**★★★★★ — Louise and David Booth, May 2021**

> This painter is very professional. He accomplished what he said he would. He was easy to work with, reliable, and a nice person.

**★★★★★ — David Trevey, April 2021**

> Jay did an excellent job painting our exterior house trim and shutters.  He was communicative, reasonably priced and diligent in his work and scheduling.  We are having him back to paint our deck as soon as he is free!  Would highly recommend to anyone and in fact, I have recommended him to neighbors and friends.

**★★★★★ — Cathy P, April 2021**

> Jay does a great job and has painted the exterior of two homes for me. Punctual, neat, high quality result and fair price. Definitely recommend.

**★★★★★ — John, April 2021**

> Jay did all the trim on our house – inside and outside. The house looks great and sold very quickly. He's got an eye for detail– straight lines, lots of tape, and really good suggestions about what we needed to do to make the curb appeal pop.

**★★★★ — wemskii, March 2021**

> Jay the Painter painted the exterior trim on my two story home in 2019 and I found his work to be outstanding and his skills to be admirable.  He adhered to our agreed schedule and kept me advised of progress as well as a few maintenance issues that needed my attention. He was very efficient and particularly tidy - leaving no mess, no runs, no drips, no errors.

**★★★★★ — Bill and Maureen Carman, March 2021**

> Jay the Painter completed several types of painting jobs for us, from beautifully repainting a pergola and wrought iron furniture, to exterior home painting. His professionalism, advice, and dependability make Jay the Painter the first person we call for our painting projects.

**★★★★ — JHRH, March 2021**

> Jay was courteous, honest and did a great job repairing and painting some tough old original woodclad windows on my 1940s historic district home

**★★★★ — Ronda Beck, March 2021**

> Outstanding work on drywall repair and cleanup. Great job on painting walls and trim. Trusted worker and safe to allow him to work unsupervised. We even left town for the week!
