Because we have nothing else to do, we are looking to get estimates for the exterior painting of a frame Victorian house. Asking for a friend. But seriously who have you used, that you have 100% liked? Or close. Thanks.  

Answer 1

Ronbos. We got three estimates and they were right in the middle of the price range. They did great work, communicated well, and cleaned up every day when they were done. We will use them again if we need indoor next. We have an old frame house and had them scrape and paint (same colors so no primer needed). We can’t speak highly enough of them. Good luck!

Thanks! Did you need any carpentry/replacement of wood?

Yes they also fixed some broken/rotted siding as well as a few window sills

@grumous53 oh good. We have that here!  

Answer 2

Peralta Painting were wonderful!  

Answer 4

We used Fortune Restoration. They repaired our wood windows, painted the exterior and resurfaced/varnished our door. Solid service.

So, funny thing (I'm just feeling funny today), I was thinking of them this morning, and wondering if they "cost a fortune"?  

---

@cobnut I'll say this. I do feel like we got what we paid for. All our expectations were met, they communicated effectively and finished the project early. If Tom Fortune is make a fortune, he definitely earns it.

@fidellia44 Well if that’s just his name, then everything’s alright then.  

Answer 5

We have selected Ronbos but they can’t start for 6-8 weeks. If you reach out after that I can tell you how they did

Answer 6

Following! We bought a Queen Ann Victorian and wanted painted and got one quote for $20 k  with no repairs needed! For all of you that have had this done does this sound accurate?  

Comments

@advertent our quotes ranged from 6k to 16k. Ronbo predicted he’d be in the middle of that range and was (without us sharing the others). We picked him because he was also by far the most knowledgeable about what we needed including very specific details that others never discussed so we trusted his input.

@grumous53 thank you!

@advertent yes. That’s about right
