Chris painted most of our 1,800 sq ft 1910 house this past summer and did a stellar job! Not only…read moredid he paint walls, ceiling, and trim, but he also repaired drywall defects, patched large holes in the ceiling, and sanded walls in all rooms. The walls and ceiling look amazingly smooth, practically like the walls of a brand new construction rather than a 100+ year old house! He also was so considerate and accommodating and a great communicator. His high-quality workmanship paired with his kindness and dependability made us feel very lucky to have found him. He also worked well under less than ideal circumstances. We were doing major electrical renovations and as a result only a few outlets worked in the entire house. For a large part of the project we had no working air conditioner and it was very hot outside. Without any complaints, Chris made it work, despite hardly any lighting or cool air or outlets for fans! We are really pleased with the results.

We were in the process of getting to the painting stages; we needed stuff to happen quick, but also be top quality work. Within a day, TopKote had a great crew come in and knock out the project quick. The final project turned out amazing with their help. Workers and Owner were all very friendly, and accommodating to everything that we needed and were looking for. Easy to get in contact with them, before, during, and after the project. Highly recommended. Great price and even better work.

Rescheduled appointment number two for the following week and ghosted again. For the life of me, I can't understand why businesses think this is an acceptable practice. It not only loses potential customers, but it sours their reputation in the community and decreases future business volume.

Bad company. Bad Communication. Stay Away!…read more I had an estimate scheduled for 8 AM on October 10, 2022, and no one showed. I called at 8:10 AM with no answer so I left them a voicemail. I called them again on October 13, 2022, to just clarify and get things straight as I did not want to leave a bad review. An hour after I left the voicemail, I receive a call from the owner (Brett Shaw). He began talking to me very aggressively. He proceeds to tell me that he thought my inquiry was a joke which is why he never responded to my messages or showed up. My request was for trim work and baseboards to be painted in my bathrooms but also stated that if this project is too small that other jobs could be done as well. As a consumer, it is not my job to know the expenses or the prices of this company. I was looking for an estimate while trying to support a local company. Brett has since responded to my review on Google calling me a scam and a liar. I do not appreciate his actions or business practices. Overall, I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and even put on my Google review "Would love for them to get in touch so I can change my review and support a local business". Cannot encourage customers enough to stay away from this company.

Their crews were the most professional of all of the subcontractors we worked with throughout this project. They were always exactly on time, cleaned the areas that they worked in, and were professional and polite. The painting crew did an immaculate job.

I will definitely call this company when starting the next project. So impressed! Thank you.

I didn't feel any pressure from him and genuinely felt that he cared about providing the best service, not just getting my business. I saved money on my project that I was able to use elsewhere. He also fit me into his busy schedule to meet my timeline. The same week, Josh from Second Street Painting came by and completed the project. He was so polite and did a wonderful job. I appreciated his attention to detail and could tell that he took pride in his work. He also patched a hole and blended it so well that I forgot it was even there! The loft looks amazing. I was so pleased with the project that I have already recommended Second Street Painting to my friends. I will definitely call them in the future for all my painting and drywall projects! Thanks, Nate and Josh!
