Painting of main floor of house including walls, ceilings and trim

Tom's crew was exceptional. They worked tirelessly to complete the job, always ensuring everything was done to their own exacting standards. Our dated and damaged ceilings were beautifully repaired and will add greatly to the enjoyment of our home.
We have already recommended them to friends and family.

Thanks Paula! Your home looks beautiful and much more modern now that the popcorn and lathe and plaster ceilings are converted to flat. I am glad that we were able to work alongside your kitchen Reno to reduce your inconvenience.

Painting - Main floor

Tom was quick to meet with us giving us a reasonable estimate of the job at hand.
Marien and Julio came in and completed the job in 2 days. They worked fast and were efficient. At the end of the day, I was satisfied with the work completed and can't wait to start redecorating my "new" house.

Painting

I contacted several companies to paint a large four bedroom townhouse in its entirety to prepare it for rental. Tom was able to come over the soonest for an estimate in the evening. He was thorough doing his estimate, offering recommendations and options, even for improvements other than painting. Promptly the same evening I received a written estimate, which was quite competitive. Tom followed up while I was considering other estimates, and offered to negotiate on the price. Considering that, his reviews, and the fact that he was able to start within a few days, I decided to hire Tom, and I have absolutely no regrets. He and his experienced painters Marien and Julio were over bright and early the first day and every day, and worked hard and efficiently to paint the entire house from top to bottom, including a basement room, in just over five days. They even went above and beyond, with extra priming, sanding, and drywall and baseboard repairs that it turned out were required, and even painted behind the fridge and stove. True professionals from start to finish, I am more than happy, the place looks great! Thanks Tom, Marien and Julio for your top notch work, it was a pleasure!

What a great company!

It is so refreshing to have a company that goes above and beyond! Tom and his crew were both prompt in giving me a quote and completing the work on our new bathroom. The quality of the work was great and the whole experience was enjoyable. I have already recommended them to 2 neighbours. You won't go wrong hiring them!

Kitchen and master suite renovation

Tom was very friendly yet professional. He worked independently, and quietly. He maintained a tidy work space and cleaned up promptly afterwards. I was so pleased with his workmanship on our renovation project that I have asked him to paint other rooms in our home.

Interior painting several rooms

Interior painting, my home
I selected Tom Macrae Painting, after searching the Internet, to paint several rooms in my house, which has high ceilings and a study with cathedral ceiling. I don't regret my selection.
Tom and co-worker Marien not only painted the place, but also prepared the walls for painting by patching & caulking many imperfections encountered. They arrived early and on time, until the work was completed, which was as previously estimated. The place was cleaned every day and at the completion of the paint job.
I am impressed with the efficacy and efficiency of Tom Macrae Painting Team. They were friendly and courteous in their communication with me. This I appreciate very much. I highly recommend this company for any painting work.

Thanks Gloria for the great review. It was a pleasure working on your home. The lighter wall colour helps to show off your many paintings.

Main Living Space, Hallways and Ceilings.

Tom and Marien did a fantastic job in transforming our main living space. Our vintage swirly ceiling from the 1950s was made perfectly smooth over a three day period. Major cracks were repaired in the living, dining and kitchen areas prior to the application of the base coatings and paint. The walls and baseboards look amazing. Thanks so much, Robert and Maria
