West Virginia Painters

West Virginia Painters did a great job paining the interior of our home for resale. They were professional and timely. We are very happy with the work they put in.

Dreadful Experience, let me explain: This company doesn’t actually paint houses. Instead, they hire subcontractors to do the work. Homeowners pay more and the local painting companies receive less so that they can take a cut of your home-improvement budget. In my case, I think they had trouble finding a sub. My June-July estimate stretched to late October, when they sent a 24-year-old who had a day job and could only work late afternoons. He applied primer to my brick in a hailstorm—please see dripping primer in the pics. He didn’t remove the downspouts or bother to prime behind them. And he forgot to use primer on my gutters, soffit, and fascia. After he left and more delays, I worked with Visa to get my substantial deposit back. As you can see from the pictures, they left things in a mess. I had to pay a company to re-install my gutter guards which they removed. I will have to replace my gutters once the paint starts to peel, and my house must remain in this ugly state until I can hire a real painting company to come fix it. Please look at my photos. 20 years’ experience? You decide.

The quick review: The work was professional, and we will use them again. The pricing was fair but not cheap. George was very good to us and he will be our go-to for future needs. We were debating painting ourselves and after seeing how much work went into it, I’m so glad we decided to outsource this project to them. The long version: We left a VM with WV Painters about a quote. George responded same day to our request for service (rare!) and came out and gave us an estimate. We got clear on the scope of work and paid a small deposit. A couple weeks later they began the work on time. The painter, John, was a perfectionist and a really nice guy. The work was finished in a few days and my space looked amazing. George called and came by throughout the job to check on us. It was the perfect experience for us.
