LJ Home Improvement did an outstanding job with my painting project. They went above and beyond by thoroughly repairing the walls before starting, ensuring a smooth and flawless finish. Their attention to detail and dedication to getting everything just right was impressive. They didn’t rush the process but instead took the time needed to achieve a high-quality result. The final outcome was even better than expected, and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for professional and meticulous painters.
Details: Home • 8+ rooms • Walls • Trim • Window frames • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • Repainting, with same color • Fair - minor holes and scratches • The painter • No, this is not new construction • No, I will move things out of the way myself

I contacted LJ Home to paint by Master bedroom after reading the excellent reviews. John called me immediately and answered all my questions. Even recommend certain brand to purchase for my bedroom paint. Quoted me a good price for the job. John and Laura showed up on time. So impressed with their professionalism and his attention to detail. It was pouring down rain and they were so neat. I couldn’t be happier with my transformation. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a painter, repairs, tile, hanging lights, etc. I can’t wait for him to start painting and flooring my other rooms. Excellent work and so neat!!
Details: Home • 1 room • Walls • Under 8 feet (low ceiling) • Repainting, with a color change • Excellent - clean and smooth • Homeowner or property manager • No, this is not new construction • No, I will move things out of the way myself

I hired Jr's to paint three bedrooms and hang a new steel front door and storm door. The price quoted was very reasonable and I liked the other reviews he received. He and his partner were prompt, professional, courteous, thorough, honest, and diligent. They stayed with the job until it was done. I highly recommend this handy service, and will call them again.
Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Installation • Painting • Bedroom • Doors • Walls (inside) • Molding or baseboards • Home
