Student Works Painting West

I had Erin Josephy from Student Works Painting paint my entire house last summer. I received a flyer in the mail and decided to get a free estimate done. From start to finish Erin was a pleasure to work with. She helped pick out colours, and her knowledge of different paint products was excellent. I found the price reasonable in comparison to other companies and decided to book with her. Her crew showed up on time, and were extremely polite. My fascia and other areas of trim were in bad condition and Erin's crew made sure that the prep was done properly before proceeding with the painting. They were efficient and cleaned up when they finished. The quality of their paint job was great and I am extremely happy. Thank you!

I phone several paint contractors to do the trim on my house that is three stories high. None of the contractors were interested so . I called Student Painters and they arrived on time and did a great job. Highly recommend them to anyone.

THEY DESTROYED MY KITCHEN! I meet with Taylor from Wetaskiwin student works painters in April to get a quote to paint my kitchen cupboards. I agreed on the quote, I paid for the paint and I gave her a deposit. She said it would take one day and they would do the job in May. I contacted her at the end of May and she set a date for June to come, I offered to tsp the cupboards prior to them coming and she told me not to as they would be sanded and prepped. Taylor arrived with her painter who started setting up for the day and then she left. This girl I later learned was fired at the end of the day because of the horrible job she did. She did not sand, fill holes or do the prep that was promised, she painted against the grain of the wood and you could see the wood through the paint and there was paint drip marks on the face of the cabinets. As well she painted one side of the cupboards and flipped them onto plastic when they were still wet and they stuck to the plastic. She got paint on my floor, stove and walls. Taylor arrived at the end of they day to check on the job and was appalled at the job, she told me they would fix it. She brought another girl in a week later, she cleaned my floor and stove and walls (luckily I still had some paint for my walls) she then started to sand down the edges of the cupboards where the paint stuck to the plastic. Then they took my cupboards home to paint them as they could leave enough drying time in between coats. The painter brought them back a week later, they did look better, however the wood was still bleeding through and the paint was not adhering as they had not been prepped properly. This was 2 and 1/2 weeks after the first coat of paint went on. Taylor came 5 days later and was again very apologetic and promised me they would fix it. She took one of my cupboards to show her district manager Kieko and her paint rep, she came back a couple of days later with my cupboard. They told her they would have to be stripped, primed and painted to fix them and it would cost her $2000 and she could not afford to do that so SHE WAS WALKING AWAY FROM THE PROJECT! This is what her district manager Keiko advised her to do. I asked her if I would get my deposit back and she said she would ask. I spoke to Keiko and she told me I should not have painted my cupboards, I should replace my whole kitchen and they won't help fix it. Also that there was no one above her I could talk to. I am devastated that my kitchen is ruined and am still not sure what I am going to do. Please pass this onto your friends and family to stay away from student work painters, this company has no ethics and if they destroy your home they just say oops and walk away!

We love the job they did. Jazmeen and her crew were the best. They came early and work hard in the heat. We are over the top pleased with the job they did. Our neighbours were amazed with the transformation of our house. If you need painting done this is the crew to call.

Hard working guys, but did not estimate the cost properly, could not forsee the result requested. As a result, they had to redo the work under the condition to be paid 1/3 on top of the original quote. It was very disappointing, but the final result was to our satisfaction.

The pricing was very good which is what impacted our decision to use this company. The sales person was professional and thorough promising a high quality job. We had discussed cleaning of the trim in certain areas where there was mold/mildew and he said no problem it would be scrubbed first. When the painters showed up, they were left unsupervised and I happened to notice them rolling right over the mold/mildew parts. I had to ask them to please stop and I called the sales rep directly. He then spoke with the painter and told them to clean it first. Of course, they had no TSP with them (so I'm not sure how they were supposed to clean it first as promised) and so I had to give them some and a bucket (which they also didn't have). After that I checked on them periodically to ensure the job was being done as promised. The painters were very pleasant and hard working but I'm not sure of their painting experience or level of quality but the job was completed in a reasonable timeframe. After the job was completed we did find a few spots that needed touch up and the sales person did come and do those touchups with no problems. The strange thing is that they left their ladders and equipment on our property for days, and their power washer was left here for weeks without asking us if that was OK. Then one day it was just gone so I'm assuming they picked it up. They also used our hose and nozzle to clean their brushes and the hose and nozzle are now covered in paint and were not cleaned. Anyway, for the money, it was as good as you're going to get. They did do what was promised and they did come back and touch up anything I pointed out. The effort was definitely there with the professionalism and quality a bit lacking.

i had Eric Banerd from Student Works Painting paint my exterior fences, gazebo, garage. He was polite, knowlegable and very efficient. his crew showed up on time and were neat and tidy and had very good manners. i would recommend Eric Banerd for any painting jog.

Update August 2013 Taylor Wolters has come and completely redone my house. Prep work was done well and efficiently with the aid of belt sanders.. The Paint job was done well- no missed areas. Covered well. Ashley, who helped with the painting, is a good painter, and pays attention to detail .I am totally pleased with the turn about. Thank you to Lindsay Boon for getting this project back on track.
I would now recommend Student works painting.

I was very happy with the service this company provided. They painted our whole house in less than five days and did a phenomanal job. They were very friendly and reasonable priced. They were also very reliable.
