The team: The painters who work for Matt are professional, quiet, clean and most of all highly meticulous and talented. The quality: Amazing. Our project included a ton of enameling. I have seen poor enameling jobs and realized how important it was to hire a painter who really understood proper enamel application. The painters take their time to prep all the surfaces, they use high quality products and they take their time with the actual application. The lines are clean, the strokes are smooth and the edges are crisp. There was a strong attention to detail and they were very serious about their work. The owner: Matt is a great guy and part of what makes the process so easy. He's easy to work with, honest and has very reasonable prices. We have had M Carlson Painting back since the completion of our home to change some colors and do some additional work and have had the same positive experience. I highly recommend them to anybody who values quality and honesty.

Our experience with M. Carlson was defined by poor communication, inconsistent workmanship, and a…read morelack of project management from start to finish. The project got off to a bad start. Meetings with the color consultant weren't properly coordinated, color instructions weren't communicated to the crew, and paint availability wasn't confirmed before work began. We were told two rooms would be completed first so we could continue working from home, yet after two weeks those rooms still weren't finished, leaving both of us displaced from our offices. Communication Communication between the project manager, color consultant, crew lead, and painters was consistently poor. Rooms were painted before repairs were completed, vents were painted despite being told not to, and repairs we had specifically paid for were ignored because the crew was never informed they were included in the contract. During the estimate, we were given a checklist covering the various phases of the project, which made the company appear organized and professional. We later learned those checklists were apparently not being utilized. We had to repeatedly chase down the original project manager and escalate the issue just to get a pre-project meeting. Despite asking multiple times, he could not provide us with a clear schedule or even the order in which rooms would be completed during the first week. Quality Quality control was extremely disappointing. Nearly every room required multiple rounds of rework due to visible patches, dents, sloppy painting, and unfinished repairs. Even their own project manager routinely identified rooms as incomplete, yet the crew continued moving on to new rooms instead of finishing the existing ones. We ultimately requested that the original crew be removed because both the quality and productivity were unacceptable. Instead of M. Carlson managing the project, my wife and I spent hours every day supervising the crew, documenting issues, and meeting with the project manager. What was supposed to be a convenient professional service became a major disruption to our work and home life. The crew also repeatedly left and re-entered the house throughout the day, sometimes as many as 43 times. Bait and Switch Before signing the contract, we were assured that problem areas--including stair patches, bathroom water damage, and cracks around windows and doors--would be addressed. After work began, we were told that many of these issues either couldn't be fixed or were outside the scope of work. It felt like the promises made during the sales process changed once the contract was signed. Promises Made Were Not Promises Kept Interactions with management made matters worse. We were essentially told to accept the results because our home wasn't a multi-million-dollar property and that we should only expect "fresh paint," despite paying for wall repairs and premium services. We also received inaccurate explanations about paint products and encountered attempts to charge us for work that was included in the original estimate. Safety and Damages Safety was also a serious concern. At one point, a stair handrail was reinstalled using only two screws instead of its proper mounting brackets. This created a hazardous situation in which my pregnant wife nearly fell. The crew also damaged the ceiling in the stairwell, and M. Carlson would not accept responsibility. Their own checklist states that before-and-after photos should be taken, which should have provided an easy way to determine whether the damage existed beforehand. Take the Money and Run M. Carlson repeatedly asked us for a fresh start and the opportunity to prove they could finish the job properly. Then, without any meaningful communication with us, they packed up and left. Hours later, we received an email stating they would not be completing the project. That communication did not address the financial situation. We had paid 50% up front, yet the project was nowhere near 50% complete--and that doesn't account for the ceiling damage, unsafe handrail, or extensive rework that remained. Overall, this felt like a budget-quality paint job sold at a premium price. The poor communication, inconsistent craftsmanship, repeated rework, broken expectations, safety concerns, and constant need for homeowner oversight made this one of the most frustrating contractor experiences we've had. Why hire M. Carlson when the company appears to function primarily as a sales organization that subcontracts the actual painting work, yet fails to adequately manage the quality, communication, and pace of that work?

What Andrew's crew was able to do with our cedar deck was nothing short of a miracle! We have a two…read moreyear old deck that was destroyed by a cheap deck staining company we took a flyer on when we first had the deck built. All the wood was chewed up from overly aggressive pressure washing and there were drip marks everywhere. And a lot of the stain was peeling and flaking. Our deck literally looked like a 20-year old deck when it was only two years old! I contacted two companies to get bids. The first company recommended stripping, sanding, and staining the deck. The second company was Andrew's company, Durapro Painting. When Andrew came out he recommended we only sand and stain. He was confident his crew could make the deck look new again without going through the hassle (and additional expense) of stripping it down with chemicals. The deck looked so bad that I was leery they could make it look new with just sanding and staining. Plus, Andrew's bid was $500 more than the guy who was going to do al l three - strip, sand, and stain. Andrew was easy to talk to, very professional, and really seemed to know his stuff. But what really stood out was when he told me his crew would work on this deck as if it was his own. In other words, they would strive for perfection on this deck. I rolled the dice and went with him even though he was a little more expensive. I'm glad I did! Andrew's crew was amazing. They were very nice, very professional, and unbelievably thorough. They literally dismantled all the railings on my deck so they could hand sand every square inch. They spent almost an entire week (up to 8 hours a day sometimes) just sanding the entire deck. They sanded my deck like it was a fine piece of furniture. It was pretty amazing to watch. They were just as careful and thorough when they applied the stain. They ended up putting on two coats to make sure the color was perfectly even everywhere and to really make the deck pop. The amazing thing was I couldn't find a single drip mark anywhere and this is a pretty large deck. To be able to apply two coats of stain on a large deck without any drip marks is pretty remarkable. Our deck looks brand new! We're thrilled because until we talked to Andrew we were contemplating replacing the deck with maintenance-free decking which would have cost thousands of dollars. Andrew saved us a ton of money and now we have an awesome looking deck. If the deck looks this good a year from now, I'll definitely be hiring Andrew again to restain it when it needs it.
