University Student Painters just finished an interior job at my home. They did bedrooms, trim, baseboards, staircase bannisters and a fireplace and I could not be more pleased with the results! Joseph and the guys are great, communicative and fast workers! Highly recommend.

This 3 unit strata was pleased with the professionalism and efficiency of Joseph and Marcus in the painting of the exterior trim. The contract to paint the trim was performed to high standards. Joseph has over 30 years of experience in painting interiors and exteriors. His main support person has been with him for 4 years, so there is a lot of knowledge. Joseph also suggested a better quality more durable paint for the exterior and painted some of the stained stucco for no charge. The building is 4 levels high so not an easy job. It was done on time and the site was very clean. And also at a reasonable price. It was the best value quote of the 4 quotes we received. We would hire them again.

We hired Joseph to paint the exterior of our 50s bungalow and he and his team did a fantastic job. Good attention to detail and communication throughout. They were willing to add on to the existing scope of work while underway and provided fair pricing. I would recommend.

JOSEPH is just one of the nicest people I have met. Fantastic individual, very professional and great work, all for a very reasonable price. We’ve had other people do some painting for us before, this team is one of the best I’ve known. He even helped us select colors, came back to add an accent on his own because it would look good (we loved it) and a year out, came to inspect and touch up some spots. Amazing experience.

They came to our home and they sprayed our house with the wrong paint! The overspray from the incompetent painters is on everything and now they won’t respond to our texts! Be very careful of your largest investment with these children that know nothing about painting. They are based out of Halifax and they did not provide proof of insurance or WCB when asked for these documents. They refused to provide their legal representation. I have more than 67 photos of the mess they left and they refused to repair the damage. You need to read all the other reviews about these kind of pyramid type businesses.

Joesph came and provided a quote that we were happy with. We scheduled a return appointment to finalize and he ghosted us. Pulled into the driveway at the arranged time,I noticed him, came out and he pulled out and drove away while I was walking down stairs to meet him. He Will not respond to texts or phone calls. I Can see that texts are read. 100% would NOT RECOMMEND.

Whether it’s a residential or commercial job, our team is available on weekends to ensure that your project runs smoothly and on time. Working on weekends allows us to meet deadlines efficiently and complete tasks without causing disruptions to your daily routine.
