Michael has great ideas for color, so take the time to hear him out during the consult, it's worth it in the end.

The whole crew was very punctual and pleasant and take great pride in their work. Thank you so much, we'll be calling back soon for the next part as soon as we're ready!

Stephanie on Painting By Michael

I was very impressed with the level of customer service that Michael and his team provided. Michael came to our home the same day I called the office to inquire about painting project. He assessed the areas to be painted and quickly got the ball rolling. I had such a fun time talking about paint colors and getting to know Michael. He is very knowledgeable and certainly an expert at his job. He is also a sweetheart and has quite the personality! The whole team did a amazing job and we are very pleased with the finished areas. We were also very impressed with how they repaired several very ugly stress cracks above doors, absolutely flawless work. 100% recommend!
