We had our nearly purchased home painted throughout and are very disappointed now that we are fully moved in. The work is sloppy, it is obvious corners were cut, and they didn't do what I specifically asked. There is paint on nearly every window, on mirrors, light fixtures, toilets, tubs, stained wood. They clearly did not take off doorknobs, door strikes, or vent covers. They did not take down the blinds brackets which I specifically asked to have done and did a poor job painting around them leaving us the job to take these down and finish painting. The trim and window frame painting was poor with obvious brush marks and the prior paint color showing through. There were at least 50 nails and screws left on carpet. They used the tub to rinse which apparently had been left clogged by the prior owners and didn't even throw that away. I had to scrub the tub to get rid of the paint they didn't rinse enough. I would not recommend them to anyone. See attached photos of the work. read more

It's not often that people are genuine with their businesses anymore but that's not the case with Vince and team. Vince was fantastic to work with. He was quick to respond to emails for a quote, turn around time and project scope. He arrived to our appointment on time and was easy to work with. He quotes at a very competitive price and isn't the type of company to cheat you. His team arrived on time and were very organized and put together. They knew what they needed to do and make sure to confirm everything before they got started. They set reasonable expectations and over delivered for us. Our experience working with Vince and his team was exceptional and would use them for future projects as well as recommended them. Our project scope: - Three floor common space (including stairways, kitchen, living room, kitchen sunroom, behind banisters, etc..) - Master bedroom (including tray ceiling - they did a clean job on the detailing) - Nursery (with accent wall) We had 5+ colors of paint. They used Sherwin Williams which matched all my specs (from different manufacturers). read more

Exactly as promised. I was looking for someone to stain my front and back decks. I found good reviews on Yelp and requested a quote. It was easy to do and Vince came and quoted my job at the time we set up. The quote was competitive (middle of 3) and thorough. I got a good feeling about the professionalism of University Painters and executed the contract. 1/3rd was required up front with the remainder due upon satisfaction. We scheduled a paint date out a few weeks because we had some scheduling conflicts. Vince made us aware that the weather can impact outside painting jobs. He texted and asked about a specific date in my window a few days ahead of time and we agreed to start on a Monday. They came out and pressure washed on Friday to allow the decks to thoroughly dry and stained them on Monday. The crew showed up and spent a full day staining everything by brush (deck boards, rails, spindles, and lattice work). It looks beautiful! We are extremely pleased. They covered everything as promised and cleaned up after themselves. I did not find stain anywhere it was not supposed to be. I will definitely bid University Painters again. read more

I heard about University Painters through word-of-mouth. I went to their web site and filled out a request for a free estimate, which was easy to do. The form lets you select a day and the times of day you will be available. Once I made my selection and submitted the form, I got an Outlook appointment by e-mail, then there was a text reminder of the appointment on the day of. Vince DiMarino showed up exactly on time and was very thorough and effiicient with the estimate. He was also flexible about giving some ballpark estimates for things we had not decided on. Rain was forecast for the third day of exterior painting, so at the last minute we asked if they could spend the day inside painting our kids' rooms. They did both rooms, doors, and trim in one day with awesome quality. The exterior was done with awesome quality. Victor, the team foreman, was very professional and handled everything with a great attitude. Highly recommended for interior and exterior! read more

We used University Painters last spring to paint the entire inside of our home. After getting a few estimates Vince gave us a good price. He seemed knowledgeable and professional. His team arrived and we provided them with the colors we chose for each room in the house. We were advised they use Sherwin Williams paint which was a plus. The team were in and out in four and a half days. They cleaned up well and everything looked great. A few months later we attempted to take a mark off one of our walls with a damp cloth only to have the mark get larger. We contacted Sherwin Williams to get direction on cleaning the walls and provided the information on the paint that was used. We were advised by Sherwin Williams the paint that had been used was builders grade and not meant to be washed. Now we are painting walls again. Would not recommend University Painters to anyone. read more

I live 100 miles away from my second home that needed painting from top to bottom (three bedroom town home with a two car garage). My point is that I was not able to follow the day-to-day progress so I really needed to depend on a contractor that was honest and reliable. I interviewed three companies and settled on University Painters because Vince DiMarino, owner, appeared more knowledgeable and energetic then the others. Well I wasn't disappointed ... I gave him the key to the place and his crew took over. They completed the project on-time and within budget (their estimate was in the middle of the three). On the walk-through I was immediately impressed with paint application and the clean trim work. His team applied seven colors correctly including some last minute changes. We did find a few cleanup items but these were taken care of immediately. I will use University Painters for future work and would strongly recommend them to others. read more
