This crew really did Wow! us. They arrived promptly and Melody, the Lead, reviewed the scope of work and walked thru the condo with me to make sure she had it right. There was no pressure for extra work or negotiating bits out of the job. Her two crew members were friendly, but focused on the job. And our dog being around was cheerfully taken in stride (see photo). The job was finished on time, same day, and completely to our satisfaction. Cleanup was very thorough. We would definitely recommend this company for your painting needs. read more

Wow 1 Day Painting - Our dog Genie, supervising the painter. - Painters Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I was in a rush to move and wanted to have my unit painted for my tenant, moving in the next day. Amanda was helpful when quoting and responsive, but the actual paint job turned out horrible. I had to check everything while it was still drying due to time commitments, and after doing a complete walk-through with my tenants months later, I realized that the team cut many corners. Not only was it dusty and messy there are still tiny little splatters on the floor. I had also asked for some building settling cracks above the door frames to be filled, but after everything drying, it looks like they were just painted over. All of my light fixtures have paint squares around them because the team did not bother to do the finer touches. I will need to have my place completely repainted, and this was a waste of $. Not impressed, hire a professional and spend the money. read more

Using WOW 1 Day Painting (Vancouver) has been a very positive experience. From the online quote system to the follow-up, pre- and post job communication, everything was very smooth and professionnal. Even with a small job (as this was) Jack was quick in responding to any questions. The painter, Stu, was on-time, professional, and finished the job efficiently. I've used WOW in the past and each time the experience has been very positive. Highly recommend their service. read more

Wow painting is just that .. they helped out of a bind!! They gentleman from Newcastle helped me beyond words!! He really stepped up to the plate !!! If you need painters and if I need a painter these are your people!! Thankyou again!! read more

WOW is right! The whole experience started off with booking an appointment online - in no time at all and a couple of thorough follow up emails with Sandra. I needed my white doors and trim painted as well as my en suite bathroom. Sandra was able to give me a quote by email, I picked out my bathroom colour and they provided the paint. (painless!) Two professional, friendly guys showed up at 8:30 this morning - on the button. I showed Mike around to all of the doors and areas needing painting. I forgot two pocket doors and trim, and the guys were totally accommodating and had no issues adding the doors to the list of work to be done. An email to Sandra and it was all sorted in 5 minutes. When they were done, they walked me through everything to make sure I was happy with the work. Completely cleaned up the floor and areas around their painting work (put all the knobs back on too) and left me with the remaining paint for any future touch ups. Seriously high quality work and so quick - they were finished well before dinner. read more

We had a smallish job that needed to be done and we left it a bit late to get booked into the busy summer painting season. WOW 1 DAY, recommended to us by another painting company we had used before, stepped up and were able to book us into a slot between two other jobs. True to their word Alston & Justice were finished in 1 day and it looks great!! Very pleased to recommend this company to anyone needing a paint job done. read more

I had a fantastic experience with this company. The call centre was friendly and responsive. I met with a representative, Matthew, at the house, and he was on time for the appointment. We walked through the home and he had great attention to detail. The quote provided included everything we talked about. I made multiple revisions to the quote and paint colours, and they kept track of it all! On the days of the paint, the crew showed up on time and we're very friendly, professional, and got right to work. When I came back to review the job I felt it was a very high quality job right away. We did a walk through, I pointed out a few deficiencies, and they addressed them immediately. I would 100% work with this company again. read more

Wow, is right. As in, Wow, I can't believe the terrible lack of communication and commitment! Thanks for nothing. We needed our unit painted between tenants. We were told an estimator had to come and look at the space before they would book a date to do the work. With our fixed window of time, over a weekend, we called back in the morning and asked them just to let us know if they had the availability or not. The dispatcher said he would have the estimator call me, which he did, after 5 pm. I explained we needed to know if they could do the painting on these 2-3 days or not. He told me he would check his calendar to see who was working and call me back that night or the next day (which was Friday.) He never called. After not hearing from him by 12:30pm on Monday, I called him. He apologized and said "Friday got away from him" and then told me all of his guys were going to be out of town on the painting date, except for maybe one. He would have to check and call me back. At this point we have lost almost a week and we could have had someone else in to estimate and book a time. We called back and told him to forget it. This is terrible, unreliable service! If you don't have the people to do the work then don't set up an appointment to do an estimate! Just. Wow. Call another painter. read more

They are actually just a call centre. They hire people with zero experience or painting knowledge and get them to do the estimates. Then they proceed to sub contract the job to actual painters and other companies. So basically sending a painter to your house who doesn't work for them and who does the entire job. Then they take their cut off the job for setting it up. Good at marketing but bad and unorganized in the painting. Do yourself a favour and call an actual painting company who takes as many days as needed to do the job correctly. Research instead of the first thing to show up on the interwebs. Wow one day maybe they will learn to paint. read more

I have tried to get a reply and estimate from Wow1Day Painting on two separate occasions with no luck. The call centre people were helpful but the local Vancouver franchisee isn't responsive, which doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence. Updated (July 18/16) - I spoke with the owner and in the nicest possible way he wished me luck on finding another company to work with. Based upon the progress on trying to secure a quote I agree working with another company is a better option. read more

Why did I choose Wow 1 Day? 1) They were recommended by my realtor. 2) I had a tight timeline, and Jesse guaranteed that the job (preparing and painting the entire inside of my 1500 sqft house) could be done in 2 days. 3) Right from the start, Jesse was very professional and accommodating, was prompt with providing a quote, and the price paid was the quoted price - no surprises. David, the lead painter, was punctual, friendly, courteous, and did a good job. I'd recommend Jesse and his team. They deliver, and they're great people to work with! read more

Their service is great - until the painters show up. Wow are they awful. We had our entire apartment painted and it was supposed to take 1 1/2 days. However, on the day of, one of the painters didn't show, so we were told it would probably take almost 2 full days. This wasn't a problem as we had decided to leave town for two nights as all of our stuff was packed up into the middle of the rooms and it was basically unlivable while the job was being done. We came back and the kitchen was painted the wrong colour, they had forgotten to paint our front door, many of the walls (including the dark accent walls) only had one coat of paint so you could see the old colour through it and brush marks for the trim, and their were splashes of paint everywhere! When we were finally able to get a hold of our contact later that afternoon he was able to send someone over to go look at the errors, but they couldn't fix it for another two days. So we had to live basically on our bed until then and when the painters showed up there were only two painters instead of the four we were told would be there. It took them the full day to fix all of their errors and the end result was ok. We appreciate that they mostly fixed it, but we still had to do some minor touch ups and they only took $150 off of the entire bill (which was because they didn't scrape the paint flecks that were all over our hardwood floor) and not because of the inconvenience of the job taking an extra 3 days!!! Very shoddy work and we had to point out all of their errors - from not filling in nail holes (as agreed upon) patchy paint, and areas missed entirely. It was obvious they hadn't taped and covered our floors properly and we are still scraping paint off of of our floors. read more

I called wow as I saw a news piece where they volunteered to paint a veterans care facility. Being community minded, I liked that. Sales department rep came and quoted the job which I thought a bit high, but I admit to being ignorant of pricing. I wasn't given a book of colour schemes as another customer had it. I chose the colours from 1 square inch samples at Benjamin Orr. I felt somewhat neglected from the sales guy as my space was small and quote minimal compared to other clients. I felt he didn't believe that I was committed to the painting of my place. I live on modest means so this was a large investment on my part. Upon the day of painting, the painters (Ruth and get mother) arrived to paint. Upon starting, I noticed that the yellow colour I chose was far too loud and bright for a main colour. Ruth was very good about it. She wanted me to be happy. The sales rep brought a secondary colour I requested and the job was done by 6pm same day. Of course I was charged extra fir the new paint. That put a damper on my budget and overall experience as the sakes rep actually took the first choice back with him even though I had paid for it. I found that a bit off putting. The paint job is generally good, though it seems quite easily marked and scratchable compared to how the old paint held up. I paid close to $750 for 300 sq to be painted. I don't know if I will go through a professional painting company again or just find a good handyman. I may be naive, but with the company photos of wow1 day Painters in bright green tshirts and such not actually being the case, I feel a bit let down by the whole experience. read more
