Angela in Toronto

When I wanted to improve my humble home with a fresh coat of paint, I didn’t know where to turn. It didn’t help that most of the contractors I found were utterly inadequate. The first blew my mind by committing a time-wasting rookie error right off the bat: taping over the whole window, dishwasher, and cupboard instead of just masking the edges. Their work was so bad that the company offered to repaint my entire house for free out of sheer embarrassment. The next painter took three days to finish three TINY bedrooms, brought their significant other along as a “helper,” and said they couldn’t give me an accurate estimate because they were stressed from cleaning brushes all night. Maybe they shouldn’t have picked painting as a profession! Calling Alex at Emerald Painting Services put my worries to rest. Getting started was as simple as texting him photos of the areas I wanted to have painted. He quickly replied with a quote and said he could get started at 8 a.m. the following day — a Saturday, no less! When the big day came, Alex arrived on time and knocked out all the prep work, including sanding and treating the plaster, like a real expert. Then, he painted the whole living room, dining room, ceiling, stairs, and baseboards before wrapping up at 4:30 p.m. the same day! Watching Alex in action was amazing. He’s obviously skilled and knowledgeable about planning projects, prepping surfaces, and applying materials for a perfect finish. Considering the fantastic results he produced, I don’t think I’ll need touch-ups for a long while, but I know exactly who I’ll call when the time comes. Thank you, Alex!
