See all

Such a amazing company. Efficient and considerate. Can't wait to hire them for future work

I would highly recommend Zen Painting to anyone that is looking for high quality painting, professionalism and detail oriented painters. Very fair price and the owner Mark is awesome. He was very patient with my inability to make a decision on trim color. They were always on time, cleaned up before leaving every day and a pleasure to work with. They were also great with my 2 Labs that would meet them every morning for a rub down! You can't go wrong! read more

We could not be happier with the results achieved by Zen Painting on our house. Mark and his team were extremely polite, professional and thorough. Everyday we are getting positive feedback on our house. Highly recommend these guys, and thank you read more

very expensive with standard work. Employees all seemed to have criminal records, been in jail. Very strong evidence of substance abuse - both alcohol and something else. I brought this to the attention of the owner. All through the job I was getting asked for another advance on the final payment. A two week job took 6 weeks because he put the employees on another job. One guy spent an entire week on one door jamb. So the rest of the job then got rushed when they came back. Doors are full of tool marks. Just ridiculous. Really unprofessional. Yuk - just find someone else. read more

Mark ,Allen, Zack, Nick are awesome. Professional, efficient. Painted my patio fence with lattice(challenging to keep stain from the backside) and carefully protected all my plants. They patiently tolerated my sudden crazy anxiety that I chose the wrong color and were willing to change it. After much consultation, decided to stay with the original and am just so happy with the result. Absolutely recommend Zen Painting! read more

We hired Mark to clean and restain our very-weathered deck. He and his crew (Zack and Allen) did a fabulous job. They power-washed, did careful sanding (on their knees with palm sanders!) and then applied our chosen stain. They paid attention to every detail. Very pleasant workers and cleaned everything up perfectly. Price was reasonable too. We're very happy with Zen Painting and highly recommend them! read more

I have used used Zen Painting on several projects over the past several years at my home and business and have always been very pleased with the quality of their work and customer service. The Owner, Mark, has an eye for detail and is very hands on. He communicates very well and makes sure the work is done to top standard. His staff is conscientious and does a good job of cleaning up in the areas they have worked. I highly recommend them. read more

I hired Zen Painting to paint the exterior of my 2-story colonial and they did an excellent job. They arrived when they said they would, worked full days and finished on time. Before painting, they cleaned the exterior and fully protected my plants and windows. Mark, the owner, helped me select the paint color (more than one trip to the paint store!) and went out of his way to be sure I was happy with the color before they started painting. They even thought to paint the roof flashing and other roof plumbing; it looked great and I wouldn't have even thought to ask them to do it. The workers were always on time and very nice. I have twin 4-year olds who talked their ears off and the guys went out of their way to engage the boys. Every day the crew worked hard and every night the crew cleaned up the work space. They did quality work, on time, courteously, and for a fair price. I highly recommend Zen Painting. read more

Before I recommend Zen Painting let me say, "If you are thinking of painting your house, paint your house". You will be very glad you did. Secondly hire professional painters. They know how to prep caulk seal sand etc. I recently had Mark and his crew from Zen painting paint the exterior of our house. Mark gave me a very reasonable quote for the work. They power washed, sanded and caulked. They carefully removed light fixtures and covered the plants. His crew worked tirelessly each day and completed the project on time. I highly recommend Zen painting for their work and professionalism. ~Rob read more

I can't say enough about Mark and his Zen crew. They transformed our home 6 years ago and we have recommended them to friends ever since. This week Mark and his crew returned our iron patio set that had been sitting in a heap for a few years... Just like new! Mark is the best to work with #lovezenpainting read more

I hired Zen Painting to paint the entire exterior of my house. Since I have done quite a bit of painting on my own in the past, I am aware of the amount of prep work and detail that goes into a quality paint job. The owner, Mark, and his crew did an outstanding job from beginning to end. They showed up on time each day and made sure to clean up at the end of each day. There was no over-spray anywhere and they back-rolled which makes sure to leave no voids in the painting. I am extremely happy with both the quality of the paint job as well as the price. I would highly recommend Zen Painting to anyone who is looking for a top-notch paint job for a reasonable price. read more

We recently had Mark and his crew stain our deck, which was built last year. They just finished the job and we could not be happier with the results! They were so professional, and very efficient, yet with a lot of attention to detail. They power-washed and sanded the deck first, and then carefully applied the stain we had chosen. The cost of the job was extremely reasonable, and much lower than the only other quote I was able to obtain. Mark returns calls and emails promptly (much appreciated!), shows up when says he will (ditto!) and does the job he promises to do, only better! Highly recommend Zen Painting! read more

Mark at Zen painting was the best part of our remodel! He worked around all the craziness and rescheduling that goes along with a remodel. His work is impeccable and he is so thorough. His goal is to make his customer happy and he goes above and beyond to ensure that we are. I can't praise him enough. He did the exterior on our last house and he did such a great job that we remembered him for the interior of our new home. I read the review from Cindy A and all I can say is that you can't please some people. I have referred Mark to many people and they are all just as happy as we were with the quality of work. read more

I recently had Mark and his crew from Zen painting do a large interior for me. They were fantastic and Five Star All The Way!! Not only did they do exactly what we asked but they also made suggestions about things we hadn't even thought of. The amount of attention to detail each one of them had blew me away and ultimately contributed to how great our job came out. I cannot recommend them enough, great price great job. read more

Not the cheapest, but maybe the best. Our house was a challenge to paint. It is on a slope, and the back is 35 feet tall. In the last 28 years the wood siding boards have shrunk a bit, creating many places for water to enter. Mark and his crew meticulously caulked the siding, creating a waterproof surface for the first time in years. They were very easy to work with, and carefully replaced everything that they needed to move. All the surfaces were well painted and our house looks great. read more

Our house was painted last autumn and got the color but was lacking the quality of work we had expected. We were not happy with the paint coverage (cracks from the old paint came through the new paint as well), caulking was omitted at spots that were hard to see (top of windows, roof) and sometimes sloppy with gaps remaining. The paint coverage was better on the lower level than upper level and roof. Despite our complains several areas of concern remained unimproved and we finally decided to get painting supplies and do the rest ourselves...(despite paying the full price). The whole job seemed rushed and we had to argue that the work should be done more thoroughly several times. Paint was sprayed and splattered on the plants and fixtures were not removed but painted around (despite promising the opposite). At the end we were tired of asking for more thorough work and we rather will improve things in spring on our own. I was surprised to hear from the owner that if he had known we expect so detailed work he would have quoted us much higher.... read more
