“Joe and crew are very helpful and knowledgeable of their craft. I highly recommend them to both professional and DIY painters.”

“I have worked with Jim Lackford to complete multiple home renovation and repair jobs and I highly recommend him. First, he’s easy to work with and is a good communicator. He’s trustworthy and more reliable than your best neighbor: When I had water in my basement over a weekend, he came over the very same day to remove the flooring. I don’t know any contractor who would turn on a dime like that to help in an emergency! Jim is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in everything “home.” He did painting and wallpapering for me, he patched holes in my ceiling, he laid tile in my laundry area, hung a mirror, installed a mosaic tile backsplash, and so on. He always did the work with skill and care. He also has access to skilled workers who can support him when the job requires it.”

“Work was done in the amount of time requested (rather short). Work was mostly neat--no drips found on floor, but detail work around fixtures, etc., could have been better. Overall, good job.”

“CASART Coverings helped me color match and did a color consultation in my dining room as well as helped me consider wall coverings for our beach condo. Ashley Spencer, the president, was who I worked with. She was professional, direct, prompt, accurate in her assessment and didn't try to "over-sell." The dining room now has a warm feel thanks to CASART Coverings.”

“The speedheater and scrapers I purchased get a lot of use. The first time we tried it out we couldn't believe it was true- It really got the paint off! I don't think it's the most efficient way to remove paint from wide flat surfaces or pieces that I can remove and have dipped in a lye tank, but It is great for removing paint from surfaces with profiles or small details (think: window sashes). The scrapers they sell are great, but also necessary. On really old paint, we brush on some linseed oil and leave it for a while before using the heater on it. This helps a lot. There are a few downfalls: (1) The bulbs break easily- in fairness, my speedheater gets a lot of use, and does get dropped occasionally, and so the bulbs do break. (2) It's not "super magic", it does still take a lot of patience to remove the paint, and having to hold the machine in a vertical position (not working on sawhorses) can become tiresome. (3) I know the company says it's safe, but the smell that comes with speedheating the paint doesn't seem like something I want to be breathing, so I wear a respirator. But don't let these little things distract you. Removing paint is never easy or fun, so while this tool is not flawless, it is a necessary tool in the arsenal of anyone trying to remove old paint.”

“I worked with this store during the refurbishing of a carriage house. Mr. Tom Martin works tirelessly in making sure your goals are met. He will wade through a sea of colors chips with you to find that perfect shade ,then if not satisfied, create a custom color for you that captures your imagination beyond that which you could express in words. He will come to your project in person, if that's what it takes to fully understand your goals. Part designer,part therapist ,part alchemist, this operation goes so much further than expected ,to show they value your human connection beyond the simple merchant -consumer relation. There is no extra charge for all this extra effort and time (so please be respectful), whether you buy one gallon or hundreds. Their honesty and integrity steers you away from products you don't really need, even when that means less profit for them. Every bit of advice, every sale and every contractor recommendation they make can be trusted and counted upon because of their unique and unwavering philosophy on what a business should be. Beyond paints and stains they carry a myriad of products and even flooring.If not in their store they can order just about anything and their technical knowledge on even the most esoteric of problematic situations is vast. They are located in a quaint town, worth the trip to get your project on the right track , or for a trusted contractor recommendation ; you. will be treated to service that is now so rare you will find yourself actually looking forward to your next visit and your next project.”

“Eric Linkins is unsurpassed as both an innovator and creator of beauty with design and paint. He has an artist's eye and a craftsman's skill. We have used his talents for over a decade and remain enthusiastic about his design skills, meticulous commitment to detail, and his personal attention to every aspect of a project, no matter how small. He interacts splendidly with his clients, including the family dog. Eric's crew reflects his commitment to top notch service. They arrive on time, work steadily, and leave the premises in excellent condition after finishing for the day. It is a joy to recommend Eric for his outstanding work.”

“Color Wheel is the most amazing place to go to get all your interior design questions answered, to get the best advice, and to get help from the most amazing design pro's. The staff at Color Wheel is fantastic to work with. They have access to all the best product lines and they know what they are doing! I can't recommend Color Wheel highly enough.”

“We hired Passport Painting after 6 previous estimates. As recent 1st time home buyers and the need for painting being our first project that we would contract out we wanted to do as much research as we could allow before having new carpet put in the bedrooms. We clicked with Jon almost right away. His quote was in the middle of the other 6 and we could not have been happier with the choice we made. Between the reviews that we saw on Thumbtack and the conversations we had we felt comfortable having Passport to handle our project. We had 3 rooms all with vaulted/cathedral ceilings, not an easy task! He explained every step of the process and not only did he repair the damaged walls he went above and beyond to make sure we were pleased with the work. We were happy to have Jon work in our home and he will be the only painter we contract with for the duration of this house and any other. They say you get what you pay for, and you wont be disappointed to have Passport Painting to do your project!”

“Teri L. Did a great job helping us pull together a color pallet for repainting our entire house. She listened to our ideas and explained the pros and cons of the colors for each room from the ceiling to the baseboard helping us reach a well coordinared pallette. She was patient and didn't rush through our appointment. In the end, we are very satisfied with the colors and receive compliments all the time.”
