He offered a fair and very reasonable price for the entire job. Ray and David were prompt at the time they said they'd arrive. Ray pointed out yellowing in one of the bathroom ceilings and since I had the ceiling paint in the condo already, he offered to add this to the job without extra charge. David brought one other team member with him and they were exceptional. Very professional, super friendly, and clearly took significant pride in their work. David checked in with us periodically to make sure that everything was exactly to our specifications. He was even done an hour early! Ray came back at the end to make sure everything was good to go. I am so grateful for Ray and his team because now I can keep prepping for baby's arrival and not worry about these half finished bathrooms.

My wife and I were pressed for time and needed our newly purchased 2 bedroom condo to be painted within a 2 day window of time. Courtney came by shortly after I had cold-called him and provided a very reasonable estimate. He purchased the paint we requested that same evening and arrived the very next morning at 8am to begin the job. He and his colleague, Jesse, finished most of the work in one day and they returned bright and early the next day to complete the job in a few more hours. Both of these gentlemen are excellent painters and our home has been improved dramatically! Moreover, the actual paint that Courtney provided was of superior quality and the workmanship was top notch. My wife and I remain very impressed and extremely grateful. Courtney and Jesse are honest, reliable, personable, and by far the best painting crew I've ever encountered. I strongly recommend that you give them a try; you will not be disappointed! read more

We used Courtney's services Feb 2013 from a CL ad and we couldn't have been more happy w/ his work. He was responsive with his quote, which was for labor only and the estimated time of work. We provided the paint however Courtney did trim work and quickly contacted us for a follow up as he was worried w/ the cheap menards paint we purchased. He was 100% correct after we observed in person. Courtney provided his opinion on and option, gave us fair pricing on the new SW paint, and the house was done in 2 days. It looked like a new, move in ready house. Honesty and integrity are so important and this young man provided it 100%. If we still lived in MN we would use his services w/o reservation. Highly recommended!! read more

I highly recommend Sidekick Painting! My first phone call with Courtney was friendly and straightforward. The communication throughout on cost, time frame, and paint colors continued to be excellent. Aaron came to my home in St. Paul on time, and was professional, clean, and efficient. He was especially patient with my 5 year old who was so interested in his work and asked many, many questions (Sorry and Thanks Aaron!). The work was beautiful, and in the end, everything was cleaned up and thrown away off premises (plastic, tarps, tape etc.) Courtney followed up the next day to make sure we were satisfied with the job. I would recommend these guys to anyone. read more

I cannot rate Courtney highly enough. I chatted with him as he was working on my neighbor's house and they told me how great he is. He's very quick to respond to emails/texts and answer questions. When he came through, his quote for the painting and the minor drywall repair I needed was very reasonable, and his work was great. One room used a very bright color, and when viewed in the daylight, needed an additional coat. He came back very quickly and painted it to perfection. You will definitely be happy with Courtney! He's a great painter and a wonderful person! read more

I was watching master craftspeople discover and repair irregularities in the dry wall, preparing areas they knew would be tricky.
