2 Bedroom + Den Condo

It was very pleasant to deal with Tom. Tom and his team were prompt on time and finished the painting within the estimated time frame. Tom matched the quote from another competitor and did a good job, will be looking to call Tom for any future painting projects.

Exterior painting

Tom painted a few metal bands around our exterior walls. He was quick to provide a quote, very responsive with any questions and completed the work as planned.
Looking forward to working with him again in the future.

Thx Les, it was a pleasure working on your home. The house looks much better with the white rather than chocolate brown. I look forward to working on your interior when you are ready.

White-Blue Bedroom

Tom recently painted the second bedroom in my apartment. He did an EXCELLENT job, the edges are crisp and perfect and the colour looks amazing. He was also efficient and professional.

Tom went above and beyond to make this bedroom look brand new - he even fixed a crack in the door frame.

Painted complete residence

Tom was extremely professional. I needed someone to complete the painting very quickly to prepare the house to be sold. There were a few cracks, holes and patches which Tom addressed and were invisable once the painting was finished. Tom painted the walls, trim, ceilings, doors and basement walls and his work was excellent, especially the trim.
I thoroughly enjoyed Tom's easy going personality but also appreciated his hard work ethic. He was very comfortable to work with and I do not hesitate to pass along a very high recommendation.

Thanks Jan for the great review. I strive to give each and every client the best experience possible. I hope that the home is sold quickly and I think the best choice was made to modernize the home by converting the doors to painted and defining the trim by painting it white. It was a pleasure working on your home and with you.

Cheers,

Tom

Exterior painting (porch)

Tom and his crew did a great job! The weather was very uncooperative, but they worked around it and got the job done as swiftly as possible. The crew were very friendly, polite, and hard-working, and we're very pleased with the results. We would recommend Tom MacRae Painting without hesitation.

Painting, ceiling, trims and doors

I found Tom on Homestarts, who has a 9.8/10 rating. It turns out he deserve it. He always quickly responses my questions sometimes even at 4 o'clock in the morning. He helps me choose paint colors which my family loves. I have a 2300 sf house and my schedule is tight; Tom and his crew did excellent job to paint the whole house in a timely manor. Tom even painted my daughter room which is not included in the contract. Tom pays a lot attention to details and always check here and there to make sure nothing was left. And before he leaves he told me to call him if there is something left. I highly recommend him to any painting job.

Thanks Wei for those kind words. The house is beautiful! You did a great job in organizing getting new hardwood on the second floor as well as new ceramic in the bath rooms on top of the whole house being painted. You should become a general contractor as a second job! It was a pleasure doing work on your home, we had fun.

Cheers,

Tom

The painting of the entire interior of my home

Although i requested a rush job, Tom Macrae met my needs while maintaining excellent quality control. Tom stepped in at the last monent when the painter i hred quit first day. Tom and his crew painted the entire interior of the house exceptionally well. Tom was able to prevent a long delay and the place looks fantastic. He akeo rovided additional help with contacts and helping coordinate his work with that of the hardwood ibstaller. Fantastic support and i would strongly recommend

Thanks Gregg for the excellent review! It was a pleasure helping you out and hopefully you will have a quick sale of your home. Having been in the business for many years I know many other tradesmen that do excellent work that I can recommend. I treat every job as if it is my own home and word of mouth referrals are what it is all about.

Cheers,

Tom
