College Park MD Exterior Painting Company

Williams Professional Painting, Inc. BBB Business Review

Here in College Park, there are a lot of exterior painting companies you can choose from. A quick online search for "College Park house painters" can give you way more results than you know what to do with! How do you narrow down your options? How do you recognize a good exterior painting contractor when you find one?

There are many factors that you can use when comparing house painters, but there are a few things that are most important: trustworthiness, value, and customer service. Let's take a look at those characteristics individually.

Finding a Trustworthy Local House Painter

From time to time we hear nightmare stories about house painters who take a deposit and then disappear with the money, never returning to finish (or sometimes even to start) the job. Other people find a company that shows up and does the job, but if there is a mistake or a problem, the company is nowhere to be found. How do you avoid this? How do you get an exterior painting company in College Park that you can trust?

One thing you can look for is how long the company has been in business. A company that has been in business for several decades is going to be stable and easy to get in contact with. They are invested in the College Park community, and they are not likely to disappear when a problem arises. Likewise, a family-owned business will want to maintain a positive reputation in the community, so you can rely on them for honesty and trustworthiness.

Additionally, you should ask about a local painter's licensing and insurance. Your exterior painters should be able to show you proof of local and state licensing, plus a policy for liability insurance and worker's compensation insurance.

What Is the Best Value in Exterior House Painting?

Most of us have learned the hard way that the lowest price is often not the best value. Just like a car or appliance with cheap plastic parts is likely to break soon, a cheap paint job might have less value than one with better quality.

A high quality exterior paint job will look much better and last far longer than a budget job. The superior protection it offers, plus the longer time between paint jobs, means that you actually get more value from the quality painting, even though the cost is higher.

Why does a more expensive paint job perform better? Some of the reason is that the exterior painters take more time to properly clean and prepare the surfaces, ensuring better paint adhesion and longer life. Additionally, a quality house painter will use premium paints, which have more of the key ingredients, giving better endurance against the elements. Finally, a good house painter will generally apply more than one coat of paint, which significantly extends the life of the paint job.

Customer Service in Exterior Painting

National brands provide you with a well-known name, but what they lack is personalized service. Their corporate model is driven by a high volume of sales, and they are not particularly interested in earning long-term customers. A locally-owned company, in contrast, lives and works in your community. As mentioned above, they are invested in College Park, and they are highly motivated to develop good relationships. They want customers for life!

This kind of family-owned, locally-operated painting company is far more likely to give you the personalized, attentive, reliable service you desire.

An Exterior Painting Project

I had Ricardo, Salas and Cesar plus a couple of other guys work on my son's house. They did an excellent job and worked very hard throughout the project. The foreman(Ricardo, I think) kept me abreast of the progress throughout while I was at the house. The paint job is excellent.

Jose and I did not communicate well during the estimation process. The estimate that I received was not the total amount (excluding additional carpentry work needed) I expected it to be. I was shocked when I saw the final bill. The terms of agreement also showed that I would receive two coats and I did not. I was told that was only true for the pvc boards and door, that the paint was so good in covering that I did not need two coats. When I asked the foreman(Ricardo, I think) about painting the mullions he said they normally do not do those. I told him to call Jose and Jose confirmed that they would be done. So, the job was excellent but the estimation process did not go well. I'm sorry about this because Jose is a very nice guy and I enjoyed working with him, and he was concerned and respectful. I was told that Williams would replace two facial boards that go on the roof area free of cost. Thank you very much.

Overall, what is most important is that you did a great job and treated me respectfully and the job diligently. I hope the same can be said for me.

Please take special note that all the painters on my job worked hard and diligently throughout.

Thank you.

I Normally Don't Do Reviews

Good afternoon

I normally don't do reviews but I was compelled to write something about Ricardo Salas. He did an outstanding job and is a true perfectionist at his craft. You guys are very lucky to have him on board and if I do buy a house in a year I would ask for him to do the job. If you have any questions or concerns for me please email me back.

Thank you,
S.P.S.

A review on foreman Ricardo Salas

Ricardo Salas did a very good job and also carried himself throughout the day in a very professional manner. Ricardo took the time to discuss the job and what the expectations and results would be.

Overall very pleased with Ricardo.

A Review for a Flawless Job!

These guys are simply the best. They did work all over the house, recaulking a tub, dealing with water damage, rebuilding a ceiling over two attached rooms - i.e. not a terribly simple or quick job. They took their time, worried about the details, and ended up doing a flawless Job. Cristian, the Foreman, was lovely, touching base at the beginning and end of each day, staying on top of everything. I would use these guys again and again.

Thank you.

A Review on a Recent Painting Project

Wanted to send a note of appreciation re my recent painting project. The whole process was seamlessly handled. Mr Williams offered suggestions and promptly provided an estimate. Amy, the receptionist, courteously handled the scheduling of the project, arrival times, and billing questions. Adolberto Ferrafino and Rodrigo arrived as scheduled, and with a minimum of household disruption and mess performed a "face-lift" on my living room. The plaster repair and new paint gave the room a whole new look. I am very pleased, and plan to use Williams for painting projects I may have in the future-perhaps an exterior paint project in the spring. Thanks much.

Very Thorough

I wanted to drop you a note to inform you that Jose G. and Ricardo did an excellent job painting the exterior of our townhouse. Both were very prompt being on time, if not a little early. They made our house look very well manicured. I was pleased that after every detail, they wanted our satisfaction. Very thorough in all aspects of the job, from the prep work to painting. Not to mention they both were very neat and so courteous. We will be sure to recommend Williams Professional Painting to any of our friends and neighbors.

Sincerely,
D.B and J.N. from Cameron Station in Alexandria, VA

"I Cannot Say Enough Good Things About Williams Professional Painting..."

I cannot say enough good things about Williams Professional Painting. The painters were punctual, polite, and they are excellent painters. They did extensive preparation, they cleaned as they went, they did a super job, and then left every place they painted spotless. I will be having them back in a few weeks to paint bathrooms. I will always use Williams Professional Painting when I have painting to do.

They arrived at the promised time

I am writing to let you know how very pleased I was by the work done by Ricardo Salas and Rodrigo on June 14, 2015. They arrived at the promised time and both worked very hard to do a superb job despite the heat and humidity. The carpentry repairs were at the 3rd floor level, as well as much of the painting and, in my eyes, the results are excellent.

Thank you for providing such courteous, experienced and skilled tradesmen. I will definitely recommend Williams to friends and call on you again when needed.

Sincerely,
Sharon Burke

Your employees are absolutely superb!!

Dear Milton:

I hope this email finds you well and that you are recovering from the nasty flu.

Joe and I would like to express our appreciation for the excellent service we received from Williams Professional Painting for the paint job at our residence that started last Monday and it was completed today.

Your employees are absolutely superb!! We certainly appreciated their knowledge, dedication, and hard work. Their efforts to finish the job today went beyond the call of duty. Despite the fact that they started very late today due to my medical appointment, they were determined to finish today and they did, even though they had to work until 7 pm in the evening.

We were highly impressed by their expertise, deep sense of responsibility, and dedication to their work. Despite having to work during one of the coldest week of the season and having to go back and forth to their truck to get stuff, they portrayed at all times a very gracious and pleasant disposition, professional demeanor, and willingness to do a job well done. How very lucky Williams Professional Painting is to count Dagoberto and Eliazar as members of the staff. Employees of their caliber are very difficult to find. They delivered a service for us in a way that one only expects from truly professional people.

Milton, please share with them this letter and please convey to them once again our appreciation.

Thank you again Dago and Eliazar. We want you to know how much we appreciated your hard work. You are truly remarkable. Your dedication to your work is admirable, and your sense of responsibility is very commendable.

To everybody at Williams Professional Painting, please accept our very best wishes for the successful continuation of your work.

Most sincerely,
O. S.

I'll be sure to recommend this company and the services of Rick and Bryan to all of my friends.

I cold called Williams Professional Painting while searching for painters for my new condo in DC to obtain a quote. I was able to promptly talk to Rick Williams on the phone and he was extremely responsive and reasonable. I told him I recently purchased a condo and wanted to repaint everything prior to moving in. He sent an estimator out to my condo. The estimator, Jose, showed up on time and was extremely courteous, even removed his shoes prior to entering my condo. He took measurements of the rooms and recommended different types of paints for the rooms. I discussed with Rick that I needed the job done in two days and he said it wouldn't be a problem. His crew led by foreman Bryan arrived on time and was also extremely courteous and professional. Their #1 priority seems to be getting the job done correctly. Some of my paint colors were rather dark for accent walls and although my contract said 2 coats of paint, Bryan used 3 coats to ensure that the accent walls were painted properly.

Rick's team kept their word and finished my project in 2 days, even though it required bringing in a few extra painters, they still did not lapse their deadline. In the end, I am glad I hired Williams Professional Painting and did not take on this task myself or hire hourly help to assist me to paint. I'll be sure to recommend this company and the services of Rick and Bryan to all of my friends.

The cleanup after completion of the job was also impressive.

I wanted to commend Williams Professional Painting (WPP) for the excellent performance on my recent painting job. WPP lived up to its high recommendations. It was a pleasure working with WPP -- from the schedulers, the estimator who came to preview the job, and Walter Osegueda and his partner who performed the work. Every step was handled efficiently and as promised. The crew arrived on time and completed the job -- which involved plaster repair in an older home in addition to painting -- earlier than expected. Everything was done exactly as I requested. The cleanup after completion of the job was also impressive. I am very pleased with my newly painted rooms, and would definitely call WPP for another painting job.

Thank you!

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,

The person conducting the estimating work ( Alvis) was extremely professional and knowledgable.

Description Of Work: Painted living room wall and baseboard, den walls, ceiling, baseboards and fixed stains and cracks, dining room baseboard as well as complete foyer where there were cracks and leak marks.
Member Comments:
The person conducting the estimating work ( Alvis) was extremely professional and knowledgable. He was friendly, exactly on time and very responsive in providing the bid. We obtained two bids and while the other was lower we wanted to assure excellent work and since the estimator was able to fully explain why paint that had been put on our front door in the past did not stick (first person to be able to diagnose the problem) we decided that this and their current reputation on Angie's list coupled with their years in service meant that the higher price would likely be worth it - and it was.
The painters arrived on time, were careful to properly move and cover furniture and other items, carefully laid tape to block off areas NOT to be painted and completed the job fully in two days as projected. They were helpful - having a larger crew come the first day to help move some heavy items and the scheduling person readjusted the initial scheduled time as our floor project ran over. The foreman throughout remained in communication on issues and was very responsive to any request I had. Cristian Reyes was the foreman and excellent.
The cost may be higher but I gave it an A as it is worth the money.

A Review for Franklin

We are very happy with the work as we have been in the past.I would like to commend Franklin who supervised the job. He is very much up to the standards that we have come to expect from Williams.

Interior Commercial Painting Washington, DC.-You guys rock!

Rick,

Just wanted to drop you a word regarding the progress of the Hallway Renovation Project. I’ve overseen a lot of renovation projects during my years as a Property Manager, and this has been by far the smoothest one to date. The guys are very professional, quiet, and courteous to my residents. I want to especially credit Omar and Jose G. for all of their hard work. You guys rock!
