Kurt and Paul:
I wanted to thank you for coming out to my home and doing a superb job on the painting. I didn’t find one spot anywhere on the hardwood or carpets, and the colors look great! The amount of time you took to prep my home to make sure no paint would get on any of the floor or fixtures is greatly appreciated! I would definitely refer you to a friend if I hear of anyone who needs paint work done.

Thanks

Kurt and Paul and their team did any outstanding job painting the vaulted ceilings and all the walls in our living room, dining room and kitchen. They were very professional. Their prep and cleanup were outstanding.

Repainting of kitchen, two bath rooms and utility room. But most difficult, and beautiful, job was refinishing 18 window casings and a wall…all solid cedar and dating from 1971. Color match was difficult as was finish match but we are VERY pleased with the results. The interior painting of the baths, kitchen, etc., is very good also, though it is exactly what you’d expect from a professional painting company.

Painter showed up promptly as promised to do estimate. Very professional yet friendly approach. When the job was authorized the crews showed up when and where promised and caused the minimum possible disruption to our household. There was no “over spray” or “paint splash” on surfaces not involved in the work, including our newly-installed floor coverings. They also re-finished all of our kitchen cabinets. They did an excellent job on that, too. A Fresh Coat will certainly be our first choice for future painting projects, especially any further restoration of our cedar interior walls.

All worked out very well Paul, You and your crew did a great job. I think that it came out super.

Paul and team transformed my old khaki colored house into a beautiful home! I couldn’t believe all the hard work they did to make this old house look like new again.

Excellent quality, very professional, excellent
attention to detail.

I will definitely be recommending A Fresh Coat to my friends and family and would not hesitate to hire them again.

We had to have a lot of remodeling work done after a water incident in our home, and by the time we were ready for painters we had dealt with more than half a dozen contractors. I have to say that only one of those jobs went without some type of glitch or problem, and we were very weary of having work done in our home that was not done well and then having to deal with getting it fixed or done over. In fact, when I met Kurt, we had just had a different painter spill primer on our newly refinished hardwood floors and then leave the job ($525 later with almost nothing to show for it). So after Kurt was so highly recommended by a neighbor, and after talking to probably 10 different painters, we decided to hire them–they were a little more money than some of the others, but ultimately I decided it was worth it to have the peace of mind that everything would be done well and go smoothly. They not only did a great job but exceeded my expectations (which, believe me, is hard to do!). I’m very picky about details, and Chris (who did the actual painting) was actually as meticulous and careful as I try to be–going back over their work before leaving to make sure all the edges and lines were clean and perfect. This kind of careful work and attention to detail is not easy to find! They also thoroughly covered and tented off everything so that our home stayed as clean and free from dust as possible, which was important for me with 5 kids around. And each night they vacuumed and cleaned up their work, which was also very impressive. Furthermore, they sprayed, instead of brushed, the two windows I told them would be okay to brush because they wanted to make sure everything looked nice when they were done.

If you want painters who will arrive on time, stand behind their work, be very easy to have around, and do an incredible job–hire A Fresh Coat! They will be worth every penny. 

We own an older house with a few rooms of plaster walls and ceilings. The walls had cracks from a previous skim coat but the ceilings were terrible with numerous cracks and flaws and a pebbly finish. These guys showed up on time every day, provided a scrim mesh over the entire ceiling and then mudded over the scrim. They also addressed the cracks in the walls. The results were spectacular. Perfectly smooth walls and ceilings – no cheating with spray texture. The paint lines were straight and the edges on the trim around the door frames, base board and crown molding are clean and straight. Being an architect, one can be particular but I could not find a punch list item. They left the rooms cleaner than when they arrived. I recommend A Fresh Coat Painting highly.

From first email contact, to dealing with Paul on the estimate, and then working with Kurt through the scheduling and final finishing on the job I couldn’t be happier. The dedication and high level of expectation they have met my own standards… which I can’t say for most of the other contractors we’ve used in the past! Responses were timely and quick, and the fact that the two people I talked with actually were at the job and WORKING on it was exceptional. They have great customer service… Kurt even worked by himself to correct the one accent wall in the family room that wasn’t quite meeting the swatch he had shared with me. He really did go above what I expected from a contractor, and without complaint AND with a smile — that really made me a life long customer for all future paint needs.  Kurt provided interior painting which included two specialty finishes for most of the entire home – living room, dining room, kitchen, all hallways, family room, two accent walls in 2 bedrooms. The specialty walls are fabulous! I am especially fond of the plaster technique that incorporated two colors – Wow.

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!

Kurt and Paul were both a pleasure to work with. They are attentive and responsive to customers’ wants. They are ready to offer helpful suggestions if asked, but are always willing to do things your way. They show up on time every day, take extreme care not to damage or soil other surfaces, and always leave your home uncluttered and clean at the end of the day. What more can you ask? It’s pretty easy to tell when someone likes his job and when he doesn’t. Paul and Kurt both appear to really enjoy what they do, especially if you give them something challenging or a little out of the ordinary. In our case we asked for accent walls in two rooms, which involved a lot of intricate cut lines between the colors, and the Venetian plaster application in the salon. When the project was finished, it was clear that they both looked at their efforts with pride – and we are just as happy with the results. We would not hesitate to recommend A Fresh Coat to anyone for any sort of painting job.   

I received a prompt quote from these people, and agreed to proceed with the job. When the cleaning of the house was started, all plants were carefully covered and cleanup was complete. After the primer was applied they advised that the siding should have a special, thicker paint to protect it against deterioration. I agreed even though the cost was a bit higher. The job was completed as agreed, and to date looks excellent. I have had compliments from neighbors on the paint job.

Perfect – would recommend to anyone.

You guys have done a wonderful job… We couldn’t be happier.

Did a fantastic job… very helpful in all aspects.

Kurt and his team (Chris, Ethan, Noel) were fantastic! They transformed our 100 year old craftsman.

From the first site visit to the final walk through, they were professional, conscientious, proactive and meticulous.

The project involved skim coating walls and ceilings smooth and painting. It sounds like a simple project but for an old house that was slightly neglected by the previous owner, it was no easy task.

Kurt and team did not take any shortcuts.

They used mesh tape for the skim coat which makes the final product that much more sturdy. And, it also keeps the integrity of the house.

For the painting, they sanded and scrapped all the trim and woodwork so the new coat would adhere properly (as opposed to light sanding). They trim is sooo smooth now that I can’t stop touching it.

Our floor contractor walked into the house after not seeing it for awhile and was stunned! He called it perfection!

I would highly recommend A Fresh Coat Painting!

“These guys are fantastic…I just need more walls to be able to work with them again!! “

We really enjoyed them, they did a really good job. They painted two of our houses.

Paul and his team did an outstanding job. We had some mysterious mold pop up in one of our bathroom walls, and a colleague recommended we have Paul come check it out. He fit us in on short notice in the middle of the holiday season, quickly diagnosed the problem, and offered a flexible and reasonable quote that included stopping the mold at its source and freshening up the whole bath and shower area. He and his staff were friendly and professional throughout, and their commitment to quality and professionalism showed in both their words and their work. In addition to making everything look like new, finishing early and on staying on budget, he even helped with a few touch ups in another room at no extra cost. I highly recommend his services and will be sure to call him first for our next project.

Excellent Job–Efficient, Cleaned everything up, excellent painting.

Moving 3000 miles is never easy and having to manage long distance before the move can be overwhelming. Having Paul and Kurt made it amazingly pleasant! They not only met my expectations but went way beyond. They emailed or called and kept me updated with pics online. Furniture arrived early and they accommodated me with the mess and all. They are great! They are doing my exterior in the spring and I’m so looking forward to actually meeting all of them in person!!! A plus.

A Fresh Coat Painting is simply the BEST! They transformed our 1930’s home into a sparkling beauty. The crew works so well together and their attention to detail is amazing. We are super satisfied with their impeccable quality, timely communication and friendly service. If you want long-lasting results from easy-to-work-with painters, this is the team you can rely on!

They did a wonderful job. Good communication from start to finish. Started on time. On the second day, we figured out that one of the rooms was darker than we would have liked (our fault, not theirs) and ask them to repaint the work they had already done to a different color. They were very courteous about the whole thing and finished everything to our liking.

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.

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!

Chris and your team did a great job on our house. A very professional crew. I appreciate their attention to detail and their care of our house.   The house looks great.

Thank you again.

Paul and Kurt
The kitchen looks amazing. Thank you so much. It is even more than I expected. Im so very pleased. The realtor is so impressed! Im holding onto your card. Hopefully I can call you again in the future for projects on our new house (when we find one) Cheers!

I love the new colors.  Thanks for your fine painting skills!

“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.”

That guy Charles, or Chuck who works for them is an amazing painter, willing to go the extra mile to meet our needs/wants.
Thanks again for everything.
Highly recommended

Great service — timely, attention to detail. Responded quickly to requested bid and had a competitive bid.  With the assistance of a colorist, color selections and variety flows well room-to-room in open space design. Helped us accessorize.

Great! Kurt was friendly, on time, and did a great job. We definitely recommend their high quality work.

Kurt and Paul were wonderful to work with. We were two days late in starting our project due to an extended close, and even so, they were extremely patient and accommodating. Kurt and Paul arrived early each working day – and were a pleasure to have around. They were so neat and tidy and cleaned up at the end of each day. Even when our 4 year old added his personal touch with an old broom and leftover paint, Kurt and Paul remedied the situation with a chuckle and a smile. We missed them when they finished the job! We plan on having them do our exterior as soon as possible. We HIGHLY recommend ”A Fresh Coat” for all you painting needs.

Absolutely fantastic job!

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.

Fresh Coat just finished painting the exterior of my home. I couldn’t be more pleased. Kurt and Paul were great to work with. Their time and cost estimates were accurate. The crew was courteous, professional and showed great teamwork in getting the job done. I wouldn’t hesitate a second to use their services again.

Prep and paint walls, ceilings, some closets, doors and trim in approx.1000 sq ft. of living area including living/dining/ master, foyer, bath and office. Prior to painting all big furniture and floors were covered. All the trim had to be extensively sanded to remove old brush and roller marks. All trim, including casement window frames and french doors, were masked and spray painted with several coats of semi gloss. Price included Divine paint on the ceilings and Benjamin-Moor on walls.

My wife and I and our two Bernese Mountain dogs moved downstairs for the 10 day process. The sanding was extensive but the painters vacuumed it up daily. Yes there was a fine coating of dust everywhere but that has been cleaned up now. The owners Kurt and Paul were here much of the time and Chris and another helper were the rest of the crew. The painters removed and successfully replaced all window, drape and door hardware to facilitate painting. The paint was “green” so odors from that were minimal. At the end the crew spent nearly two days finishing up, replacing all the furniture and cleaning everything. We have lived in the newly painted area for several days now and have not found any omissions or anything but impeccable workmanship.

Impeccable service with a smile and a perfect finished product. Their attention to the smallest detail worked smoothly into my perfectionist expectations. One can’t ask for more than that. Look forward to future projects.

A Fresh Coat Painting has been one of our primary painting contractors for many years. We appreciate their professionalism, communications, site management and finest of quality in the final product. We highly recommend this company.

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.

Paul and Kurt

Hello Kurt, Paul, Chris, Noel, Maria, Javier and the rest of the crew.

No word can describe the depth of our appreciation for the quality of work that you have done in our home . This was a two months project and you transformed our house to a place to call it home and you did it in a professional manner .

Every day the crew were on time , working hard until the end of the day , paying attention to the details , taking time to listen to what we wanted and be patient and courteous . Quality material , superior painting , masterful wood staining and again attention to details , these are the qualities that are so hard to find in today’s business environment and for all you have done for us MANY MANY THANKS.

There is not a day goes by that we look around and don’t appreciate the result . The combination of a wise and strong leadership and quality workers are making this company our painting company. (we wish we had more walls to be painted by you )

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL……
WISHING YOU THE BEST !

REGARDS

Paul and company pressure washed, then, a week or so later (delayed by the ONLY rain that we’ve had this summer!) painted the “flats” on our decks.  We have miles of decks and they painted the top of the rails, the top of the banisters, and the walking surfaces of all involved.  These are the surfaces that get the most abuse and fail the quickest.  They painted the whole thing (all sides, etc.) four years ago and this was just a “touch up” to keep the wear surfaces looking like the rest.

The pressure wash went as planned then, OF COURSE, it rained the night before the paint/stain was to be applied.  Paul and we agreed upon an “alternate date” and all rest off as scheduled.   Outside of the pressure wash, the whole job took about half a day.  All was great except two paint drips on one stair (small potatoes given the size of the job!).

What can I say? They come almost to the minute of when they promise. They have all of the tools and techniques that one could ask. They are nuts for preparation (the KEY to successful finish work…ask anyone who really knows!). They are pleasant and easy to work with. And they are really nice people! They have been here four times so far and we’ll have them back anytime we need painting or finishing services!

A Fresh Coat has done some fairly big jobs for us before, and this was the first "little, interior-only job.Done perfectly! The job was to repair cat scratches in window sills, dings and dents in cedar walls, refinish the insides of our double front doors, and finish a repaired section of our cathedral, cedar, ceiling. Color matching of the original stains (from 1972) was critical, and perfect!How happy were we? We’ve contracted A Fresh Coat to do a whole-house exterior job next summer.

Working with A Fresh Coat Painting was a fantastic experience. During the bid process, they were extremely helpful and even helped us finalize our color choices. Our job was quite extensive — we wanted to use over ten colors total for three bedrooms, a den, a living room, a dining room/kitchen, and a half bath. Every room was painted in a two-tone scheme. It was a huge job that took just over a week, but they were extremely efficient and made sure our home was livable during the job. They paid extreme attention to detail during the prep and painting portions of the job. The job was finished on time, on budget, and our home was left cleaner than it was before the job. The interior of our townhome looks fantastic — better than we ever could have imagined. We would not hesitate to recommend A Fresh Coat Painting.

When it came time to paint our home my husband and I set out to find the best painters out there to entrust our home to. We got several bids from painters and decided on A fresh Coat Painting for several reasons. The first thing that impressed us was their web-sites before and after pictures of jobs they had done. Then reading all of the testimonials from previous customers was amazing.

When called for an estimate Paul showed up on time and was very professional. He handed us pages of people he had done work for so we could see the kind of work they do. Paul walked around the house with us and took notes. Later he gave us the estimate and we looked it over thoroughly . The Prep work he stated would be done on our home sold us. Attention to every detail in caulking, priming, nailing in nails that have pop out, sanding, use of drop cloths to protect your property. Right down to using only the finest paints in the industry made for the Northwest and our climate. Using multiple coats of paint, spraying, rolling and brushing on the surface. So our decision was made to use Paul, Kurt and their crew.

The prep work started first, pressure washing the house and letting it dry. Returning to do the caulking priming sanding ,nailing etc. Then the fun started, Paul himself painted the three shingled accent peaks with a color that brought out the color of the brick on the front of our house. We used four colors on our home and they all worked so well together. The grand finale was the detail their head painter did on our front door and side panels. It was a work of art and turned out so beautiful. Hours were spent on making the entry door Pop and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

So if you are looking for good house painters A Fresh Coat Painting is the way to go. Everyone in these testimonials have done the leg work for you. So give them a call, we trusted them with our biggest investment, our home and we are so pleased we did.

Thanks Paul, Kurt and crew, we appreciate everything you did to transform our home.

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!

Kurt is a true artist whose love for his work is manifest in the results. Using Venetian plaster he meticulously transformed our 1950s pink-tiled bathroom walls into an textured sandy oasis. Kurt was very cooperative regarding an unexpected delay (involving a challenging bathtub installation) and he managed to maintain a clean workspace throughout the plastering process. We are so impressed with Kurt and love our new bathroom. A Fresh Coat Painting comes highly recommended and we will definitely use them again! Many thanks!

In 2010 they painted the exterior of our house; they did such a great job that we recently hired them again to do the interior . Again they excelled. Courteous, prompt, on schedule, and professional. My 1926 house looks new! Thank you

Painted a small bedroom. The painter did an excellent job. He was here exactly on time with his supervisor, who made sure my wishes were clear. The painter went right to work, and six hours later, the job was done to perfection!

You and your company did a fantastic job on our house.  The painters were very courteous, helpful, and polite.  The house, each day when work ended, was cleaned up and left in great shape.  The work done was very professional and high quality.  Thank you!!

A Fresh Coat kept in touch so that we knew when to expect work to begin, actually starting four days ahead of schedule. Painters worked around rainy weather expertly, focusing on covered areas when weather was disagreeable, and on exposed areas during fair days. They were thorough in prep work (sanding & priming) as well as final coat, and also discovered rotting wood at base of support posts (which was repaired before painting). The total result is that all newly-painted areas no longer appear as 15 year old material. Painters had great positive attitudes and seemed to enjoy their work. We could not be more pleased!!!

Hi Kurt,
We really love the finished work-a fantastic job!
Hope you have a good weekend as well.

We were very impressed with the service from A Fresh Coat. when we moved into a new house they repainted the majority of the interior for us, including a large entry with high ceilings. Recently we had them back to repaint two individual rooms we hadn’t done before. Kurt and Paul are prompt, courteous, and respectful. They responded quickly for the bid and gave a clearly written proposal. There were no surprise charges. They took care to keep our house clean and tidy. They helped sort through all of the old paint left by the previous owners and hauled away what we didn’t need. They left a touch-up kit with clearly labeled paint with all of the new colors we had chosen. We plan to use A Fresh Coat for all of our future painting needs!

We have used A Fresh Coat Painting for multiple interior and exterior painting jobs.

They are always professional and respectful of your home and space. Communication is prompt and courteous. They have meticulous attention to detail–no stray paint or missed spots, everything always looks perfect! We plan to use them for all of our painting needs in the future.

Painted a laundry room that is being remodeled. The nature of the room required a lot of edging and care. They were outstanding. We added a little to the job, and they jumped right in with efficiency, were helpful with suggestions, and professional in the best sense of the word.

They are always on time and on budget. They are respectful of our house. They take pride in their work. We don’t bother to shop around for painting services anymore.

The most recent work was doing the painting for the remodel of our kitchen. This included touching up the caulking of the trim boards due to the age of the house. Other work in the past has included painting the exterior of our large Tudor style house and interior painting of other rooms. One unique effort was painting a new door on our garden shed. We wanted a dated look and Kurt did an excellent job with the base color and the artistic touch up to create the look we wanted. Perfect!!

Kurt and his team did terrific work painting the exterior of my home. I was extremely pleased with the extensive prep work, the quality of the products used, and the meticulous attention to detail. I particularly appreciate the care taken with my plants. Kurt was great about communicating with me, and the work was done AHEAD of schedule! Kurt cares about the quality of the work and doesn’t cut corners. And he’s a super nice guy to boot! A+ to Fresh Coat!!

Best wishes to you for the rest of your summer

Variety of painting jobs – ceilings, repairs, blemishes, railings, wall painting, bathroom ceiling. Considering the amount of work, VERY reasonably priced. Very fast and meticulous. They promise to leave the place as neat as it was or cleaner, and the do!!! Everything went back in place in no time, everything was spotless. The quality of painting was impeccable. Will use them again for sure!

Kurt and Paul,
I want to thank both of you as well as your crew for a job well done. Kurt’s suggestions for the paint scheme look great ! Your crew was professional and the property has no evidence that you were here (except for the awesome paint job!) .

Thanks again,

We have used these guys for many years now and have NEVER been disappointed. We used to get multiple bids and they were always competitive on price. Their commitment to completing the work as quickly as possible and their high quality standards has always been fantastic. These days we just call them up, have them look the job over, give is a quote and away we go. It’s really nice to have a company you can trust so completely to do high quality at a reasonable price.

I am so happy with the job Fresh Coat did painting our house exterior last summer.  It went from peeling old gray paint, to a lovely sage green with white trim.  My husband says its like we’ve “raised the house from the dead”.  With the high quality materials Kurt and Paul insisted on, and the care he and his team took every step of the way, we most likely won’t have to paint it again for many, many years. I highly recommend these guys to anyone who has an old house that has some issues, or any house for that matter.  These guys have old fashioned business values:  attention to detail, insistence on quality and communicating with the customer daily.  They are truly a rarity.

Thank you Kurt. Very professional mode you guys operate under. Very.
I love it.

These guys were great to work with. They
responded to my initial request promptly.
They were on time, clean and did a great job.

I was very happy with them. They were just great. They did a great job and people are coming and asking me who I used. It is just a very nice job. I did not have any issues with the service. The price was a little high, but for the work that I got and I did have a special paint, the price is A.

Kurt and company repainted our 1908 house after the removal of aluminum siding from the 1970s. The job included pulling staples, removing some siding, and filling countless holes.  This company exemplifies excellent customer service. Kurt was always available, remembered to do what we asked, and thoroughly addressed all of our needs. They even touched areas of the house that were not within the original bid. The caulking was neat, and they back-brushed in the paint while still leaving air gaps for the siding to breathe. The house has lead paint on the outside, and they picked up 99% of the paint chips they created. Our yard is a jungle, and they were also relatively careful with our plants.

Although I did not end up using this company, purely because our dates didn’t quite match up, this company was very patient, and tried really hard to make it work for me. Their bid was competitive, and I definitely got the sense that each customer receives personal service and care. They were thorough with follow-up, great communicators, and are actively growing their company. I think Kurt would be a pleasure to work with and would ensure that the job was done correctly. Their bid was also very complete, with the level of detail needed to ensure that everyone knew what the job was to be.

I cannot say enough about the wonderful job you did painting my whole downstairs, ceilings and walls!! I just love the color and how it opens everything up. The help you gave with the color suggestions were very helpful. I am so happy the way the wood turned out after sanding and staining it. You would never know there had been a water leak. Your painting crew is fantastic. I am a real stickler when it come to punctuality and everyday Chris and the two other guys were here right on time. They are terrific guys to work with and go above and beyond to do outstanding work. They even threw in painting my fireplace so that the total look would be complete. They put all the furniture back in the right place and cleaned up everything so you wouldn’t even know they had been there. Kudos for all you you! Your are fantastic!

Thank you all

The project completely met all of our expectations. All walls and ceiling surfaces received two coats of paint. All of the corners and intersections were hand-brushed. Nail pops were fixed. The project required a great deal of edge taping. Our hardwood floors were protected and furniture was covered in plastic sheeting. The project required 2 1/2 days of hard work, all executed cheerfully.

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.

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.

I opened my new business 3 years ago and have used this company several times. I needed quite a lot of work done. They were prompt and efficient.

We needed the interior of our condo painted but were new to the area and didn’t know any painters. The paint store recommended A Fresh Coat as a company doing quality work. And were they ever right!From color consultations to the faux finish on one wall, the work was superb. Not one splatter to clean up, nice guys who were a pleasure to have in our home and true craftsmanship. Thank you so much Kurt, Paul and your crew. We love our “new” home.

Hello, to you and your crew.  Thanks you SSSSOOOO much for helping me and my home look fresh and so vibrant.   From Estimate day to and through painting day to Thank you (s) and Good By (s) day, I could not be more pleased. I am happy to refer the work by  f your Company and crew to any of my friends and neighbors.

I also wanted to take a minute to let you know what a great job you and your staff did on our house. Everything looks fantastic and we really appreciate the extra things that you did for us that weren’t even part of the original job. All of our neighbors have commented on how great the place looks and, most off all, how impressed they all are (as am I) that the entire job was done by hand, with a brush, and not with a sprayer filled with cheap paint. Manny was such a hard worker and he put so much effort into every little detail; it really shows in the final product. Not only do I know who to call for any future paint jobs, but everyone else I know will be sure to have your information as well. Thanks again for everything!

Our 1938 home was last painted more than 12 years ago, so it needed a careful work-over. Constructed of 3/4 cedar planking, it could best be described as an “Aging Beauty” with many ‘freckles’ of raw wood coming thru the paint. Meaning some places required extensive sanding and repairs to the wood surface before new primer could be applied. It was not yet a restoration project, but I would say we were 1-2 years overdue.  Company Owner Kirk came to the house and power washed the exterior himself, a process that enabled him to get familiar with the home and its challenges. Next he worked with my wife and I to select colors for the siding, trim, front door and shutters. The 3 of us looked at other homes in our area with newer paint jobs, as Kirk pointed out their flaws and attributes. He was patient, thorough, and a good arbiter of minor differences between H & W. Kirk helped us choose colors that were different from the prior scheme, yet consistent with our trees and flowering shrubs. The Fresh Coat Painting crew arrived on time and went about their work briskly. Our home required substantial sanding and preparation, along with two coats of primer. They were respectful of our tenant and waited until mid-morning to turn on radios. Working hours for July (it was HOT !) were from 7:30 to about 3:45 each day. Several workers had been with the company more than five years, a good sign of job stability and commitment to craftsmanship. After talking with several crew members, it was obvious they were trained to spot causes of paint failure, such as uneven drying, moisture or oils in the wood, and ‘bubbling’ caused by too much (or sudden) exposure to full sun.  A homeowner should realize that in today’s world, painters spray product onto the surface wherever possible. In a few areas, brush work is still done [doors, railings for decks, window sills].  I was not prepared for this ‘fact of life’ that technology allows, coming from an ‘Old School’ approach. It seems that today we must accept the fact that 98% of your home’s exterior is ‘painted’ by power machines, not by hand. That said, spray painting allows for multiple coats to be applied more quickly than by brush.  Two times Kurt or the crew made me aware of ‘extra’ features that were not part of my original bid. One involved painting the underside of a 2nd story deck; another was the surface of a 40 sq.ft brick entryway to the front door.  Each ‘add on’ to the scope was presented with adequate information to make a decision. I never felt ‘hustled’ or hurried to consider their requests. The prices as quoted were reasonable. Crews were led by savvy, practical men who knew their trade and how to respond to my questions. A Fresh Coat uses Miller Paints, which are not cheap. But I didn’t want a short term result, either.  Overall I was pleased with the job done by A Fresh Coat Painting, LLC. They gave me a firm start date and stuck with it. The owners responded to telephone calls during the job, and the crews cleaned up well afterward. Owners Kurt and Paul are pros in every sense of the word and train their workers to a high standard. Their prices are not the lowest in town, but I believe I got superior service along the way. I would highly recommend them, especially if your home is older or in need of a major paint job.

Hi Paul and Kurt, we got back last night and the house and deck look beautiful. Great job!!!! Very happy.  Have a great weekend.

Thank you to Kurt, Paul, Chris and the rest of the crew for the awesome job you did painting our house! The finished project looks awesome. I’m sorry for my initial concern about the color we chose. You all were right and once the trim and shutters were painted, it all came together perfectly. Thanks again!

A Fresh Coat Painting did our home office in Venetian plaster and the results are striking. Such a beautiful job and they were great in taking time to help us define what we wanted and then doing such a professional job. I would highly recommend them.

We’er very pleased with the entry. Thanks for a great job.

It’s so nice to work with a company that gives you ideas, does the work on time, is very professional, and exceeds your expectations. Their work was superior and when they left everything was all put back together.  

I am in the process of selling my home and needed to have multiple rooms of wallpaper removed and some walls repainted. The fact that it took only two days to complete the entire job was a miracle in and of itself. The two man crew worked non-stop throughout the project. The quality of the work was great. I am very happy with the results and so is my realtor. Thanks again for a fantastic job!

They CAME on time (in Oregon this is a weather issue with outside jobs they brought good weather!!) They are polite to a fault we don’t mind leaving your home open to them! They do WONDERFUL work….they are very good at matching colors, etc. They CLEAN UP…hardly know that they were there when they are done, except for the lovely work that they do!  Don’t expect them to be cheap! If want cheap, go somewhere else. If you want a very good job, at a fair price, hire these folks! Oh the question (above) would you hire this company again?….YEP, this is the second time we’ve used them and we are already in progress for the next time! Matched and stained interior and exterior open grain cedar, birch plywood, and window trim to match existing interior and exterior trim and siding on a rather large window-replacement project. DO hire these guys! Don’t “not hire” these guys. They are very good, and personable, to boot!

Paul was kind enough to donate some leftover paint for a project at my son’s school. Thank you so much for your generosity!

 Hi Paul,

Before the year’s over I’d like to send this note to you.
My mother is absolutely thrilled with the painting you did last month for her. The entry hall, living room, hall and kitchen are beautiful, and the kitchen cabinets couldn’t be more perfect. My family and I were impressed with your professionalism, precise prep work, and the meticulous paint job…and we still can hardly believe the zippered little room you set up in the garage….how cool was that?

Thank you again for fantastic work and the great care you took of my mother’s home. Referrals will go your way!

Merry Christmas and wishes for a busy, successful and Happy New Year!

Because I was new to Portland I had some difficulty knowing who to hire for the painting of my newly purchased downtown Portland condo. My good fortune was finding A Fresh Coat Painting and meeting Kurt Deppisch. I soon discovered that Kurt and Paul, the owners of this painting business are not only painters, they are artists. Kurt is willing to follow directions and he is eager to please but when he is given the option of coming up with creative ideas the results have been amazing. After the completion of painting the entire condo interior, with accent colors, Kurt has used a trowel to create a concrete faux stone finish over the balcony floors and he has trimmed both with decorative tile. It has been an affordable and attractive change and everyone who sees them, offers compliments and asks for his business card. This is a business that is dedicated to customer satisfaction. I am presently planning to redecorate another condo and we have already discussed new creative painting options.

Kurt, The paint job looks great! Even before you were finished I received two calls from neighbors saying how nice it looked. And the quality of the work looks excellent, thanks.

Kurt, Paul and their crew were great to work with from start to finish. They were thorough, stayed on time and on budget, and were always pleasant. We highly recommend them. They did a great job.

They were fantastic. Professional, clean, did a great
job and were plain nice. Price was very reasonable.
Would use them again.

Hey Paul & Kurt–
I wanted to say that the house looks great. Charlene and I are really happy with it and appreciate not only how professional your crew was, but also how skilled. Please pass along our thanks to them.
Thanks again.

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.

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.

Excellent work with an attention to detail.

Hello Kurt, Thank you again to you and to the painting crew! Our experience was so very positive because you all are professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, skillful, quick and tidy. Customer service is the best–you were seriously interested in hearing and in responding helpfully to your customer’s, to our issues, concerns and needs.

You heard my concerns about our painting project quirks and worked with those concerns to give us a top quality, well-protected, quite lovely “new” house. The house looks so different now. We love it! Chris and the other guys on the crew really worked well together; every day each one knew his role for the day and performed it well.

They were tidy always–while they were working, at the end of each day, and at the end of the job. You can feel well-satisfied with their work. We certainly are. Best regards with much appreciation,

They are great. They are on time and professional. I was very happy with them.

Thanks Kurt and Paul,

I had Fresh Coat repair a very large ceiling crack in a hallway as well as small cracks and nail plugs on a MBR ceiling. Also, an outside door molding was painted as well as a fence. I cannot say enough about the professional job, outside of my expectations. They were very, knowledgeable, neat, and prompt. OUTSTANDING!

I just wanted to let you, Chris and the crew that worked on the kitchen know, that they exceeded my expectations!!! My kitchen is totally transformed!!! The crew put the furniture back in place and cleaned up the downstairs area, I have NEVER in all my years of having work done on this house and previous houses, had a crew leave my house so tidy!!! I can’t wait to start the next phase of painting,it’s been truly refreshing to have such a great experience with this crew and your company!! Please let your crew know, that I truly appreciated all their hard work!!

Thanks, you guys. The house really looks brand new. We appreciate the job you did.

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!

Paul and Kurt at A Fresh Coat Painting have done very good work for us in our Portland Heights Home.

They do amazing work and are an awesome team!

I hired this company to paint several rooms and refinish some cabinets. First-rate work, both in planning and execution. They finished ahead of time and left everything very clean.

Our house was overdue for repainting – the existing paint was faded and peeling, down to bare wood in places.A Fresh Coat Painting was great – they extensively prep-ed and primed the areas that needed attention and did a beautiful job on the actual painting. They were great to work with as well – very nice guys and easy to communicate with. On top of this, they didn’t exceed their quoted price and finished up within their estimated time limit. The work is fully guaranteed for the next five years. We were really impressed – thanks Kurt and Paul!

Hi Paul and Kurt;

Andrea and I were both out of town working. You guys did a fantastic job. We are both extremely happy with your professionalism and the quality of work. Your employees were great to work with as well. Andrea is preparing a check as I write this. I will have Andrea write the testimonials, as she is a PR and communications specialist by trade. Can’t get better than that guys!!

They did a really good job, They were fast and efficient, and kept in touch with me for schedule availability so they could get me done quickly.

I needed a medium sized bathroom vanity painted (sprayed) in place. The vanity had previously been painted with oil based paint and had discolored over the years. I wanted to switch over to latex paint which would be easier to maintain in the future. Making the switch from oil to latex needs a little extra work. I asked them to be careful with their spraying as I had just repainted the bathroom and had new granite countertops installed. Member Comments: “All-around fantastic” would be the best descriptor for the service and work I received from Kurt Deppisch. The other painters that I contacted really didn’t want this small job (understandable), but Kurt approached it with as much professionalism as a larger job. His masking and painting was quick and thorough so as to minimize the inconvenience and mess for me. Kurt was even flexible enough to allow me to do extra trim work on the vanity halfway through his job (I had mentioned before he started that I would have loved to add some trim work had I had more time). He was very kind, easy-going (without being a slacker), and very helpful with all of my questions and concerns. I simply can’t imagine an easier person to work with. I will have Kurt back in a heartbeat to do more painting for me in the future. I wish that more craftspeople took his approach to their work. Oh, and the painted vanity came out perfect. Thanks a ton, Kurt!

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,

Hi, Kurt. The rooms look really great. Chris is an artist. I sent a check to you today. Happy Holidays.

My e-mail inquiring whether the company did small jobs like mine was promptly answered by a phone call from Kurt Deppisch, who came equally promptly to estimate the job. Then I really lucked out! Kurt asked whether they could come the day before Thanksgiving because they had time available for a job my size. The whole process from initial inquiry to completion was remarkably swift, another aspect of the job for which I am grateful.

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.

A Fresh Coat Painting painted the exterior of my house and did a great job. After seeing the work they did on my neighbor’s home and hearing from my neighbor how professional they were to work with – I selected them to paint my house.

Kurt and Paul did the Venetian plastering of a long, cathedral-ceilinged wall running from our dining area through the living room. They were punctual, stuck to the budget they quoted us, and took great care with protecting the rugs and furniture. I liked the way they offered us alternative ways of approaching the job and explained the choices clearly while letting us make the final decisions. The results were beautiful, and I would recommend them to anyone  for this kind of wall treatment.

Hello Kurt and Paul, I’m not sure what I expected, but WOW!  The ceiling looks great and it is so nice to not see that gaping hole.  I suppose I really did not think it could look so seamless, but it’s beautiful.  Thanks so much.
Cheers

From first email contact, to dealing with Paul on the estimate, and then working with Kurt through the scheduling and final finishing on the job I couldn’t be happier. The dedication and high level of expectation they have met my own standards — which I can’t say for most of the other contractors we’ve used in the past! Responses were timely and quick, and the fact that the two people I talked with actually were at the job and WORKING on it was exceptional. They have great customer service.Kurt even worked by himself to correct the one accent wall in the family room that wasn’t quite meeting the swatch he had shared with me. He really did go above what I expected from a contractor, and without complaint AND with a smile — that really made me a life long customer for all future paint needs.

Kurt and Paul:  Sherry and I want to thank you and your crew for a really outstanding paint job.  You impressed us from the start because you spotted areas that we were aware of that needed special attention and which others estimating our job never commented on.  True to our first impression, we found your crew to be meticulous, fast and hard working.  We were especially pleased to see the great care you took with out extensive landscape plantings and our many, many windows.  Please feel free to recommend us as a reference for your prospective customers.  We will give Fresh Coat Painting the highest recommendation!

Painters hired by my general contractor, who went out of business. I asked for an upscale job, with attention to detail and sharp edges, and was willing to pay extra for it. My contractors selected Kurt’s team. The price was a bit high, as expected. Kurt was very nice and professional. The quality of the painting was OK – I did specifically ask for the edges to be sharp and not overlapping onto the ceiling or woodwork, but they pretty much all overlapped by a moderate amount – not sloppy, just not the accuracy I had wanted for that specific job (it would have been fine for others).They also painted right over the window tracks, which had to be replaced. But testament to Kurt’s professionalism, he was extremely professional, did not disagree with anything but immediately offered to fix the work and pay for the tracks. Painters returned to fix the edges. They are now a bit closer to the true corner, but still actually overlap a bit, I decided to just let it be. Apart from the edges, the painting looked great. They did excellent prep of the woodwork and nice, even application that is still holding up well today, I like the smooth surfaces. Here’s the amazing part, though. While the general contractor I hired went out of business and stiffed the painters on the job (they didn’t get paid a dime for the work on my house despite my paying the general contractor in full), Kurt was true to his word and still paid for the window track to be replaced! So overall I would say if you want someone who you know you can trust, Kurt is your man. They do a very decent job painting for most applications, and will fix things until they get it to your liking without arguing, which is the most important character for a contractor in my book.

We wanted to extend a very sincere Thank You for the beautiful paint job that you recently completed on our 1908 bungalow.  Our home has been beautifully transformed!  Your staff was courteous, efficient and friendly. When we asked for help choosing an accent color – you gently led us on the right path and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. We will highly recommend your services to anyone we know looking to paint their home.

Sincerely,

Repaired ceiling cracks and painted our living room ceiling and molding. They did an excellent job in all respects. I highly recommend them.

We really appreciate all the great work you have done.  We could not be more happy with it all. Thank you

I wanted to thank your crew you had paint the rooms that were damaged because of some water damage we had. The were the most professional and friendly people I have come across in a very long time. They even offered to help move some of my furniture with me in case they were not able to finish in time, which they did. You don’t see that level of courtesy or helpfulness in the service field much anymore. I cannot say enough about the great job they did. I will recommend your company to anyone that needs painting. Thank you again

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.

They did everything they promised they would do and worked neat and did an excellent job.

It has been three years since we contracted with A Fresh Coat for interior painting of our 1990’s 3,000 sq ft home. I was just thinking of contacting them again as we are ready to move to the next phase of our updates…our garage door needs help!. These guys went above and beyond to get us scheduled in a time that worked for us and our two baby children. We trusted them so much that we had them come in with their scaffolding and gear while we were away at Disneyland! They totally delivered and even touched base every evening with an email progress update. We have 20 foot ceilings that other companies bid out at twice the price…..look forward to working with them again soon.

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. –

Paul gave us the original estimate but we worked primarily with Kurt when the job started. Chris was the lead man of the crew and was responsive to our questions or concerns at all times. They were on time every day and actually finished ahead of schedule. The crew was very professional and cleaned up after themselves each night. We will have them back if and when we need any painting and would recommend them to anyone.

Thanks again for the wonderful job you guys did. Our townhome looks amazing, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the painting.   Thanks

A Fresh Coat Painting, LLC transformed my house! From the biding process through the final walk through, Kurt and the crew were responsive, professional, and performed high quality work. I contracted with A Fresh Coat Painting to paint every wall in my house and they were on time and on budget. Additionally, their technique was flawless! I was please to find ZERO defects with their work. I have and will continue to recommend this company to my family and friends.

Thank you for working with us. You did a super job and we’re very happy with the results.

I hired A Fresh Coat Painting to paint both the interior and exterior of my home. I dealt mainly with Kurt Deppisch, from the bidding process (which Kurt calmly and with no pressure hung in there with me), to scheduling and most importantly ? choosing the colors for my entire house. Kurt is a pretty cool guy who has a great eye for color and is tremendously patient. In the end, he ended up customizing the flow color for the house because I really wasn’t happy with anything else I tried and it turned out perfect. He actually made the process a lot of fun and I really enjoyed working with him. The job itself was run by Chris who did a great job keeping everything on schedule. Chris “Thanks again” for painting that front section of fence so that it didn’t look so bad next to the beautifully painted house and for hanging the shutters. Also, I really liked how you transitioned the three different colors of paint on the archway from the dining area to the kitchen. Kurt kept me informed throughout the entire project as well as checked in with me if anything came up. Something that really helped keep me at ease, while this flurry of activity took place at my house each day, while I was at work. Although I found the process of searching for a contractor as well as having my entire home painted at once stressful, the reaction from my daughter when she saw that her room had been painted in the colors that she originally chose and I had vetoed “Thanks again for that Kurt” made it all absolutely worth it. My home has been completely transformed inside and out I can truly say that I love, love, love how it looks.

Moving 3000 miles is never easy and having to manage long distance before the move can be overwhelming. Having Paul and Kurt made it amazingly pleasant! They not only met my expectations but went way beyond . They emailed or called and kept me updated with pics online. Furniture arrived early and they accommodated me with the mess and all. They are great! They are doing my exterior in the spring and I’m so looking forward to actually meeting all of them in person!!! A plus

Once again Kurt , Paul & staff exceeded our expectations. Our home’s exterior required special attention due to the type of siding involved. Not only were they knowledgeable but they had excellent recommendations that will increase the life of our home. They first power washed all exterior surfaces ,repaired where necessary , primed the surface & painted two coats.. The exterior looks amazing. We also had them restaining our large deck. Once again they went above and beyond our expectations. The deck was sanded to it’s original grain and stained on both the upper and lower (under deck) surfaces. Our deck will survive hosts of Oregon winters. On the works completion, they came to inspect make sure we were happy with the finished product. Paul & Kurt were not only professional in all of their dealings with us but extremely delightful. I will use them in the future and would recommend them to any one considering an interior/exterior paint job.Thanks guys we love your work!!!

I am so pleased with the work done by Kurt and Chris and his crew of four.  Neat and tidy, quietly efficient, appropriately knowledgable and skillful to a man, responsive and considerate of my concerns about the job.  Also friendly–many smiles which brighten any day.  Top quality craftsmanship and customer service are well worth the cost.

Our house, a Portland 4 square style, was built in 2007, but the exterior paint was already worn through in many places and mold was growing in the cracked wood railings.  Knowing the house was in bad shape last summer (2010), I contacted several painting contractors for bids.  By the time I selected A Fresh Coat Painting, it was too late in the summer to schedule the work.  I asked and Kurt agreed that we would be in contact in spring 2011 to schedule the work, which we did.  I chose A Fresh Coat above five other painters not because they were the cheapest but because Kurt, who wrote the bid for me, listened to my concerns, including neighbors and plants, and wrote a work plan that addressed each concern specifically as well as outlined the details of the painting job itself.  Now that the work is done, I am so very pleased.  Most important, the quality of the job is superb. Prep work looked to be quite thorough.  Painters were tidy as they worked throughout the day and clean up each evening and at the end of the job was perfect.  The house was power washed, personally by Kurt, the week before the painting began.  Then on Monday morning, Chris and his crew of four others got right to work.  Throughout the four days, each man worked hard and steadily, with skill and application.  They worked well together, with a superior work ethic.  This teamwork shows in the really high quality product–a job well done!

I plan to have the house power washed in a couple of years to prolong the spiffy look as well as to simply clean away the dust, dirt, and bugs that inevitably collect.  And I will call Kurt to schedule A Fresh Coat Painting do this job as well.

We were so pleased with A Fresh Coat. The crew was punctual, neat, clean, careful with detail and very good at communicating. They painted a kitchen, family room, sunroom and hall. We would have them again in a heartbeat.

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.

Paul and Kurt,
Susan is very pleased.  Thanks for making her day brighter.
You two are sooooooo good. If you need a recommendation, let me know.

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.

It was a pleasure working with you and your personable crew.   They were on time, enthusiastic, accommodating, professional and SOOO tidy (greatly appreciated!)   The paint job was challenging with all the delicate specialty paints and I am thrilled with the results.   I look forward to working with you on “phase two” in my home.   Thank you again 

Dear Kurt and Crew,

Thank you for all your outstanding work! The interior of my home looks fabulous. You've transformed my house into a real show-stopper. The wood work took awhile to sand and paint, and to sand and paint again— but it was totally worth it! Everyone who visits raves about the quality of your work. And just as it says on your web site, you left the job site cleaner than when you started— no film, dust or residue. I was able to move in my stuff the day you finished. Fantastic! I couldn't recommend you more.

Thanks again

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 wanted to tell you again how much I am enjoying the mantle you painted for me. Today it was just stunning! I came home at about 1 pm and the sun was shining through the windows on to the natural wood floor and the reflected light off the floor on to the mantle made the mantle glow all on its own. First I was confused as to where the light was coming from, it was as if someone put a spotlight on just the mantle. Nothing else around it picked up the glow. Wow! I don’t know if that was part of your plan in the painting, but what an amazing effect. Of course, the mantle always looks great. In any light. You did a wonderful job. I am so glad I just turned you lose and let you do your thing, because it came out perfect. It was so great to be able to trust you and not have to supervise. I appreciate your quick response to my anxiety at the end to get it finished. I have enjoyed it all summer and looking forward to a cozy winter by the fireplace. Thanks again for the great “show” you put on.

Thanks, you guys. The building looks really really good ! The next time we need painting… I know who to call.

Kurt sent his estimate for our project in the mail about one week after we initially met. We made some changes via e-mail. We decided to paint the ceilings and go with Devine paint versus a less expensive brand. His estimate to paint the ceiling was very reasonable and his overall price was very fair with the 10% discount to Angie’s list members. There was a slight bit of confusion how they were going to increase their estimate with the Devine low VOC brand but in the end we were not charged extra. The project took one week and we thought it best to stay in a hotel because of our small children. The crew took care of all of the necessary prep work and caulked the proper areas. They used two coats of paint and we were very impressed with their workmanship. We have a curved archway that we used one color of paint on one side and another on the other. A fresh coat painting more than met our expectations. We had hired two other Angie’s list recommended painting companies in the past and we are very glad to have tried this company and we plan on using them in the future! Kurt promptly came back after completion to fix the couple of minor issues we found including repairing a fallen blind.

Complete baseboard to ceiling repaint of our living/dining area. Two coordinated colors used on various walls, plus repaint of the ceiling. The north/south walls went to a blue color, and the east/west walls went to a beige color, plus 15 foot cathedral ceilings. Fixed popped nails, settling-cracks. Lots of corners and junctures where different paint colors intersected, requiring a sharp cut-over.  The project completely met all of our expectations. All walls and ceiling surfaces received two coats of paint. All of the corners and intersections were hand-brushed. Nail pops were fixed. The project required a great deal of edge taping. Our hardwood floors were protected and furniture was covered in plastic sheeting. The project required 2 1/2 days of hard work, all executed cheerfully.

Paul and Kurt have been amazing!
We were particularly concerned about the prep work on our kitchen cabinets and they really did a thorough job with that. Their attention to details and pride in their work was impeccable. With some crews, my husband and I often feel like we’re pulling teeth to get them to see the details. With Paul and Kurt, we felt like they saw all the same things we saw– they made our older woodwork look great before we even needed to ask.

I reached out to 3 painters for quotes and I went with Kurt as he seemed very genuine and professional about his work. Pricing came in about the middle of all 3 quotes and honestly, I chose this company mainly because I just had a good feeling about Kurt. Pure gut instinct and my gut proved to be right. Kurt was extremely punctual in getting back to me when I called and his team arrived on time everyday to perform the job. They were meticulous in the prep work involved with preparing the house for a full exterior paint. They did an amazing job caulking the house, covering areas and cleaning up. The paint work is beautiful and all of the employees that worked on the house were such a pleasure to work with- down to earth yet very professional. I highly recommend a Fresh Coat Painting and I have every intention of hiring them again for interior paint work.

Kurt and his team did a full exterior painting on my 11 year old home. They caulked and painted body and trim of the entire house.
