Jeff was responsive and made the tight timeline work. He hustles and gets the job done with a friendly smile. His work gave the impression that he's a painter, and not an artist. The end result was just ok. I really should've thought harder about the 1-day estimate, knowing that prepping the paint job often takes many hours. But I also think that Jeff and any other muralist bidding on my job was probably incentivized to say that they could do it quickly bc I had a tight timeline. He was able to riff off of my initial ideas and came up with a design super fast. That said, everything about the job was very rushed, which led to a little bit of sloppiness. He painted a bit 'outside the lines' onto window sills, and left some paint stains on other surfaces, and I had to make sure he corrected uneven paint coats or visible paint drips/uneven textures within the mural. I think the tight timeline also led him to take some shortcuts - specifically by not painting the full design and leaving more whitespace. We needed to ask another painter to do touch ups to the surfaces that should not have been painted. In the end, I wished I hadn't put something out to bid knowing that I had a very small window to get it done.

Every star here on this review has been hard-earned. Jeff is incredibly talented, and a professional in every sense. While the initial paperwork took a few iterations to hammer out correctly, Jeff made sure the rest of the project ran seamlessly. His pricing is fair, and he is communicative and courteous in answering questions and providing updates. Our project was remote, so we especially appreciated 1) the digital mock-ups that Jeff provided prior to beginning work and 2) his sending us photos of the completed murals. We would hire him again in a heartbeat, and wish him the best of luck in his artistic endeavors.

Jay did an amazing mural for my son, he didn't think we were crazy when we asked for a Minecraft theme. We showed him what my son wanted and he came back with an amazing design. Not only that, he did it in just a few days. He's completely professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend Jeff Carnie Studios.

I was amazed and pleased with the entire experience. Jeff understood exactly what we were envisioning, and created a breathtaking mural in less time than we expected. It was inspiring to watch him work. Cannot imagine a better outcome, AND, at a price that was totally reasonable...as well as being far below other quotes we received.

Jeff is truly professional and super talented...he did a project/mural that is very dear to me and my wife. We lost our soulmate a little bit over a month ago and it has been the toughest thing that we have endured; Jeff was super sensitive about the importance of being accurate and making a realistic portray of our loved one. Thank you Jeff
