After 30 years or so, it was time for a complete paint job of the exterior of our home. We are pretty particular so we wanted to find the right painting contractor who would provide the quality of work we expected. We contacted several painting contractors but only a few got back with us. Fortunately for us, one of them was Eric Branstrom of Branstrom Painting. He arrived at the scheduled time and listened as we explained the scope of the project. He then took some time to walk our property and examine the magnitude of the job before letting us know he would get a quote to us in the next day or two. This was our initial introduction and we both felt good about Eric. He emailed us a quote over the weekend which was within the timeframe he said he would get back to us with a quote. Shortly thereafter we accepted his quote and felt confident we selected the right guy for our job.
Work began right away with a pressure wash of the entire outside of our house and nearly 300 feet of wood fencing surrounding our property. The next couple days were spent prepping the stucco, wood, and metal for painting. Eric was here overseeing his small crew and doing his share of the work from start to finish. Whether it was scraping, filling, or sanding, they did whatever needed doing to prepare the various materials and surfaces for fresh paint. We were pleased by their attention to detail when prepping. They also cleaned up at the end of each day before they left.
During the few days the prep was going on, Eric made several trips to his paint supplier to do his best to match the paint colors we wanted. He applied samples daily and he adjusted based on our review until we got it right. We appreciated his attention to detail even in areas we didn't completely understand. Eric seemed to quickly grasp the totality of the job and strive to please us. He is a good communicator providing helpful recommendations when appropriate and always kept us informed at every step along the way. We especially appreciated him being available by email and mobile phone throughout the project.
Eric and his crew are professionals and we were quite pleased with their work. They all seemed to have integrity and take pride in their work. They were honest and careful when working around our home. There were many details we were concerned about involving the application of paint, like what color went on what parts but they did a great job of getting it right. Eric and his small crew exceeded our expectations and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. We found the price and quality of workmanship to be exceptional.
