Student Works Painting

Under the direction of the project manager, Chris Anderson, the crew who painted the exterior of my home did an outstanding job and were totally cooperative with my wishes and respectful of my ideas and my property. Mine is an older house and posed quite a few challenges. The quality of work performed by these hardworking young persons is second to none. I highly recommend them - and what an opportunity to help a student with their education! Thanks Student Works!

You were patient and flexible, which we really appreciate. Painting was done very carefully. All of the staff are serious workers but very approachable, and were thorough. Thank you so much for all your work!

We had an absolutely nightmarish experience with Student Works and I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. It would take far too long to tell the whole story, but let me summarize with the following: 1) they did not start when they said they would (they were about 6 wks late); 2) they did NOT do proper prep work (scraping, sanding and priming) as promised in the contract (I even caught them painting directly over MOULD in one spot, without ANY sanding or priming); 3) the job took about twice as long as they said it would; 4) they painted some surfaces that were not meant to be painted; 5) communication was terrible; 6) their claim that they have conscientious , carefully-trained painters is a LOAD OF CRAP.
Their quote was by far the cheapest, and now I know why: they underbid to get jobs and then THEY CUT WHATEVER CORNERS THEY HAVE TO in order make a profit. Trust me, pay the slightly higher price and save yourself the headaches. I know I learned my lesson.

Jeffrey and his team were responsible for the preparation of the entire exterior of my cottage as well as the deck. Then two coats of paint were applied, completely transforming the exterior, giving it a fresh new look.

Jeffrey and his team preformed these tasks in a professional and timely manor. His close attention to detail has resulted in meticulous and accurate work. His strong interpersonal and communication skills have made dealing with him a wonderful experience. Jeffery worked around my schedule and budget to ensure everything fit my needs.

Jeffrey went over the top in every aspect of the job. I was extremely pleased with the work completed by Jeffrey and his team, and would highly recommend him for employment.

"Please accept this letter of recommendation following the successful completion of painting our entire main floor, upstairs bathroom, an accent wall in one of the bedrooms and front steps. The results have beautified and totally given our home a vibrant and fresh new look.

Anna and David were extremely courteous they kept the job clean and put away tools and ladders neatly at the end of the day so as not to interfere with our daily life. They were very responsive to our needs and provided valuable input to the choice of colours and how to fix problem areas.

We are very pleased with the work done and would hire them again for any or our future painting needs."

Re: A quick thanks to you and your employees for honouring your guarantee


Hello Mr. Thomson,

I was told I could forward a letter of appreciation to you regarding a painting job done this Summer by Student Works on our condo building.

We sent a formal complaint on June 23rd, 2010, regarding a paint job that was done on the balconies of our condominiums in Montreal in August 2009.

We honestly expected not to receive a response, and perhaps to have to go to small claims court, but we were pleasantly surprised to receive a quick response from Mr. Christopher Plouffe-Boisse, who came all the way from Ottawa to inspect last year's paint job.

Following this, we were quickly contacted by Emilie King and her collegue Alana Desco. They both came to survey last year’s work and determine a plan of action to redo the work. Both Emilie and her collegue were professional, efficient and easy to deal with.

The work has now been redone. It appears to be much better than last year’s job. Although only time will tell whether the work will last this time, we wanted to thank you for responding to our letter, for honouring your guarantee and for sending us three courteous and effective employees who were a pleasure to deal with.

Thank you Chris, Emilie and Alana for your professionalism, respect and understanding throughout this process!

Sincerely,


Jean-Michel

We had a brand new 3300 sq ft home that required painting from top to bottom. The team from Student Works Painting worked with our interior designers to give us a competitive quote and a high quality finished product.
The team did a superb job, purchased all the paint, left the home clean and spill free and organized all left over paint in a very organized manner to allow for easy touch ups.
We would not hesitate in recommending Frazer and his team!

Just a quick note to express my satisfaction with a job well done. Your crew was prompt and courteous and made sure the job was done right. Needless to say, the end result is a sight to behold! The outside of our house looks fresh and new and we've received numerous compliments on how gorgeous the house looks.

"Student Works did an amazing job in our house. Exterior painting was professionally done exactly to my specifications. The project did not run over the estimated budget and period. I would definitely recommend Student Works. "

Last year my dad and his partners used the service of Student Works Painting on my recommendation at an apartment building that I manage for them. We were very happy with the efforts of Crystal Gilpin's division who completed the work. She has now been running the business for 3 years and I found her great to work with. Should you need any interior / exterior / commercial / residential painting or staining work this year, Crystal has some great incentives starting now. She is starting to book up her season so that she can focus on exams in April, and begin painting starting May 1st. Her cell phone number is 905-321-3240 and her email address is cgilpin@uoguelph.ca

Please feel free to forward this to anyone who may need a good contact for a painting company this season.
