We had a brand new 3300 sq ft home that required painting from top to bottom. The team from Student Works Painting worked with our interior designers to give us a competitive quote and a high quality finished product.
The team did a superb job, purchased all the paint, left the home clean and spill free and organized all left over paint in a very organized manner to allow for easy touch ups.
We would not hesitate in recommending Frazer and his team!

Just a quick note to express my satisfaction with a job well done. Your crew was prompt and courteous and made sure the job was done right. Needless to say, the end result is a sight to behold! The outside of our house looks fresh and new and we've received numerous compliments on how gorgeous the house looks.

Last year my dad and his partners used the service of Student Works Painting on my recommendation at an apartment building that I manage for them. We were very happy with the efforts of Crystal Gilpin's division who completed the work. She has now been running the business for 3 years and I found her great to work with. Should you need any interior / exterior / commercial / residential painting or staining work this year, Crystal has some great incentives starting now. She is starting to book up her season so that she can focus on exams in April, and begin painting starting May 1st. Her cell phone number is 905-321-3240 and her email address is cgilpin@uoguelph.ca

Please feel free to forward this to anyone who may need a good contact for a painting company this season.

Painting Job

So I hired Student Work Painting to paint the outside of my house.
Worst. Experience. Ever

#1 They did not fulfill the contract, the job was suppose to take 1 day it took 5.

#2 They did a poor job; did not use primer and refused to sand (because it was too hard??!!)

#3 They were messy; they left a mess of paintbrushes and dirty clothers outside my house and went to use the bathroom in my house, and I swear this is true, THREE TIMES in a day!!! (That may explain why the job took so long).

#4 They were negligent; they let my 2 dogs escaped when I had warned them, the day of and before, to close the door behind them. I had to run down 2 blocks to get them (thank god, nothing happened to them)

do not get anywhere near these guys!

interior painting

They were contracted to paint the entire interior ceilings, walls and trim. We had bought the house with an early close date to get the painting done - thinking 2 weeks was sufficient. However, they arrived didn't prep properly so the trim paint started peeling right away!!! They did not clean up after themselves, left the closet doors off, got paint on our rugs, windows, and newly refinished hard wood floors!!! In addition it took 2 months to get them back into the house to fix the errors - they were not prepared and took 3 weeks to complete - not to mention got paint dust all over the entire house!!! In the they still didn't do it properly. Horrendous work. Never again!!!

Interior staricase

We hired Student works Painting to do an extremely small job however it was in a staircase and required a taller ladder. Gave deposit and said would come the first rainy day as they were currently busy with exterior painting.

Never showed up. Called numerous times and never returned my call. Have spent a month trying to get our deposit back and still have not gotten it back. The only person you can deal with is the answering service that they use in the off season in which they pass messages on and they never get returned.

I have never dealt with a company with worse customer service than students works painting. They dont care about the customer or what you need done because they are students. There website has no where to contact someone if there is something wrong. These days it is all about customer service and they have none.

I would never recommend them for any job whether they provide good refferences.

Truly the most disappointing company.

House Painting

Worst contractor experience ever!
Contracted with Charlotte Chiu to paint exterior of house. Did not start on agreed date. She left the country and passed my contract on to Luka. Luka could not be contacted, despite multiple attempts, so we contacted the client hotline mulitple times over a several weeks and our call was never returned. After serveral more calls and escalation I was finally able to speak to Jamie Lee Mitchell the GM who passed the contract on to Keith Ellis who also failed to return calls. After two months of no returned calls and continued missed commitments I cancelled and got my depost back. They clearly did not want me as a customer. The organization is completely unprofessional.
