Samantha and Abanoub with That 1 Painter were the absolute best to work with! Our project was a deck stain. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and thorough; providing excellent results! During the initial visit to examine and discuss our project, they explained every detail of the process, offered surfacing options, and provided quotes on the spot. Aside from very quality work was their excellent communication. Their prompt responses to my questions was very much appreciated. We very highly recommend That 1 Painter Central Iowa!
We have been updating our house and the outside was definitely in need of refreshing. Samantha and Ananoub were great to work with--professional and responsive. The team of Ricardo and Flavio managed the project and could not have been nicer. Extremely professional results, quick and cleanup afterwards was very thorough which I greatly appreciated. Fair price and would hire them again with no hesitation.
Found some wonderful painters. They were EXCELLENT!!!! I'll use them for any painting projects I have. Highly recommended!!!! I've lived in my home now 36 years. Had numerous paint jobs. I've NEVER had this good of a company that's very detailed. I'll have this contact forever
Samantha was so easy to work with and very talented at color selection. She brought Abanoub, their lead painter to make sure I understood all of my options. Abanoub, Ibrim and Meme worked quickly to limit the amount of time the project would take. They were so responsive and worked me into their schedule right away. I felt good having them in my home and they didn't ask for final payment until the job was done to their and my satisfaction. The had high standards and competitive pricing options.
I had the pleasure of meeting Samantha and Abanoub for an estimate for painting the interior of our home. They were delightful and professional. I'd highly recommend them for your painting needs.
Samantha and her team are wonderful to work with! They offer so many great paint color options to choose from, and I really appreciate that they do background checks on all employees. Would recommend!
