I had a custom paint job done at my home by Stephens Painting and I'm very pleased with the results. Their team was efficient and professional throughout. When the owner came out to inspect the work, she proactively had her crew return for some touch-ups to make everything perfect. They left my home spotless, and I was so impressed that I even tipped a couple of the guys who went above and beyond with extra details I didn't even request. Highly recommend Stephens Painting! read more

EDIT 7/15: The owner reached out to me requesting I take down my review, which in my opinion, is a huge red flag and has downgraded my score from 2/5 stars to 1/5 stars. My review on google has been hidden from public view, so I assume the company flagged it to be hidden. EDIT: These photos show the issues I experienced throughout the project. I've added more photos showing the remaining problems after the work was completed. The exterior is now mostly acceptable. We hired Stephens Painting to paint the exterior of our home and had a very mixed experience. Before the painting even started, the owner sent her son, along with a 16-year-old worker, to pressure wash the property. My patio cover was not pressure washed, but I was told it had been. After I showed the owner photos demonstrating that it had not been washed, she told me that her son would never inherit the company because of what had happened. I found it inappropriate to be drawn into internal family and employment matters as a customer. The biggest issue involved our brand-new front door. The paint repeatedly failed because the factory primer had not been properly prepared before painting. The door ultimately had to be stripped, sanded, and reprimed. Even after that, the team was unable to achieve an acceptable finish despite at least four additional attempts. At their request, I purchased a steel door because they did not want to paint a fiberglass door. I informed them that it was factory primed. When the paint failed, I was told by the owner that I had said the door was primed. However, determining the proper preparation procedures for a factory-finished surface is the responsibility of the painting contractor, not the homeowner. I was also advised that if I purchased another door, I "shouldn't paint it" because it "has trouble taking paint." The manufacturer's instructions require the door to be sanded before painting and painted within 45 days to maintain the warranty. That step was not performed before the initial paint application. The door now has scratched glass and significant texture defects, and we have decided to replace it and have the new door painted by another company. They also painted the vinyl door frame after I had specifically requested in writing that it not be painted. During the process, they removed the vinyl cover and cracked the brand-new exterior trim. Although they repaired it with wood filler and the repair is acceptable, it was another example of a lack of attention to detail. There were also numerous overspray issues. White trim paint was sprayed onto the dark body of the house multiple times, requiring repeated repainting. Front door paint was oversprayed onto my interior walls, and the repairs were not completed to an acceptable standard. My entryway walls were also scratched. For one interior wall, I clearly specified eggshell for the wall and semi-gloss for the trim. I even labeled the paint cans I supplied, yet the sheens were reversed. While working inside my home, they did not adequately protect my belongings and got paint on my couch and an irreplaceable ottoman. The paint was wiped off, but the damage remained noticeable. We also experienced issues with the dark exterior paint, including noticeable flashing and numerous missed spots. To their credit, they returned multiple times to address the problems, and the exterior paint is now mostly acceptable. Ultimately, I now have to hire another company to paint a new front door, repaint the damaged interior walls and trim, and finish the exterior door trim. Communication throughout the project was inconsistent and unprofessional, requiring extensive discussions, multiple site visits, and ultimately a settlement agreement. At one point, I was also told that employees' pay might be affected because of the situation, which made me uncomfortable. I don't believe customers should be placed in the middle of internal employment matters. I appreciate that the company made repeated efforts to address the issues, but I believe many of these problems could have been avoided with better surface preparation, quality control, and communication from the beginning. Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone considering this company to carefully inspect the work throughout the project, especially on specialty surfaces and when using dark paint colors. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! We are returning customers to Stephens Painting and wouldn't use anyone else . We take great pride in our home . I don't give out referrals unless I 100% stand behind them and this is a 100% referral. From start to finish Kelli and her crew are extremely professional and very detailed . Our job was followed through until the end without any issues and on the last day Kelli came out and did a personal walk over with me . Who does that ?! A woman that takes pride in her business and stands behind her word and employees . Our home is refreshed and beautiful again at an amazing price thanks to Stephens Painting. We rate them with 10 stars! read more

Sorry but i would not recommend this company. Sloppy work, they brought two tarps to paint my whole house, spilt, paint, several different times while working on my house that I had to watch them clean up with Gooby gone spray on my wood floors, Miss spots on the walls, wrong paint, color than what I asked for, Super disappointing felt like I had to babysit, showed up three different times for two hours, while the owner is a very nice lady, and tried to appease me, we just couldn't come to an agreement on work ethic so I had to let them go. I couldn't handle how stressed out the whole experience was making me. Do not recommend. My new painters did a wonderful job!! read more

Stephen's Painting just finished painting some of the cabinets in our 5th wheel. We are very pleased with their work. They showed up on time, let us know when they would be back, and were very respectful. I love the color that Kelli recommended. I would highly recommend them. Vicky and Jim read more

They don't return phones calls, texts or emails. I am very disappointed. I received a quote after a few weeks. I even wanted to move forward with the job since their reviews were all 5 stars. I don't know what's happened but this company just doesn't want new customers. read more

They painted the outside of our house and did an amazing job. Prep work, attention to detail and professionalism was amazing. read more

Stephens Painting just finished the complete exterior paint on my upscale house. This is the fourth time that I had them do painting, interior and exterior, on my house. They always showed up on time, when promised. Their staff is very professional and does very good work. One way to judge a company like this is, how long have their employees been with them. When I first hired them nine years ago, they had the same employee, who even remembered my house and what they painted. I would definitely recommend them and contract with them again in the future. I almost forgot to mention, the owner, Kelli Stephens, She returned my calls, helped me decide on colors, and kept me informed on scheduling. read more

Great job, fair price and nice people. They did a great job on the interior of my home at a fair price. In addition, Kelli spent time with me recommending paint colors and design . She and her crew were friendly, very professional and efficient. I will recommend them to anyone. read more

This company saved us from a horrible, unfinished paint job we'd had a different painter in town "complete" on our house. Stephens painting gave us a fair estimate, brought all the necessary tools & tarps to cover up areas while they worked, & completed the job in a timely manner. We are very pleased with the finished job this company did on our house! Thankful they could come to the rescue! read more
