Their entire crew was wonderful to work with thru the whole process. We couldn't be happier with the results. **Comment from The Coatings Authority, Inc.:** > Thank you Julie for your nice comments. It was our pleasure to serve you! > > The Coatings Authority, Inc. **★★★★★ — Rachel Meske, Nov. 2017** > The Coatings Authority met all my expectations and I would hire them again. They are quick to respond to emails and answered all my questions. Their employees are top notch and we are so happy with the work they completed for us, it looks fantastic, and it was done quickly. They did a great job keeping the place clean, we hardly knew they were there. **★★★★★ — Design Direction, Sept. 2017** > We have been partnering with Rachael and The Coatings Authority team on a large residential remodel project, and it has been such a great opportunity! Rachael has been involved in every aspect of her clients' design, which has helped eased stress and simplified the decision making process. Her ability to keep this remodel running smoothly, well coordinated, and on track has not only kept her clients happy, but has made it very easy for us to be a part of. We cannot wait to see the amazing transformation this house has made! Thank you Rachael and The Coatings Authority for your hard work and dedication to this project and our community! **★★★★★ — Denise Brown, Aug. 2017** > We had the walls of seven rooms and the ceilings of five rooms painted. We also had flooring replacement scheduled for the family room. Jeff and Rachel were great to work with and I really appreciated their willingness and ability to accommodate scheduling in light of the floor work. Justin and Kyra were assigned to do our painting. They did a fantastic job and the house looks beautiful! Once the job was completed, we received a 'house warming' gift. What a nice surprise! **★★★★★ — Debbie Huseby, Aug. 2017** > The Coatings Authority, Inc resurfaced our 3 stall garage floor with epoxy and chips. They prepared the concrete with a unique process that wasn't utilized by any other company in our area. They also provided an enclosed trailer to store all of our things during the process. Jeff & Rachel Boyer (owners) were extremely professional and even took the time to help us with color selection. Their guidance through the process reassured us that we had selected the best company. We love our newly coated floor and have already received many compliments on it. We recommend them to admirers and to anyone needing this type of service. **★★★★★ — kaylastrand12, Aug. 2017** > We recently moved into a house that had a lot of potential but overwhelmed us with projects that needed to be done! We knew right away that we wanted to have The Coatings Authority help us to make this house our Home! We are the happiest customers and cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience!! > The Coatings Authority were very respectful & helped us get into our home as fast as possible by completing the projects in the time frame they gave us! > They helped us chose paint colors and we had our ceilings, walls, cabinets as well as trim work & doors painted! The guys are excellent painters! Very importantly, I have to say that I am very detail oriented and have never seen precise lines like The Coatings Authority can do! A couple of months later, we have yet to find any paint mistake! > Our 10 year old home looks brand new & we are in love with it thanks to The Coatings Authority! We highly recommend their services! **Comment from The Coatings Authority, Inc.:** > Thanks Kayla & Josh for your feedback as our team takes great pride in the work they do and they will love to see this review! > Rachael :) > The Coatings Authority, Inc. **★★★★★ — Robert Smith, Aug. 2017** > Jeff and the Coatings Authority came highly recommended to us by a local contractor. We have an oversized all wood custom front door that was over due for new exterior stain and varnish. First of all, Jeff did an amazing job of matching the original stain perfectly. The care taken from initial prep to final coating ensured a perfect outcome. The project also took only one day from beginning to completion which was impressive and greatly appreciated. Personable, professional, excellent results, and on budget. I couldn't be more pleased! **★★★★★ — Bobbie Lien, May 2017** > We are pleased to recommend the Coatings Authority to anyone needing an interior painting project completed. This company was thorough, knowledgeable, and did high quality work. What was extremely important to us was the personal relationships established. The owners and workers were just extremely genuine and nice people to work with. We highly recommend this company to anyone needing a professional painting job completed **★★★★★ — Carla Wurzer, April 2017** > We hired Jeff Boyer and his talented team for all the painting in our main floor remodel including kitchen cabinets, powder room vanity, fireplace mantle and all the ceilings & walls. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of their work, attention to detail and professionalism. They are coming back in May to do our garage floors! We also hired Rachael Boyer for her consulting services. She helped us with all our product selections and coordinated all the work. She was with us every step of the way! We couldn’t have gotten through this remodel without Jeff, Rachael and their team! **Comment from The Coatings Authority, Inc.:** > Thanks Carla for your review. It was such a pleasure working with you and Steve and your home turned out so beautiful. It was quite the transition and your patience in the process was amazing. We will be posting the before and after pictures for our other viewers to be able to see the transformation and to get some ideas for their home. Thank you for allowing us to serve you and your family! **★★★★★ — Brook Skjerseth, Dec. 2016** > Jeff and the whole crew transformed our dated golden oak trim to sleek white throughout our whole house within weeks. The finished product is beautiful and seamless. **Comment from The Coatings Authority, Inc.:** > Thank you Brook! It was such a pleasure to work with you and your family. We love these beautiful transformations. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! - The Coatings Authority, Inc. **★★★★★ — Carl Wendelbo, Oct. 2016** > We recently had the exterior of our home painted by The Coatings Authority, formerly Brushes End and Concrete FX.
