I really wanted to thank you for the beautiful job you did painting the outside of my house. I really am happy with the way it looks and the attention to detail. It looks better than I ever thought it could! Thank you also for cleaning the window frames and pointing out to me that they did not need painting. It was really helpful and always nice to save some money. I know you did not have to do this and I am really impressed with the integrity of your work and customer service. I have referred you to a couple of my friends and I look forward to having you paint the inside of my home when I need that.

Kurt was prompt in returning my initial call and was able to come do a free estimate within a couple days. The price he quoted was competitive with others that we received. He was flexible with his schedule to accommodate our tight timeline. Throughout the entire process he was very available by both phone and email. His team covered all of our flooring and furniture and left no trace that they were ever here…except the amazing paint job! Kicking myself for not having him do the entire house…will use this company again for sure.

We needed to have upstairs bathroom painted, but then when reviewing some other dissatisfaction with a previous painter’s work, Kurt provided excellent advice and a plan for corrective action that was well within our budget. The upstairs bathroom was in dire need of repainting and required 3 coats to cover and correct the previous poor quality paint job. We had been dissatisfied with our previous choice of color and earlier paint job in the upstairs loft. Kurt was very clear about what needed to be done to correct the situation. The stairwell leading to the loft and the lower hallway were colors that we wanted to change and he suggested options for that. Once agreed upon, he and his partner arrived and were meticulous about ensuring all furniture and carpeting were well protected prior to beginning work. They even covered the flooring and stairs leading into their work area to protect those areas. While the work was being done, we discussed a problem with nicks on the banister in the stairwell. They repainted that for us so it looks like new. All the work was done with high-quality paint and agreed-upon colors. They cleaned up after the painting was done and removed all of the masked areas. The final result is wonderful and we are extremely pleased with the quality of their workmanship and attention to very minute details.
In the past, I have always been reluctant to have someone else do interior painting because no-one has been able to meet my nit-picky, standards.
Fresh Coat exceeded my standard and we are extremely pleased with their work, the cost, and the added comfort to our home.Our next home improvement project was
Excellent! We selected Fresh Coat because of their professionalism, extreme attention to detail and willingness to work around our schedule. The refinish work on our front door is fantastic. They completed sanding, filling, priming, and five coats of spray which resulted in an fantastic finish. We selected them because of their high quality workmanship in past projects. Their work completely met my super-critical demands for perfection.
Our continuing home improvement,
We had just renovated our kitchen and in the process decided with our contractor, that the cabinets were in good shape and only needed some touch up painting. We also wanted to have the walls repainted to freshen the look in the kitchen and give it a new sparkle. We had previously used A FRESH COAT PAINTING, and were extremely pleased with their extreme attention to small details and professional understanding of painting. We had a couple of substantial dings after the removal of the old counter tops. With the installation of the new granite and new appliances, there were some new areas that needed paint. Kurt came out to the house and explained all the options and processes they use with each. We decided that touch up was the best option, along with repainting the kitchen walls. We agreed upon the colors and paint type, and Kurt responded a day later with a proposal with options. Work was started promptly as scheduled and completed as agreed to. I am extremely nit picky about painting, and in the past have done the work myself because I didn’t trust anyone else to the job to my expectation. A FRESH COAT PAINT always exceeds my expectation and while doing the work provides great guidance about maintaining high quality paint finishes. We are always impressed with their final product and extreme attention fine, high-quality workmanship. The cabinets look like new and there is no trace that they were only touched up. These guys are great.

Just wanted to comment on a great job done by a superior crew. I have never experienced a house painting job like this one. Efficiency is the name of this company’s game, impeccably clean, absolutely no paint spills or drops, plus a near noiseless paint compressor. Everything was on time, on budget and with a well-timed sunshiny, blue sky. Wow!

The whole experience was great. From the first phone call through the clean up it was clear that this is a company that is dedicated to customer service and quality. The job was scheduled within the week and completed right on time as promised. The quality was superb and I am extremely pleased with the final outcome. The entryway looks awesome!

I recently had 2 walls of my living room, 2 walls of my dining room, my master bedroom and master bath painted. It was work that could have taken the better part of a week. Due to the rain outside, they sent a crew much earlier than originally planned and did it all beautifully in one day. I awoke the next morning thinking I must have been dreaming that my painting was done. I turned on the light, and no it wasn’t a dream but beautiful new colors to enjoy. I am so very pleased. They worked efficiently and were very professional in their approach. I am very grateful for a job very well done.

I know you already have one testimonial from me, but I can’t help but let you know once again how happy we are with the quality of your work. Your attention to detail, communication, honesty and professionalism are second to none. It’s so refreshing to work with someone who isn’t trying to cut corners or squeeze every last penny out of me. Like I told you last time – if my home needs something done and you’re able to do it, I know exactly who I’ll be calling to get it done. Thanks again for everything. –

“House looks awesome guys! It is very cool how that color changes throughout the home. The homeowner and myself are very satisfied with your work, and very much appreciate you working with us and getting this done in just a few days time.”

Kurt came to the house soon after I called to request an estimate. It looked at the project and told me exactly what the process would be, including all the preparation work and clean up as well as patching nail holes, etc. He gave me a verbal estimate and then emailed a written one within hours. His crew was able to come within 2 weeks and the work was completed in two days. When they left after the first day everything was cleaned up and put away as much as possible and when the work was completed, they left the area spotless. Kurt was very pleasant and professional and the painting crew was the same. It was a total pleasure to do business with them and they did a beautiful job. I would hire them again in a minute!

Pressure-washed, filled, primed and stained our all-cedar home’s entire exterior, including a detached wood shed.
First, this our fifth job from these folks, so we knew what we were getting into. One of the owners, Paul, came a week before the actual work was to be done and pressure washed the exterior of our home so that it would be clean and dry when the “crew” arrived. A week later the crew arrived to fill holes, cracks, etc. and mask windows prior to the actual painting (staining).
We had agreed that we would remove all of the exterior light fittings, electrial box covers, etc., to expedite their work, which we did after the pressure wash.
The job took a little longer than expected, but we didn’t mind. We keep having these guys back because the do excellent work and they are actually fun to have on the property. Both owners…Kurt and Paul…are delightful people to deal with and their crews, in our experience, are professional and pleasant to have around the house.
And, each evening when they are through for the day, they clean up all of their tools and equipment so that we can enjoy our home that evening before they start again the next morning.
They “guarantee” satisfaction and, today, they showed off that promise. In the prior four jobs there had never been a need for a “call back”, but this one was complicated enough by our home’s architecture that a couple of places were missed. Paul was back here in a flash to touch up the missed bits, even though we had already paid for the completed job.
As every time before, we are utterly satisfied with the job done. The price ain’t cheap, but you do get what you paid for!

Kurt came promptly to give an estimate and was easy to work with throughout. The painting team was punctual and seemed to work hard. They cleaned up as well as could be expected after each day’s work. They were even careful to keep our cats out of the work area. We’re very pleased with the paint job, especially the cabinets – they look like new! The job was completed on time. We’ll definitely use A Fresh Coat again.

Hi Paul,
Got a call from Richard while I was work to tell me how fantastic the bathroom looked, his words. Not sure if you know much about the British but they’re not the most complimentary with their adjectives. The fact that he used the word fantastic says it all. Seriously, looks great. Thanks for everything and the updates.Rachael

Chris and his team did a great job for us. We are so pleased with the finished product that we will happily endorse your company and recommend your painting services. Our cabinets look better than the day they were installed and the same goes for the stairs and the rest of the woodwork.
Thanks again.Mary McInnis

Greetings Kurt and Paul,
I visited the Henry condo this weekend and I just wanted to let you know I thought you did a great job painting unit 1318. It looks so much better now.
I appreciate the quality of work and the cleanliness of the unit after the fact. No trace of you left behind other than the remaining paint containers of the colors.
Thank you both.
Best Regards,

Paul and Kurt of A Fresh Coat Painting are the best! After researching painters a friend of ours suggested calling Paul and Kurt because they had recently used them and were very pleased with their work. We gave them a call and were very impressed with the great detail they went into about how they would carefully prime our home before painting and that they always applied two coats of paint. They did an outstanding job and they were an absolute pleasure to do business with. Our house looks amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a top quality paint job.

Paul and Kurt,
Thank you so much for your professionalism and kindness. The house looks great, and we have received many compliments already. It was also so wonderful to know that you were so attentive to detail and to making our house a home. I will most definitely be posting a positive review on your Facebook page and you are welcome to use any testimonials of mine for advertising.
Thank you again, and best of luck in all future endeavors!

I have been in the construction business 37 years, and my wife is an architect, so we are tough customers.
It was so refreshing to have someone live up to their word on quality and schedule without having to watch their every move.
Thank You Fresh Coat for making me a believer again that there are still some who actually take pride in their work.

A co-worker had recommended “A Fresh Coat” to me a few years ago and we used them to do exterior painting on our stucco house. Their quote was prompt and reasonable, and their work was excellent. Neighbors stopped by to tell us that our house looked like new, and it is nearly 80 years old. We recently bought a larger home and had the interior painted. Again, their bid was prompt and reasonable. They worked us into their schedule and finished ahead of time. The quality of their work is excellent as usual. Very neat, clean and great attention to detail. They even dealt with a very troublesome ceiling at no extra charge and fit in some extra drywall repair in the schedule. We are having them come back next year to do paint our deck and siding. I highly recommend them for any painting work.

Friendly, thorough, punctual and skilled. I would trust these guys with all of my painting needs and probably any of the other services that they offer. They provided an accurate and fair estimate, coordinated my appointment professionally, and were fair with their price. I will use these guys again!

I was impressed. The finish lines at the top of each wall were perfect. Those tall 20 foot walls were a bear, but they did a wonderful job getting it done. They worked around my schedule and were able to come to our home before our huge annual holiday party. Our entry-way is show-case quality now. Thank you.
