Painting The Solarium

I had a small job of painting the solarium. I know with some contractors, small jobs are not appealing to them as they only like to work the big jobs. However, I heard good things about Enlighten and called them up.

Brian came out to my place for a free color consultation and really took his time going through the rainbow. I previously had an orange-peach color, which really didn't work, and I'm not really an interior decorator, so I didn't know which one to pick myself. I relied on Brian's expertise and he really picked a good choice. We ended up with an light, earthy green, which matches everything quite well.

The reason I gave them 10 stars is just how they handled the job. I'm finishing up renos in my place and I can't tell you how many times my tile guy has shown up late, forgot his tools, messed something up and given me an excuse. Brian and his staff showed up literally at 9:30 on the dot - as they said - and just basically got to work. Sounds basic, but they did exactly what they said.

The job was very well done. It wasn't just "let's paint over what is there"; they sanded the wall, caulked the baseboard, taped things up, moved everything carefully out of the way and then painted. It was two coats of Benjamin Moore Aura. Looks fantastic.

Overall, I highly recommend Enlighten. Believe me, the only time I write this long of a review is if I'm either really pissed or really pleased. Normally, I don't write reviews on places like Homestars (although I probably should) but I wanted to communicate to everyone how happy I was with their work. Choose them and you'll be happy too.

painting

We hired Enlighten to paint our living room and front entrance. Brian came a week prior to do a colour consultation and we were very pleased with the outcome. The place looks bright and fresh - and it was all completed while we were at work. Fast and clean work. We've already received some quotes from Brian, so will definitely get him back to paint more of the house. Try him out - you won't be disappointed.

Painting of a bedroom

Brian did a great job painting our daughters new bedroom. The colour consultation he provided made the process easy from the beginning and he followed through with excellent work. His attention to detail was impeccable - we're extremely pleased with the results. Highly recommended.

Enlighten Painting

Two words: Hire them!
You won't regret it. In an industry riddled with inept and dishonest contractors, I was so thankful to find Brian Malloy. Brian is an honest man, his work--impeccable, and therefore, has my highest recommendation. Not only was he and his crew friendly, but they were so respectful of my home. Brian's knowledge, attention to detail and quality of service was outstanding from beginning to end. Just before Christmas, I had my living/dining rooms and hallway painted. Some areas were challenging to paint with high wall spaces. The painters took their time and Brian made sure the job was done well and to my satisfaction. I also really appreciated Brian fitting me into his busy schedule just so I could have the place ready for the holidays.

Great job painting our nursery

Brian and his crew did an excellent job painting our nursery. During our initial consultation, Brian made some great suggestions regarding colour choices and how to improve the look of a built-in. The painting done by Brian and his crew was top notch and done in a short time frame. I'd certainly use Enlighten again and highly recommend his services.

Interior Painting

I recently had a room painted by Brian (Enlighten) and I was very appreciative that he made himself available during the holiday season. Despite being a very busy time of year, he made time for a consultation, and came to do the work right after a large snow storm! Having not fully decided on a colour, during our consultation Brian provided excellent input and together we decided on a great colour; I’m very happy with the choice today.
I was very pleased with his work, the small patch work needed and the painting were done very well. I would recommend Brian to anyone looking for a painter.

Master Bedroom Painting

Our experience with Enlightenen Contracting was superb from the very beginning. Brian came to our home for a colour consultation, and - in addition to his being punctual, friendly and courteous - we really felt he knew his stuff. He helped us pick a colour that complemented both our furniture and the available light in the room. He was very patient in ensuring we made the best decision for us, while at the same time offering tips to keep in mind when choosing a colour. When it came time to paint, Brian was efficient and thorough, and the final job looks fantastic. In addition, he helped recommend someone to do a small handyman job at our place as well and this referral was excellent! We couldn't be happier with our new bedroom colour, and we wouldn't hesitate to use Enlighten Contracting's services in the future or recommend them to our friends.

Painting of room

I would highly recommend Brian and Enlighten.
He gave us excellent advice for the colour selection and his team did a great job painting.

During our colour consultation Brian quickly understood the feel we were looking for and suggested the paint colour and type that would suit us best.
To be honest, at first I wasn't convinced since I didn't know if the colour he suggested would look as bright and cheerful as the colour we had originally selected before meeting with him. Since he was very knowledgeable we decided to trust his expertise. Best decision we ever made!
Once we saw the finished product, we were delighted! It has the feel we were looking for. The colour looks great with our floors and it goes well with the rest of our home.
In hindsight, our original selection would have looked a bit "cartoony". Brian was able to envision the finished room and save us from making a big mistake.

Brian made the whole process very pleasant. He was easy to get in touch with and did his best to accommodate our tight schedule.

We have painted rooms ourselves before, but after working with Brian and his team I don't think we'll ever do it again. They did it much more skillfully and with more attention to detail than we ever could!

Thank you Brian and Brian!

Painting

We had contacted Brian Molloy over e-mail to paint our family room. He was quick to respond and set up an initial consultation with us. Our scheduled meeting went smoothly. Brian arrived early and came with a variety of paint samples. He was well informed and had a lot of great suggestions in terms of paint colours,quality and how we could maximize our living space. Brian was very friendly, courteous and professional at all times. On the day we had our place painted, Brian and his crew were early and ready to work. The clean-up was quick and easy.The quality of the work is excellent (Thank you Brian-the assistant-painter-artist)! We were extremely pleased with the outcome. The room looks fabulous! A job well done. We are very happy with the consultation, price, service, follow-up and professionalism.
