We have used Cindy over the past 5 years on numerous projects in our home.
Cindy is very artistic, professional and warm. She has painted all of our interior and enhanced many furniture pieces and even some outside columns.
We have referred her to many of our friends who are all as pleased with her as we were! You will not be disappointed with what she does; she really is awesome!!!– Stacey

I wish I had another kitchen for Cindy to paint! She can do anything. She made my very old, dark kitchen look fresh and bright. I looked at her portfolio, and she can create anything you want, plus she has great ideas if you're looking for suggestions. She's got all the equipment to do large, basic paint jobs or super detailed artistic ones. A friend of mine was so impressed that she hired her for an interior job, too.
Cindy is reliable, talented, and she keeps her work area clean. It was not like having a painter around at all. I will definitely call Cindy again for another job in the future!– S

Where do I begin??? Cindy has worked at two of my homes and has created works of wall art that are inviting, interesting, and exude warmth and a flair for fun! She is open to your own ideas, but also gives you her point of view which then can be incorporated into your vision for a room. I would highly recommend her. I'd love to have her paint all of my rooms! I've always been more than pleased with her work! You will be hard pressed to find another artist who can size up what you're wanting to do with a room and deliver every time!

Cindy's work is phenomenal. She came very highly recommended and after the work was completed, it was clear as to why. She transformed my bedroom suite and bathroom into works of art, and I honestly couldn't recommend her highly enough. She was wonderful to work with, punctual, professional, and has an attention to detail that is of the very highest calibre. As a bonus, she is very unassuming, very friendly, genuine, and charges less than half of what her work is worth. I can't wait to have her paint more of my home later this month!

Question and answer
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Painting is the largest industry in construction. Huge changes can be made on any surface with a coat of paint and the correct prep. It is really important to find a painter that knows their chemicals and how to prep correctly. If the proper prep work isnt done there will be adhesion issues down the road. Finally dont wait until things look old and beat up to paint. By then the damage is done and it is all bandaid at that point. Paint is decorative but its other primary function is to protect the underlying surface.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. For starters there are not that many companies that offer a broad array of services that I provide. In order to stay busy I offer a lot of different types of interior and exterior painting services, for example walls, cabinets and furniture, each require unique products and applications. I am not limited to paint either. I have extensive experience with plasters and wallpapers. I also offer help with design including color consultations.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I like that each project is different. The clients, the architecture, the palette, and the budget. Styles and tastes are ever changing, products are always evolving and this keeps it all really exciting. I like a challenge so when I get asked to do something really new and different, I like figuring out my approach. The best is the before and after....the coolest end result and a happy client!
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. How much do you charge? The jobs all all based on time and materials, all clients pay the same rates. I do not mark up materials and I pass along my discounts to the clients. The minimum cost is $250 and it goes up from there. I have done a kids mural for $300. and a huge mural for $3000. A large kitchen in which I painted all the cabinets cost $2500. An exterior paint job on a 1500 sq ft house costed $1800. It just depends on the time and cost of materials. I can look at a job and get an exact amount and usually stay within that estimate.
Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
A. People often ask me what is the weirdest thing I have been asked to paint. I was asked to paint a toilet which I declined. No one needs work that badly.
