Top Coat Painters

Gene and his crew painted the exterior of my 1850 year old house which included sanding, grinding, priming and painting all the clapboard siding and trim.
Let me preface – I am not the type of person who scores anything with the highest marks because I believe that there is almost always room for improvement. However, in this case, I can’t find any reason why Top Coat painters should get anything lower than an A in all categories. Gene, Fran, and their crew (Kerry and Justin) were amazing! Although initially I thought the quote for the house was a little pricey, those thoughts disappeared almost immediately when I realized the expertise, care, and attention to detail that Top Coat brought to the job. From start to finish, I was astounded by the incredible craftsmanship of Top Coat painters. Even more, it was clear that every recommendation was NOT rooted in how much money the company could eek out of me but instead were made in order to make the final product (the exterior of my house) the best that it could be. Gene has a passion for what he does and it shines through in his work. On top of that, the level of professionalism of the Top Coat crew was of the highest and they were very considerate of their work environment. A great example of this was the flexibility of the crew to do different sides/​stories of the house to accommodate the need to keep at least one window AC unit in the 2^nd story of the house so that my 5 month old baby could have a cool room to sleep in during the hot summer months. Finally, what put the Top Coat painting experience above and beyond my high expectations was the level of care – not for the paint job, but for the customer. Over the two months that Top Coat painters were at my house, they were so considerate and concerned about not just the paint job but also my family and their well-​being. It was obviously clear that we were not just an estimate or job and that the crew was there just to collect a paycheck. They were there because they loved what they do and the people that they do it for. To me, you couldn’t ask for a better company when there’s a mindset like that – and there’s certainly no price you can put on that! I would (and will continue to) recommend Top Coat painters to anyone that is looking for a company to paint their house.

The painters were very nice & professional. The areas that were supposed to be painted were done well & look great. The problem is that the painters were messy & dripped paint all over the place. The did clean it after it was pointed out, but even now– we are still finding paint drips. Even with drop cloths & tape there was paint on the floor, on fixtures, & on walls that shouldn’t have gotten paint anywhere near them so be on the look out after they finish.
I wouldn’t say don’t use them, just make sure you are careful to check the job afterward– we’re still scraping up paint.
