Summary: Started and finished on time, met my expectations, still happy a month later, would use them again. Long story: Years ago we had a bad experience with a paint job by a different painter. We didn't pay a lot, and we got what we paid for. The painters were rude, they left paint chips in our yard and flower beds, they took forever to finish the job, and the paint started to peel not long after - evidence of poor prep. This time around we decided we wanted a quality paint job, and were willing to pay for it. We solicited local painter recommendations from several friends we trust, that we know have high standards. I went through the process of getting bids from two different painters. Both were very polite and walked through similar questions about what we were looking for. I had confidence either painter would do a quality job. I chose Strong Painting because their bid came in $6K less than the other painter's bid. I worked with Peter to make sure the written agreement clearly laid out my expectations, so there would be no confusion later. He was happy to do so. We scheduled the job months in advance. When the time came, they actually started a day earlier than planned, which was great. Peter and his crew was polite to my family, which I also appreciated. We were out of town during most of the paint job but Peter kept in touch on key decisions that came up, and provided me with the information I needed to make a decision even though I was remote. When they were done and my wife and I did our final walkaround we found nothing that still needed to be done. Amazing! I was happy to pay the final bill. There are only two small areas where I'd give Strong Painting critical feedback. 1) We had a small plant next to our house that his crew removed and presumably dumped into yard waste rather than tying back and painting around. My wife was annoyed by this. In truth, I thought the plant was dead, so it was understandable to me why they thought so too. 2) They left their old painting van in front of our house day and night throughout the job. This was fine, especially since we were out of town, but they also left it there a few days after the job was complete. I would have rather they moved it when they were done since my wife and I park there. Both very minor issues. In total, a very positive experience. I'll be using Strong Painting next time we paint the house or do other relevant jobs.

I haven't used them for painting but used them for fixing and replacing an exterior window frame that rotted out. (I guess they did paint the new window frame though). They completed the job as expected and left everything clean and tidy. I would use them again.

High quality work, professional, and easy to work with. Strong Painting offers competitive bids for quality work. Over the years I have realized that the cheapest is often not the best, and I paid more in the long run. To me, it is worth spending more on quality today so that I get superior work that lasts!!! The crew seems to be very well experienced and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Strong Painting Company.
