    It was a long and arduous journey, mostly because of supply chain delays outside of MacFarland's control, but in the end the team (John, Steve, Josh) pulled out all the stops and came through with a high quality project which included a home exterior painting as well as a complete rebuild of our back patio/deck.

    This is the way my salon suite was left. Smh

    I hired Macfarland painting to come In and paint my salon suite. I was looking for a painter that offered limewash paint services I originally spoke with sales manager josh who informed me that their company could do the job I was looking for and stated that he would be giving this task to his speciality painter. I sent pictures of what I was looking for along with a color scheme and was told that the paint would be included considering they had a account with Sherwin Williams. Upon arrival I was told by Alex that she could paint my room exactly like the picture. When the job was complete the color scheme was incorrect. It was too light and it looked like the original color I started with. Nor did I sign off on the color before she started. She stated to my mother that when the paint dried it would dry darker and if it was not to my standards she would come back and put another coat on it. The next morning when I got to my suite it hadn't dried any darker. I followed protocol as listed on their site that if you're not pleased with the service to contact the office within a certain amount of days. I called the next morning informing them that the color did not dry to my liking and I wanted her to come back with a darker paint. She agreed at no charge. The second time she was scheduled to come out I offered to go and pick out the paint myself to make sure that we had the correct color. She responded that she was all set with the paint so I trusted her to deliver. Not only did the second time come out worse the color scheme was still incorrect. It was much darker. I never once asked for a 2 tone wall. She applied paint on top of paint and left me with a tacky sloppy finish. Again I was not satisfied so I reached out again requesting a refund. The company was not willing to refund my money instead they wanted to send her out a third time to try and get it fixed. Against my wishes I allowed her to come in a 3rd time to see what could be done considering I had already paid them $1000 for this job. The 3rd time she was scheduled to return they then told me to go and pick out my paint to assure it was correct. Before she even arrived I asked her would she be re priming the walls to start fresh because it would be impossible to get a true color of what the new paint looked like. She told me she did not have time to start fresh all she was able to do was paint over what was already done with a sample and if I did not like it I would have to contact the company. As I expected the darker color showed through and I was still not pleased with the service. I reached out several times by phone requesting to speak with a manager and even sent emails and no respond.... I then reached out again stating that if I hadn't heard back and they are not willing to issue me a refund that I will move forward with legal litigation for this awful service that I received. Josh then reached out staying that all he was able to do was send in a new painter to paint the walls a solid color and I refused because that's not what I initially paid for. I paid for a specific job to be done and if the job could not be completed then this company should not have accepted. I chose this company based on their reviews which seemed like they provided quality service. It's unfortunate that my experience wasn't so pleasant. I haven't even been able to take clients in my suite because of how hideous it looks. Something that started off so exciting for me has turned into a nightmare. I am a small business owner pouring every dollar into my business and just don't have thousands of dollars to throw away especially for a terrible job. No one in their right mind would walk away and accept what they left me with. 0 stars for this company.

    We had our maple cabinets painted by MacFarland Painting in June of 2020. Everything about the process was easy from the beginning to the end. Danielle explained the process and answered our questions along the way. Their quote was not the highest and not the lowest. They paint the cabinet doors and drawer fronts in their shop which I appreciate. Another company wanted to paint them in our garage. I thought it was important for them to be painted off site where the dust could be managed as opposed to our garage. The finish turned out beautifully. The day before the job started a gentleman from the company called and explained the entire series of events for the following week. We did our part and cleaned them and took the contents out. John and Justin showed up on time and worked hard. Justin showed up the following day and Friday and was hard working and friendly.He went above and beyond in the service he provided.

    I hired Macfarland Painting for an exterior paint job after receiving 6 other quotes. The reason I went with this company because of the detailed quote that was provided along with their credentials. However, I regret my decision based on several issues. First, the day the worker came to power wash my home I would learn that several obvious areas were missed during my initial quote and my new price would increase by $500. Though not happy I went ahead and agreed to the new price and work begin 2 days later (delayed due to rain). On the 2nd day I was informed that the shutters I wanted painted could not be due to the color that was selected. I decided that I would purchase new shutter so, the price was adjusted. The final issue I had is with the final outcome of my paint job. One the 3rd day of painting the painters "completed" my job but I was unaware until I received the final bill. At this point I contacted the company and was informed the job was complete. This is when I informed the receptionist that I was under the impression the workers would come back to touch up areas that were missed. The next day a worker came out to "correct" the area of concern but, basically told me it was a waste of time due to the condition of the wood trim. I could accept this if I was informed ahead of time that the condition of the wood would not allow for it to be painted. However, during my initial contact with this company I mentioned that I wanted all damaged wood replaced and all the wood trim painted along with the doors and shutters. I was also informed that the paint job would probably last approximately 3 years AFTER the job was completed. My whole issue with this company is I feel that if there was an issue discovered during the initial stages of you painting my home I should have been informed so that I could have made a decision how to move forward before the job was completed (I was told the areas of concern could be corrected to my satisfaction at a cost). Maybe if I was informed that the wood was not salvageable, I would have had it replace! But, of course not after the job is "complete", Needless to say I am very unhappy with the final product from this company and am going to be looking at having it redo in the Spring!

    Want drywall work done correctly, in a timely manner, and at a reasonable price? Chuck is your guy…read more In short, I had water damage from an 2nd floor condo from her laundry washer that malfunctioned. Under those circumstances, I arranged for 3 quotes. Price important, but quality was the driving factor. I was very impressed with him, personally, as he actually does the work - not a sales person that hasn't actually done the work. His explanation of work required was clear and concise. Based upon other Yelp reviews, I KNEW his quality would be outstanding. A delightful surprise was that his pricing was also very reasonable. Chuck is a true professional. He did a great job and, as a result, has earned my strongest possible recommendation. Well done!

    I was very impressed with the professionalism that I was provided. Everything was very streamlined…read moreand I didn't have to worry. I had a 9am appointment and he arrived at 8:55am with a pen and notepad in his hand. We did a walk through of all the items I wanted a quote on; if he was unable to do what I ask then I'm glad I was notified upfront. He also provided a time frame of the requested work. The quote was sent via email the next business day and he followed up a few days later to see if I wanted the work done. I prefer to pay more through a company instead of someone using YouTube and no skill. He also pointed out a few items I needed to take a look in the future so it doesn't get worst. I honestly appreciate the work and will be using in the future.
