Competent, respectful, kept me informed of every detail, no matter how small. Integrity was such that I left my house unlocked, even when not home, to let his crew use a bathroom. I was very ill during the job and he and his crew were very considerate. Underbid a high-end firm in Albany by $2000. I may have some interior painting coming up and I would have no hesitation in calling upon his services again. read more

Had the pleasure of working with Ethan on our home exterior painting. The entire process was painless and straight forward. Ethan was forthcoming, sincere, honest and professional. He and his crew shows great pride with their work and are respectful of our home. We had to complete a change order as some rot was found. It was resolved timely and reasonably which ensured in moving the project along smoothly. We are very happy with the final result of the work and have already received compliments from neighbors. We are also very happy with Ethan and his crew and will happily recommend them for any painting project you are working on. read more

Ethan and crew did an excellent job! Ethan's quote was very reasonable, and I was extremely pleased with the results. They completed all the work I needed in a timely manner. Very tidy, too! Part of the work included a difficult match to existing finish and I can't tell which is old and which is new. Looks fabulous! read more

We have worked with several painters over the years and Ethan was by far the best we have ever hired. We used him for a week long painting project and we were thrilled with the results. He has a great demeanor and explains everything very well without over-explaining and wasting time. He also checks with you and demonstrates all your options in a way that makes you feel like you have all the information you need and have complete control of the process. That is a very comfortable feeling compared to what I've grown accustomed to with many other contractors. He was punctual, unobtrusive, efficient and cleaned up better than any contractor (painter or otherwise) we have ever used. His actual work was top-notch. If you want a painting job done the right way Ethan is your guy. read more

I was lucky to find this company. I bought a condo and it really needed painting. Ethan and Scott did a fantastic job. Not only did they paint, they repaired all the trim and stained the beautiful wood doors that were just bare. They also advised me of some other repairs that are needed. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Ethan did a couple projects for us. The first involved staining a new cedar fence. The second involved refinishing our front doors, which had been badly damaged by weather. Ethan Darcey Painting came highly recommended to us by a colleague. Ethan came out to our house to bid the jobs and in the process provided us with a great deal of insight and information on different approaches to accomplish what we needed. He was patient and informative in helping us understand what was best for our specific situation. Within a day he provided us with complete bids which included a range of alternatives. He began work shortly after we accepted his bid. He was at the house promptly at 8:00 each morning and rarely left before 5 or 6 pm. When he was done each day he cleaned up so well one would not have known he had been there. His work was perfect. He took great care to work the stain into the grain of the fence boards and into all the nooks and crannies, to ensure weather protection for years to come. As a result, water simply beads off the fence and we are confident it will remain new looking for many years. We were so impressed with his work on our fence that we asked him to refinish our front doors, which had bee badly damaged by weather over the years. They are solid, heavy, fir doors and would require a great deal of care to refinish them. He removed each door and stripped and sanded it on site. He applied multiple coats of finish and other protectants and now they look better than new and the finish is silky smooth. Before commencing work he consulted carefully with us to ensure selection of the right stain. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. We highly recommend Ethan. He is an excellent painter, is very competitively priced and his work ethic and conscientiousness is unparalleled. You will not go wrong hiring this energetic, highly-skilled young man. We will certainly be calling him for our future painting and staining needs. read more

Our upstairs shower leaked through the ceiling over our kitchen, which required plumbing, sheet rock and paint repairs. After a great recommendation from a trusted friend, we hired Ethan to repaint the great room ceiling and the bedroom where the plumber had to gain access to the plumbing. Ethan did an amazing job! He and his assistant Scott primed and then rolled and brushed both the big ceiling and the bedroom. They carefully covered and protected the furniture and etc. that could not be moved out of the rooms. Once the painting was done you would have never known they were here. We are so please with the outcome and fresh, new paint colors. Ethan was punctual, respectful, and very informative. We would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him! read more

Cannot say enough good things! Ethan and Scott are such a great team. They were thorough, efficient, on time, and did such a gorgeous job. Communication always went smoothly and they made sure to explain our options and made excellent suggestions! They painted the interior of our home- walls, ceilings, kitchen cabinets, doors, trim and baseboards... we are in love with our home now!!! I've been telling everyone about them and they'll be the first we call for future projects. Thanks guys! read more

Ethan is kind, professional, and overall great to work with. He just painted two interior rooms for us and we are thrilled with the results. He is quick, responsive, respectful, and his prices are reasonable. He left the rooms looking better than when he started. He is very aware and cautious with the COVID situation -- masked the entire time and willing to respect any of our wishes as far as precaution goes. Would definitely recommend -- we will be having Ethan back for our next project! read more

We selected Ethan to paint our house based on his previous good reviews. He did not disappoint. He did a very thorough job of preparation, scraping, caulking, and sealing where necessary. He applied primer and 2 coats of high quality paint. He did a wonderful job of masking and used drop cloths to insure that paint only went where it was supposed to. It was not an easy job. We have a large house, 2 stories on three sides, and a lot of high ladder work was required. The house looks great and we get a lot of compliments from neighbors. Ethan is very hard working and conscientious, and always kept us informed of what he was doing and his progress. He is courteous and respectful. I highly recommend his service. read more
