I have worked with Sullivan Painting for over 15 years in the commercial and residential fields and have had excellent results. Sullivan Painting recently painted my own home and could not be happier. Thank you Kevin and crew.

Thank you for meeting with me last week to discuss our ongoing painting needs. As always you were prompt, courteous, and professional. As has been our work relationship for the past twenty years, I want to again reiterate my trust in your ability to handle our painting needs now and in the future. Your work has always been to the highest standard.

Sullivan Painting is the only company that we would use! They are competent, extremely clean, quick, respectful of our home and pay special attention to detail. They painted the entire interior of our home last year and did a fantastic job - and no additional clean up was needed on our part (including paint spatters).

Mountain Construction has been doing business with Sullivan Painting Service for 20 years because year after year, they deliver high quality, at a competitive cost, in a professional manner. We turn to Sullivan for the entire range of commercial/industrial projects we work on: new construction, renovation, shell & core, and tenant improvement.

At a chamber social I asked a friend if he had a recommendation for a commercial painter. He responded with the name of Kevin Sullivan - another friend overheard the answer and added his name to my short list of satisfied customers. Now, I'm adding my name. Good guy with friendly workers who actually know their stuff!

One of my friends invited me to dinner at their home at the Tacoma Country and Golf Club. I fell in love with their multi-colored bathroom. It looked so joyful and fun. The painting firm was Sullivan Painting Service owned by Kevin Sullivan. Kevin is easy to talk with, asks the right questions and besides knowing the answer follows through with excellent work.

Sullivan painting company came and painted our house early this summer. Two of their men came out, Brian and Abraham, who I would definitely recommend and I would feel comfortable with them painting our house again in the future or my friend's and family's homes. They were courteous and early birds (on time, or one day came earlier than expected which I was happy about so I didn't have to wait long that day for them to come by).

They came on a Thursday or Friday and pressure washed our two story house in a few hours, and came back to update all the caulking and paint. It only took them two days to paint the exterior: base, trim, and accent. They laid down material to keep paint from getting on the ground and windows and cleaned up their mess when they were done. They even painted our deck: pressure washed, sanded, hammered down nails, and even created a rough service in the paint to help prevent slippage I'm guessing for when it's icy or wet.

They taped off all windows while painting also. The men were respectful of our time and space, as the contract states they need a restroom in use to them during the job. But they still rang the door bell each time until I let them know it was OK to just come in when needed. And they informed us when they left for lunch or were leaving for the day.

Where they went above and beyond, outside of their scope of practice, but did it to create a completed project and great looking home, were they pressure washed the front side walk, garage door, and the kindest thing Brian did was pulled out an arm's length of lint out of our second story dryer vent! (We never checked it as we just moved and don't have a ladder). Gross but so helpful.

That was completely extra and if he's reading this review, I want to thank him, as the new dryer I bought works ten times faster!! :)
All in all, these guys would be trustworthy in residential or commercial jobs. They were referred to us by my father-in-law and I know he worked with them in a commercial job and told me how fantastic the job was there also. Search no more for a respectful, detail oriented, efficient paint company!! Our house is the best looking on the block now, thanks to Sullivan painting services!

We find that Sullivan's personnel are knowledgeable about products and application methods and able and willing to work collaboratively to find solutions to even the most challenging projects. Consistently, Sullivan Painting provides us with competitive pricing, quality workmanship and timely performance.

I met Kevin Sullivan, Owner when he was measuring my office to quote a job for my employer at the time. I was in the process of purchasing a house in need of exterior paint at the time and asked him to come out and quote the work, which he did. We got busy and didn't get around to having them actually do the work until two years later. But when they did, I was thoroughly impressed. Kevin's quote was detailed and fair.

Their contract clearly laid out what work they would perform, and what responsibilities fell on me as the customer (which was virtually nothing). When the crew showed up, they were courteous, professional, and mindful of the fact that I work from home and did not make excessive noise or do anything to disturb me. In fact, on the first day they were at the house, I was very sick with the flu and nearly slept right through them pressure-washing the house.

They pointed out that the screws holding on our gutters were too small, and helped me pick out the right ones for them to use when they re-installed them. The finished product was superb. Per the contact, they had re-caulked the siding and trim where necessary, and every surface was perfectly painted, as expected. They took care to cover every bush and plant, and even suggested I move my truck when they thought there was even a remote chance of overspray reaching it.

They took great care in taping and masking the house to avoid imprefections and wasted paint. They even made sure to keep their equipment out of the way of my garage door so that I could come and go as needed during the day, despite our tight driveway with limited space. Their quote was competitive, and there were no surprises when it came time to pay the bill.

I paid nearly the same amount for a group of friends to paint a much smaller house a few years prior, and although I was happy to give them my money and was not disappointed by the finished product, there is just no substitute for hiring a true team of professionals like Sullivan's.

Kevin Sullivan was horrible to work with. He blames the customer for mistakes his crew makes and does not manage his workload well. His contract is terribly slanted in his favor and he is unwilling to compromise. He quit mid way through the job and did not refund any of my deposit. Do NOT give him any money up front he isn't honest.

I have had Kevin paint my commercial building that houses my business twice. He has always done excellent work and has used the best of products. I would definitely recommend him.
