Exterior Painting

Despite some trouble starting the job, we have ended up being happy with the outcome. The painters paid excellent attention to detail - there is not a smudge of paint anywhere it shouldn't be. They were on time, worked hard and cleaned up each day. One thing that really impressed me was that when I gave the final cheque to the owner, he did not even look at the amount - very trusting.

What could this company do to improve their services?
I understand that companies want to extend the year for exterior painting as much as possible, but they should be careful about booking jobs that they are not sure they will be able to complete due to weather and other bookings.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Make sure that you include details in your contract, including the number of coats of paint that you want applied. We did not make this clear in the beginning and there ended up being only 2 coats of paint on the trim - with the result being nice, but not exactly the colour I had expected in the beginning (colour swatches usually represent 3 coats).

Company Response

Thank you Joanne for your review and honesty with respect to the painting project. I'm assuming your comment regarding some start trouble would imply to our late start date due to our back log of clients. Possibly we did not explain throughly there would be back log due to weather and time co-ordination had much play in the delay of your start date.
We were constantly in contact with you thru phone and emails explaining our delay and also through out the painting project we were on site daily.

Even after the painting was completed we made sure we came to see any deficiencies you found - and other than a minor one we have completed all your requests.
As for paint coverage on the siding we went from a light colour to a very dark chocolate brown which I did explain it would not cover in 2 coats but would require 3. Even still we had to re-paint areas applying 4 coats.
I'm glad through the painting process you were able to understand our reasoning behind our methods of painting and your co-operation was greatly appreciated.

Exterior painting

Spectrum did a great job painting exterior doors for me. They were very keen to get the job scheduled and completed in a timely fashion. Their quote was competitive and their invoicing was accurate.

residential painting

Spectrum just completed painting the exterior of our home. They took care placing ladders in and around our gardens, they cleaned up at the end of each day, the foreman was approachable and aimed to please. I was anticipating a real hassle getting the house painted, but this company made it so easy and we are really happy with the results.

complete painting of exterior of our commercial buidling

Spectrum Painting was chosen to paint our building after looking at a number of quotes and references .

Karin was very professional in her estimate and the follow up with us to schedule the job once it was approved.

The paint job was excellent , our building looks great .. We had a few small concerns during the final inspection of the job and these were quickly taken care of by Karin and her crew.

We tip our hats to them for a great job .

We were looking for a painting company to come out to Newcastle for our interior house painting project. We search for a good company and found Spectrum thru another contact and asked Karin to give us a quote. At first we thought they wouldn't service Newcastle but they did. We decided to hire they for the painting due to their price being the same as quotes we received from painters in our area. Also, they gave us more Airmiles which we love and helped with our next trip.

Thanks Spectrum of a great job !

Entire interior of home painting

We were referred to Karen Magill by a family friend, and she and her team more than lived up to their reputation. We presented a challenging, detail-oriented job and they proved up to the challenge. Karen made us feel at ease with a walkthrough and estimate, and her crew was always clear about the fact that we would be able to do a final walkthrough at the end of the job and point out anything that might have been missed. There was a minor complication along the way, however Karen was quick to remedy the situation (at her own cost) and showed genuine concern in making sure we were ultimately 100% satisfied with the job that was done. Ultimately Karen and her company provided a great price (and even matched a competitors rate), kept to their initial timeline, and did the job the way they said they would. Highly recommended!

We contacted Karin from Spectrum for a quote for painting our interior home, Karin was professional and on time for our appointment. We compared all the quotes and found Spectrum to be in the middle pricing range. We hired them based on their professionalism and references. We were very satisfied with the end painting job and would refer Spectrum to our friends and family.
