Persnickety Painters

Jared and his crew were great. Our project was a large one, painting the exterior of our free-​standing four story house. The project required very unusual scaffolding and many other challenges. The estimate was solid, on the high end of others, but there were no change orders and other than appropriate rain delays work was done on time and on budget. Of course the proof of a good job will be seen over time but so far so good!

They came out to look at our house and give an estimate on painting the exterior but never got back to me. I called and they said they would send me a quote. No response so I called again and they basically said they were too busy.

They should have something better than five stars.
I didn’t bid around for prices, so I don’t know about pricing, but everything Jared’s guys did was PERFECT. They did a whole bunch of extra things that I didn’t expect to be included in the bid, like patching holes in the walls (making them completely invisible), repainting interior and closet doors (I didn’t ask for that!), and fixing places in the ceiling where the drywall tape was separating. They even seem to have dusted a bunch of different hard-​to-​reach places before leaving (why did they do that?)
Let me also note that Jared didn’t assess any surcharges for these different unexpected things. He billed me for the exact price that he had quoted beforehand.

Jared and his team just finished painting our Dogpatch loft we just bought! They did an amazing job transforming the walls from 10+ years of old, cheap builder grade paint with dark accents to a fresh, bright, awesome loft! They did an amazing job… were INCREDIBLY professional, and cleaned up as if we they were never even there! Also, we got a couple quotes on price initially from our Realtors’ recommendations, and Persnickety was the most reasonable. We would recommend them to anyone!

My review is long overdue! Jared and his crew did a fabulous job painting the interior of my condo recently. Jared patiently walked me through options when preparing his estimate, and gave good suggestions and opinions on color choices. The whole crew was efficient and very precise in their work — the paint job was flawless, and my home was super clean when they were done. I would absolutely work with Persnickety Painters again in the future. Thanks, guys!

We were thrilled with all the work Persnickety did! We had them bid a previous job (the exterior of our building), but it came in higher than other bids. Since we had to make the decision with another owner in our building, we had to go with the lowest bid. We sorta regretted it, so when we had some interior work to do, we wanted to give Persnickety another shot. The bid was more competitive this time. It was still a little higher than others, but we had heard great things and decided to follow the axiom that «you get what you pay for.»
Persnickety’s attention to detail is unmatched, and the guys on the crew were completely professional, friendly and super skilled. We really appreciated:
–The constant communication about what was happening with the job
–Their willingness to take on additional projects in the house as they came up (without unreasonably adding premiums to the original estimate)
–They finished within the original time frame (even with the extras we added on).
We’ll definitely be calling them the next time we need painting.

My husband and I are so happy with our choice to hire Persnickety Painters for the interior of our new apartment. They live up to their company name! Jared and his crew were friendly, professional, arrived on time, and attentive to detail. Jared is also clearly very knowledgeable, enjoys his work, and doesn’t cut corners. And his initial estimate for the cost of the job was on target. We really appreciated all of that.
This was a pre-​move-​in job, so there were some other small projects that needed to be completed before the moving truck arrived. Jared and his crew were able to fix an old window and install new fixtures and a cabinet in the bathroom. We all got an unpleasant surprise when they took the terrible, 1970s popcorn off the ceiling, and discovered that the ceiling throughout the house was full of cracks. A full repair job was needed, and we were only 3 days away from the move. Yikes! They launched right into it, and although they weren’t finished before the truck arrived (there was no way – the ceiling was a mess), they graciously worked around the challenge. We all collaborated to make it happen. My husband and I had our movers stack everything in the middle of the rooms, and we made sure to have spaces ready for the crew when they returned on Monday morning. Despite the unintended roadblock, Persnickety were total pros. They got the job done, beautifully. It’s the best paint job and paint customer service experience that my husband and I have ever had. The apartment looks great, and everyone who has seen it has been impressed.
Thank you, Persnickety Painters!

Highest recommendation for Persnickety Painters. Jared is clearly a master of his trade, takes great pride in his workmanship and actually loves his job. We asked him to take a look at a rental unit in great need of paint salvation, and he listened to what we wanted and came up with great suggestions regarding palette/​colors etc and his estimate was very detailed and fair. The company name says it all. This is someone who will take great care to work with you on every aspect of the job, brings attention and pride of workmanship to his work, no matter what, and will want you to be happy with the end result.

Jared and his crew have done a variety of painting projects on our home – big, small, exterior, interior, and one that also included drywall repair. The quality of Persnickety Painters’ work is outstanding, and Jared is a true professional in every way. His estimates are always right on, he easily addresses challenges that inevitably crop up during a job, and on top of all that, he has a great eye for color.

Best painter I’ve ever used. Jared is calm, pleasant, confident and knowledgeable. Anything I pointed out was fixed quickly and perfectly. I called them in to fix work done by a well know prima donna painter who did a horrible job. He prepped nothing, just slapped paint over the dry wall that needed sanding, puddy, etc. After he finished I said what about these cracks, oh I just paint! Jared fixed it all and I asked if he knew what was wrong with my garden lights, he said I’ll look at them and he was able to fix them, unbelievable! I was blown away. I asked him half jokingly as the man repairing the fence put them back and then they wouldn’t go on, Jared found that the ground fault plug was bad, replaced it and it’s not even his job, he’s a painter! He’s my painter now for life.

I love Persnickety. Jared and team are fast, efficient, tidy, and definitely detail oriented. They won’t just paint your walls — they spend time doing the necessary prep work (smoothing out the flaws) so the paint job looks professional. Jared’s also a great color consultant, and he’ll let you take your time to pick out all the colors you need. He will also tell you when he thinks a color is a mistake — but he’s not afraid of color, and he’ll definitely go there if you want deep color saturation in your place. Highly recommended.
