I solicited quotes from two companies to paint a 2-story great room and entry way. Epic had an edge…read moreover the other company as we had quite a bit of drywall repairs which Eric's team was able to handle. They showed up every day at 7:00 and went straight to work. The great room had Venetian plaster applied 25 years ago. They had to sand all the walls to get them smooth. Their attention to detail preparing the walls, fixing drywall damage on walls and ceiling was impressive. They covered and protected all areas that would be at risk and sealed off rooms to contain any dust. We expected more dust, but they use vacuum systems with HEPA filters which minimized the dust. Finally applying the primer and paint was clean and neat. They left the work area clean every day. I highly recommend Epic Painting. We will have them back this summer for other projects.

A picture speaks volumes- here are six. Here's what…read morehappened- my trusted painter wasn't available and we had a fast, unplanned move out of state. Hired his company, paid the deposit and scheduled new carpet BEFORE painting as this company had requested. In this order: Move out Cleaning 3 days top to bottom New carpet Painters Move-out cleaning crew Professional Carpet cleaners We spent (3) days cleaning the entire house then left the state. The next thing I know the final move-out cleaning company is sending my realtor these photos. Must have been a mistake, I thought. I called Todd to inquire and oh boy - he must have known something was up because he immediately started screaming at me, "...no good deed goes unpunished...I did extra work for free!" Yeah, buddy, you didn't- you charged me for the nail pops, too. So I ask him to make it right and he finally says he's 30 mins away and he'll take care of it. My brother went over to meet him and let him in. 30 mins, 45 mins, an hour- no Todd. So my brother calls him. Todd: "I told her I was 30 mins away, not that I would be THERE in 30 mins." Brother: "Do you think that's funny?" Todd: "....uh.... ok I will head that way now". Todd has jokes, apparently. When he finally arrived there were all kinds of excuses, but my brother was kind enough to help motivate him to do the right thing. When Todd decided to try and make this my fault and fix his lips to call me a b*tch, my brother kindly showed him the door. Todd is not a smart man, we figured. He can say what he likes as the photos speak for themselves. Needless to say, my realtor was a champ and truly helped out during this fiasco while I was halfway across country- virtually helpless and stressed by this nonsense. Maybe it was a bad week? I cannot say. If you need a reliable, professional painter and can schedule ahead of time- Leo Pantano Leo "the Painter" is a much better choice. UPDATE: after posting my honest review, Todd felt like txting me with what appears to be glorious new allegations of something I did wrong... while not even in the same state. So, here's the original txt from him corroborating my review and his "1/2 hr away" assertion that prompted the aforementioned phone call. Followed by the txt I just got in response to this review. Harassment? I don't know for certain, but I've received four more txts in the time it took to type this update AFTER telling him not to contact me. Unhinged? Definitely. Decide for yourself.

I am actually having a hard time writing this review. I was very much looking forward to Todd…read morepainting our house and he was such a likable nice guy with a lot of enthusiasm for his craft. He was recommended to us, therefore, I had a very safe feeling going into the process. I like recommendations and would prefer not to use someone that hasn't been recommended to me personally by someone. He was prompt and showed up for the consultation as planned. He had a lot of great ideas and made us feel very comfortable with him and his work. We thought he gave us a fair price and we informed him we were not in a huge hurry, we just wanted it done for the Holidays. This was 8/13/2020. He asked us for a 60% deposit which was $1,440.00. We paid him by check right away and he cashed the check the next day. We heard from him in September just letting us know he was a bit behind in his schedule due to the weather, which was to be expected since it was a rainy/stormy month so some of his outside projects were behind. We informed him that we were ok with that, as we mentioned, before the Holidays was fine and it wasn't a large job. He informed us that it would be done in plenty of time. We NEVER heard from him again. I reached out in early December just to touch base and let him know we took on a kitchen project and was going to put the painting off a couple months, but that we still wanted him to do the painting and we would also have additional work for him. He NEVER responded. We've reached out several times to no avail. I've asked for return of the deposit several times, even offering Venmo, Zelle, paypal, etc. so that he didn't even have to make contact with us, just return our money. WE'VE RECEIVED NOTHING TO DATE. Essentially this man has taken off with $1,440 of which he did ZERO WORK. He never stepped foot into our house again after he left with our deposit. Unfortunately, we now have to go to small claims court and incur time and fees to get any portion of our money back. We still need the work done and that money is needed to help pay for it to be done by someone else. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN MONEY UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE. I don't doubt he does wonderful work as he showed us many pictures of his past projects. Unfortunately, I don't know the motive here as we were wanting to give him additional work - BUT HE HAS DISAPPEARED WITH $1,440 of our money that does not belong to him. Todd Carrizales 11N575 Burlington Road Hampshire, IL 60140 630-333-8022 This is the information on his contract. Which I have and I also have proof of payment in the form of a cancelled check, his handwriting on the contract stating amount paid, check number and date, and all of the unanswered texts. It's just going to be a huge waste of time - but I cannot let him just keep the money.

I'd highly recommend Chris for painting / drywall patching!…read more Chris was quick to respond to my Yelp request for a quote, and we were able to schedule our services for just a few days later. His quote was reasonable, and his work was fantastic - from patching three small drywall holes and painting only that section of a wall, to clean-up of various nicks and scratches previously incurred, to completely changing the paint color in one of our bedrooms... the patches are not visible, the ceiling lines were clean, blending was nearly invisible, he worked quickly and efficiently, and he performed all cleanup. Our experience was so good that we have now requested a quote to paint the exterior of our home in the coming months and will be working with him for future interior paint jobs in the future. Just call him!

It started with an estimate from Ryan Strelcheck I can only describe as incredibly detailed and easy to understand. I was kept informed of my place on their schedule and when the painting started they were here EVERY day (3) until completed. The same painters, Tony, Martin and Max were here start to finish starting promptly at 7AM and as quiet as a church mouse. During the day there was no loud music blaring and at the end of the day there was NO mess left behind. The workmanship was great as was the communication for the questions I had during the job. I am a retired tradesman and I know pride in workmanship when I see it and these guys have it. The final point is the price was very fair and competitive. RAY J
