Reliable & honest

I've renovated 1/2 dozen homes over the last decade and have yet to find a painter I would stick with. One was great but went out of business, another was also great but terribly slow and the rest charged a small fortune for a crapup paint job and terrible attitude.

Needless to say, I'm thrilled to have found Scott. He's quick and reliable but even more important to me is that he's honest - he actually charged me less than originally quoted as the job was not as much work as originally anticipated - and he's a pleasure to have around. I didn't hesitate giving him a key to my house.

I'm hiring Scott again in the new year to paint my part of the house and I will be recommending him to my friends and colleagues in the real estate business.

For this job, Scott painted the walls and ceilings of a 500sqft basement apartment (no trim work or interior doors) as well as 3x exterior doors inside and out.

My only suggestion is to consider upgrading to BM or SW paints. Scott uses Behr unless you request otherwise. I know a lot of people (incl painters) love Behr but I really saw a quality difference between it and my usual BM Aura. As it was a tenanted apt, the lower cost paint is just fine but for my part of the house I'll be spending the extra for top quality paint that doesn't mark or scratch off so easily.

Tracy, thanks for the wonderful review and for taking the time to write it! It was terrific working with you and I especially enjoyed the ice cream and chocolate bars you brought me :)
Thanks also for the comment re choice of paint... I've had no trouble with Behr but am always up for client choice... I just try to keep things affordable for everyone unless an upgrade to top line or specific brand is requested. Completely appreciate the input though, truly.
Best to you, and look forward to future endeavors at your beautiful home! Thanks again Tracy.

Super Paint Job

This is the second time we asked Scott to do work for us and we certainly were not disappointed. He took the time come and give us suggestions for colour choices and his quote was on target and professionally prepared. On the day he was supposed to start work the floor people had not quite finished he calmly took this in stride and worked around them. Not once in the three days he worked at our home was he even a minute late. The end product is stunning, even my fussy husband had to admit that the job Scott has done is perfect. Thanks for the great job Scott!

Complete Condo Painting

We needed someone to paint our entire new condo as the walls/ceiling were still covered with cheap white builders paint. We read numerous reviews then after interviewing 3 companies highly recommended on HomeStars we selected Scott. His quote was very competitive. Also we have a number of quirks with regard to parking issues with our building and Scott helped us to resolve these.
With regard to the painting, Scott did an amazing job. He is very particular, professional and trustworthy. Our place looks amazing. He worked with our schedule and with us chose to work longer days resulting in finishing a couple of days early. I felt like we worked as a partner with Scott as we had a daily dialogue of what was next to be done and we could prepare accordingly. We are extremely satisfied with Scott's work and highly recommend him.

Kitchen, living room, dining room

I hired Scott the first time based on reviews I had read on Home Stars. He did an amazing job painting my living room and dining room last summer, and because of that, I hired him again recently to paint my kitchen. He not only painted the walls and trim, but all the cabinets, which now look like they're brand new. Scott was on time, courteous, clean and very well organized. I have since recommended him to other friends and family members, and when the time comes I will ask him back, without hesitation.

whole house painting

Scott is awesome!
We bought an old house back in Jan, which definitely needed to be re-painted. We found Scott on homestar and it was a great experience. This was our first home purchase and we knew very little about renovation. Scott had given us very useful suggestions (such as color selection, etc) along the way, always tried to accommodate our requests and never been pushy. The communication has always been smooth from the beginning till the end, and we became friends. He responded to our initial email with some details in a prompt manner, and came afterwards to see the house to finalize the quote and the details of the job. The quote was quite reasonable, and he finished the job even a day or two earlier than the estimation. He was very careful and patient when doing the job, always put things (such as power outlet, window curtain rod, etc) back to the original conditions, and kept the place quite tidy. We had new floors installed after he painted the living room walls, which made the walls dusty. He repainted the walls without a problem. The house looks really nice after the painting job and we like it very much! Thank you Scott!

Small Area Wall Repairs and Paint Touch up

After changing some Kitchen Light Fixtures I attempted to repair the electricians holes left in the wall and on the ceiling.
Bad Mistake. Scott came in to smooth out my errors and bring both the wall and the ceiling back to their original state.
On Time, Quick Worker, Excellent Cleanup. We had worked with
Scott 7 months ago when he wallpapered our bathrooms.
Another first class experience! Highly Recommend!

Scott is a reliable, his estimate for the job is accurate.
Scott did two jobs for my within a few months apart. He keep the job site clean at the end of each day. He is very good at detailing.
I would highly recommend Scott to anyone who is looking for the best painter.

Based on my experience, I believe you can rely on Scott to do high quality work. Highly recommend you hire him!!!

Bedroom Painting

Scott was recommended to me by both a family member and friends. I am so happy they did as it is really difficult to find a skilled and high quality painter. From the moment of our first contact, Scott proved to be professional, prompt and pleasant. He gave me excellent advice about paint types and finishes and met all the timelines he had agreed to. His work was top notch from preparing the walls to a spotless clean up. Scott appears to be somewhat of a perfectionist and it showed in the excellence of his work. He was quiet and extremely hard-working on one of the most humid days of the year and I will both use his services again and recommend him to others. What a find!

Dining room feature wall

I've been in touch with Scott for about 6 months about various wallpaper projects but hadn't actually proceeded with the work until this month. Throughout that time Scott was very responsive to every inquiry, flexible with many changes in the scope of the project and provided education/guidance by email on the quantity of wallpaper I needed given the unique patterns I was considering.

Today, Scott was extremely prompt (actually asking if it was okay to start early) and took great care to ensure his work was flawless. Of all the contractors we've worked with, Scott seemed to exhibit the most care and pride in his work, and it shows. We couldn't be happier with the end result and would (and will) recommend Scott.
