Outside of house

Very disappointed with the workmanship of this company.
Had to call them back to complete work on gable.
Paint left on front steps, path and garden. Painted the branches of a bush that had just been trimmed.
Asked by company rep. to leave a tip for them, unfortunately their work did not qualify for a tip and resent being asked to provide one.
I would not recommend this company.

Very sorry to hear about this. Most of our people do amazing work but clearly this was not the case hear. It is our policy to leave an envelope as a convenience for customers who either wish to donate to the MS Society of Canada and/or provide a tip for painters. It is certainly not something we will ever force or even strongly suggest people do. If it came across that way, that is not proper and I apologize.

Home exterior painting mess

Student Works Painting (Surrey) provided careless, unpredictable, slow service for our home exterior painting. After paying a deposit in March, and being the first large job in their schedule, the work didn't start until June. They then started another exterior job without finishing the second coat of ours (against a company comittment that they don't move on without finishing your job).

They then came to complete the job, said they were done, and left tape in our gutters, paint on our roof, messy edges everywhere. We identified at least 30 deficiencies.

I couldn't and wouldn't recommend this painter to a friend.

Paint bathroom, porch, and driveway

I am very satisfied with the conduct and performance of the three students who worked at my house. They were all very dedicated and productive. The quality of the work was excellent. I am very happy with the results and the very, very reasonable price. I will gladly recommend this crew to anyone. Great job, guys! Thanks so much.

Exterior House Painting

Regret hiring them, and would not recommend them to anyone. They did a very poor job on our house and were unprofessional, goofing off while working, got paint on our steps, windows and patio furniture, left their ladders and poles at our house for over a week after they were done. Complained about having to come back and finish off door trims they were paid to paint. We're now painting them ourselves after paying them +$4K. Terrible group.

Outdoor Painting

We hired Student Works to paint our new fence and deck, and they came and completed the work. However, after less than one season the paint was peeling off the deck. It seemed as if the wrong product may have been used.
When I contacted the company to redeem the warranty, they were initially unresponsive. However, they did eventually return to our home and redo the job for free.
Based on this experience, I would say that Student Works does stand by their warranty and tries to ensure customer satisfaction.

Sorry to hear about your experience. As you can see from most of our reviews, our customers tend to be very satisfied. We have clearly failed in this case. Apologies again. There is no excuse for the lack of communication. Martin is still a Student Works person and has agreed to repaint your deck over the next two weeks. As with most painting companies decks are NOT covered by our Three Year Warranty, and we make this clear. Having said that, we've been in business for 25 years and pride ourselves on going above and beyond to honour warranty. Regardless of what is not covered under our warranty program, even a deck or stairs should not fail within a year. Rest assured, we will investigate why it failed and fix it. Thanks for your patience. Dan

Gutters/Fascia board

Heard about Jordan Kipnes through his mailouts. I found him very professional and knowledgeable. He sure knows his paints ! My gutters needed attention; they were stained from acid rain ! He assured me the paint he would be using would sustain the effect of acid rain and he was right ! It’s been a year now and my gutters still look freshly painted.

Exterior Painting

I found Belce Yoruk to be highly professional and knowledgeable on paint tech and application. Her price was also very competitive with the other quotes I've had. Despite my unfortunate previous experience with student painters, I took a chance on her, and I am glad to say that she has not let me down. The crew that came in to do the work did an exceptional job, Belce managed them very well and the job went very smooth. I would hire her again for any of my painting needs. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs painting in North Vancouver.

Exterior House Painting

We had the exterior of the house painted in June 2014 by Jonah Neukomm and his crew of student painters. We were extremely happy with the work done, and also with the high level of customer service we received. The house is a bit difficult to paint where there are wooden shingle slats, but Jonah and his crew did an outstanding job. I was also impressed that the grounds were cleaned at the end of each work day. We highly recommend Jonah and his crew.

White Trim Painted

Just wanted to thank Erin and her crew for doing such a great job on our white trim last year. Crew was on time, friendly, professional and did a great job as well. Job was completed on time and to our satisfaction. Price was great and as a bonus we get to help local students! If we have the money and I can convince my husband I will be getting them to do my interior soon as well!
