Interior Painting in Rockville, Maryland

Williams Professional Painting, Inc. BBB Business Review
 Interior Painting in Rockville, Maryland

Our culture is very familiar with the refrain that it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. While that should not lead us to neglect our home exteriors, it is true that we spend much more of our lives viewing the interior of our homes. With so much of our lives contained between those interior walls, making them beautiful is a worthwhile investment! But how do you know which Rockville interior house painter you can trust? How can you make sure your interior painting company is a joy to work with, and not a headache?

Early Research: Narrowing Down your House Painter Options

The first step is to gather a list of house painters in the Rockville region, and then narrow it down to three or four companies. A quick search on your computer or phone will yield plenty of results. How do you narrow them down?

Don't just look at the top couple of results from your search engine. Often, these are paid results, so their placement does not represent their quality. Instead, look for reviews on sites like Google, Yelp, Homeadviser, Angie's List, and so on.

In addition to online reviews, ask your neighbors and coworkers whom they have worked with. They can help you avoid the companies they have had bad experiences with, and give you referrals for house painters they have appreciated.

Once you have narrowed down the options to three or four, it is time to get estimates and evaluate each company in person.

How the Painting Estimate Process Helps You Choose

As you begin to communicate with each Rockville painting company, evaluate their professionalism. Is there website up-to-date? Do they answer their phones or emails promptly? Are they responsive and polite? Does their estimator show up as scheduled, wearing company clothing? Do you feel like the estimator listens to you and understands your needs and goals for the project?

After these first impressions, it is time to ask some important questions. If a company is hesitant or unable/unwilling to answer them, that should be a red flag.

  • Ask for proof of state licensing
  • Request proof of liability and worker's compensation insurance
  • Discuss what kind of warranty, if any, the company provides

How to Read a Painting Estimate

There is no standardized format for painting estimates; each company has its own way of doing this. Besides the general tidiness and professionalism, here are some details to look for:

  • What level of surface preparation they will do
  • Whether or not they will apply primer
  • How many coats of paint they will apply
  • What quality of paint will they use
  • Exactly what surfaces are included or excluded

Beware of any vagueness on a written estimate. Some unscrupulous painters leave out details on purpose, and then claim that those items are extras that you need to pay above the contracted amount for.

Work done recently on our deck

I want to thank you for the work done recently on our ipe deck. Ricardo Salas and Pablo power washed the deck, removing several years of tree drippings and grime, and then applied the new stain.They did a good job working around the white painted railings and pergola posts.The result is beautiful and the deck looks brand new. The workmanship was excellent and they clearly knew the proper way to apply the stain.

Thank you.

They have painted my church. They have painted my house. They have painted more property than anyone else I know. Williams Professional Painting is a very good firm to deal with and they provide excellent service.

Exterior Carpentry And Painting

Greetings:

I was very pleased with the work that Dagobarto, Fidel & Les did on the 27th replacing two rake boards on my house. The three men were friendly and professional. Les’ presence helped a lot because he made sure I knew that I wouldn’t be charged for the time D2 and Fidel spent getting paint, the PVC boards and a taller ladder.

If I were Dave I’d wonder why the crew showed up without those items. If they had they could have fit in another job in the time it took to get what they needed. That’s not a hit on D2, Fidel or Les.

So, as I told Les, Williams Painting remains on my short list when my home needs to be painted again – probably not for a couple of years.

Regards,

Old Town Crescent Unit Owners Association

This past Friday, March 29, 2013, Williams Professional Painting concluded their work on the interior of our building and the final check has been issued under the contract into which we entered back in February 2012. For purposes of your records and knowing what paint was used, please be advised we used Benjamin Moore “Pale Oak” on the first floor and a custom blend we titled “Nimbus 50%” for floors 2-roof vestibule, also manufactured by Benjamin Moore. Due in part to circumstances beyond our control, the project took longer than expected, but was well worth the wait considering the following five factors that help demonstrate the extra value we received under this contract:

  • the paint class was upgraded to “Aura,” the highest quality available, and wallpaper areas addressed twice, at no extra cost to the Association;
  • the painters worked quietly and on weekends, and Dave Williams even placed himself in harm’s way by photographing an intruder and likely criminal;
  • Dave Williams and his painting staff were professional at all times and exhibited extraordinary amounts of patience in addressing our every concern;
  • Dave Williams acted as a consultant during the paint selection phase and accommodated our many requests to test a multitude of paint samples; and
  • Williams Professional Painting made an inordinate amount of extra trips to our property, which costs the firm time and money, in order to accommodate our preferences, coordinate with our redesign schedule, and paint, repaint and caulk several areas outside the contract scope at no charge to the Association because he was not satisfied.

Given the high level of commitment Williams Professional Painting made to our property, it was considerably important – and fair – that this extra information be imparted to you. The Board anticipates budgeting for “upkeep” painting to keep the common elements as pristine as they look now. While the Board cannot offer an endorsement of a particular contractor to you, I have personally been impressed enough by the perfectionist efforts of Williams Professional Painting to retain them in the near future to paint my private residence and therefore have copied Dave Williams on this message in case you wish to consider him for the same. Although Williams Professional Painting will not be able to offer us a viable solution to paint the exterior elevator doors and entryway cladding on floors 2 – roof vestibule, the Board is engaged in discussions with an elevator specialist who purportedly has the technology to make those surfaces more receptive to paint engineered just to adhere to those challenging types of entryways.

A great review on a finished project in Washington, DC

Dave – I would just like to express my appreciation in writing for the wonderful job Williams did in the recent painting (8/19 –8/28/15) of my home. The painters worked tirelessly from early morning to late afternoon. I was fortunate in having Dagoberta D2 as the team leader. Not only was he an excellent painter but he kept me informed of the progress of the work and what I could expect each day. The work was challenging. It included removing wallpaper from two closets, one partitioned into upper and lower halves. Working in these small spaces would test one’s physical and mental toughness. Suffice it to say that both closets look like works of art now with smoothly painted walls and woodwork. The team of painters also included Erick, D1, Rodrigo, and Enrique. They were all extremely hardworking and pleasant.

While the painting of the interior has made the house look new, the exterior painting has made it look like a show house. Neither would have been possible without the help of Williams’ Designer Lisa Reyes. Lisa steered me in the right direction with color choices. I could easily still be bogged down by decisions if she had not given her stamp of approval to selections we considered early on.

Finally the work might not have gotten off the ground without the help of Jose Guzman. In the period preceding the work, Jose came to my home twice as I struggled to finalize my requests. On the day that the painting began, Jose arrived to orient Dagoberta D2 on the scope of the project, remembering even the smallest details. Throughout Jose kept in touch with me and with the team.

As a homeowner I could not have asked for a better experience with a company. I hope that I have an opportunity to work with Williams again.

Respectfully,

Hi Alvis. I just wanted to thank you for your help. Carlos S. came to my house yesterday to do the work we talked about earlier. I loved him. He was such a nice person and very professional throughout the entire process. I really appreciated the way he explained everything to me and did all the work so carefully. I felt very fortunate that Carlos was assigned to my project. I will request him for my next project too. And I have many more things on the list. Thanks, Alvis.

Exterior Painting Estimate

I didn't actually get any work done by Williams because my timeline would not work with the schedule but they actually sent me an email to let me know that they would have to decline the opportunity to work on my project. This is the first time I've ever received such a courtesy from contractors in the home improvement business, and I cannot express how wonderfully professional this is. I have had far too many experiences of contractors coming out to estimate, only to never contact me again, or to go through the trouble of sending me a quote and then never actually schedule the work.


While I did find someone who was able to do the work I requested in my short time frame, in the future, I will definitely contact Williams again for a bid. Just this email was enough to tell me about the company culture here, and I have great confidence in their professionalism.

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.


P.S.

His work and attention to detail is exceptional.

To Whom it May Concern

Juan Maldonado worked as a carpenter on a project for us during May of 2014. His work and attention to detail is exceptional and we are very happy with the outcomes. He spent time making sure that he clearly understood each element of the project and came up with various options for solving it. We appreciated his thoughtful approach and also his capability in execution. We would be happy to work with Juan again in the future. He also speaks excellent English which helped to bridge any barriers of understanding.

Your Team Is Amazing!!!!

Rick,

Thanks so much....and can I say what a pleasure it is to work with Williams and especially this crew. Jose is a keeper!!!!!! I have had major issues with our flooring contractor this week in another part of the building. It was such a dramatic comparison between their work ethic and quality as compared to what was going on in the Vestry. Your team is amazing!!!!!!!! (I actually just sent the other sub packing and insisted that another crew be provided for next week.)

LOVE WILLIAMS PAINTING!!!!!!!!!

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 was impressed by their ability to work together as a team.

Milton Chavez provided a written estimate (for labor and materials) that was in line with actual costs. This was not the lowest estimate we received, but did seem to be in line with the skill level of the workers who did the repairs. I was impressed by their ability to work together as a team and to communicate closely with us for the three days they were on site. Both master carpenters, Dagoberto Rodriguez and another gentleman whose name I cannot recall, were thoroughly professional in every respect. While they were at work, I felt our house was in good hands. It was a pleasure to work with them. We would definitely hire them again for future work.

Alberto and Omar did a wonderful job painting my kitchen

Just to let you know that Alberto and Omar did a wonderful job painting my kitchen. It looks really beautiful. They were totally professional and extremely pleasant and I appreciate the fact that you sent Omar to help after the mix-up regarding scheduling this job. Thanks again for your help and I'll be in touch regarding some work to do in the basement.

Adalberto and his assistants did an excellent job

Dear Rick,

Thank you so much for your help in making our townhomes more beautiful. We really appreciate your work with our home owner association and the efforts of D2, Jose, and Jairo. They worked hard and were always pleasant and helpful when we had questions for them.

We will definitely tell our neighbors to hire you and request D2, Jose, and Jairo when they need a house painting project.

Best regards,
L. H.

She was very gracious and helpful.

Lisa was great. We were in sync with regard to paint choices and other related issues. Thanks for arranging her visit. She was very gracious and helpful. I intended to send you an email but had a dental appointment today.
Lisa is going to check on some additional items and get back with me.
Thanks again.

I have been thrilled with my entire experience with Williams Professional Painting.

I have been thrilled with my entire experience with Williams Professional Painting. The website is easy to negotiate, the phone number and email produce immediate results and they worked with my schedule. Milton Chavez came out for an estimate and he has kind, helpful and efficient. The very next day, Franklin and Carlos showed up. They did a wonderful job. The place looks great and it is so clean. They also put everything back where they found it and even retrieved a couple of "lost" toys that were hiding behind big pieces of furniture. They worked very efficiently, but also thoroughly, and then they walked me through the whole job afterwards. They did a living room that opens to a kitchen and a hallway - all were painted one color - and they also did chair rails, molding and doors. It looks just wonderful. They also took old paint with them that I know longer need. I am so pleased and I will both recommend them to others and use them myself for future jobs.
