James is truly an exceptional professional! He did an awesome job on finishing epoxy coating of our garage floor. We had problems with the floor to begin with and then we encountered product issues, but James handled everything with utmost care and finished the job in time. We will hire him back for our painting job in the coming winter.

I have worked with several painters over the years, and James (Ascend Painting) stands head and shoulders above the rest. He is easily the most professional, honest, and conscientious painter I have ever hired.
His attention to detail is outstanding—he never misses a spot, and his work is consistently flawless, completed with real precision and care.
James is also very respectful of your home, taking great care with belongings, keeping the workspace clean, and leaving the room in better condition than he found it. He is reliable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.
I recommend James without hesitation. He is a true professional, and I would gladly hire him again.

I’ve been searching for a good painter for more than three years, and I finally found him! I hired James to repaint the exterior of my front and back doors after having the hardware changed. He carefully took the new handles off, sanded, filled a hole from the old hardware and painted multiple coats until they look absolutely perfect. James was responsive, prompt, clean, courteous, and very competent. His pricing was fair and I feel like I got a good value. I have two more projects I will be engaging him for along with recommending him to others in my neighborhood who similarly have not been able to find a good painter. Thanks, James!
Details: Home • Just touch ups • Doors • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • Repainting, with same color • Fair - minor holes and scratches • Homeowner or property manager • No, this is not new construction • No, I will move things out of the way myself

It was great working with James. He is professional and knowledgeable. Once scheduled , he finished the job in timely manner. Work quality is very good, I am hoping I won't have to worry about my deck for next 5 years. Thank you!
