Beautiful work daily clean up courteous professional and finished job ahead of schedule. Will use them again and recommend very highly ### All 27 reviews **★★★★★ — Boheen & Co, March 2021** > Ray and his team were very punctual, timely, and extremely polite and easy to work with. They did a beautiful job hanging more than 15 oversized murals for us. Their skill and expertise is beyond impressive. I have them on speed dial for my clients and I recommend them to everyone for any Paint or Wallcovering needs. **★★★★★ — Mladen Karcic, Jan. 2018** > We hired Ray's company, Sarasota Painting & Wallcovering, to paint the entire interior of our house. We were so pleased with the results that we then hired them to paint the exterior. We also had Ray's company follow up with additional trim work painting that we had installed later on to some of our interior rooms. Ray is a pleasure to work with. He provided us with excellent recommendations regarding color selection and work flow. Ray's price quotes were always reasonable. Jay's crew are excellent painters. They are courteous and always punctual, but most importantly they do quality work. Ray and his crew are very responsive to all requests we had, both from the standpoint of scheduling and also the job itself. They were very flexible in doing some additional minor work at no additional cost. I highly recommend Ray and Sarasota Painting & Wallcovering! We will definitely call on Ray for any future painting needs. **★★★★★ — jmclane25, Dec. 2017** > December 2017: Ray Parker runs a very professional, disciplined, careful, thoughtful team of painters. He was very helpful in color selection. His integrity is to be admired. We trusted him and his team so much we left them with the keys to our condo so he could paint our unit while we were gone. Ray is a professionals professional. He is worth every penny. You may pay slightly more than others, but you get more than you pay for and Ray stands by his estimate even if it involves more hours than anticipated. > Jamie & Meg McLane > The VUE > Sarasota **★★★★★ — Elaine Pietrafetta, Nov. 2017** > This crew were beyond my expectations.

He responded immediately and scheduled an appointment right away. I wallpapered several rooms and a few accent walls in our new home and I cannot express how thrilled I was with the beautiful results! I would highly recommend him and his team! He is a perfectionist (as am I) and can’t wait for him to finish the next project in the foyer! **★★★★★ — Carol Field, Dec. 2016** > Ray and his crew did an excellent job painting the exterior of my house. The prep work and the attention to detail was outstanding. **★★★★★ — INTERIORS BY MARLA, Dec. 2016** > Ray and his crew always deliver outstanding results. He has painted for many of my interior design clients, as well as worked on my own home. They are honest, clean, and meticulous. You will not find better pros to work on your projects!! **★★★★★ — HU-891564, Dec. 2016** > Ray and those that work with him are absolutely true professionals. Not only is their work product exceptional, he is so easy to work with and talk to. He listens carefully and follows through every time. His most recent project was a small one but we have used him for much larger projects and have always been very satisfied. > We have also referred Ray to others who also sing his praises. > I only wish he did plumbing, a/c, etc., etc., etc. **★★★★★ — Kristin Raybon Designs, Dec. 2016** > This is a professionally run company and the crew is very clean and respectful. They have a high attention to detail that shows in the end product. > I was very pleased and would highly recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — lucia howell, Dec. 2016** > Ray and his team have done several projects for me including a vintage wallpaper in a bathroom. They are careful, courteous and prepare surfaces before ever picking up a brush so the finish is better than it was to begin with. A lot of dreadful textured ceilings and walls are always a challenge for me but Ray and I discuss and come to solutions...( I think smooth walls are elegant and clean and the way sheet rock should be finished always!! ). We have used some of the Farrow and Ball colors which are wonderful! I cannot recommend Ray and his group highly enough for getting great results and also the years of experience they have is valuable as a designer and a homeowner....5 Stars from me!!! and a special Thank You to Ray and men and women who all work together with integrity and one of them even sings! **★★★★★ — seagersrq, Dec. 2016** > The house we bought needed complete interior painting to fit our decorating style. Ray and his crew were great. They worked quickly and did a wonderful job. They went above and beyond what was expected helping get rid of some big mirrors. We'd hire them again or recommend them to others without hesitation. **★★★★★ — hlw0611, Sept. 2016** > What an amazing experience! From start to finish Ray helped to make my wall covering experience a perfect one. He went above and beyond with answering my questions and getting me on his schedule... Im so thankful and know who to refer to my friends and family! **★★★★★ — Phyllis Rose, July 2016** > I was referred to Sarasota Painting after another painting company did a terrible job on my new remodel. Sarasota Painting was extremely clean and professional and Ray showed up every day to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction. Not only did they do a beautiful job, but I really wish I knew about them in the first place. I also had them do a special design on a wall and it is perfect! I will definitely call them again. **★★★★★ — georgejohnson48, June 2016** > We recently has exterior porch ceiling and deck work completed by Sarasota Custom Painting. We could not be more pleased, GREAT JOB! **★★★★★ — Jill Beattie, June 2016** > Sarasota Painting painted the interior of the house. They did an excellent job, on time and reasonable price. A+ for customer service. **★★★★★ — ckalamari, May 2016** > Working with Ray on various home improvements was a wonderful experience. Not only were he and his crew always punctual but they did first class work, and I did not have to keep after them. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone who wants the job done right with absolutely ZERO stress. **★★★★★ — Al & Jan DeWolf, May 2016** > Painting etc was excellent. Ray seemed a little forgetful about the things he committed to during sales. We talked about what many things but had to be reminded later. Eg, which blinds would come down and which would stay up. His people were to put new hinges on but put one upside down. Some of the others have the rod upside down. Painters missed some kitchen base boards, fire alarms, and ceiling intake vent. He is a great guy to work with. Some of these things were corrected on second visit. **★★★★★ — 1fortheages, May 2016** > Ray and his crew repainted the interior of our home. He was recommended by neighbors. The work was done when promised and at a great price. The crew was good and didn't leave a mess. I have since recommended Ray to other neighbors and he has repainted the outside of homes in our subdivision. Everyone has been pleased. I don't think you can go wrong with these guys. **★★★★★ — Bonnie Heinz, May 2016** > I have used this company for 10+ years for all of my painting (interror and exterior) and wallpapering. They are extremely professional and do excellent work. They are always concerned with their customers satiisfaction. I give this company the highest possible recommendation. **★★★★★ — Doug Agren, May 2016** > Best of the best ! Had our bath room redone and these guys did the papering ! Very pleased with all of what was done . They are a true professional co. . **★★★★★ — fltov, May 2016** > I am a self proclaimed perfectionist and Ray and his crew did not disappoint me. My husband and I are so very happy with our exterior painting project. Ray was very helpful in our color selections and was always available to answer any of our questions. We would highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — vinistyle20, April 2016** > We moved into our home in Mid March and had this company do an amazing job over the terrible paint the owners of our property left for us. They changed and helped us with picking the right colors to accent each room. From there bid we could tell they were a high class and professional company.
