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.

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.

Absolutely Outstanding

They did an absolutely outstanding job. From the first day they came out here to look at what needed to be done, Rick Williams explained everything to me. He quoted a price to have the exterior of my home painted. He said they'd also do my mailbox, a shed, the post of a railing, as well as the shutters. They did everything. The two individuals who worked on the house, Luis and Jorge, were superb. They were so professional and always turned up on time. They were very clean. I never knew they were even here with how clean they were. Whenever I had any questions and needed to call, Rick answered or got back to me as quickly as possible. They're attitudes were lovely. I don't give high remarks to anyone that doesn't deserve it, but I can't speak highly enough about Williams Professional Painting.

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.

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.

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!

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,

Interior Painting Project in Alexandria, VA

The process of getting the estimate all the way through completion of the job could not have been more seamless or easy. We just purchased a new construction condo and initially thought we could do the painting ourselves but decided to at least get an estimate from a professional. The owner of the company actually did our estimate and was kind enough to point out serious mistakes in the builders painting job (such as the builder did not sand the walls before applying paint so the paint was rough in several spots). The estimate to paint our entire first level, the stairwell and the upper level hallway was incredibly reasonable and quite surprising. So we hired Williams right away. We were able to schedule the job quickly and the painting was completed in two days. They did a perfect job. There is no better way to qualify the quality of the work. We are so happy that we decided to hire Williams Professional Painting and they will definitely have our business in the future.

Once again a great experience working with Juan and Noel

We have used Williams Professional Painting for years and been very happy. Juan has come to our house at least twice and always displays a professional but friendly attitude. Our house has always been left clean and orderly. Yesterday, his helper included Noel who corrected many of the stains and problems with our ceiling. They arrived exactly on time too which is hard to do in this area's busy traffic. Thank you both for doing a great job and making it an easy experience once again.

Response: Thank you for your comments. we are very fortunate to have Juan and Noel working with us. We are glad you are happy and look forward to working with you again in the future

We Love Customer Feedback.

Hi Rick-

I just got home this morning from being out of town, and everything looks fantastic! I noticed they even painted the address plate on the front of the house, which I wasn't expecting. Thank you and your folks so much for the great work.

My Home Has Been Transformed

Just a short note to tell you how pleased we are with our new interior painting!

My home has been transformed from vanilla walls to a masterpiece of color. Working with your designers allowed me to match our existing furnishings perfectly. Luis and his crew were amazing and attended to every detail and question I brought forward. The ability of Williams painting to address every detail, like the molding that need to be fixed was wonderful because I just felt like I had to ask a question and you had a solution. Being able to turn my home over to your crew and go to work with piece of mind that my home was in capable hands was also a plus. As a busy professional , it would have been difficult to take the two weeks off and I didn't have to. Each night I came back to a home that was picked up and easy to live in while undergoing a major painting project. Can't wait to see what I can paint next! Thank you for such outstanding service


P.G.

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.)

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.

From Day 1 We Were Impressed.

My wife and I hired Williams Professional Painting to paint the entire interior of our new home in Ashburn. From day one, we were impressed by the high-level of service and professionalism of your company. Milton Chavez, the project manager, was attentive to all of our questions and responded to emails and phone calls in a prompt manner. The painters, Dagaberto, Johnny, and Jaime, were very skilled craftsmen. They did a beautiful job and took obvious pride in their workmanship. Everything was completed ahead of schedule and to our satisfaction. Thank you for such excellent service. We'll be sure to spread the word!
