I see all these glowing reviews from satisfied clients, but I have a bit of a different positive review to leave here. Im not a client, Im up in Ottawa, Ontario, where Ive been researching best ways to get rid of lead paint from the pine floors that I want to expose in my newly purchased circa 1900 home. Im not a reno pro, but Im very experienced and capable in woodworking, have refinished floors in the past, etc, just not experienced with safest/proper tools and procedure for lead abatement. The SFW website kept coming up in my searches with all their great info and videos featuring

All-around outstanding work. Excellent follow-through and closure (and we have a couple of REAL fussy unit owners). The crews were all very nice people, and they were meticulous with cleanup each day. We're going to have them do our interior, as well

Worst communication with a company ever. Much like other reviewers, I was estimated a much lower price than was actually charged. I was told it would take a day with a couple of guys to re-caulk and paint our trim. It ended up costing 3.5 times as much because it took them almost 3 days to finish. This is a very small house by the way, very uncomplicated trim. I didn't get a chance to talk with them about it until the 3rd day because they left so early on the first day without checking in with me and then came back on a day I couldn't be home. And guys, they did a horrible job. Why did

What a shady company! Whatever you do, don't use SFW Painting. We used SFW Painting to paint our carport. They had a booth at one of the home & garden shows at the Expo Center, so we signed up to get an estimate. Well, the estimate was a great price, so we decided to go with them. Nowhere in the estimate did they include what the prep work would cost and for prep, they bill you by the hour! Well, the cost of the prep work was twice what the original estimate was. Please do not use them. Go with someone who doesn't lure you in by giving you a fake estimate that seems like you&apos

Recently completed interior painting by SFW Painting. Great experience, from initial contact through to final invoice payment. The painters (Wendy and Max) were careful, considerate, thorough, and professional. The estimate and work in progress accounting was fair, transparent, and responsive. Highly recommended.

We chose SFW Painting to paint our house, based on the recommendation of SFW Construction, who did major siding work on our house. We had several other bids, SFW was a bit less money, and said they could be done fairly quickly: one day to prep, two days to paint. Well, SFW Construction was great, so surely SFW Painting would be too, right?

Things started out well, the estimator made copious notes, and said that he would be supervising the paint crew. We are super chemical sensitive so couldn't be around when the painting was going on, so good to know that the supervisor would be there to
