Exterior Painting of house and detached garage

From the moment that Jordan came to my door until the day of completion I have been extremely impressed with the degree of professionalism demonstrated by Luke and his caring team of Ellen, Michelle and Josh. They were respectful and kind and supportive of one very curious cat named Sebastian. My house looks new and fresh and my garage is outstanding. I look forward to further encounters with this company. Well done all!

Interior & Exterior Painting Job

The experience was a nightmare. I wouldn't recommend this company to any one. The student in charge of the project has no attention to details & no concept on how to patch holes or prep a wall for painting. Deen even purchased the wrong colour of paint trim I had requested. This was after we spoke on the phone about the colour & I had emailed him the colour selections I wanted for the rooms. He told me he would repainted with the correct colour but he didn't. In some rooms he has used the colour I wanted plus the colour he always uses. I need to redo the trim throughout my house to make it consistent. Twice he touched up rooms with the wrong paint colour. I almost fired him after the first day when I came home from work to find they had painted two rooms but did not patch any holes or remove nails. It looked terrible. You could see the original colour in spots throughout the room. There were paint spills on the carpet and dirt all over my bedroom furniture. They spilled paint on all of the floors and furniture as well as my frig. It took me close to 5 hours cleaning up the paint splatters. I have pictures to demonstrate the messy job they did & the condition they left my laundry room sink in was filthy. The only picture I did not get was when I caught Deen standing on my bedside table while he leaned out the window to paint a board that I had asked him 15 minutes earlier to not touch. He never listened! I don't know what type of training the company offers the students but clearly it is not enough. Plus they do not supervise the students at all.

Hi,
We are really disappointed that our operator did such a poor job and that the job was unsatisfactory. We are currently coaching this operator and finding out what’s being done about it. We are very concerned and we are at work to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
We understand why you refused for Deen to come by and fix the work, but if you change your mind, please call our office at 1-800-465-2029 and we will be more than happy to help. - Student Works

I had student works painting come and clean up the exterior paint at my rental property. They were quick, yet efficient and the place looks so clean and tidy. Luke was very professional and thorough as was his crew. I am very pleased with their service.

Walls in kitchen and ceiling,walls in living room and hallway going downstairs

Very unsatified with the work I had done ceiling was dry rolled needs to be painted again also the walls need to be repainted old color bleeding through both exterior doors were very poorly painted. I got in contact with them they said they would come by and look at what had to be fixed and they never came by they never even called me. I wrote the company and they said it would cost me more money to fix what they did not paint properly the first time. They did not stand behind there work and basically what they told myself and wife. I would advice people not to hire these people to do any work for you because you will be very disappointed with their work . I would have been better off hiring a professional painter to the work or do it myself if I could have I am disabled and not able to do it Do your homework before you hire theses people to work for you.

Hi,

We have looked to try to find out who you are by asking our local operators in Oshawa and we are not aware of your concerns. Can you please call our head office at 1-800-465-2029? This sounds like a warranty project. We handle over 250 projects per year on the basis of painting 6000 jobs every summer and having a three year warranty. We are not happy with what you describe and look forward to the opportunity of completing your work.

Thank you,
Student Works

Fascia Painting

Jessica and her team were professional and very easy to work with. Friendly and reasonably priced for how high they had to climb to get at our fascia boards all over our house. I would definitely recommend Student Works.

Living room/Dining room walls and baseboards, bathroom ceiling, walls, door and baseboards.

These rooms were long overdue for updated paint but we just were not getting around to the job. Asked for a quote from Student Works and Rachel Taylor responded promptly. She was helpful and professional and offered to have the work done in a short timeline. Sarah White and her team did the job today and we are very pleased with the results! Sarah and her crew arrived on time, got both jobs done today, and had everything cleaned up before my husband and I got home from work. We are so impressed, we have asked that the same crew comes back to paint our bedroom. Great job, girls! And thank you!!
