Griffith Painting & Restoration Inc

We hired Jay for painting our living room room, dining room and hall as well as crown molding in those rooms. Him and his crew did a great job at a great price. He’s very professional, communicates well and wants to make you happy with the final product. Highly recommended.

Not impressed by the quality of work. If I had to do it over again, I would have hired someone else. Underestimated amount of time needed to complete the job, instead of doing it properly they rushed through and didn’t prime what was promised. If you can’t see it, they won’t paint it. I was hanging a painting the other day and noticed they didn’t even paint on top of the doors! They came back to do touchups, but didn’t fix everything. I had to run around sanding, spackling, sanding and painting what they didn’t do well. I should have paid more for better work. They painted over dirty surfaces and paint is peeling now. They also had strangers come (cousins, brothers, who knows!) to finish the job, and I am certain something of ours was stolen. Bottom line– the job is not worth what was paid, even though they tried to make it right by redoing some work. BTW the contract was a useless document that was completely disregarded. They used lower quality paint, less coats, didn’t prime what was promised, didn’t spackle and sand what needed to be prepped before painting, and didn’t protect our floors from the start. They painted right on top of dust and debris.
Additionally, I «second» everything that Adam said in the filtered reviews that are ‘not recommended’ regarding lack of communication. There was a major disconnect between manager and work crew, and myself. I contacted manager a dozen times to get a response. I had to talk to work crew directly. They were nice guys, but simply didn’t pay attention to detail and got sloppy rushing.

When we decided to finally paint our house, we knew that we would get an estimate from Griffith Painting, since we see their signs all over Scotch Plains and Fanwood. Once we met Jay Griffith and talked with him about the project, we cancelled our other appointments for estimates and signed with him immediately. He had good suggestions for the project, was receptive to our ideas, and was responsive to our questions, both in person and via email.
We appreciated having a free color consultation with Kim. She was tremendously helpful, and we settled on a palette of colors that we love.
Once the project started, we were impressed with the quality of the work. Our project required several days of work, and the crew was always prompt and courteous. They were also quite responsive to our suggestions.
Each day that passed, our house got more and more beautiful. By the time the project was done, our house was completely transformed! The job was done more skillfully than we could have expected, and the finished product was even better than we could have imagined. I love coming home from work and having that moment of surprise when I first see the house– it looks completely new!
I unequivocally recommend Griffith Painting, and will enjoy their work on our house for years to come!
