I can't say enough about Elco Painting. Ken was absolutely terrific and timely as to getting me a quote: to paint my two bedrooms including trim, walls and ceiling. Being pleased with the $$$ quote ... I scheduled a go-ahead for Spring 2019. Larry & Jesse, the two painters who came to my home were thoughtful & professional!!! (They put up with my mischievous cat too! ) The prep work was thorough; cleaned the walls, patched, sanded & then painted. THE ROOMS LOOK SPECTACULAR; fresh & clean!! I am so HAPPY !! THANKS GUYS!!! read more

An excellent experience with all aspects of the company being friendly and professional. We had everything painted from the ceilings to the walls, and also the trim and doors. They were very meticulous in surface preparations and repairs. We were living here during the whole process, and they were extremely considerate in keeping the home livable. Des and Tim were our painters and we cannot say enough good things in regard to the team. Outstanding job, and would not hesitate to recommend their services. read more

In mid-November, Elco Painting was hired to paint several exterior doors and to complete a rather significant interior, residential painting and staining project in the newly renovated part of our home. After six days indoors, we stopped the work upon discovering the workmanship was so horrendous. After our fears and concerns were qualified by professionals, knowledgeable in the painting and staining field, we requested Elco vacate the premises. Some examples of the shoddy workmanship are, multiple stain application misses, mottled and mismatched stain on railings and adjacent woodwork, polyurethane and paint applied over surface debris, stain and polyurethane on all tops and bottoms of the metal balusters of three newly constructed, custom wooden railings, paint and stain on door hinges and adjacent woodwork, paint and stain applied over insufficiently sanded and cleaned wood surfaces, paint drips, orange peel textured painted surfaces, over debris, front door handle part found in the front yard, intact heating baseboards primed for paint, and paint and/or primer on cabinets, door handle/s, new light switches, floors, window glasses, weather stripping, fireplace stone, casings, etc. Additionally, as a consequence of what has occurred here, there are multiple integrity issues with the stained, and debris covered polyurethane sealed, custom built railings and base bullnoses, as well as the garage entry door and stairs. Unfortunately, the list could go on. (Photos and videos are available.) In actuality, none of the surfaces were prepared sufficiently, protected adequately, or painted and stained with care and precision. It has been absolutely heartbreaking and extraordinarily stressful. Every surface needs to be redone. Accordingly, we requested a meeting with the company owner/s. Steven Elliot, Jr., et.al, came to assess and inspect the completed work. We were told, our concerns were valid, but they could/would be remediated, if given a chance. Elco's retort was, the job had not been completed. That may be true of the painted surfaces, but stained surfaces are extremely different. How can the orange opaque faux stain, with sloppily applied polyurethane, on new, hand-picked, beautifully grained wood (which was to be completed with "real" stain) be fully removed and restored? It cannot be. Consequently, the desired/requested woodgrain detail and color can no longer be achieved We did not contract for that, verbally, or in writing. The new wood was to have been stained to match the existing stained wood, throughout the rest of the house. As for the custom railings and kitchen-garage entry door, it has been professionally advised; we replace them because it would be cost prohibitive and fruitless to try to sand to where you might be able to stain darker. Hence, painting was advised, of course that is, if the iron balusters are not compromised when attempting to remove the stain and polyurethane from each of them. If we are now required to paint everything, our total color palette must change. Once again, we will have to begin the arduous, timely and costly task of a redesign plan. Elco has refused to reimburse any of our $8,500.00 downpayment, or pay for any of the remediation and cleaning costs. We were informed by their foreman, Chris Anderson, we would be financially responsible for the remediation, if they returned. How egregious is that? Additionally, the foreman added, "We can't satisfy you." You may want to go elsewhere (paraphrase). Regardless, I requested a breakdown and an estimate from Elco for the remediation and job completion. We never heard back from them. Is a company whose owners' renege on their offer to fix their own "workmanship issues", trustworthy? It is my contention; we should never have had such low-quality workmanship, and disregard for the integrity of our home, from the outset. If the job hadn't been stopped after six days, I cannot imagine what we may have been left with. We were so happy when we hired this company to complete our work. Now by contrast, when I think about having them return, I feel mentally distressed and physically ill. We have lost every bit of confidence and trust in their integrity and ability to do fine work. Although the cost of contracting a new painting company is going to set us back a significant amount of retirement money (in the range of $23,000-$25,000 per actual contractor estimates for remediation and completion), we cannot continue to live this nightmare. We have to move on, in order to reclaim our long-disrupted lives. We regret, we cannot recommend this company to others who are looking for quality workmanship. read more

Elco did a fabulous job on woodwork, power washing and painting the exterior of my entire two-story colonial. The team took their time with the extensive painting prep work, laying the foundation for a fantastic paint job. With every aspect of the work, they were fastidious and professional. I am so pleased and cannot recommend them enough. I got more than money's worth. (Submitted on behalf of my mom who doesn't use computers :) She's in Warwick, RI.) read more

I would like to thank Elco for doing an outstanding job painting all the ceilings in my house. It started off with a very professional appraisal with everything detailed in writing. I would like to give special thanks to Ricky and Bethany the two painters that did an outstanding job regarding all the painting on the ceilings. They were meticulous with all the work they did, especially where they cut the edges of the ceiling to the wall. It looks absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for an outstanding job, and I would highly recommend Elco to everyone that needs professional painting done on their homes. read more

We are so pleased with the work ELCO did for us, they prepped, primed and painted all the unfinished trim in our home along with all the interior doors along with the hallway and family room ceilings and walls. From our quote with Kenny to the efficient work of Hector and team I have no complaints and wish we had hired them a few years ago when we contemplated doing this job ourselves. The team was reliable, thorough, friendly and showed pride in their work. This won't be the last time ELCO helps to transform our home. read more

Elco did a wonderful job for me. on time and very professional I will definitely use them for any more of my painting projects.

ELCO did a phenomenal job. Scheduling an estimate appointment was simple and quick, and they were able to come out for the job in no time at all. We had them paint a living room, 3 bedrooms, and a stairway. The painter was professional, courteous, and cleaned up every day after finishing. The final result was well worth the cost of having someone paint for us. Highly recommend! read more

Elco has done three jobs for us over the past several years (porch painting, entire house painting, and several interior rooms), and my wife and I been very impressed by their professionalism and the quality of their work. They arrived on schedule, finished on schedule, and were easy to work with throughout the process. Perhaps most impressive was the painters' attention to detail. Previous painters in our house had been quite sloppy, so Elco's excellent trim work, clean paint lines, etc., really made a difference. They rarely miss anything, and when they do, they happily fix it, even if it requires multiple touch ups. We were particularly impressed with the most recent job, which they scheduled on short notice and completed in record time in order to have a guest room ready for visitors. The owner, Steve, even stopped by several times to check on the work. It's certainly possible to find a painting company that charges less than Elco, but in our experience, we really got what we paid for with them. I highly recommend them. read more

Was able to schedule me the same week for a paint job of the entire interior of my condo. Completed the job in three days and was in and out while I was at work. The paint looked beautiful. When I had an issue with the paint in the bathroom running because I didn't use the vent, they came back and repainted it for me. I would highly recommend. read more

Elco just finished painting our home and shed. What a professional group of meticulous workers! Ken Elliott oversaw this project, and came on site several times. Because our home was built prior to 1978, we had layers of lead paint on some of the shingles. The team painstakingly removed the peeling paint, all within the letter of the lead paint laws. Quite impressive! Emilio and Edgar are painters who are perfectionists. They painted our home as if it were their own home, always communicating with us to make sure we were satisfied. We could see the pride in their eyes. The crew arrived on time every day, and completed the job as stated. The grounds were cleaned each night, and they respected our home and privacy. It was obvious that Emilio and Edgar were happy to come to work every day, and this speaks volumes about Elco! Give them a call...you won't be disappointed! read more

Scheduled an appointment to have someone come to my house to get an estimate on painting several rooms. They never showed up and didn't call. They must have so much business they can afford to blow people off. read more

They'll promise whatever you want to hear but don't count on them coming through. Job was started late and finished even later. Even then, there were areas that needed to be redone. Biggest problem is they sub out their work and then pawn responsibility to that painter. To say professionalism is lacking is an understatement. read more

I had someone come out to look at our deck. It was previously stained by a different company that did a terrible job. I was given my options and told I would receive an estimate. I called the office several times and each time they would say they couldn't get in contact with the person who came to my house. I would have preferred if they said they didn't want the job because someone else had started than have me call multiple times. I would not refer for that reason. read more

Terrible company. Hired by our condo association to paint he exterior of the condo. They sand blasted to remove the old paint. In doing so the ruined 2 windows and a storm door. When a representative from Elco was confronted he agreed the windows need to be replaced. That was over 6 months ago and they still haven't repaired the damage. Since they have been fired by the condo association for the horrible job done on the paint, they no longer returns my calls. read more

great job, professional workers, everything was clean and neat, would have them do more work in the future
