Laurel, MD Exterior House Painting Company

Williams Professional Painting, Inc. BBB Business Review
 Laurel, MD Exterior House Painting Company

When it comes to great food, there are two things you must have: excellent cooking skills and quality ingredients. The same is true when it comes to exterior house painting. Premium exterior house paints and high-quality equipment are very helpful, but unless you also have extensive skills and experience, it will not turn out like you want. That’s why, when you hire an exterior house painting company in Laurel, MD, you need someone who provides top-notch craftsmanship.

We all know great food when we taste it, but what about a great exterior paint job? What sets an excellent local house painter apart from an average one?

Expert Preparation for Expert Exterior Painting

Though it lacks glamor, surface preparation is where some of the most important work happens in exterior painting. There are several crucial steps in the process of exterior surface preparation:

  • Cleaning – All surfaces must be free of grease, pollen, dirt, air pollutants, mildew, and all other contaminants, otherwise the new paint will not adhere. Also, many of these substances would show through the new paint, ruining the look.
  • Remediating Failed Paint – Any paint that has begun to fail must be remediated, or it will continue to fail underneath the new paint, shortening its life. Remediation for exterior paint usually involves removal, which can be an extensive, laborious process.
  • Surface Protection – In order to create straight lines and clean edges, it is important to use tape at all borders and transitions. Additionally, plastic sheeting, tarps, and drop cloths are vital for protecting other surfaces from wayward paint.
  • Priming – Any surfaces with bare wood or metal require a layer of quality exterior primer in order to ensure maximum paint coverage and adhesion.

Paint Application

When the time comes to actually put the paint on the exterior of the home, the project really starts to take shape. An expert house painter uses a variety of tools to spread the paint smoothly and evenly, for beautiful, consistent coverage. Methodical application ensures there will be no drips or runs, no thin spots or roller marks.

The best exterior painting takes at least two coats. This provides you with long-lasting color and excellent protection from the forces of nature.

Cleanup and Follow-up

While the painting may be finished, the project is not. Your Laurel house painter should do a thorough job cleaning up, making sure the only trace of their presence at your home is the gorgeous paint they leave behind!

Additionally, a quality exterior painter will follow up with the homeowners, making sure they are completely satisfied with the outcome of the paint job. If there is anything that needs to be corrected, a reliable painting contractor will go above and beyond to see that the situation is resolved.

Our Happy Customers

We Love Happy customers

We had two full bathrooms renovated and needed to have the rooms painted. Williams came highly recommended on Angie's List which I religiously rely on before I engage a business. The company had a estimator scheduled the day I called during the following work week based on our availability. Alvis was well versed in the latest options for painting our spaces. He recommended a Matte finish and we both agreed on a Sherwin Williams paint. We needed one of the bathroom ceilings painted and Alvis recommended that the second bathroom ceiling was in good shape and did not need to be painted. We also got a quote for a stairwell and hallway. Finally, the kitchen ceiling needed both repair and painting. Alvis recommended painting the adjoining hall ceiling since there was no separation but suggested that we wait on painting the ceiling of our living and dining rooms that were separated but on same floor with the kitchen since, once again, the ceiling was in good shape so no need to spend the money. The crew showed up on time and focused on the two bathrooms on the first day. By the time I got home that evening, they had prepped the walls and one ceiling and had painted two coats of paint on one bathroom and one coat of paint on the second bathroom. While the paint work was excellent, the prep work in a number of spots in both bathrooms was not acceptable. I informed Alvis who promised me that the crew would resolve any concern we had. We proceeded to mark each spot that needed to be sanded and/or skim coated for the next morning. Alvis showed up the next day to ensure that the crew resolved all of our concerns. Once again, by the time I got home from work, the walls looked great, there were multiple coats of paint on both bathrooms, both ceilings had been prepped and painted to our satisfaction. The matte finish minimized accentuating any imperfections and the paint work was excellent - the crew also did an excellent job of keeping paint off of the trim and cleaning up after each day. I would employ their services again and will have them paint the stairwell and hallway in the near future.

Terrific Company To Work With.

Once again terrific company to work with. Got work done sooner than expected and it was a beautiful job. After ceilings and walls got holes cut in them for new lights and a wall mounted tv, Jose came back and patched and painted. When he was done, you would not have believed what it looked like before his excellent work. Highly, highly recommend

Rick:

Thanks for your follow-up note – and thanks for the job. Les did a truly excellent job of managing this project, including his own efforts wielding the paintbrush. As a team, Les, Ricardo and Eric were professional, conscientious and diligent painters. All of the work was done with care and attention to detail. The team showed up and finished the job on time as projected. They cleaned up the job site perfectly.

We will not hesitate to recommend your firm to friends. Moreover, this winter we are likely to contract for some inside painting work, and will contact you about that when we are ready.

Best regards,

In the future I will be turning to Williams Professional Painting.

On January 14th, 2015 Mr. Juan Maldonado arrived early to paint my apartment ceiling from an earlier roof leak. He was early, but was very patient and waited for my family to get off for the day before starting his work. When he did so he was very professional, quiet and neat. He finished the painting in a very timely manner and worked around our cluttered apartment. He also helped paint over a small damage spot in our stairwell which I can not thank him enough for as the little repair job would have taken much longer if left to my own devices. So again I want to say thank you for the outstanding work he did today and should I need further painting services in the future I will be turning to Williams Professional Painting.

Carlos did a great job on the outside of the house and were extremely professional.

Amy -- Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you -- we've been very busy this first part of Spring.I did want to tell you how much I appreciated the fine work that my Williams team did.Carlos Serrano along with another Carlos did a great job on the outside of the house and were extremely professional.They showed up at the appointed time and left the property spotless each day at work's end.

Please let them know how much we appreciated working with them.

This was a great experience!

This was a great experience- Rick oversaw the project from the beginning and was responsive, considerate, and honest, while JB, Lucius, and Jamie were here every day and were really excellent. They were courteous, efficient, and kind! I work from home so we saw a lot of each other. Our project consisted of fairly serious construction, as well as painting and finishing, and we are thrilled with the results. Working on the aesthetics with Lisa was a joy too, she was very thoughtful and creative. We are really very pleased with all aspects of this project, and will be using this company again in the future as needed.

He was easy to have in the house;

Hi Dave -- Just wanted to let you know that we are very pleased with the painting and carpentry that Gustavo did for us. He was easy to have in the house; very polite and professional. He worked hard and addressed every one of our concerns without complaint; a pleasure to deal with.

Thank-you! --

Interior Quality Painting Fairfax Virginia

Dear Rick,

This is a long overdue comment regarding the services Williams Professional Painting provided in painting our home in Fairfax.

First of all it was a pleasure to work with you, Rick, on the estimate, and we felt the price you quoted us was very reasonable for the scope of the job.

I lost the card your painters gave me in the chaos of packing the house – so unfortunately I don’t remember their names, but they were great and I would be happy to have

them in our home again!

The painters were here each day well before the time to start. They were extremely courteous, and usually they left things cleaner than they found them.

We were in chaos trying to prepare for moving, but they were very accommodating; letting me know I got to choose which room they would work on on any given day

so I could stay one room ahead of them clearing out clutter.

As for the quality of the painting it was very good!

I have recommended Williams to our Realtor and if we were staying in the area and needed painting again I would not hesitate to use Williams.

Thank you so much for your excellent service!

Thank you for providing us with two highly professional workers.

Dave:

My husband and I would like to tell you how pleased we are with the work that was done by your employers, Juan Maldonado and his co- worker. They were at our house on Wednesday September 23 and Thursday September 24. While here they did carpentry work as well as painting. The end product is truly top of the line. We found Juan and his co- worker to be hard working, pleasant and above all else extremely competent. It will be our pleasure to recommend them to our neighbors, many who saw the Williams truck in front of our house and were curious to know what we were having done, and our many other friends.

Thank you for providing us with two highly professional workers. The result of their work gets an A+.

"I have never had someone work in my home that was so respectful..."

This review is for the work that Franklin did at our home. He is not just an amazing painter, but he is an amazing man. I have never had someone work in my home that was so respectful, so honest and so hardworking. He brought everything to our attention so that we could make decisions and therefore we NEVER had a problem. His attention to detail and customer satisfaction was phenomenal! I own two companies and Franklin is the type of man that I would want working for me in a top level position. We are beyond pleased with his work. You are lucky to have a man like him with your company. He is priceless!! Franklin is the reason we hired Williams Professional Painting this second time. His work last year at our home was just as good! And we wanted the best again. He is always welcome in our home.

Sincerely,


C.G. and K.G.

He has always, and continues to be, the ultimate professional.

Dave,

Just a quick note re: Juan.

I have had occasion to interact with him a total of 5 or 6 times, he has always, and continues to be, the ultimate professional.

Allow me to recap, your email stated he would arrive between 0730 and 0800 and sure enough at 0745 he was at the house. Once at the house he accessed the situation with the doors quickly and quickly implemented a fix, after noticing that the proposed solution would not work, he recommended other solutions but, from my point of view, always balancing the professional outcome with the cost/level of effort that would be required.

I have verbally stated this before, but your crews have NEVER disappointed me, I am very comfortable with Williams Professional Painting in my property, and look forward to a continued business relationship.

Very Respectfully,
Ary Rodriguez

Alvis conveyed to us everything that we needed to know.

The job was to remove wall paper from the kitchen, dining room and hallway and prime and paint those rooms, and the living room, stairway to the top floor and the upper hallway, including trim and doors. They also painted the railings in the dining room and stairway. Their project manager, Alvis Hermes, provided extensive consultations and advice regarding color and type of paint. He listened carefully to our objectives and patiently worked with us, offering continual advice throughout the project. He also referred us to Janeen Braddock, an experienced color consultant at Benjamin Moore Paints who provided invaluable advice and samples that helped us to make the final paint choices, with which we are so pleased.

Member Comments:

When we decided to paint the rooms on the main floor of our town house and contacted several painting companies, it became immediately clear to us, after meeting with Alvis Hermes, that we would choose Williams Professional Painting. As their representative, Alvis conveyed to us everything that we needed to know and was so reassuring and easy to converse with. During the entire painting process, he always returned our calls and emails promptly and courteously. Choosing Williams Professional Painting was the best decision ever. We wrote to Alvis and to the owner of the company, thanking Alvis for his guidance and patience throughout the process and for referring us to Janeen Braddock, whose consultations were so valuable in helping us to decide among so many lovely Benjamin Moore colors. She drove out here in heavy snow bringing new paint samples, to make sure that we could finalize our paint choices with confidence. Amazing!
We can\'t begin to say how pleased we are with the beautiful job that the painters, Jose, Omar and Ricardo, did. They were very professional, punctual and responsive to all our questions. We were surprised to find two layers of wall paper in the kitchen. They did a remarkable job of removing them, despite the considerable difficulty this job entailed. Our painters worked steadily and systematically until the surface was beautifully prepared for the new paint. Throughout the whole painting process, our painters remained cheerful, accommodating, respectful of our needs and were very neat as they worked and during cleanup.
We are so happy and excited with the results, as the rooms look exactly as we want them to be. We get so much pleasure each time we come downstairs to see our beautiful, bright rooms. After seeing the great results, we definitely intend to use Williams Professional Painting to complete the process for our upstairs level and lower level family room. We also intend to recommend this company to our neighbors and to our townhouse development\'s corporate office, with the greatest confidence. Congratulations to Williams Professional Painting on a job well done!

I had a fantastic experience with Williams Professional Painting

I had a fantastic experience with Williams Professional Painting. My husband and I just moved to Virginia from Minnesota and we found Williams Professional Painting through Angie's list. I received estimates from three different painters and Dave Williams' estimate was the priced in the middle of the other two. But the reason I picked them was Dave's professionalism and responsiveness. He offered some great advice on questions I had throughout the house and his administrative team was quick and polite in responding to my questions. The crew began just two weeks later and did a beautiful job. Not only that they were very respectful of my privacy and were extremely professional. They also gladly did a few "honey do" items for me while they were here. They were a joy to have in the house and were fantastic about patching up and correcting little imperfections in the walls and ceiling that I hadn't even noticed. After the job was finished Williams Professional Painting offered services of their carpenter who works on an hourly basis to hang up all the art work. Juan, the carpenter, was very, very careful with all his measurements and, like the painters, was so conscientious. He even, when asked, offered some advice on the height at which to hang some pieces. Williams Professional Painting did a great job and they were a godsend to someone like me who is new to the area and had no one from who to get referrals. I was also impressed that Dave, the owner, stopped in twice during the job to check to see if I was satisfied.

Williams Professional Painting

Hi Milton:

We were very happy with the work done by the crew. They were very careful and thorough. I appreciated that they made sure all the windows opened and locked after they finished. Bryan and Daniel (and Edwin earlier) were great! I've already recommended your company to two families - and will continue to do that if anyone's looking for this type of service. I also appreciated the way the office kept us informed as we went through all the delays due to rain.

Thank you very much for such good service!

Regards,

Another great job done!

We had Williams paint the entire inside of the house back in 2010. That job was excellent. We were very apprehensive about having to move everything and the disruption, but the Williams crew made it as painless as possible. They even painted AFTER we had white carpet installed and not a drop touched the carpet!

So when it was time to get some outside work done, we naturally turned to Williams. This painting involved foundation, soffits, windows, porch, and staining the porch floor.

The crew (Jorge and Rodrigo, with Joyner the second day) were great. They were professional and courteous, showed up when expected, took great care when coming inside for the window work (white carpets!), worked efficiently, got the work done on the low side of the time estimate.

Williams is very good about scheduling work and keeping their schedule commitments. They are not "cheap painters" and you really get value for what you pay. Dave Williams and the office staff are easy to work with.

The quality of the painting looks great and we would definitely use Williams again.

In fact, our next door neighbor just talked to me about the company, having watched the crew at work, and will likely be in touch for some work next spring.


Arlington, VA

I Am Thrilled With The Result!

Jorge and Jaime did an excellent job. They were professional, polite, clean, organized, efficient, arrived on time, kept me informed on what they were doing, were considerate of my husband and me, and were extremely careful with our furniture, paintings, and decorative items. They obviously love their work, love working for Williams Professional Painting, and take great pride in a job well done. Because the previous painters had painted onto the baseboard in some areas, Jorge asked if I had the paint for the woodwork so he could correct that. The line where the wall meets the baseboard is now perfectly straight. They vacuumed and cleaned up two different times and I think my house was cleaner when they left than before. I am thrilled with the result!

I will be in touch with your office when I am ready to have the other bedroom painted.

Thank you so much, Dave, I really do appreciate how professional you are and the obvious pride you take in your work and your business. I take every opportunity to sing your praises.
