Most recently, he installed porcelain tiling for us in our kitchen and dining room, a pretty large 5-day task. Doug has always been on-time, done flawless work, and charged fair prices. I recommend his services without hesitation. Plus, he's one of the local guys in the Beulah Street corridor. If you're looking for some handyman work in the Kingstowne area, I don't believe you'll find any better than Doug. A+ all the way. Cheers, Ken

We can't recommend them enough! The price was fair, which included high quality paints. I had received four proposals and chose Proper Painting because of their apparent knowledge and, to be honest, nice and neat appearance. Their work stood the test and now we're fans! The work site was kept clean and organized and, at the end of the job, they left the place tidy! The house looks wonderful and makes us smile whenever we look around. We'll definitely call on them again and have recommended them to our friends- something we rarely do. Thanks guys! Gina & Walt

We purchased a rambling mid-50's home in Westgrove which, quite frankly, needed a lot of work…read more Walls needed removing, paint needed replacing and the work needed to be done on a tight timeline and to a high standard. One of my wife's co-workers had hired Proper Painting and Home Improvements to do their similar home and were impressed with the results. My wife hired Dave and his team and they did the job quickly and correctly with an outstanding job on both the interior and exterior paint jobs. The results COMPLETELY changed the look and feel of the house, and, after new flooring went in, they came back and did the final touch up to ensure everything remained tied together. After 8 months, we decided to convert a former utility closet into a wine cellar. It formerly housed a large boiler and fuel tanks and was, to be frank, a disaster. Dave and his team came in, surveyed the requirements and then went to work. Not only did they do the priming and painting, they repaired loose concrete bricks, built a closet for the water heater and then did an outstanding job getting new tile flooring in. Our house is what we want, and it is largely because of Dave and his team.

It is our first home so we have never used a painter before. They were excellent. My wife chose eggshell finish for 3 rooms which turned out awesome. They were very particular and careful with all the walls and extremely affordable. They also recommended an electrician who installed sconces above our bed. The company was very fairly priced, asked all the right questions and were easy to work with. Jen Contracting even did a walk through at the end for any small touch ups before completing the work. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a great contractor!!!!

I got an early Christmas gift from my neighbor when his water heater tank burst and a bunch of…read morewater leaked into my condo unit. It was definitely a stressful situation, but Lee was very helpful and responsive to my questions and requests. Although Lee did not perform the job himself, Ivan and his team came out to repair the drywall and replace the carpet. Ivan was really great - he was courteous and efficient throughout the whole project, which took about 1.5 days to complete. Some highlights were: 1) The crew was able to start working almost immediately after I called Master's Construction. 2) Ivan worked very hard to find the closest match to my existing carpet. It sounded like he was checking out quite a few places until he found someone all the way in Richmond that had our carpet! (FYI, I live in Falls Church.) 3) Ivan ended up re-painting all the walls of my bedroom to ensure that the paint color was consistent throughout. Per my request, he also left behind the remaining bucket of paint so that I can use it again in the future. Thank you for all your help, Ivan and everyone at Master's Construction!

There is a slight premium on the cost, but it's well worth the peace of mind that comes with quality work and professionalism.

As a bonus, the painter they subcontract bigger paint projects to is better than dedicated painting companies we've hired in the past.

I was very satisfied and would recommend them to my friends and family. I also asked for an estimate for re-staining my deck and the price was reasonable.
