Several years ago our strata hired Utopia Painting (Leonard McCannon) to paint the exterior of the two large and very high duplex buildings. Leonard did an excellent job at a fair price, notably exceeding the quality of the job done a few years earlier by another company. One of our strata neighbours immediately hired him to paint the interior of their unit. Therefore when we recently purchased a large five-bedroom home requiring extensive painting, Leonard was our first and only choice. The home combines an original 1950's house and several subsequent renovations. It has a complex, rambling floor plan and was left in very rough condition by the previous owners. Indicating that he "likes a challenge", Leonard took on the task of painting all interior walls and ceilings. As the job progressed, he readily accepted additional requests including the painting of closets, trim and some fixtures. Leonard was meticulous in preparing and repairing all of the surfaces, notably restoring extensive wainscotting in the large living room to attractive condition. He also worked very cooperatively and effectively with other contractors on site who were completely replacing the main bathroom, furnace and hot water system, installing new carpet and a full alarm system. At the conclusion of the work, we were charged a very fair price for this major job. Leonard epitomizes quality workmanship and a "can do" attitude. We anticipate hiring him again to paint the home's exterior when weather permits, and highly recommend Utopia and Leonard to anyone requiring quality painting services
