Exterior House Painting in McLean, Virginia

Williams Professional Painting, Inc. BBB Business Review

They say that beauty is only skin deep, and there is something to that saying. That does not mean, however, that we should neglect the health of our skin. It is not merely aesthetic, but it is also a vital organ, performing irreplaceable functions for our bodies. Have you ever thought of exterior painting in the same way? While we may think of its primary function as artistic, exterior house painting actually gives vital protection to the rest of your home!

Why Exterior Paint Is Essential

Like our skin, exterior paint provides a barrier against the elements. It is engineered to resist ultraviolet radiation from the sun, temperature changes, snow, ice, and other forms of water intrusion. Exterior house paint also keeps wood-destroying insects at bay. 

If the exterior paint on your McLean home is kept in good shape, your house is well-protected against the forces of nature that would otherwise degrade its structure and value.

An additional aspect of painting that some people overlook is the caulking. Caulk provides a waterproof, durable, flexible edging around windows, doors, vents, and other seams. Over time, caulk can become brittle and split or peel. This must also be regularly maintained to protect your home.

Choosing an Exterior House Painting Company

Among the many house painting contractors in McLean and the D.C. area, how do you know whom you can trust? In order to have a good house painting experience, customer service and professionalism are the key qualities to look for. You can read online reviews and talk to your neighbors and coworkers to narrow down your options. 

Once you have chosen three or four companies to get estimates from, look for the clues in how they treat you and how they operate:

  • Are they on-time for appointments?
  • Are they prompt and courteous with communication?
  • Do they have company vehicles and employee uniforms? 
  • Do they provide a detailed estimate on company letterhead?
  • Do they have proof of licensing and insurance when you request it?
  • What kind of guarantee do they offer on their services?
  • How long have they done business here in McLean?

Remember that a reputable painter may ask for a partial payment up-front, but be on your guard if they ask for the whole fee ahead of time.

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.

Dave, et. al.,

It was a pleasure to work with Jorge and Juan as they went about the task of improving our building. They did a great job, were attentive to our wishes, and cleaned up nicely every day. They represent you well.

Hello,

We are writing to express our thanks to Dagobarto for doing such a wonderful job painting the room we plan to use as a nursery for our new baby.

The prior paint job was not great and he did a fantastic job putting on the new color and trim, as well as cleaning up the mess that was already there. He was prompt, attentive, and professional and my husband and could not be happier with the results. The nursery looks fantastic.

Thanks again and we will certainly consider your company for paint work, and of course recommend your business to others we know.

Thanks,


P. & D. A.

We have used Williams Professional Painting for 15 years and will not use another company.

From the estimator, to the painters, to the owner - a top quality crew. Estimator was prompt, courteous and professional. This was a 5-day project. The painters were superior with excellent skills (including all dry wall patching and nail pop repair). They were professional, arrived on time, and cleaned up every day. The work looks so good that we don't want to re-hang our pictures and paintings. We have used Williams Professional Painting for 15 years and will not use another company. (Although we do get quotes from other companies to see the competition.)

These guys do charge a bit more than some others, but they are meticulous, polite and professional

Excellent work. These guys do charge a bit more than some others, but they are meticulous, polite and professional .The painter who did the job spent a LOT of time covering everything and taping up sheeting on the walls to ensure that nothing was damaged from the painting. He did a great job and, at the end, when I pointed out a small area that needed a tiny touch up, he happily took care of it (instead of complaining that he'd already packed up most of his stuff.) I also like that the supervisors check in (even on a one-day project) - when the painter had a question, he contacted the supervisor, and he came over very quickly while we discussed our options. In my opinion, they are worth the extra money. Also, look out on their FB page for deals - especially in the winter - ours covered free paint.

Outstanding Interior Painting

This email is to express my appreciation for the outstanding interior painting job by Williams Professional Painting.

As the name of your company implies, Luis and Edwin did a very professional job. A I previously mentioned, their wall preparation, painting skills, cleanup, and furniture/wall hangings replacement were very impressive. Luis' knowledge of complicated electronic wiring for audio and video equipment allowed him to perfectly restore all of my entertainment stuff. Equally important is that Luis and Edwin are genuinely great guys.

In closing, let me thank you and the administrative staff for your support.

Sincerely,


J.P.

I will definitely will use your services again!

I want to thank you for supporting my request so quickly. Also, I want to thank your staff for doing an outstanding job! I am very pleased with the service your entire team provided. I will definitely will use your services again and will pass on your information to my friends and family.

Again, thank you so much for everything!

Thank you for another job well done.

Just want to let you know that my husband and I are very pleased with the carpentry repairs done by Juan Maldonado and the painting done by Adalberto and Erik. As usual, all work was done in a professional manner. At the conclusion of the job, our outdoor furniture was moved back into place and the remaining paint was labeled, boxed, and placed in our garage – all we had to do was enjoy!

Thank you for another job well done.

Sincerely,


S & G

I Want To Thank You And Your Team

Rick:

I want to thank you and your team (Juan and Johnnie) again for the fantastic job they did painting our new townhome. They finished the job within our predetermined schedule and were reliable and trustworthy. The paint job is crisp and flawless. Juan was also tasked with renovating a nook above the fireplace -- he framed and drywalled it and mounted a 50" TV. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Please send him my regards as well.

We look forward to working with your team again down the line.

Best,
Evan Elan

I just wanted you to know that not only did they do a fantastic job,

Hi Amy & Alvis,

Adalberto & Cristian left about an hour ago, after finishing up the painting. I just wanted you to know that not only did they do a fantastic job, but they worked clean, were professional & were very accommodating. Every evening, before they left, they always checked with me to make sure that everything that I requested was being done, even to the point where I had forgotten to mention to the office , when I told them what paint I needed, that I needed Hi Gloss paint for some of the items. The next day they had the Hi Gloss. Nothing was ever a mess. the room furniture & floors were well protected with tarps, even all the flooring from the front door to whatever room they were working on. Their painting was flawless. I know, because I used to do all our painting, so I know what it takes to do such a fantastic job. Even with me taking my time, I could not do it half as good as Adalberto & Cristian.

In the evening when they were finishing up, they made sure everything was orderly, with their supplies organized & the floors vacuumed. Their was another gentleman here on the first day & his work was flawless as well.

I tried to write a review on some of the sites on the card that Adalberto gave me, but I guess I am not very computer savvy & could not do it. I will see if my husband can help me get to the correct site.

So thank you for your wonderful service. This is our 3rd time using Williams Professional Painting & we have never been disappointed & always extremely pleased.

We'd like to offer a HUGE thank-you to Debbie Miller at Move or Improve? for taking the time to share her experience. It's a privilege to be part of her trusted network of contractors.


Debbie Miller

You must be very proud to have them on your staff.

Your team supplied wonderful service to us in painting seven rooms, foyer, and two level central hallway --- two coats and stripping a wall of four decade old wallpaper, all in record time. They were inevitably cheerful, helpful in moving some heavy furniture, and always punctual. What a pleasure to work with them, a real credit to Williams Professional Painting. You must be very proud to have them on your staff. Best wishes,

Couldn't be happier!

JB is a master carpenter and painter.

Excellent work by the entire staff, from the owner who provided the overall estimate, to the workers and office staff. Professional, polite and punctual in all aspects. Work entailed carpentry, wallpaper removal, wall prep, crown moulding/boxes, chair rails and painting. We met with the company designer for color consult and some additional suggestions. Overall project took about a week. JB is a master carpenter and painter. He and his partner were punctual, worked diligently, and did a compete clean-up every day. JB did a walk-thru upon completion of the work to ensure we were completely satisfied. We have used Williams Professional Painting before for both interior and exterior painting and have been extremely pleased each time.

We have always been pleased with Williams Painting

Hi,

This week Juan completed several painting projects around our house and did a wonderful job.He was prompt, neat, and very detailed.The front stoop and trim that were repaired and painted look new (as new as a 180 year old house looks).Most impressive was the back gate.He took perfect measurements of the old rotten gate, built a new one, installed it using our historic hardware and painted it.All in an efficient and precise manner.We have always been pleased with Williams Painting and will continue to use them going forward.

Best,


J.S

You Can't Beat Good Customer Service

Alvis (the estimator) was prompt and responsive. We purchased the house in July, and requested costs for the above work, as well as potentially additional work (painting the living room, and painting the in-law suite in the basement). He broke down the costs for each section, allowing us to pick which work we wanted done. They also were very helpful in coming out to paint the window trim in one room that we needed painted before installing new blinds.

The onsite crew looked at the areas to be painted with us before proceeding. They were prompt in arrival times, and completed the work within the estimated time frame. There were a few drips onto the radiators that I found months after the painting (so obviously not reported to the company as it took me so long to find them!). But other than that, they did a really great job, and it\'s held up nicely so far.

Williams Professional Painting

Williams Professional Painting soundproofed a room in my condo by installing a layer of Quietrock over existing drywall. My goal was to soundproof against surrounding sounds coming from any of the neighbors. With the soundproofing work done by Williams Professional Painting, this goal has been attained. Abel, Rene, and Nestor were the team that installed the walls, and Rick (the business owner) and Jose oversaw the project. The team were consummate professionals. They have a lot of experience with installing Quietrock EZ-Snap and Green Glue. This type of drywall install is intensive work that requires specific skill and experience; for example, Green Glue cures fast after application, so walls with Green Glue need to be put up right after glue application. Abel and team knew all the details and did everything perfectly, including not only the Quietrock EZ-Snap and Green Glue install, but also extensively sealing all seams with acoustical caulk (Green Glue Noiseproofing Sealant was used for this), extending the electrical/cable/phone outlets and switches and adding Quietputty around them, putting back floor trim perfectly, and adding door trims (which Abel and team made) around room closet doors to match new wall thickness. At the end, they painted the room and the ceiling. They did a great job, engineering-wise (the soundproofing works great), and aesthetically (the walls, corners, ceiling, outlets, etc. look perfect, you wouldn't guess that a second layer has been added over the original). The painting job was also great. In addition, they finished in the timeframe initially agreed upon, and were attentive and responsive (to my many questions) throughout the project. Their work produced minimal amount of dust (they are pros at cutting & handling drywall). They also left the place very clean. In conclusion, a great experience.

It was a pleasure for me to have the Williams Professional Painting team transform my living space

Thank you so much. I am very pleased with how beautifully everything turned out. It was a pleasure for me to have the Williams Professional Painting team transform my living space. The guys who came to the house were just great. Walking through the door of my newly painted house makes me very happy. It feels like a new house!

Thank you for all your help in selecting the paint colors and also for dropping off the list of paints at my door the other day.

Best wishes,
Lisa
