I have had tons of painting done over the years by contracting out myself or by the sub-contractors that come with my contractor. Gary Dredla and his assistant Buddy were the most professional, most knowledgeable, most meticulous painters ever. They cost more than the other guys but you get what you pay for. Gary was professionally trained to be a painter — he did not just pick up and brush and paint and then call himself a painter. Wow, It shows and really made a difference in the staining he did on the closet doors. They are new birch doors that amazingly came out beautiful despite my originally wanting to send one back due to the big differences in the wood grain on the set. His talent made them match which is good because that door had to be custom made due to odd size. These painters can work with minimal protection because they are artists with brushes. For the first time ever I did not have spots on the tile or the carpet or the sidewalks — no drips! Everything meticulous. I am pretty sure that they work all over Austin because they had jobs out north before my job and in Barton Creek out west after my job.
