We used Absolute because they came recommended to us.
Pros: owner is very professional, employees are respectful excellent prep of walls
Cons: we are still finding spots that arent covered. Looking back over the estimate, it doesnt state 2 coats; it states complete coverage. Its smart wording for sure. The walls had never been painted, so 1 coat looked sufficient from a distance, but there were some big spots that didnt get touched up. And it would be nearly impossible to walk around and find every place that needed to be touched up (especially when youre talking about 2300

I interviewed tons of painters and was hesitant to use somebody that was not referred by somebody else that I knew. I took a chance with Absolute A painting and could not have been more pleased. The work was such a good value for the price, so professionally done. He removed old rotten wood, replaced wood, caulked, and removed debris. The exterior of our home looks 100% better. He is a wonderful professional painter and we will be using him for the interior.

Id admired several jobs of AbsoluteA on my Sterling Point bike route for a couple years until I finally had to ask the homeowner to who made their house the showcase of the block. Owner couldnt say enough about Chris and how meticulously and beautifully his job was done. Absolute A restored my deck and put new life in some sorry looking planks . Now I gotta new furniture to complete the glam deck makeover. Like I told Chris,
Im more than happy - Im satisfied ! Ill use Absolute A for all of my future painting projects for real real.
