Thank you for the review Sam. I didn't mind at all painting that window and column for you, it was only an extra half hour. I wouldn't feel comfortable charging someone for something so small. Thanks again!

Major paint job

We brought Kara painting in upon recommendation from a friend. Steve came and gave us a very fair quote, and started promply. He was always on time, and obviously takes great pride in his work. He didn't mind when I decided to change the colour 1/4 of the way through, and was able to make helpful suggestions such as lightening the mouldings in the front foyer, which made them pop (and was more work for him!)I can't say enough about how professional and courteous he was, and the quality of work is outstanding. I will definitley recommend him, and have him back in my house in the future.

Thank you very much Amanda, I'm glad that you're happy with my work. The mouldings in the foyer turned out really nice. I didn't mind doing them it was only an extra hour out of my day. Thanks again!

2700sq ft House

We can't say anything but the best about Kara Painting! We brought Kara painting in to paint just a couple of rooms in our house and we were so satisfied with the job that they did that we decided to paint the entire house (it needed a fresh paint job). Steve is amazing. He is so easy to talk to, tells you exactly what he's going to do, how long it's going to take him and his pricing is excellent. He goes above and beyond to make sure that he does an absolutely perfect job. We couldn't be any happier with the way our house looks. I love when we have company and they comment on the colours and paint job. Everyone asks us who painted our house. We would totally recommend Kara Painting to everyone. You will not be disappointed!

Marianna, thanks for the review. Your home was absolutely stunning, the trims carpenters did a fantastic job. It means a lot to me that after painting only a couple of rooms you had us back to paint the rest of your home. Thanks again!

Interior home painting

I was told about Kara Painting through a friend via a strong recommendation. I must say I was absolutely blown away by his work. I have never been so pleased by work being done by a contractor. He is an extremely personable and professional contractor. Easy to talk to in regards to discussing work and prices. The work he did was fantastic and although I am quite a perfectionist I literally had nothing to complain about throughout the entire duration of the work. Could not possibly be more satisfied with Kara Painting and I would recommend to everyone.

Family Room and patching

We had our family room re-painted - a smaller job but it required the bay window and the munton (sp?) bars to be painted as well as 2 ceilings since our kitchen is connected, and all the baseboards. We also had a huge hole in the hall that needed to be patched properly and the ceiling there fixed as well. A fiddly job. Steve did an excellent 10 star job! He's also very professional - comes in on time and leaves the work space tidy every night. I hired Steve Karakostas after receiving quotes from two other painters. Everyone was in the same range (reasonable) but what made Steve stand out was his thorough quote which was emailed promptly in a detailed PDF with his terms and inclusions. Everyone else just scratched the price on a piece of scrap paper. He never asked for a down payment - I realized after I paid him at the end. He also followed up with a written warranty on his work!! WOW - that's attention to detail.

I've added his before and after shot - this hole was hard as it went right to the crown molding and he did a perfect job in patching. I can't tell the difference.

Painting two bedrooms and entranceway and refinishing white pine posts and beams

Kara Painting was: (1) Highly Skilled; (2) Personable; (3) Professional; (4) On time; (5) On Budget; (6) Attentive to fine details; (7) Diligent; (8) Honest; (9) Fair. My post and beam home required unique attention to structural and finish details and Kara Painting excelled. There is no point in hiring anyone else when you can hire the best in the business. 1000% recommended. Thanks again, Steve. Home looks stunning.

John, thanks for the review. Your home is definitely an eye catcher, I've never seen so much pine in one home. It was a lot of work restoring the pine beams but it was well worth it. Thanks again!

Living, dining and bathroom renovation

This past fall, I wanted to redecorate my apartment and I could not have expected the impeccable service I had received from Kara Painting. When I asked Steve, to come by and provide me with a quote, he offered his expert advice on colour choices and what would be suitable for the various rooms. The quality of his work speaks for itself, I have recommended Kara Painting to friends and family, who all agree that the quality of service provided is excellent. Thanks Kara Painting for making my home beautiful!

Bought a really old home and Kara Painting came in and made it look like new.

These guys are the best painters, left me and my wife satisfied with their work, did it in a shorter time span then given and the pricing was average or better, not too expensive and definitely worth the work. Me and my wife bought a very old home and was looking to remodel and re sell, we thought it was impossible to accomplish but after we got some serious renovations done, Kara Painting came in and did their magic and now the house looks like its brand new.
