Third time using The Urban Painter

We could not be more happy with the results in our new home. We painted all walls and trim. The whole house looks brighter and bigger. Amanda, their interior designer came over to help with the colour selection and we just love it! The team (Jose) was great. On time, professional, high quality and easy to work with. The job was done in our timeline and we are so grateful! Thank you Urban Painter!

Interior Painting Project

We hired The Urban Painter to paint the interior walls, trim, ceiling, cabinets.. ok pretty much everything in our 3500 sqft home before we moved in. From start to finish it was nothing but professional and the end product is better than we imagined. The things that stood out for us was the colour selection process which was super helpful and something we are not very good at. Also, the crew actually seemed to be having fun while doing our project which was great to see. Thanks Urban Painter for the great experience.

High prices for mediocre work.

Review urban painter

Urban painter has high prices for mediocre work thats going to cost you more money to fix.

Had urban painter come in after another contractor attempted to paint a mural on my daughters wall who is about to turn 2 before the end of this year but decided to use old bacteria infested mud on my wall which smelled disgusting.

Wife and I decided to use urban painter to remove the entire wall that had any sign of this mud. It was around a 10 foot wide section by about 8 feet high. When we contacted Dave with Urban painter and told him the story he said how terrible it was to use old mud and his company would never do something like that and honestly I thought he actually cared. The total price of the quote was just a little over $1800 for the job. The worker that hung the drywall decided since he didnt purchase enough materials he wanted to leave a section that had this mud on it and actually told my wife they use old mud all the time but just mix in bleach to mask the smell as its a old tradesman trick which is ridiculous considering how cheap it is to buy.

The finished product was terrible and when we asked if someone could come fix where about 3 dents are ( this is on the new wall we had installed FYI ) and we could see the old paint colour through where the old wall meet the new wall toward the ceiling all Daves employees had emergencies so quite the coincidence. Dave just kept msging my wife about getting paid and was only worried about the remaining amount owed not making sure he had customers that were satisfied with the finished product. I always assumed you pay a deposit or instalments an the entire invoice is paid when the job is done and customers are satisfied. On top of that he tried to add $250 to the bill and bring it over $2000. He didnt send this to me cause Im sure he would of known my response but my wifes was the same thankfully and we only paid the agreed upon price in the original quote. This was the final straw for me and I got pretty upsetso I sent Dave his money and told him not to bother sending anyone back as theyve done enough damage and I cant afford to have any other issues.

Also during the repairs done on the wall Im assuming none of the carpets were covered as my wife went in there and vacuumed and full of drywall dust in our vacuum canister. They didnt even have the professional curtsey to clean up after themselves. All you smell in the room is drywall dust and weve tried to steam clean and you still smell the dust. Ive since removed the carpet instead of even attempting to hire someone to professionally clean it and Ill be installing new stuff as I dont want my baby girl having any issues. Its not really my area of expertise but with the bad luck with contractors and paying other people Ill take my chances.

Ceiling and wall painting

Urban Painter did a fantastic job. Edward and Jaylyn were in and out in no time. We used this company for ceiling painting and called back to have them paint our walls. Great service and seamless process.

Second time using The Urban Painter

We had our whole house painted recently and we couldn’t be more happy with the results.

The whole experience, from start to finish, was seamless. Dave gave us a fair quote, and there were no hidden fees or add-ons. We loved that they supply their own designer (Amanda) to help with color selection (highly recommend using her services)!

The crew (Richard. Justin,James) did a fantastic job in a timely fashion. They were so great to deal with and very professional. We are so grateful!!

This our second time using The Urban Painter (previously painted our rental condo) and we would not hesitate to use them for any future projects.

Exterior Home Painting and Trim

Our large 100+ year old home was looking pretty dingy with faded stucco and dirty white trim – after interviewing several painting companies, we knew right away that The Urban Painters were the right fit for us.
From the get-go their professionalism, attention to detail, patience, competitive pricing, friendly and accommodating crew, and hard working attitude shone through. After a two week detailed and challenging project, we could not be more please and impressed with the quality of the workmanship and the people who executed the job.
We do not hesitate in recommending The Urban Painters to all that we known and will now look forward to the opportunity to hire them to update our interior walls as well.
Bravo to this team!

Exterior paint

We were very happy with The Urban Painter team. They were courteous, professional, and responsive to our concerns. We had a couple of spots where the paint didn't dry evenly and they didn't hesitate to fix it up for us promptly to our satisfaction. This is a good, honest company that does quality work.

Kitchen Cabinet refinishing/Walls repainting

Had my kitchen cabinets refinished with ScuffX product. The finish looks great but some wear issues have come up after a couple of years. The warranty period had passed but Gabe contacted me and will be refinishing all of the problem cabinets. Happy they are standing behind their work. Also had some walls repainted. The work was completed quickly and very well done.
