Andrew and Mason renovated my deck last fall and did a super job so I asked for a quote this spring…read moreon additional odd painting jobs, both inside and out. Andrew promptly responded giving me a reasonable quote and setting expectations on the timeline. He itemized each of the different tasks and we discussed everything in detail. He provided a copy of the bid, to which I agreed. He told me when to expect a call to start work and he was true to his word. I've worked with my share of contractors over the years who are good at their trade but bad on the business side (like communication, showing up when promised and finishing up on time), so it's refreshing to have someone who's good at both their trade and business. Andrew started with the tricky task of installing the closet handles I had ordered for five sets of closets in two of our bedrooms. We have a 75-year-old house in the Dillon-Fairacres neighborhood and like most old houses things aren't square. The old handles were too small and too close to the opening so he drilled new holes and put in wood filler where the old holes were, and then primed the holes so they were ready for painting (I had the paint on hand to use the next day). Andrew used a laser level so he could accurately put the holes in the exact right places from door-to-door and then he installed the new handles. It's level across all the closets now, which it wasn't before, and is such a great upgrade from what we had. I am really pleased with the overall new look. Inside, he also did some touch-up painting on nicks made over time on some of our antique white and dove white baseboards as well as with other trim in our stairwell. I asked him to prime/paint it with the old cotton q-tip painter's trick and it looks perfect. Next, he worked on the awning we have over our front door with sidelights. We had the awning custom-made years back and it works great to shield the door from the morning sun and UV rays. The Sunbrella fabric was still strong but faded and discolored; the frame for it was scuffed where I had ignorantly hung some hanging plants. I tried contacting the company who had made and installed it for us but they are now out of business. Andrew provided some guidance on finding some "fabric paint" of my choice online which I had no idea was an option. Turns out there is such a thing and that it's strong enough to be used on boats. He found a paint match for the metal frame and again I was thrilled at how he rejuvenated a part of our old house. He also cleaned up and painted the bottom part of our foundation behind a set of seven boxwood shrubs which had inadvertently been left unpainted down low when we added a new garage onto our house. It didn't stand out too awfully much but I knew it was there and it bugged me. I'm particular about my boxwoods in a Martha Stewart sort of way, lol, and I didn't want to ruin the "cloud" look each of them have. Because they are not grown as hedges, there are openings between them so that unpainted portion shows if you look. I trimmed them earlier and my husband tied them back but it was still a tight squeeze, so kudos to Andrew for working in that teeny space. A big thumbs up to Two Men and a Brush who I highly recommend (and I'm picky)!

After having our garage reinsulated, we needed new drywall. We got 3 bids, two companies came back…read morewith the same price (Holsten being one of those two) and the 3rd company came back with a much higher price. One of the reasons we loved Holsten was their ability to schedule the job quickly and their punctuality. We have done enough projects to know that finding a contractor who A) responds to messages in a timely manner and B) shows up to the do the work on time, can be hard to find. When Holsten came out to do the bid, they were 15 minutes early and on the 3 days they came out to do the work, they arrived exactly on time or slightly early of the start time. The crew did a great job containing the dust by putting up plastic partitions and limiting the mess where they could. We will absolutely use them again.

This was the single worst experience we encountered during our home renovation, and the largest…read morescam of a company we have ever come across. We hired Bright Happy Painting to paint our entire home interior, including all new trim, doors, and windows. The man in charge made a positive impression upon meeting him, and offered a very reasonable bid initially. However, our bid increased by thousands once he had already moved his equipment and amateur painting team into the house. He claimed he was given a false impression of what the job entailed, which led to the bid increasing by $2650. Our complaint is not the bid increase so much as it is the VERY poor painting quality of work that was performed. Not only did this company cost us several thousands of dollars in paying them for their poor work, but also over a thousand in paint and primer costs followed by the even higher cost of re-painting everything they destroyed and not to mention time. Shortcuts were taken everywhere we looked. It appeared that the trim and door hinges were not taped off. We have spent several hours trying to remove the paint from the hinges, which turned out to be destroyed. White trim paint is on the wall in more places then not. Not a single window was opened to paint the frame fully. So once opened, the windows were half white and half wood-colored. Several areas appeared to be unprimed. The walls had drips of paint everywhere with uneven coverage, bubbles, and orange peel texture. There was trim in multiple places not even painted white at all (only primed as was when we purchased it) and definitely not caulked well. Also, our screen doors will need to be replaced and new windows scraped due to messy paint splatter in numerous spots. Additionally, tremendous time was spent scraping and cleaning paint off the black wrought iron stair spindles, the sink, wall and floor tile. The least of my concerns yet still unprofessional were the cigarettes and disposable gloves found thrown in the front yard. I write this review not out of spite, but rather to save someone else from experiencing the same distress we have gone through. The new painters we ended up hiring were amazing to even take on the job of fixing everything that Bright Happy Painting destroyed. It was a tremendous job, as everything had to be sanded down, re-caulked and of course re-painted. The second set of painters have been painting for nearly 30 years, and claimed this was the worst paint job they had ever seen.
