Client Testimonials
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
Again, fabulous job! After our recent exterior painting several months ago (see the review in November 2022) we just hired them for some interior window painting. They did a great job, cleaned up afterwards, and were a pleasure to work with. Our windows look like new! Justin has great organization, Martin is on top of everything, and the crew were all very skilled and diligent. They are easy to contact and their responses are prompt. I highly recommend them!
Justin and his crew were super professional and easy to communicate and collaborate with throughout the whole process. If you need painting or restoration work, definitely give Fresh Coat a shout. They're top-notch, and we can't recommend them enough!
Rare is it to find old fashioned professionals with good service. Jeff provided excellent insights regarding a kitchen painting project and in my opinion one can rest assured the work will be done well. It's just a project that at my place needs more time to consider and save for the options.
