I felt so nervous about getting the house painted that it took over 2 years to finally reach out to a company. I thought I had to do a lot of the leg work and prepping and was anxious about choosing colors. Now my only regret is not doing this sooner!
Jennifer thinks of EVERYTHING and had an answer for all my concerns. I immediately felt she was set on leaving the customer with the best job and best experience, and that’s what we got.
COLOR COORDINATOR INCLUDED
Janice is a professional with her own successful business but also works with Jennifer. A game changer because I wanted “bright and colorful” but had no clue on how to tie all the details together. I showed her all my color square and told her what was important to me and she helped me pick bold colors that flowed nicely as you moved from room to room. Priceless.
PREP WORK IMPECCABLE and they did everything.
FRIENDLY / RESPECTFUL: Every single person was friendly, considerate, thoughtful. The project lead always did a touch base and Jennifer stopped by a couple times.
ONE ROOM AT A TIME
They strive to finish any room they start within the same day, including prep work and multiple coats. So, except for that one day, hubby stayed in his office, cars stayed in garage…we did laundry, made food at home, and always had a safe place to keep our cat. Also, they worked with our schedule so we could paint hubby’s office on a day he didn’t have meetings.
MONEY’S WORTH
We got a good and fair price for the work that was done and everything that went in to doing the job right and we expect this paint job to last 10 years. I’m sure we could have gotten the job done for a little less, but at what cost? Shoddy work? Sloppy corners? Damaged furniture? Poor color choices? No thank you.
BULL-NOSED CORNERS and TEXTURED WALLS (ugg!)
Do NOT miss the picture of the kitchen entry leading to the front room…It’s so freaking BEAUTIFUL! All the bull nosed corners they did are PERFECT, and placed in the best spot for that corner. But we were putting a lime green against a deep teal for the kitchen entry and thanks to the team taking the needed care to paint the corners in just the right spot and creating unbelievably straight lines on TEXTURED WALLS…an awkward spot is now a stunning point of interest.
INVESTMENT
Consider choosing colors you love and not colors that impress others or ‘sell well’. You have to live there, it should bring you joy, and the investment is also in your well-being. And when you do sell, the next owners will change it anyway.
BONUS INPUT on EGGSHELL
We chose eggshell for the entire house (except ceilings) because we regularly wipe down dust and scratches, so it’s easy to clean and lasts longer too. Our last walls were mat and any little thing left a mark and the mat walls made the baseboards harder to clean. Mat is absolutely for certain looks, but be sure to think about your lifestyle/family, and how long you hope this paint job will last.
To Jennifer, Janice, and the whole team…
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR OUR LOVELY AND COLORFUL HOME!
