Kitchen renovation

Tom and his team, Nene and Marien, came to paint our kitchen and into the basement for a renovation. Tom was easy to contact and brought all the supplies including paint once we had chosen a colour. The paint job was well done, particularly we had to have about 5 coats on the interior of a cabinet and they took the time to ensure it was completed. We will be hiring them again for some exterior work.

Painting a condo- ceilings, closets, walls, and trim.

Tom was prompt getting back to me, came quickly to assess the job and provided a detailed, written quote. His team were very professional. Marian in particular pointed out small issues and made sure that they were addressed. The job was beautifully done, on time and on budget. Thanks all!

Thanks Paola! It was a pleasure preparing your condo for re-sale. The little details like caulking the baseboards help finish the place off and now you will give a great first impression to buyers. Good luck with the sale!

Cheers,
Tom

House painting

I am so happy that I chose Tom MacRae to paint our newly purchased house! I selected him based on HomeStar reviews, his competitive quote, prompt communications and his easygoing manner. Tom and his team (Marien and Nene) were incredibly professional and the paint job is flawless...well, except for the one room I painted myself (which Tom kindly and generously spent time touching up my sloppy paint job).
Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Tom and crew and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. We're already planning our next paint projects for them...

Thanks for the kind words Erin! You and your family were a joy to work for. Your home looks great in the light grey you chose and looks bigger than it was with the previous dark colours. I look forward to working with you again and will soon be working at your neighbours.

Cheers,

Tom

Exterior painting - stucco, wood, porch

Tom was knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Tom's crew Marien and Julio, where highly skilled, took pride in their work and were polite and respectful of both our home and those of our neighbor's as they completed the work. They easily handled some tricky surfaces ranging from stucco to very high eaves. We're very pleased with the results.

Exterior Painting

The photographs do not do justice to the excellent exterior painting job carried out by Marien and Julio of MacRae Painting. These two gentlemen worked very hard, and in addition they were very polite and punctual. Overall I would rate their work as excellent. I was also extremely happy to deal with Tom MacRae who is very knowledgeable and helpful and I would say an expert in his field. I would have no hesitation to recommend this company and it's workers.

Painting cathedral entryway and hallways

Tom painted our hallways and cathedral entryway - transforming them from a shade we refer to as "turnip" to classic grey. He was great to do a little extra, and even came back to do some finishing without complaint. Very attentive to our needs. Thanks Tom!

Painting of living room, dining room, hallways and two bedrooms (including ceilings and trim)

My husband and I just bought a new home and wanted to update the paint in a number of rooms before moving in. Tom was very responsive, patient and hardworking. He is very detail oriented and was able to point out and address issues I hadn't even noticed. His prices are very fair and his work is of very high quality. We will definitely have him back when we are ready to update other parts of our home!

Tom's team helped us lighten the colors in our townhouse as we prepared it to sell. They did walls and ceilings on both the main floor and kitchen as well ad the master bedroom.

Tom was really wick to respond to pour request for a painter and made it a priority to come out and give us an estimate. His crew showed up as promised and did a very professional job throughout. We are very happy with the work and would recommend Tom MacRae painting to anyone looking to have work done quickly and correctly.

Thanks Chris and I hope you can sell your townhouse quickly! The neutral colours that you chose will give the house a broader appeal and the caulking and ceiling repairs give the house a more finished and"new" look and the house has a much better flow now. Thanks and take Care! Tom

Paint house exterior

Painting of 120 year old Tudor style house in a two colour pattern on a variety of materials including stucco, wood, metal and cement. Most of the work had to be done high up. The house had not been painted for moe than 20 years. Almost every part that had to be painted was difficult to reach. Tom's crew are courteous and proficient. They did a wonderful job, cleaned after themselves every day and did not leave until I was satisfied with the work.

Tom is easy to communicate with and responds promptly. His prices are better than the competition.
