Berkeley Painting

Bruce has done a great job with our paint projects. He's professional, pleasant, tidy and knows his stuff. One of our jobs involved a great deal of prep, removing layers and layers of old paint from beams on our ceiling then refinishing them… not an easy task but the results were fabulous. He also made sure the site was clean at the end of the work day; something that's very important to us. There are many friends I could have hired to do painting but sometimes it's worth hiring a professional to get it done right and in a timely fashion. Hiring Bruce was a good call.

Bruce is an excellent painter and very professional, I would recommend him to friends, family and neighbours. He has a great attention to detail and always keeps the job site clean.

Bruce was totally reliable and did a fantastic job painting and fixing the trim on my old Victorian house in Cabbagetown. His work was very detailed and he took the time to work through with me the options. Highly recommend. He is working with my neighbours now who loved my changes.

We requested a quote from Bruce after observing his work at a neighbor's house across the street. Bruce was very knowledgable and prompt with his quote and started our project the week promised. He and his one man crew were very pleasant to work with and extremely efficient and tidy. Bruce recommended a couple of changes to our work plan due to some exterior window sills that needed replacing. He turned out to be a good carpenter as well,as painter. All work was completed to our satisfaction and within budget. We would highly recommend Bruce to our friends and neighbors.

Bruce Poole is terrific! He is professional, knowledgeable, forthright and reliable. It was a pleasure working with him as he guided us in transforming the appearance of our house. He knows what he's doing, explains what needs to be done, gives options, and does what he commits to do -- when he says he's going to do it. And, he has an excellent eye for matching colours! We would recommend him highly and without reservation.

Berkeley was recommended by a friend who was also happy with the results. Bruce did a great job working with and around contractors in preparing multiple rooms for painting (smoothing over old plaster, stripping layers of wallpaper), and painting the new and old walls. We are very pleased with the result, and Bruce was very easy to deal with - from beginning to end. Couldn't ask for anything more.

I have hired Bruce Poole on two separate occasions to paint in my home. Bruce was enthusiastic and prompt in his response to my request to my initial enquiry and subsequently completed the work in an efficient manner. His pricing is competitive and fair. Bruce’s years of experience enable him to provide excellent advice. He is flexible, approachable and reliable. He has consistently demonstrated an attention to detail, and a superior work ethic. The quality of the workmanship and detailing was exceptional. Bruce kept me informed of the progress during his work and left my home very clean and tidy. Bruce provides a high level of craftsmanship, integrity and dedication to his work. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional and quality workmanship.

Bruce painted our new condo. When he came to give his estimate, he asked many good questions to clarify exactly what needed to be done. He gave gave helpful advice regarding colours. He completed the job well within the agreed-upon time. The place looks great now and we can't wait to move in!

We are very happy with the work that Bruce did for us. He completed the kitchen in a very short time with minimal disruption. It looks really great. He also cleaned up beautifully and kept the dust down to a minimum with plastic sheeting everywhere. We would recommend him both as a contractor and a painter. His price was very reasonable for excellent work. .

I met Bruce after our house had been entirely re-wired. The entire house (ceilings, walls & trim) had been 'opened-up' for access to old knob & tube electrical. Needless to say, it was a colossal mess!
Bruce started the project on time and with very little disruption. There was no task he could not complete - he had a solution for all of the problems that developed as a result of the previous construction. Attention to detail is superb.
In summary, Bruce Poole is someone I would absolutely recommend - he's honest, personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable!
I am very pleased with the end result - the house looks amazing!
