Him and his partner, William Ferguson from Spruce It Up, are very unprofessional. They came out looked at my house to paint it, gave me a quote of $2000 for just labor, since I was going to purchase all the materials myself, and gave me list of amounts to purchase. They said they couldn't get to my project for 3 weeks because they were working on other projects, but scheduled a start day and time for me to meet with them to go over everything again before they started. I purchased all the things they told me to so it was all there for them to start. Then there was a phone call from them, where they said that the quote they gave me might not be accurate, but they would go over that when we met. Today was supposed to be the day that I met with them, except they didn't show up or call or anything, so after they are almost an hour late, I gave them a call to ask when they are going to get here, I am told "Oh, we are not coming and we are not going to do your project." My advice to you is to find someone else because these guys don't do what they say they are going to do and have no professionalism to call or have any communication with you.

First of all, I would like to clarify I'm not Spruce It Up Painting, this customer assumed that William was my partner, I brought him to the jobsite, because we have shared some jobs, if it was too big for just one guy than we would help each other out we have done this more than once so I trusted William to give him an honest bid. While I was inside talking to the customers partner about the dry walling project, William was outside talking to the other partner about the exterior paint job.I have since learned that Thumb tack doesn't allow subcontracting on another profile (mine) so I won't be doing that anymore.I was busy with a complete kitchen remodel so I told the customer I wouldn''t be able to get to him for at least 2to 3 weeks and that we should meet again to iron out a bid for the exterior on the 27th of Sept. I got a call from William on the 24th that We had lost the job because he had found another painter . The customer (or potential customer) never talked to me personally but had several conversations with William , upon finally talking to William, I found out that he was trying to take my (potential customer) away from me, we have since than not communicated at all and I don't think I will . This customer said that he had communicated with me and that I had given him a bid, which I had not. The original communication started on Thumb tack, I just assumed if he would've had any other guestions that he would've called me , instead of someone trying to steal my job. I learned a valuable lesson, about trust, honesty, and communication . He keeps saying They , in the review but it's really not a They at all it was all about a dishonest person trying to steal my work from me This review is totally false ,my reputation is my livliehood, without a good reputation I'm not going to be getting much work. I strive to be as honest an forthright with all my customers I would really like to see this review go away, it's not fair or true

We asked Mike to paint an accent wall in our living room. He came in and moved all the furniture(he neither broke scrapped or otherwise damaged anything) laid down tarps and went to work. He was quick and clean. He did what is called a cooper wash on the two walls. I thought I was paying for a paint job, I know have art work on my wall. All of our friends are amazed on what was done. I tell them to call Mike to get their own art work done. He is better than good. I recommend him first for a great job done in a timely manner for a good price. I am serious, this guy is excellent.

For the last year my husband, & I had the great opportunity of enjoying the wonderful work of art he had done on our apt. wall, as well as the painting of the whole 2 bdrm. 1 bath , the Pergo flooring in the living room,, & dining room, & the remodeling of the bathroom. Truly a professional, artist in every since of the word. Our Landlord has even said they wouldn't even paint over that gorgeous wall he had done. We would hire him back in a second.
