WOW 1 DAY PAINTING York & Durham Region

The workers were polite/professional, quote/job appointments were on time and estimate was honoured. The workers were in/out in about 7 hours, three guys. The problem was with the quality of work. We had used WOW to only re-paint the trim, baseboards and doors white in order to stage our home for sale; we had painted all rooms less than a year before, so the walls were good. Following the job, upon inspection, there were 4 doors that had entire sections missed (bedroom doors, edge on two doors, front on another and back on another) and then downstairs, our bay window frame, the entire top of the frame was not painted. When I showed the sections, the workers painted them. However, the trim colour was white on white, so it was hard to identify other missing sections on the spot. Over the next few hours, we identified many other sections of trim, doors and frames, that had been only partially done. Also, the trim was new in some sections, and the workers were suppose to fill the nail holes and seams, which were done here and there but not consistently. Our house was going on the market two days after painting, so we rushed to fix these small errors, but it was the last thing we needed at the time. Also, there were many areas in every room where (1) the trim paint brushed onto the wall paint and onto the hardwood floors (as the workers did not use tape or drop clothes) and (2) little splatters and drips of white trim paint landed on either the wall paint or the hardwood floors. After filling the holes and painting the missed sections, we needed to take razor blades to the hardwood and scrape off the paint around the baseboards, and then take out the wall paint for each of the rooms, and touch up the sections that had spatters. All in all this took only a few hours, but using a professional service, and paying a good amount of money (equivalent to about $250/hr total labour and material) we expected more. Also, the workers left two extension poles and a paint tray at our home when they left, and took about three weeks to provide an invoice for the job. All in all, the experience just seemed amateur, and although we had anticipated using them in our new home, we will be seeking another paint contractor for that job.

We wanted to share how impressed we were by the job that Kim and the whole WOW one day painting team did on our house recently.
Prior to even getting started we were really impressed with Kim's professionalism as he provided us with a fair quote and even suggested some colours to us. I have allergies and he was very accommodating of using paints that would be safest for me.

On the day of the job the whole team arrived on time and in uniform and were very quick to get started. We left them to get started at 8:30 and when we returned at 4:30 the entire house was painted perfectly. We couldn't have been more impressed with the result. Because of the darkness of the paint on the walls prior, and our choice of an off-white colour, the job required a substantial amount more paint than we were originally quoted on and 3 more coats than anticipated. We were not charged for any of these unforeseen elements and somehow they still finished the job perfectly in the same amount of time they had initially outlined. They were even kind enough to touch up the one room we had decided not to paint! At the end of the day the house was left perfectly clean and we were extremely happy with the look of the paint.

All in all we would highly recommend WOW 1 day painting. They were extremely professional, easy to deal with and efficient. We are really glad that we decided to go with them; the paint job was amazing and it was so helpful to have it over and done with in only one day.

The team did a great job and were very professional. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the job done in one day and the professionalism of the team. I would recommend them and use them again!

Wow!! A small army came to our house and it took over. Kim and I had discussed all the 'ins and outs' of the process. But I was impressed with everything: the politeness of the crew, the respect for our newly installed hardwood floors, thorough clean up, and most of all the quality and expertise of the actual painting and preparation. They even peeped and corrected areas that had not been discussed nor noted in our contract. We will definitely call them to wow us again for painting our first floor. Did I mention that they were done in a day!!! WOW

Fantastic team to work with. Lighting caused a few issues in executing the work but the company was responsive and remedied the small details immediately. Best paint company I have ever dealt with!

Kim came out to provide a quote on my home and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was extremely detailed in his quote as to ensure all items on my wish list were covered and even helped me in choosing my paint colours!
Candace and her team were super stars and I am beyond thrilled with their work. They were extremely professional and tidy and I HIGHLY recommend them!

I got my house painted green with this company. They worked hard and did well in their painting. The colour on the walls turned out to look the way I wanted it to. I would recommend this company.

Candice and her crew just finished painting my basement and it looks amazing. Clean up was perfect! Candice herself and her crew were punctual, professional and the little touch of cookies made my daughters and i's day. I will recommend WOW to family and friends. Thanks guys!

Kim & crew were amazing. Professional quote. On-time when promised. Good and clear communication. Straightforward honest work. FAST! One day in and out. Quote was HIGHLY detailed. Reco's and options were provided. We painted our basement walls, ceiling, trim and doors and hallway down to the basement. We wanted our old crusty brick fireplace painted, and Kim's team knew how to take care of that. Its hard to do. He reco'd painted the ceiling, we complied. We also had the back porch painted. There was a mess-up with the paint color, and Kim himself came back TWICE to paint it the right color. That is some dedication to customer satisfaction. Top notch. Will use him again!

This review is for Wow1Day painting (York/Durham).
They were recommended by a friend who had them paint the interior of his house.
My job involved exterior painting around perimeter of the roof line. This included prepping and painting all wood fascia and siding.

I compared Wow1Day to other painting companies with good ratings on Homestars. They were one of 3 companies I decided to get quotes from.
If you call the main number they will route your request to the appropriate franchise depending on where you live. Kim is the owner for my area but Doug was the manager that came to give me the quote.
Doug was punctual and very responsive by email or phone from the time he reviewed what I wanted to get done to the day of the job. The quote was competitive to the other companies I had checked but one of the reasons I chose them was the open communication.
Doug entertained all options that I was considering which changed the scope of the work quite a few times and he was patient with my requests. He revised the quotes quickly and made suggestions along the way.

Initially I was concerned about the quality of the work as Doug confirmed that the work would be completed in one day while other companies needed more time. But I was assured they guaranteed their product and my friend only had good things to say about them.

On the day of the job Candice and Chris arrived to do the work. They were on time, organized and did a fantastic job. What impressed me the most was their attention to detail and the pride they took in their work. They stayed until the paint job was done right and made sure that the finished product look good. They also enjoyed what they were doing which was notable.

I would not hesitate to recommend Wow1Day York/Durham. I do not know about the other locations but Kim's crew is awesome.
