I hired Elegant Custom Painting to stain our stair railing. From the time of the consultation all the way until the end of the project, Eddie was such a pleasure to work with. He explained the entire process, timeline and answered all of my questions. During the project, he and his team were very professional, punctual, and they did a great job. I love the final results. Thank you Eddie and team! I highly recommend them for any of your painting needs.

I originally found Elegant Custom Painting while looking at home improvement stuff on Instagram. I watched their videos and posts and knew their work was top notch. I gave them a follow and eventually had the owner Eddie come for an estimate. We ended up hiring him and his team for our kitchen cabinets and stairs and couldn't be any happier. They are meticulous and perfection would be an understatement. Very glad we went with them, they know what they're doing!

We absolutely enjoyed working with Eddie and his team. They were professional, on time, very detail oriented and proud of their excellent work. We had remodeled our house a few years ago and didn't realize how bad of a paint job the previous company did until Eddie and his team demonstrated how much better everything looks and will last when it is done professionally. They really did a magnificent job. We would and will hire them again and can highly recommend them.

If you are in the market for an elegant new fresh paint, LOOK NO FURTHER! Eddie and his team from Elegant Custom Painting is the best! We hired them to refinish and paint our old oak kitchen cabinets. They'd did an incredible job! We are very pleased with the finish product. Eddie and/or his team showed up every morning at 7am. There were always at least 2 and sometimes up to 6 employees working on the job! One evening they worked until 10 pm in the evening. Every one of his staff was very profession, pleasant, and hard working. Eddie is a "perfectionist" and requires the same of his team! You
