Tom’s Painting & Pressure Washing

This is the company you want to hire!
Not only was Tom professional and personable, but he’s honest! He came out to give me a quote on painting my old, beat up garage door and could have easily told me to spend the money and get the peeling wood door sanded and repainted which would have cost me over $ 400. Instead, he understand that I was just looking to have it repainted for photos because we are selling the house and recommended that fresh paint would be the better option to make it look nice without replacing the door or spending more in labor. That was refreshing.
Just as he suggested, the paint looks perfect!
Doesn’t end there, because we had a showing that weekend he was able to squeeze in the job early even with the unpredictable weather to help us out!
Quality guy, quality work, quality company!

Based on reviews and his being a local small business, I called to get my deck power washed and stained. I also needed my front door trim painted. Tom gave me a fair estimate and then did a great job for me. I’ll definitely call him again when needed.

This is an email I sent to Tom after he did some work on my house. In the subject line I titled it «Why Tom’s Painting & Pressure Washing Will Not Get My Repeat Business»
Sent this to him over a week ago and of course no response — does not surprise me as he could not give a damn.
Tom,
My name is *********** and I had the back of my townhouse and deck powerwashed last week — address was ************* along with some minor painting and trim work.
By my estimation we paid very well for this service ($ 560.00) considering you may have used $ 40 – 50 in materials (paint, chemicals, etc.) leaving you with over $ 500.00 labor. As it took maybe one hour for the painting and trim work and two hours for the powerwashing — (you stated you arrived by 8 that morning, when I arrived around 10 you were nearly finished) this worked out over $ 150.00/hr in labor. I take it you may have paid your helper $ 20.00/hr. The reason I am informing you of this as towards the end of the project I asked about why you never washed the privacy fence and you gave me some excuse that it may be the neighbor’s fence and if you damaged it you would be held liable. First of all you never inquired which fence was ours, secondly the chances of doing damage to a vinyl fence by washing it is minimal if any. In other words it was a poor excuse, when doing a job it helps to do the little «extras» or you could have asked me before you left about the fence. I was also a little disappointed that you cound not have painted the back door as well as the trim — again this may have taken another 10 – 15 minutes as you already had the paint.
As I stated I paid you well for your service as well as on time. Doing the little extras as a contractor is the way to get repeat business, not arguing with them about possible frivolous law suits. I saw plently of ads for power washing at a much better price than you quoted — I thought when I talked to you you might be someone more than those guys that advertise in the mailers — you were not. That is why you will not see repeat business from this client.
Respectfully,
Keith

Stay away! This company is running an ad on Amazon Local to pressure wash a 2 story house, up to 1500 square feet of siding for $ 99, a $ 289 value. I signed up through Amazon Local to have one side of my 2 story house washed, less than 1200 square feet. I have washed that section of my house before and it takes about 90 minutes to do it properly, but due to a recent surgery, I am unable to climb ladders for a few months. The employee of Tom’s Painting showed up on time but he looked the area over and told me he does not climb ladders and he does not use soap. He stated that he would only stand on the ground, spray water as far as it would reach and «rinse the dust off the house», as he termed it. The Amazon Local ad clearly states that their pressure washing service removes stains, mold, dirt and more. Obviously, I sent him away. To Amazons credit, they immediately refunded my payment when I reported the poor performance to them.

Tom’s Painting and Power Washing will definitely become my «go to» guy for these services. His knowledge of the industry, smart and fair practices and excellent workmanship are commendable. Tom seems to recognize the customer’s desire to maintain a «home» and not just temporarily live in a house. I appreciate his advice and great work! Definitely a recommendation to others. You will DEFINITELY be satisfied with the results! (He’s so dedicated, Tom did my project on his birthday just to fit us into the schedule! Happy Birthday again, Tom!)

I cannot say enough good things about this small company! Tom did an amazing job and he’s a local Glen Burnie guy not some large company that’s going to mess you over. The estimate was fast and professional. Tom called me the day before to set everything up, the work was done prompt and the results are AMAZING. Tom, you are a class act sir, thank you so much! Remember SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS! They’re the lifeline of America, not welfare and free cell phones!
