Two bedrooms and kitchen wall

Excellent work!!! We would highly recommend Tom and his crew to anyone who is thinking about having their home painted. The work was completed quickly and looks amazing - quality workmanship and we could not be happier with the results. Tom was great to work with and very patient as we tried to finalize our colour choices. We will absolutely be asking Tom to come back and help us finish painting the rest of our home.

Thx Elyse for taking the time to write the review. Your rooms look amazing and the colour scheme really changed the look! We look forward to working on the other 2 areas of your home when you are ready.

Painting entire main floor of house

This is the second house we've had Tom paint for us. This time, Tom and his team came in to paint before we moved in. They needed an extra half day to finish the 4.5 day job, but everything looked picture perfect when they were done, and the extra time didn't affect the original quote we were given. Would definitely use and recommend again!

Thx Stephen. It was a pleasure working on your new home. I am glad we fit your timeline and that we had that extra half day to finish. There was more prep work needed than initially expected but it is really the prep work that makes the difference in the finished product. Enjoy your beautiful new home.

Cheers,

Tom

Thx Katie for the kind words! I am glad to have been able to help you personalize your new home. HomeStars is a great tool to help clients to professionals when moving to a new town or city when they don't have people in that area to spread the "word of mouth". I hope you enjoy living in this lovely city of ours!

Cheers,

Tom

repairs to wall and ceiling, painting

The rebuilding of the wall and ceiling was done quickly, on time and within budget. The paint job is matching the rest of the room so we only had to paint the wall and ceiling affected by the plumbing work, saving us some dollars. We have an older house with plaster and the joint of the plaster with the new drywall is invisible. The work was done over 3 days, with Tom doing 2 visits on some days. Thanks Tom for your good work.

Thanks Jim for the kind words. It was challenging closing up the holes in the ceiling and wall but we got your dining room back together. It was a pleasure working on your home and I am glad we met your timeline.

Paint Touch Up Fascia

I recently had my roof done, but after it was done my fascia and drip edge were fading and rather crappy looking. Tom MaCrae to the rescue! Sent him email and Tom was by the house promptly and figured out what I needed and gave me a very reasonable quote. After I accepted he came by within a couple of days and completed the work quickly and exactly to my satisfaction. Though you only see part of the house he actually did same touch up to fascia for the entire house. Will definitely recommend Tom to the neighbours and friends.

Paint and Trim

This is the second time we've had Tom paint our our house and both times we have been very happy with the work! This time Tom and his team finished sanding, painting and doing the trim following some window replacement and Renos. They were efficient and careful in their work, and I would definitely call Tom again next time!

Fireplace tile 'update'

Our fireplace is encased in polished, engineered marble tile, and while the colour wasn't terrible, we did want to brighten up the room, while modernizing our space at the same time. I've painted tile before, and it's not for the faint of heart. With that, we called Tom to get the job done right. Tom's an absolute professional, and takes excellent care with his work. He was punctual in his coordination and start/finish times, and did an absolutely perfect job on our fireplace. We'll be bringing Tom, and likely his crew, back to help with updating other parts of our house, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a professional painter.

Thanks Marie, it was a pleasure to work on your bathrooms and to get that drywall repair done for you. It was also great reminiscing about Yellowknife with you.
