We hired Tropical Painting to Remodel our house! Best decision ever. It is a 100 year old home in down town durham that needed a ton of love, I heard about them through a family friend and decided to go with them.
Mike was awesome at walking me through what needed to happen for this remodel,even handled the mold remediation that surprised us. He couldve just ripped out the floors that were affected but he was adamant on being thorough and making sure our space was safe, even went ahead and searched the walls as well. Our home now is just so warm and cozy, with the 100 year old charm still

When my fianc and I moved into our first home we experienced a flood that damaged the entire first floor of our home. We initially were working with a contracting company in Durham that was terrible. They were unresponsive which led us to wait 2 months of living with no floor in our home. After letting them go I found Tropical Painting and construction to repair the drywall in the bathroom where the flood started. I explained our situation and they immediately sent me and quote and fixed me into their busy schedule that week. The job was done in a day and the work was AWESOME. Everyone was super

They gave me a quote and were able to schedule installation the next day of my tile for the laundry room. I am very pleased with how it all turned out and would highly recommend. Thank you!
