Exterior Painting Company in Gaithersburg, MD

Williams Professional Painting, Inc. BBB Business Review
 Exterior Painting Company in Gaithersburg, MD

It can be hard to find a good service company, whether you are looking for an auto mechanic, a plumber, or a local house painter. That's why, when we find a reliable company with good customer service, we tend to keep going back time and time again. How do you get to that point, though? Is it just trial and error? Or is there a better way to find your Gaithersburg exterior painting company?

Finding the right painting contractor is neither magic nor rocket science! If you just follow a simple set of steps, you have a great chance of finding a house painter you'll be delighted with. Best of all, you'll never need to repeat the search as long as you live in Gaithersburg!

Create Your List of Potential House Painters

While your first instinct might be to search on your phone or computer, and that is one good method to find painters, that should not be your only method. Begin by asking your neighbors, family members, friends, and coworkers here in Gaithersburg if they have any recommendations. When you hear a recommendation (or a warning!) from someone you trust, it means much more than what a stranger says online.

When you do search your internet search, don't just look at the top search results. Often, those are major nationwide companies and paid advertisers (sponsored results). As you look over the local painting companies that come up, look at reviews from genuine customers. Google Reviews can be helpful, as well as Yelp, HomeAdvisor, and so on. Don't let one bad review turn you off, but if you see several clients all say the same negative thing, don't ignore it!

National Painting Chains Versus Local Painting Companies

Just like national chain restaurants, when you work with a painting chain, their business model relies on high volume of sales. They are not focused on making relationships and developing long-term clients.

In contrast, a local family-owned painting company is invested in your community. They know that every painting project will either build or destroy their reputation, and they desire to win every first-time customer into a customer for life! This means you can count on their dedication to personalized, excellent service. Also, you can be assured they will stand behind their work.

Narrowing It Down to One Painter

Once you have a list of 3-5 exterior painting companies, it is time to begin the "interview" process. This is the time when you contact each company and ask for a free exterior painting estimate. Throughout the whole process, you will be gathering information and forming an impression.

What do you look for when you compare Gaithersburg exterior house painters? The main thing to consider is how comfortable you feel with them. Do you get a sense of competence and professionalism from the employees? Do you feel valued and understood? Would you feel safe with these people in or around your home?

Here are a few other things to look for or ask about:

Timeliness: do they pick up their phones and/or respond to your communication in a timely way? Do they arrive at the agreed upon time for the estimate?

Professionalism: do they have company vehicles and employee uniforms/dress code? Do they provide a written estimate on company letterhead?

Documentation: are they willing to provide you with proof of licensing and insurance?

When you compare the estimates, make sure you look at the details. How many coats of paint will they put on? Exactly what surfaces will they be painting? How much surface preparation will they do?

Making Your Choice

Now that you have gathered all the information you can, it's time to make a choice. You won't want to go with the lowest estimate, generally, but with the painting contractor who seems most likely to provide you with positive customer service and excellent painting. If you are still not ready to commit to a major project with any of them, try hiring them for a small project first, and see how they do.

Our Happy Customers

It Was A Bit Pricey, But.....

They were able to come in and paint the bedroom with less than one weeks notice. It was a bit pricey, but I chalk that up to the short turn on the job. The painter came about 8:30 a.m. and finished up about 3 p.m. A helper joined him to move the furniture, but it was one painter on the job for the bedroom. They completely cleaned up behind them and did a wonderful job. We'll definitely be looking to hire them for the ceilings when we're ready to finish our painting.

Lisa came to visualize the planned project

Dear Mr. Williams,

In December 2014, I arranged for a sizable interior painting project with your company. This was the fourth time that Williams Professional Painting would undertake a job in my home. This recent experience has been completed and was truly an outstanding display of workmanship with the total job a resounding success.

Mr. Rick Williams provided the initial project assessment and estimate which included 3 bedrooms, an office/study, entry foyer, hallway and staircase. As colors were planned to change, Rick suggested we hire Lisa Reyes, your professional interior designer. Lisa came to visualize the planned project and listened to our color ideas and preferences for each room and then brought out her myriad color palates to narrow the selections. Lisa was a sure help! She offered great ideas and suggestions for colors and applications, so that all parties were confident that the right colors were chosen for each location. To assure these selections, Lisa created a 12 by 12 inch sample of each color at her Williams paint studio and then returned for viewing on each wall. Colors were spot on and the project was a go! Shortly thereafter, Lisa called and provided the official start date, time and project manager’s name.

On start date, Bryan and Dagoberto “D2” arrived, introduced themselves and set to work. These two workmen arrived each day on time, even during an icy weather morning, reviewed their plan for the day and set to accomplishing the task. In addition to routine company policy of removing and patching picture hooks, covering all the floors and moving and covering all the furniture, Bryan and D2 showed thorough attention to small details (as removing all switch plates, socket plates, and door knobs prior to painting and then reinstalling); saving all the old picture hangars, and safeguarding some small items. One ceiling area near a skylight required drywall repair. Again D2 showed his craftsmanship with amazing results. You would never realize a repair was there.

Seeing the daily fantastic results and how fresh everything looked resulted in adding another area for painting. While Lisa was on site to see the progress, we asked if a second staircase could be added to this project. She immediately contacted Bryan and D2 to determine if there was sufficient paint and then contacted Rick for a price estimate. All was a go again, and are we ever glad that this added area was able to be painted. What a finishing touch!

Overall, Williams Professional Painting remains one of metro D.C.’s true treasures. Each day allowed us to experience painting expertise; daily work team communication and plan for the next day was appreciated and left no guesswork. Finally, it was such fun to see the painter’s satisfaction in our positive reactions. As repeat customers, the entire Williams’ enterprise is professional, reliable, personable, and thorough and will continue to be my ‘painter of choice’ and the only one I will recommend. Continued success to Williams Professional Painting!

Sincerely,


Jane Mead

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!

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

I wanted to let you know that Walter and Caesar were awesome when they came by to paint our 4th Floor space. They were friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. Their attention to detail in both painting and keeping the area clean and tidy did not go unnoticed. Thanks for sending us such a great pair of guys.

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.

A Professional Interior Painting Project

Hi Dave,

Gabriela mentioned that I should send a note to you when I called to let her know how happy we were with the services that Jose, JB, and Rodrigo provided. Jose and Tim found a great team to help us finish the job when we determined that we needed a team with experience with durarock instead of drywall. Jose was patient and very attentive to our concerns.JB and Rodrigo replaced part of our walls and repainted the damaged walls and ceiling. Their work is beautiful. I can't even tell there was ever water damage in those areas. They also took great care in making sure our furniture was protected and to minimize dust. Their clean up exceeded expectations. Thanks for sending over such a great team! We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Kind regards,

A nice review for our foreman D2

D2 did an excellent job. The bedroom never looked so good..He was polite, efficient and skilled. He spotted and repaired nail holes and surface imperfections that were not particularly noticeable. And the result was beautiful. I would definitely recommend him.

With all the adverse conditions, they worked quickly, were thorough.

Dear Mr Williams,


I'd like to tell you that Luis and his crew did a wonderful job painting our unfinished basement.

It was a crummy job because the place was dusty and dark. The worst thing was that the water department turned off the water at the street for maintenance the day they started. (It still has not been restored.) they also had to deal with some old cabinets that hadn\'t been removed before the painting was half finished.

With all the adverse conditions, they worked quickly, were thorough, and did a lovely job. My only problem is that I am disappointed with my color choice. Which has nothing to do with their workmanship.

Thanks for a truly professional team. I\'ve been happy with Williams painters for years. Alvis Hermes is always excellent to work with.

Sincerely,
G. T.

The final result is beautiful

Ricardo Salas was the foreman on the two man crew that repaired extensive damage and painted my house this week. He arrived to the minute on time, and worked with discipline and skill all day every day. He went above and beyond to make the work perfect..even painting the tiny ceiling space above the huge window near the ceiling. He was polite and courteous.He is one of the finest workers I have ever seen at my home. The final result is beautiful. Thank you.

As we told the crew, they made the house beautiful.

Dear Williams family,

We needed an experienced company to paint the interior of our 2200 sq. ft. 1948 brick rambler. The walls and ceilings in the original part of the house are plaster on wood lathe. During its 65+ years, the walls and ceilings were showing cracks suffered from settling, earthquake, and a mediocre paint job done by someone else 10 years ago requiring more prep time than the 1990-91 addition (drywall and wallpaper to be removed).

Once we decided that we were ready to have the house painted, we began interviewing painting companies and chose Williams Professional Painting for reasons both tangible and intangible.

A work colleague had recommended them based on their results on the exterior painting of their home.

We attended a complimentary paint consultation seminar hosted at Williams’ plant. Attendees included real estate agents, previous clients, and potential new business opportunities like us. The class was conducted by an experienced painting and color design consultant.

The plant was clean, well-stocked, and well-organized with paints and paint samples, ladders, and drop clothes for pending jobs. It was there that we met the Williams family. We knew that we could trust this family to do the job right.

Rick, the owner’s son, inspected our home twice to gauge the amount and type of work required. He then decided which of his crews had the mix of skills required to perform the job. Our crew foreman was Jose G., and the team included Ricardo, Jaime, Jhoiner, Marvin, and Dagoberto.

They did all the big and little things right, such as the following:

The crew was punctual starting every day at 7:30 AM. They worked the entire day of the mid-January snow storm and appeared the day after that storm at the same 7:30 AM starting time. They worked the entire day breaking only for a brief lunch, which they ate on the premises. They concentrated on their tasks throughout the days. They took extra care protecting our belongings including babysitting the 2 dogs if they got out. They were conscientious when it came to keeping the outside gates closed so there would be no runaway dogs. They asked us clarifying questions if there ever was the possibility of doubt. There was never any sense that any of the valuables in the house were in any jeopardy. At the end of every day, they cleaned their tools and carefully vacuumed our rugs and floors. They left the house spotless. They organized, consolidated, and covered with a tarp all of their materials and equipment in a central area that was the least intrusive to our family and pets. They offered a touch-up visit if needed before we put the house up for sale in 2015.
The crew from Williams Professional Painting made the paint project as painless for us as possible. As we told the crew, they made the house beautiful. The repair s and preparation work were superb. They know their profession and are craftsmen. We thanked them very much, and told them that they made our home beautiful. No one could have done a better job than they did.

This is what we told them: Usted ha hecho mi casa realmente hermosa. Han echo un trabajo maravilloso. No podríamos haber pedido nada mejor.

I would like to thank Milton for selling me on your company and setting a price within our budget

Rick,

I would like take this opportunity to express my gratitude for a job well done by you and your staff. I would like to thank Milton for selling me on your company and setting a price within our budget for the scope that I specified. I also want to thank him for his follow up during the course of the project.

Next I would like to thank Lisa. Her renderings of the finished product were great and convinced me that I had made the correct choices in color and where to apply them. I was really up in the air about some of my thoughts and she was able to put everything on paper to assist me in selling the idea to my General Manager.

Last but not least I want to thank JB your foreman and the crew. These men where awesome. I never received one complaint about them, the quality of their work, or that they ever caused an issue by blocking traffic in our very busy entry. They always managed to have the lifts out of the way of automobile and foot traffic and I never had one complaint about them getting one drop of paint where it should not have been. They work was very nicely done and the work site was always clean and neat even after quitting time.

Rick, employees are either assets or liabilities to employers. Believe me when I tell you all the folks mentioned in this review are assets to Williams Professional Painting.

Williams Professional Painting

Carlos was the crew leader when I had my newly purchased condo painted in July. I know Edison worked several days but I do not know the name of any of the other workers. I had the walls, ceiling, trim & doors, and kitchen & bathroom cabinets painted as well as new hinges and hardware installed on all the cabinets. Plus Williams Prof Painting removed a big ugly mirror, repaired the drywall and installed crown molding in the living room, dining room and hall way. All this was going on at the same time I had hardwood floors installed. I was on a very tight time frame and Carlos did yeoman’s duty keeping the job moving along and keeping me informed every step of the way. There were a few really minor, minor hiccups…to be expected when you have this much activity going on in a small space. Carlos worked until after 7 PM the night before I moved in. Did I mention it was the hottest week of the year and the A/C stopped working? All of this was done with no sacrifice in quality.

I was so pleased with the work of Carlos and Edison that I requested either of them when I hired Williams Prof Painting to do some minor ceiling drywall repair and painting touch-up after I changed out a kitchen ceiling light fixture in September.

The prices for the whole condo job and the small kitchen ceiling repair job were exactly what was quoted. The crown molding was time and material and the final price for the crown molding was within $100 of the verbal ballpark range the estimator gave me. No additions and no surprises.

William Professional Painting is not the low price contractor but the price is very competitive for the quality of work performed. I will ask for Carlos or Edison at Williams Professional Painting any time I need painting or professional carpentry/drywall repairs.

Exterior Painting And Carpentry. Alexandria, VA.

I had a third-story gutter that was drip-leaking over my deck. I would like to commend Juan Maldonado and his helper for inspecting, ascertaining the problem, and rectifying it. He reviewed the problem, recommended the fix, and after the go-ahead, proceeded to implement it.

It will take another hard rainfall to determine if the repair eliminated the issue completely, but the measures taken by Mr. Maldonado and his crew were well-thought out from his experience, and executed very professionally.

Thanks,

They were on time each morning

The team we had to do the painting were Adalbarto and Enrrique. They did and excellent job. They were on time each morning. They carefully protected the floor and furniture. They acted in a very professional matter. The paint job was well done and we are very satisfied. We will call you again if we need additional painting done.
