Custom Colonial Painting is the best painting contractor in town! The entire basement, living room, and kitchen have been painted within the schedule. Getting an estimate and scheduling an appointment is a breeze. There are no hidden fees, and the quality of their work is excellent. Our painter was careful in his work and always wanted to make sure we were satisfied.

I had great confidence in having them working in my house right after meeting them. I highly recommend them without reservation and will use them again in the future if necessary.

Two years ago, We hired AJ and his team to paint our home's exterior, and they did a great job. And we gave them another call last week to paint our home's interior. They gave us the cost and time estimates which are very reasonable. They worked more precisely and faster than the last time we hired them. They completed the task earlier than we had anticipated it would take without compromising the quality of their work. I am very much impressed with the team's professionalism and incredible outputs.

I was in need of home painters to refurbish my home's interior. I extensively studied different home painter's companies because I want to have the best team I can afford. I came upon Custom Colonial Painting. They offer the most competitive and thorough estimates in the market. This company is a total package! They were dependable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.

Their after-sales services are impressive too. After the painting job was done, a crew came over to fix some areas with little over-painted sections. I would love to hire them again in the future!

From the several offers I received, I chose Custom Colonial Painting for several reasons. The service was excellent, and the price was fair. Some companies told me I was wasting their time seeking quotes, while others thought some components were optional. They were reasonable, and the result was fantastic. I employed them again for my entire house and received terrific results. Fast, professional, kind, and careful with my stuff.

They worked around my two large indoor dogs, so they weren't inconvenienced or stressed during the move. I love the colors in each area and that they painted some cabinets. Bravo!

We contacted Custom Colonial Painting to paint our one-bedroom condo because we're planning to sell it. The overall quality was exceptional. His staff did an excellent job, and they were punctual and professional. When the job was finished, our listing agent expressed the same sentiment. Everyone was pleased with the outcome of the project and the overall quality. This company is on the top of my list among house painting companies.

I consider this company a treasure, and I was lucky enough to find them. Their attention to detail is exceptional, and their priority is customer satisfaction which is very rare these days. I can tell that they're proud of their work and will not stop until their client is pleased with the output. They also offer the most competitive price I've ever encountered in the painting business. I recommended them to my friends, and they had the same great experience as me. I will surely call them again when I need a painting job done!

I highly recommend this company. They did an excellent job painting our house. Painting a two-story house in three colors cost him a decent amount. They were courteous, on time, and cleaned up after themselves every day. Since then, I've used them for two additional jobs, and they've been flawless. I'd highly suggest them to anyone in need.

Custom Colonial Painting is living proof that quality house painting contractors do exist. As one of the detail-oriented homeowners, I can't say anything bad about these guys. Their attention to detail was exceptional, and they were ready to guide us through every piece of information anytime we needed it. This company is the way to go if you want a fast, smooth, and honest service. Every penny we spent on the painting job was worth the investment. Excellent performance and fine-finished work.

This company did a fantastic job painting the exterior of our house. The whole crew was there every day to ensure that the project would be finished on time. They performed a wonderful job with the prep work, carefully cleaned up the mess each day after painting jobs, and even suggested small but important elements that we hadn't considered. The final outcome is stunning. It's apparent that client happiness is very important to their company. Without a doubt, I'd employ them again.

I've had a very smooth transaction with this team. They did a really excellent job. They exceeded my expectations when I saw the finished output. They manage to realize my imagination when I asked them to paint our 2-bedroom mobile home and make it look like a beach cottage. They pays close attention to the smallest things and took the time to understand my suggestions. They also offer the best price among four contractors that I've talked to. They're professionalism were highly appreciated. We'll definitely deal with them again.

After trying to solicit bids from about a half-dozen relatively local painting contractors (and getting only 3 responses), we settled on Custom, out of Durham, who gave us the best estimate to scrape, sand, and paint a 3-storey turn-of-the-century home and agreeing to 'bundle' in a new-construction barn. It was late in the season - early October - when they began, but were blessed by great weather (mostly - one week of rain).

The whole process took a little over 4 weeks. The lion's share of work was done by a single, very efficient, hard working, and polite young man, Oriel. From time to time, he was assisted by one or two others. He was always on-site on time and rarely left before 6 pm, after carefully cleaning up after himself and his helpers. Towards the end of the project, a foreman made two separate visits to inspect the progress and quality of the work. Finally, the Project Manager, Dave, came out - once to walk the site around and marked a number of areas he felt were not 'up to standard' (I was astonished!

I had noted a couple myself, but figured that was to be expected. No big deal. I can touch them up myself next spring. Too fussy to bother them with.). The foreman (also a very nice man) came the next day and made the fixes, after which Dave returned and we repeated the walk-around inspection a second time. A SPECTACULAR job these folks did! Everyone from Custom Colonial we encountered was the definition of professional: quality and detail oriented, punctual, tidy and polite. We would absolutely recommend them to family, friend, or stranger alike.

Custom Colonial painted the entire exterior of my three-story colonial home. They did a beautiful job, finished when they said they would and all at a reasonable price. Also, everyone we interacted with was very pleasant to work with. We would use them again. Service: Exterior painting

We recently had our exterior trim painted by Custom Colonial Painting, and they did a wonderful job. I could not have asked for a more professional job. The crew arrived on time and ready to work, but only after Eduardo reviewed everything that needed to be done with the crew. The job took two days, and after it was determined they were finished, a walk around was done with my husband and myself to be sure everything was to our liking.

The two workers, Marcel and Rafael, were courteous and did extremely neat work. When we are ready to have our interior rooms repainted, I will request this crew. Wonderful work, great attitude, very interested in pleasing us, and they certainly did. Great company!

This painter is first-rate in every respect. They came highly recommended by neighbors. Painted the exterior, including scraping and prep to bare wood, primer, final coat, all window trimming and at a competitive price. The estimate was done promptly and the final bill was the same. The crew was careful with landscaping, working with neighbors and pets. Really impressive!

Very professional in the way the whole team handled the project, the painting team did an excellent quality job, cleaned site every day and were fast in completing the job. Customer service was also good and a company representative visited site to inspect work and meet us to check if everything was good. Very satisfied with this company.

Highly recommend. If you are unsure just take a look at all the reviews. Called up, was very flexible meeting me for review. Once I agreed to quote work started within a few days, and all work completed within a week. Work environment kept clean, workers very courteous, experienced, and were not intrusive. Very responsive to any of my questions and concerns. High quality work.

They did a great job. We had picked a bad color and they immediately called me and emailed photo's to ask whether it was what we wanted, giving us advise. We had them change paints and the results were great, They did the house, shutters and deck with different paints and it all looks terrific. Would recommend them to anyone I knew.

I am a perfectionist and love my beautiful home, Custom colonial was more expensive than the other quotes I received, but i wanted the best and I was not disappointed. The work is flawless and they were very accommodating and anxious to please. My exterior doors are stained and some were not in great shape and they did an excellent job sanding and restoring them to look as good as possible. I Highly recommend them.

Hired company for exterior painting of trim (windows, eaves, soffits, etc.) and porches of an old, tall house (some painting companies didn't want the job due to height). AJ scheduled our job quickly. AJ was accommodating and the painters were hard working, friendly and polite. AJ's quote was very fair. We hope to secure Custom Colonial for future projects.
