Thank you for a great job. It was a pleasure to work with Cleanest Painting from beginning to end. We had to delay starting the project due to an unexpected repair, but Cleanest Painting were understanding and even helped us find another contractor in the meantime. Once we started the main project - painting the house and repairing our porch - everything ran smoothly and professionally. The team are punctual, friendly and kept everything clean and tidy. I have a mature and much loved garden and they were able to still do an amazing job around my plants. The neighbours loved them too and we are still getting compliments on their work and how nice everyone was. Huge thanks

Details: Home • Two stories • Entire building • 1,500 - 2,000 sq ft • Aluminum • I’d like the professional to provide the paint • No visible exterior damage

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW IF YOU PLAN ON HIRING STEVEN AND CLEANEST PAINTING LLC My name is Aaron and I worked with Steven between August and September of 2023. The reason I am just now leaving my review is because I was so upset at their job, that my review would have been emotional and less accurate which is not valuable to potential clients. Now, 9 months later, I am calm and can leave an honest review with pictures. If you take the time to read this review in full, I can promise you that everything I write is real and happened and is supported by pictures. I own a 7 figure, 3 level home in Hoboken, NJ and I interviewed 3 people from Thumbtack for the job. Steven was priced in the middle and his job included Benjamin Moore Regal Select which is one of their highest quality paints. He described his company as a close-knit group of guys that have been working together for years and that they were a smaller, specialty painting crew that had experience working with high-end homes. Exactly what I was looking for. When I met Steven, I liked him right away. He is very friendly and personable. We walked around my home together and he pointed out all of the issues and what he would do to fix them. We were completely on the same page about everything. In addition, I really liked that he asked me if there were specific things that I wanted him to pay attention to. I told him: to remove all light switch covers to avoid the square brush strokes around the covers; to tape all molding so the transitions of paint would be clean and neat; and to make sure that everything was properly covered so that paint didn't splatter. He assured me everything would be taken care of and I felt like I was in great hands. Before the painting job started, Steven showed up on the first day and walked his guys around the house to show them exactly what needed to be done. And that's all the good there was, it was all downhill after that. The next day, before Steven arrived, he asked me if he could use a different brand paint and do a color match to my actual Benjamin Moore paint because the cost of the paint in Hoboken was more expensive that he thought it would be. I said absolutely not because I wanted the paint to match. So, the job was delayed by a day so Steven could go buy the paint he promised me from a different store where it was cheaper. NOT A GOOD START. After two days of watching his guys paint without Steven being there, I asked him to come meet me at my house to talk about the work so far. I explained to him that the guys were doing the EXACT things I told him I didn't want. They didn't remove the light switch covers, they weren't using tape AT ALL to ensure clean paint lines, and their tarps and covers did not fully cover all of my floors so there was already paint splatter. I literally had to tell one guy to stop working until I spoke with Steven. This one guy was the worst. Steven came to talk to me and I told him that I didn't think his company was right for the job, I said would pay him his costs for the supplies and the guys working for two days and we could part ways. Steven begged me to allow him to finish the job and that he would make sure everything went perfect from that point on because having a satisfied customer was the most important part. I agreed. There were 3 guys there painting all day, and I told Steven I wanted a different guy to replace the one that wasn't doing a good job and I asked him what his name was. He didn't know. He had to ask his head paint guy. Okay, so now this makes sense. Steven works with one main guy, and then this guy brings in his own guys to do the work. Not a close knit group, this job was literally outsourced to another guy who then brought in his own two guys that Steven had never worked with before and DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEIR NAMES! I was furious but I let him continue. His guys did the best job they could which was subpar at best, and it took about 2-3 weeks to finish the job and I had to supervise all day to make sure that they were doing the work they were supposed to be doing. A complete waste of my own time. Once the guys were done, and Steven and I did a walk through, I pointed out all of the issues and how dissapointed I was with the work. He told him he wasn't going to hire this grew again. That's great for the next client but not for me. He then offered to bring in his uncle who has been painting for 30 years to clean up all of the mistakes and to get this right. I said yes and he really was great. He cleaned up a lot of the mistakes and got things to a point where I was much happier, but I was still pissed that I was dealing with all of these issues in the first place. Once the job was complete and everyone packed up and left, I started doing my own walk around, I then saw all of the mistakes, ESPECIALLY all of the paint that splattered everywhere. On my floors, on my audio/video equipment tower, on my garage tile floor which cost me $7,000 and on my custom cabinetry which cost me $15,000. I showed Steve the pictures I am attaching here, and he offered to come and clean everything up. I said absolutely not, I didn't want him or his guys in my house ever again. So I did the clean-up work myself, which cost me about $100 in supplies and another week of my own time. I was literally on my hand and knees scrubbing to get paint out of my floors. So, in summary, I think Steven is a nice guy, and I don't know how he is running his company now, but in my opinion, he doesn't know how to run a business. He tried to change the paint, he didn't show up when he said he would, he didn't ensure the quality of the work and he outsourced the entire job. I could have hired a few local guys for half the price if that was what I wanted. My advice is to not hire Steven if you have a high-end job. I think Steven should focus his work on small projects like small apartments and condos and work with people that don't require the very best work. Unless his uncle is doing the painting, I would ask a lot of questions and would ask for a test day of his guys to actually watch them work before paying anything. It's just not worth the aggravation, headache, time, disappointment and frustration working with his company.
