Client Reviews
The largest investment most people will ever make is their home. Why try to cut corners or shop around for a deal…get a true professional that understands this and delivers exceptional craftmanship with an amazing team of really cool and interesting guys. John’s team work so well together, they sing, have fun, and show they love what they do. Super respectful of your property and know their craft well! Hand rolled and brushed everything with multiple coats…wow. They did above and beyond items just to make sure the outcome was the best. My house is completely transformed! We are very happy with the exterior painting job, and have many compliments. I highly recommend Painting with Fin S ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
— Peggy L. It was an absolute pleasure working with John! I contacted three local painters for estimates and he was by far the most responsive and straight forward. His estimate was very competitive but the work was high quality. Regarding his team: From the first guy who came and prepped the site on Monday, to everyone who was doing the work on Tuesday, they were energetic, very friendly and accommodating, and worked with urgency and purpose. And the attention to detail... the final product is just perfect. He has a GREAT group of guys who work hard for him and who care - which says a ton about him. It's HARD to find good workers let alone have them execute at such a high level. I would and will confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a great house painter.
