Interioir

We hired University First Class last summer to complete an interior job. There were paint splatters, paint drips and a complete mess every day. The work took twice as long as their estimate and we ended up having to cleaning up after they left. The painter was unreliable and always late. He lacked training our painted over top of the sanding dust and left paint drips to dry on surfaces. We were left us with a bigger project to fix than what we started with. I would not recommend University First Class to anyone.

Painted house

BUYER BEWARE! They market themselves as professional but less than amateur work. They ruined our Duradek with over spray and then rubbed the finish off when trying to clean it! No drop sheets or ground prep done, DESPITE saying they would in the contract. On top of that they are not willing to repair it back to the condition before they wrecked it! They have no experience and don’t care. They spray everything, our plants were covered as well, again no ground prep. Don’t engage them and spend the extra little bit and get real painters. They don’t manage the job and allot way too few hours which means they rush through and are not thorough.

University First Class Painters

The price was great, the work was excellent, and the manager was very professional. They completed the painting of the exterior of our house in the amount of time quoted, and the painters did not mind my questions throughout. They have an excellent eye for detail and were able to correct existing, minor imperfections which I had previously not noticed myself, making a big difference on the overall appearance of my home. I'm very pleased with their work and I will be recommending this team to my friends and colleagues.

Did not complete the work

The painter Jon had started the work on a Friday about 3 weeks ago which was to paint the front door and garage door of our home. Included in the quote was cleaning up where needed and painting the trim, however, he said he would come back on the following Tues to complete the trim. Since he seemed honest enough, he was paid in full as he promised to return. He didn't return on Tuesday and has not returned any of our calls since. We are disappointed.

Interior (full house)

Originally I was skeptical of hiring a student based company to paint the inside of my home. When I first contacted the company their call centre staff was very professional and they informed me that a manager would contact me within 24 hours. He contacted me within an hour! On the day the job was scheduled to start they were running a little behind but I was contacted and they let me know they would be late.
Overall, the job went well and they were very respectful in my home (I have small children). They managed to start and finish areas within the same day so it made it very livable during the week they were working. I have since reccomended them to two friends that were just as satisfied.

Interior and Exterior Painting and Deck Staining

The big job was done very well in all aspects, prep work, cleaning, painting, and customer service.

The sanding and scraping needed was done well, washing was also done very carefully.

Very happy with result, will use again.

Interior Painting

Jordan and his team of experienced painters were excellent.
The customer care was very evident and job itself was outstanding.
The price was very reasonable and my family greatly appreciate the work and will call him for future painting.

Painted our hosue

They came and gave us a quote, and then did not honour it. They started painting the house and the colour was still not done right - you could see they needed two coats of paint. I had to do a lot of it myself and I paid alot of money.
