Joe's Painting

We too got the initial quote with the caveat that a second coat would cost more and wouldn't ya know it, it needed a second coat that essentially increased our quote by 50%.

Owners are not super responsive and that is my main reason for a less than stellar review.

Also, invoices say things like "etc..." and don't specify what is included in "etc". Then workers start certain areas like in between stairs that apparently are not included in trim, but they have their workers showing and asking me if that is included and I say yes bc I thought it was...then owner texts me saying I added it on, but won't respond to my texts or answer my calls...lesson here is get as specific as possible in quote/invoice.

Workmanship is okay. Seemed to do better work on things like walls than on things like baseboards.

I get a few quotes before settling here and beware the second coat upcharge

Whatever bid this company quotes you, walk away. They submit extremely low bids to undercut their competition and secure business. Once the contract is executed, however, get ready for the costs to rapidly increase. The "high quality" paints that they claim to use, which they state might make your job just need one coat of paint instead of two, appear to be no better than the basic stuff you'd get at Lowe's or Home Depot; so, prepare to pay for an extra coat of paint to make the job look right. I won't even get started on some of the work they said they could handle but then later decided they couldn't, forcing me to find another company to handle it. Just. Walk. Away

I walked my project separately with both owners. We discussed board by board what was rotted wood that needed to be replaced. The day the project started I found the crew to be completely not informed of my job scope. That day they had to ask them to use drop cloths while painting. On day 2 I caught them caulking over old weathered, cracked caulk. I caught the lead man hiding old rotted wood with caulk. When I brought it to his attention that all rotten would needed to be replaced, he said he was not informed to do this.

I had to babysit the job. Sadly, they bid my house painting project with no primer. Run, run as fast as you can away from Joe's Paint!

After the painters from Joe's Painting painted my kitchen cabinets the wrong color, they refused to make it right, saying in some twisted logic that it was my fault and they would not repaint it the correct color without charging me for labor. They failed to point out that THEY lost the colors and what was to be painted and they only admitted so till just a few day before the job was to begin. A few days later, the painters showed up at the front door without any paint asking AGAIN what color they needed to purchase. So, I give me the pamphlet from Home Depot detailing the paint and they AGAIN state all they needed was the color. So instead of going to Home Depot, they go to Sherman Williams and buy the paint which turned out to be a completely different color and shade.
Flash forward: When I tried to resolve this with Joe's Painting, they tried to put the blame on me and refused to make it right. Unfortunately, they already had my money which they cashed the same day it was written. After many, many phone conversations, it became clear that no matter how I explained to them the circumstances , they were not going to redo without charging for labor or offer any refund. They outright lied and tried to blame this all debacle on me
This was just a BAD experience from start to finish and I highly recommend that you stay away from this company. Do not give them any money, even if it is the low bid, because that is exactly the type of customer service you receive: low.

Joe's team did an awesome job painting the exterior, kitchen cabinets and other interior rooms in our house. His pricing is competitive and he'll make sure the job is done exactly how you need it to be. Lots of neighbors have stopped to let us know how nice they think it looks.

We hired Joe's Painting in late May of 2021 to paint our home-- walls, ceilings, doors, crown molding, baseboards, trim, kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Although JP was initially the lowest of 4 quotes, the price would be greater if multiple coats were needed, as Joe only quotes one coat of paint, and adds additional fees if two coats are required. The other 3 painters we interviewed included two coats of paint in their quote upfront. Joe made sure to verbally assure us that in his 20 years of paint experience, he rarely needed to use two coats of paint because of the "high quality" paint he uses. *Upon speaking to multiple individuals that work at local Sherwin Williams', the Promar 200 paint used for the majority of our home is the lowest builder grade (primarily suitable for apartments, closets, etc.) and multiple coats are, effectively, expected. On the morning of Day 1of the job, the foreman and his crew of ~7 individuals arrived at our home. Although we moved many items to the center of our rooms, and removed all hanging items and blinds from the walls, as stated in the estimate to prepare for the paint job, the crew assisted moving much of the larger objects (e.g., couches, chairs, wall-mounted TVs, etc.). Early on, the foreman asked us if we knew they were starting today. He did not do so in a sarcastic manner, but we feel he felt we had not properly prepared the house. We had done exactly as was written in the estimate, and as Joe had casually told us by phone. In under an hour that first morning, we were able to move everything else in our home to the center of each room. The crew prepped the house, including covering the majority of our items & furniture with plastic coverings and tape. Joe came to our house that morning and visited with us while the crew was working. It was all friendly, casual conversation. He never once said anything about our readiness, the house, or anything negative at all. One of the biggest problems we have is that the crew removed the majority of the plastic coverings from all rooms on the 2nd & 3rd day of painting, before completing multiple coats on ceilings and walls, as well as before painting the cabinets, doors, and trim work. This resulted in "overspray" and paint drops on several of our things throughout the house. *It was very obvious once they began painting the ceilings that multiple coats would have to be painted, in turn increasing the total significantly. Needing multiple coats was highly influenced by the quality of the paint used. We were told "our walls" could be the problem.The foreman told us Thurs. morning that an additional day was going to be needed (Friday). He then painted the kitchen cabinets on this day as well. The cabinets were previously a red mahogany stain, and he used 2 coats of white paint, but did not paint most of the bottom edges of the cabinets, and there is still red that shows through the white on many sides. Painting ended up being completed on the evening of Day 4. We were asked to do the "walk through," right then. We asked Christina Davenport if we could do it the next day, as we had not been living in our home and had not had the chance to walk through ourselves to see what needed to be touched up. She agreed and met us the next day. That evening we discovered several of our things had been damaged by the painting crew. We also saw numerous paint mess-ups, drips, overspray, missed spots, sloppy work, and paint that needed to be removed, as well as an entire room with a strange spotty sheen on all the walls. Along with the multiple "paint-related" issues, we pointed out a few big problems, like multiple scratches in the slate flooring in the middle of our kitchen (with clear attempts to buff/treat), a broken electrical outlet, paint drops on our son's comforter (as opposed to the "mist" overspray, which was throughout our house), scratches on our newly built-in wooden media center (installed the day prior to the painting job), and multiple paint drops on our Peloton mat. Joe's Painting would not accept any responsibility and instead said we were to blame for the damages! We had mistakenly paid in full in good faith when asked how we were going to pay the balance, which ended up being $2k over the initial estimate. We never thought these people, who claim on their website they ensure complete approval from each client and that he is part of the process from beginning to end to make sure the customer is 100% satisfied, would cash our check the next day, and then deny all damages and begin threatening a lawsuit against us! We were never rude, loud, disrespectful, or unkind in any of our conversations, emails, or texts- yet Joe Davenport became extremely angry and unprofessional when he was challenged with a less than stellar job. Upon researching this business, we discovered that most of the reviews and recommendations for JP were personal friends of theirs. Lesson learned. Check the BBB and do your research before hiring!

Oh. My. Gosh!! This crew came in and they were done as fast as they started with a flawless finish! We have a two story house painted inside and out! Couldn't be happier and the price was right they were so easy to work with regarding our other house renovations with other contractors! 10/10 would recommend and use again!!! Love joe and his guys!
