Window shutter painting

Hired Hannah and her crew (Laura and Rebecca) again to do another painting job this summer. Her crew did another excellent job. They were professional and meticulous. The shutters have really freshened the look of the house. I would hire them again for any other major painting project

Exterior Work/Backyard Deck

Overall, all three workers had great attitudes towards the work and project. They were polite, friendly, and courteous. Additionally, the students were always punctual and hardworking. Great experience working with Student Works Painting! Throughout this project, I have seen tremendous leadership capabilities in operator Derrick Hou. Well done!

outdoor painting

James Tweedie and crew showed up when they said they would. They were curteous, pleasant and hard working. The job was completed to my satisfaction and the place was left spotless. I have no problems in recommending the crew for similar work.

Outdoor painting - Whole house

Having an old house, I've dealt with a lot of contractors through the years, and I have to say that Harley Nadler and his great on-site supervisor, Callum (along with his sweet sidekicks Audrey <3 and Josh) were the best I've ever hired! They did a spectacular job! The work itself was very meticulous, and I could always count on a steady follow-up. Don't hesitate to call on these kind, thorough and professional people. Two slight constructive criticisms: 1) the follow-up is so tight that some calls were made at inappropriate moments (i.e. at dinner time, or too early in the morning on weekends), and 2) specialized equipment, such as scaffoldings, should have been used for oddly-positioned windows that were hard to access with ladders alone. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend Harley and his team for any painting job you may have!

outdoor painting

The crew needed a lot of oversight as the owner of the Caledon franchise was not providing direction. Crew had to be called back 3 times after they thought they finished. Contacted head office by email but now response. Leads me to believe that they don't care. Perhaps lax HO attitude filters down.

Hi Fred
I know we tried to reach out to you and see if we could make it right. We could not reach you. I can understand why you may have posted to provide feedback and not be interested in a resolution.
Please know if there is something that we can do to rectify this problem we would be happy to address them. We certainly do care and apologize for our errors. Our operator admitted that this was not one of her better efforts from her painters. I can imagine that would be frustrating for you.

Our sincerest apologies

Exterior/interior painting

This summer I hired Erin Josephy (North Vancouver) and her team to paint portions of my house,outside and in.
My choice of company was made as a consequence of finding a flyer in my mailbox. Erin's picture was front and center on the promotional flyer and was supported by a convincing narrative of comprehensive services and guarantees.I was instantly interested!
Upon meeting Erin I was very impressed with her maturity, interpersonal skills and general knowledge of the profession. And I have to say that I did not fall prey to a bias that is often triggered by perceptions of youth as less experienced and therefore less competent. Erin's professionalism gave me complete confidence from the start and she demonstarted it in spades throughout the process.
The team, or "crew" as Erin likes to call them, were first rate and all members were subscribers to the work ethic and understood the importance of engaging the client while on site. I trusted them implicitly and felt very comfortable leaving them with the house while I was doing other things.
In conclusion my experince with Erin Josephy and her "crew" was beyond my expectations. "The people,the product and the price were perfect!

Home painting

The team at Student Works Painting, and Justin (in Cobourg) specifically showed a business sense and empathy that goes beyond just painting your house. I would work with Justin regardless of whatever trade or product that he would provide. Additionally anyone who would ever employ Fraser would be doing themselves a favour. He's got business smarts AND street smarts.

Interior, exterior Painting

I noticed a lot of disorganization from the manager during the operation. At the end, once I thought everything was done, I signed the cheque and the manager essentially ran off. They didn`t move my furniture back as originally agreed upon and there were several touch ups that needed to be done afterwards.

Painting

The painters were professional and courteous; very pleasant to work with. They were here when they needed to be and went overboard to exceed expectations. My house is wonderfully refreshed thanks to their hard work!

Ceiling painting

Harley Nadler and Jay positively surprised us when they punctually arrived for the work at 7:00 in the morning, showing commendable commitment and professionalism. The work was finished earlier than anticipated, without a single trace of paint on the floor/furniture (not at all common when painting ceilings). Job extremely well done and we are fully satisfied with the service. Congratulations to Harley and Jay!!!
