Doug Gorton Professional Painting

I hired DGP to paint the exterior of my house. It is an older house with wood siding and I knew there was a good bit of repair and prep needed to do it right. DGP was the only bid I received that showed a commitment to prep. It was not cheap, but it was worth it. The crew spent four days preparing the house. I had other contractors say the whole job would be done in three days, including painting!
The effort really shows and it looks great even though we finally decided on a flat dark blue that would highlight any flaw. I can’t say enough nice things about the service we received and the commitment they showed to really making sure we would be happy with the overall experience.

These guys are really great. Amazing work! Had them paint interior of house and refinish kitchen cabinets.

Nice enough guys. I called with a small job — remove popcorn from ceiling and paint the trim in a room. They were very informative as to why we need to put textured on the ceiling vs smooth ceiling. I wanted to see their work in one of my rooms before committing to the entire 5000 sqft house, but they only accept larger jobs.

Painting (and re-​roofing after April’s hailstorm) was something we had dreaded but Archie and his crew at DGP Painting made it easy and as positive as possible. They were calm, patient, good communicators, and did a great job of painting the entire exterior and some of the interior of our house. Surprisingly, there were usually only two (sometimes three) painters working at a time. They were nice, efficient, careful, and low key. It was really nice not having painters everywhere at the same time. Plus, they were so helpful in clearing out stuff from areas like our garage and back porch that could have overwhelmed us. Our project was a relatively big job and took 2 weeks to complete but everything went smoothly as scheduled. Our house looks great. We are so glad that we chose DGP Painting!

Doug and his team did a fantastic job. We had our entire exterior repainted (took a little over 2 days) and our house looks like new. The estimating process was painless and Doug provided an itemized contract with everything spelled out very clearly. We were having to coordinate the painting in between re-​roofing and other items (due to the hail storm in April) and Paul (his office manager) was patient while we got all of the pre-​work completed. He checked in every now and again to see how things were going, and once we contacted him, it was only a few days for us to be put on the schedule. If you need a honest painting contractor that does great work at a fair price, call Doug Gorton Professional Painting.

I needed something that no other company even wanted to do. DGPP really stepped up! I have a home that has a ton of natural and stained wood on it, including Ipe accent walls, cedar garage doors and soffits. Doug came out and took a long look at the home. Then he suggested some products that he thought we’d like and did a lot of homework on the Ipe wood. His quote was quick and very detailed. His crew was very polite and respectful… most of all they were fantastic. The home looks even better than when we bought it. I highly recommend them, very professional and quality work.

If you are looking for a painter you have to consider Doug Gorton. We purchased an older home that needed a complete interior and exterior redo. We knew we would be spending enough to purchase a small car so were a little concerned about finding that «right» company. Overall, DGP did a great job.
Doug was great throughout the whole process. We received a very detailed quote. He gave great advice on mixing colors to get that perfect one. From baseboards, ceilings, cabinets, doors and more, our house looks great!

Excellent Job! Call them first for a quote!
I had Doug Gorton repaint the outside of my house, including my deck. This was a dramatic color change as well as various repairs to the wood trim around my windows.
The quote process was with the owner and he did a phenomenal job explaining the process to me. He sent me a detailed quote itemizing everything they would do and the price. He also came out to set up samples when I was deciding on colors.
The painting process involved two men who were very friendly and communicative. I always felt like I could request that things be fixed and they were very responsive. It took about a week to finish the job (which was a little long in my opinion) but the work was done superbly.
I would strongly recommend calling DGPP to at least get a quote. The itemized list was extremely helpful in knowing what type of work needed to be done. Even though they are a bit more expensive than other painters, I really feel you get what you pay for.

Overall the service did a good job and I could not complain too much. Everything they did with the painting was very good and the exterior of the house looks great. I believe the crew that came to paint my house was Doug and I can’t remember the other person’s name. Them two did a phenomenal job and I would definitely use their service again. The only reason I did not give a 5 star rating is because they were late and did not let me know that they were coming late. The pricing of the job was also pretty good and I cannot complain about that. Like I mentioned the job was well done and I would use them again in the future. Thanks again guys.

Doug and his team did an excellent job. Doug clearly takes great pride in his work and it comes across. Additionally, his team delivered the work on time and at a competitive price. I would use him again in a heartbeat and have already recommended him to a friend.

House built in 1953. They did an excellent job of preparing the walls to restore the wood so it looks like a new house. They replaced some siding and eaves. Miguel and his partner were professional in every way, Archie Guerrero was the company rep who first came out, quoted the job, and checked the progress of the work regularly. We are pleased with the work and love the way the house looks. We would use Doug Gorton Professional Painting again and would recommend them without reservation.

We recently wrapped a 3 day exterior painting job with Doug Gorton Professional Painting. To say they exceeded my expectations would be an understatement.
We obtained a few quotes from other painting companies. When I met Archie from DGP Painting, I immediately felt comfortable with him and the advice he gave me on repairing a few things on the exterior before painting. Yes, their quote was higher than other estimates, but based on the amount of work they were offering (repairing siding, replacing wood, patching the garage door) I felt the price was fair. Another painting company didn’t offer any repair work, just paint.
The project took a crew of 3, 3 days to complete. The guys they sent to our house were very professional, friendly, meticulous and prompt. Archie came by on the first day to walk through the project again with me to make sure noting had changed. We added one small thing at a nominal cost, but other than that, there were no hidden fees or additional charges as the project was complete. They even removed old house numbers and put up new ones for us.
DGP Painting uses Sherwin Williams paint and the swatches they gave us were well curated and modern. The color we ended up picking looked even better than we expected. Every once in a while I would go outside to see the progress and when I would tell the painters how good it was looking, they would nod in agreement and say that the color was really fantastic. Our early 80s house looks brand new thanks to their work.
At the end of the job, they even painted our mailbox to match the house, power washed the stone work on the front of our house (looks so much better!), and power washed the sidewalk and driveway. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with DGP Painting and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Not often you come across a contractor that follows through on what they say. This one does. I was pleasantly surprised with the professionalism shown by Doug and his team.
Mending the sofits before painting was awesome and worth the money.
On time and on the mark.
Thanks guys!

This 2-​star review isn’t for work done but for the quality of communication regarding a project. After being quick with phone call and email returns, DGP completely cut off communication after visiting the site a second time. I can understand a decision that a job isn’t «worth it» but a simple call or email to explain that can go far in maintaining what looks like a stellar reputation.

As we’re preparing our home for the market, we hired DGP after reviewing several options.
Doug came over with an assistant and did a thorough walk-​through, and gave us a very competitive estimate. On the day of the paint job, Doug and his crew came right on time. He also carefully instructed the crew on the scope of the work before he left.
Now here’s where DGP earns their five stars. Before leaving, Doug pointed out some corners that needed extra care. We didn’t catch this during the initial walk-​through, but he still had his crew fix it without extra charge.
On top of that, when I voiced our concern for matching paint, Doug gladly switched to Behr Premium, which I know is more expensive than Sherwin Williams that was contracted for.
Onto the work itself. Perhaps it’s a case of ‘following the leader’, but his crew really did a fantastic job. The details count with us and they were as detailed as I could hope for. This includes taping down every corner (some painters do not do this!), laying down paper and plastic on each floor surface, cleaning any other surface that may have gotten paint splashes, and doing three coats wherever needed.
Overall, I’d highly recommend DGP for any painting needs your house may need. I cannot imagine any other company doing a better job than Doug and his fanstastic crew.

Doug and his team are thorough. professional, reasonable in rates and on time in delivery.
Doug and his team finished painting our house a few weeks ago. Doug went through his proposal for the job as part of the bidding process. He outlined what would be done by room and a per room quote so we could finalize the overall project by choice. Doug’s bid was not the lowest but he had the most comprehensive bid along with clear warranties etc.
The team that painted the house, was friendly clean and respectful of us. They added additional rooms after the project commenced and still finished on time. After the job, Doug came personally to do a walk through and patched up minor areas. He also taught us how to fix issues should they happen ourselves. Doug also offered to connect us with other contractors to solve some non-​painting problems.
All in all a great experience. We highly recommend this company.

Very professional and prompt, from the initial estimate, which was very detailed until the job was complete. The paint job was very well done. It is the first time ive ever had to have my house painted, and doug gorton made it painless.

Our house looks fantastic!
When it was time to have the exterior of our house painted, I read many reviews on Unilocal!and chose to solicit bids from only those companies that seemed to care about their work and their customers. Doug Gorton and his crew went above and beyond the rest.
Doug took the time to explain what they were recommending be done and why, from low pressure hand-​washing the house, to counter-​sinking and sealing all of the nail heads. And then they followed through with everything they promised, including gathering multiple color samples and painting large enough sections of the back of the house in each of those colors so we could see what they looked like in something larger than the tiny paint chip on a color card. Whoever you use I highly recommend getting this done, even if you have to do this part yourself-​some of those colors really become overwhelming as you paint larger areas.
When it came time to do the actual work, the crew took over three days to do all of the prep work and not because they were slow or took lots of breaks. They were meticulous in preparing the house to receive the new paint, something that will more than pay for the price difference over some of the cheap painters I have seen working around my neighborhood. Even when it came down to the painting, this crew was great, taping off and masking areas that were not going to be painted, rather than relying on a handheld shield as I have seen many other painters do.
All said and done, DGP was not the lowest bid we received (though the difference was not as much as I was afraid it might be), but both the explanation of what they were proposing to do and the work were much more thorough than the other companies and well worth our investment. I simply can not recommend them more highly.

Couldn’t be happier! Archie knows his stuff and is willing to do whatever is necessary to get the job done right. We had the entire exterior of our new house painted, broken screens removed, windows washed, and wood rot repaired. The crew worked efficiently and did a stellar job with a lot of attention to detail. With the scope of work for a two-​man crew, the price was very reasonable. You won’t regret choosing DGP!

We just wrapped up our work with Doug Gorton Painting and they did an amazing job. As a repeat customer, I can attest to the quality and care Doug and his crew provides to each and every job. Knowing how much effort and cleaning is needed to do the job oneself, it was reassuring to see the care and details the crew took to ensure the house was properly covered, floors with paper tarp and plastic to shield any excess dust from seeping throughout the house.
His prices are fair and his team does great work. The job started on time and the crew was really easy to work with.
