After getting 4 estimates I chose Tom MacRae Painting to paint my newly finished Games Room. His quote was fair and came in in the middle of the other estimates. The job was completed on time and the work was exceptional. Thanks.

Thanks Rolf for those kind words! It was a pleasure working on your place. We extended the lifetime on your windows and garage door. The basement looks great as well and makes it a more inviting space.

Painting

Tom is friendly, efficient and very professional. He is very quick with communication, including driving across town in a snow storm to give us a speedy (reasonable!) quote. He was very flexible with schedule, even when we had to change plans at the last minute, and very respectful to us, and to our home.
He spent a day painting various rooms in our house, which left him finishing up with very low light. The next morning we noticed that one area didn't seem completely covered, so we let him know and he came back to our place within the hour to make sure we were completely satisfied with his work!

The only small issue we had is that there we many paint marks on our floors, and windows which I had to go around wiping up and scratching off after he left. Our floors were recently finished so there wasn't too many spots I couldn't get cleaned, but if your floors are older and more textured I'd make sure to speak with Tom about keeping a drop cloth on the floor, which I am sure he would have no problem doing as he is very accommodating.

With all of that said, I would definitely use Tom again for my painting needs, and I would recommend him to friends! Thanks Tom!

Thx Britt for the kind words. Your home looks beautiful, and the 2 greys you picked have already been chosen by another customer of mine as they go so well together. I had used dropcloths when I painted and thought I caught any errant drips and would have been more than glad to remedy the situation had I known. I treat every job as if it were my own home! Keep me in mind for your next project when you are ready and we will make sure it is completed to your satisfaction!

Thx & Take Care,

Tom

Interior House Painting - Walls, Trims, Ceiling & More

Tom answered my very tall order to paint my home in the week leading up to Christmas. His great disposition and good work ethic met the challenge I put before him to, to my satisfaction. He listened to my needs, gave me a quote and hit the ground running. Walls were patched, sanded, and where needed, primed and two coats of paint were applied. All trims and doors received coats of paint along with patching, sanding, priming of several ceilings. He was very accommodating and kept smiling even when I switched paint colours in completed rooms and even when I increased the scope of work. He went far beyond painting and engaged the services of fellow tradesmen to complete other work I required done in my home. At completion, Tom took the time to thoroughly clean-up and remove any refuse, leaving my home tidy and clean. I am pleased with the finished results throughout my home.

My home is refreshed and enhanced with the great paint application and I owe this all to Tom's great work. He provided a quote, kept to it and completed the work in the agreed time frame. He has a great policy of not receiving any payment until the client is satisfied, and only at the completion of work. I would not hesitate to recommend him highly to others.

Thanks for the great review! I hope I helped restore your faith in contractors in light of your past experiences. I strive to give every client the best experience possible and stand behind my promises and that is why I named my company what it is. HomeStars is a wonderful tool for customers to choose contractors based on other's experiences and I value you sharing yours. As you said to me, you have very high standards and I am glad that I met them. Your home is beautiful!

Take Care,

Tom

Kitchen and Vestibule Painting Project

Tom was extremely friendly and flexible with his schedule.
He helped us pick the proper shades for our rooms and the end result is beautiful.

He was even able to paint our front door to match our room.

I would recommend Tom to anyone.
