Real Customer Reviews

From the first phone call, Frank was accommodating and responsive. We wanted the work to be done before moving into our new home, and Franklin Painting made it happen. Frank worked with us on finish options. He drew up a contract and the price remained true (except for the addition of more cabinets in our master bath that we also decided to add to the project list.) His crew arrived on time each day. Greg, Carlos and Donato were polite, professional and meticulous in their work. The prep work was impressive - the entire kitchen was "cocooned" in plastic so not a surface was exposed.They used sprayers (like the automotive type) so the cabinets came out smooth and beautiful. The powder glaze coat was patiently hand applied by Greg on each cabinet. He asked for our approval before applying the finish clear coat. You would never know the cabinets were ever a different finish, it looks natural and original. In the end, not a drop of paint landed where it shouldn't have. The kitchen looks stunning, and we are thrilled. It is a complete transformation of our most lived-in space...it has gone from dark and overbearing to light and spacious. Although an expensive project, we would do it over again in a second. Well worth the money for a completely new look to our kitchen. Thank you, Franklin Painting!

We hired Franklin to paint the exterior of our house, which is covered with original (circa 1953) cedar shakes that were last painted/stained haphazardly by someone immediately before we purchased the house in 2005. I had replaced severely damaged or broken shakes around the house, so there was a base mismatch. Even so, there was a good amount of prep work to do before the first brush of paint could be applied. Frankin power washed the house and then painted the base color and trim.

An entire team tackled my house; from the quote to power washing to color matching and finally to the painting, everything was done in a professional manner. Communication from Franklin was great and the end result is very pleasing. When the painting crew had a technical problem with their sprayer (a hose burst) they were quick and thorough with clean up to the point that if I hadn\'t been home when they were doing the work I wouldn\'t have known there was a problem. They cleaned up the work site every evening and were just great to deal with during the project. They even replaced some damaged shakes I missed during their prep.

Franklin Painting repaired an inside leak to my house as a result of an ice storm in early February 2011 that required drywall, plastering and painting the inside ceiling and walls of my house. Additionally, they made repairs to the deck and performed some outside carpentry work to area above deck that had been damaged as a result of the storm.

Franklin Painting did an excellent job in making all the required repairs. They provided an estimate, worked with my insurance company and the work they did was performed in a timely manner. The quality of workmanship was really outstanding. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

We were very pleased with this company. The entire process was extremely professional with great results. Andy and his associate did all the work, which included patching and some drywall repair, in a prompt and timely fashion. What we really liked were the updates and summaries of what the crew would be working on and finishing on a day by day basis. .Andy checked in with us whenever there was a question about anything, which I consider to be part of the lost practice of Good Customer Service. If you need a color suggestion, you will be in good hands as well. These guys know their business, and get the job done right. Excellent clean up, good care taken when moving your furniture around, no spills, and you can still live in your house comfortably at the end of each work day! Remember, they were working on High ceilings and walls with ladders too.... Any stains or wall dings/dents/holes...gone! Price was right on the money, and Frank made the quote /ob evaluation process painless We WILL be using this company again, no doubt about it. Great Job.

After a very icy winter with heavy snowfall, our family room was left with considerable water damage on the ceiling and wall. Many homes in our area were damaged by winter storms. By spring, home owners were scrambling to find competent contractors to provide reasonable estimates for repairs. Since this was an insurance claim, I had to get approval from my insurance company before any work was begun. The estimate provided by my insurance carrier came in very low and I knew I would would have to make an appeal for additional funds. Frank from Franklin Painting was helpful in working out a settlement with my insurance company so that the repairs could be done properly. Beacuse the family room opens to the kitchen and dining area, the ceilings in those rooms had to be retextured as well. A "popcorn texture" had been originally applied to all the ceilings. My first thought was to re-apply the popcorn texture and I instructed Franklin Painting to do so. However, once I saw the ceiling without the popcorn I immediately changed my mind. I wanted a flat finish for all the ceilings. Greg from Franklin painting was very accomodating with this change order and completed the job without any add-on charges.

I am completely satisfied with the work. The three paint crew members who worked on my house were neat, quiet and quick. Removing popcorn texture from the ceilings is an incredibly messy job. The crew kept the house well protected from all the dust and particles by enclosing the work areas with sheets of plastic. Had this not been done carefully, there could have been a huge mess to clean afterward. Unfortunately, the job ran over a weekend and we were unable to use our kitchen for two days. My suggestion would be to schedule a job like this at the beginning of a week since it was completed in four days. The work that was completed looks great. This is a very professional company.

Had Franklin in to change up some of the colors in my dining room and kitchen. Had a tight deadline as I could only be home for a couple of days to let the painters in. Not only did they meet that deadline, they were done early. CLEAN, quiet, respectful and throughly professional painting crew. Paid a little more than I was expecting to, but am very, very pleased with the results. Will have them back! The estimate process was prompt and efficient; the workers showed up on time to do the job professionally. Not one drop of paint on the floors, and the rooms look great! Thank you Franklin Painting!

Painters came on time. They preped all of the walls, fixed all blemishes and moved furniture Next 2 days painted all areas with 2 coats. I was told 3 days and project was completed on time. Men were very proffessional, kind and curdious.

I had Franklin Painting come into my house to remove old wallpaper, repair walls, and repaint. Frank from Franklin Painting responded to me within 3 hours of requesting an estimate. Based on his estimate I asked him to do the job for me. He was able to schedule a team to come out and do the work about 5 to 6 business days later. The team of Greg and Carlos completed the work in less time than was estimated and did a beautiful job. They cleaned up so well after they were done that even my wife was impressed. I would recommend these guys to anyone.

We had virtually every room in the house repainted. They started with a full day of wall repair, went on to painting the walls and ceilings. They cleaned up even old paint spatters on the woodwork, and supplied,stained and varnished baseboard where it was needed. They showed up when they said they would. They were very conscious of keeping their work area, and the rest of the house, as clean as they could. They do an extraordinary job in very little time.
