Once he and his team arrived, it was a very relaxed process that made us feel very comfortable. They ended up fixing knicks and cracks in the walls we didn't even know about or ask for. The job took only 3 days and they handled our furniture and belongings with care. We are very satisfied with the quality of work and highly recommend Barry Bush Home Improvements Llc. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > Thank you very much for sharing this positive experience here. We do our best to exceed expectations. **★★★★★ — Lauren Holden, Jan. 2020** > I live in a row house in Philadelphia and hired Barry to paint the first floor, including all of the trim. I was very happy with the work of Barry and his team, especially their attention to detail! I was out of town while the painting was being done and was so impressed with how clean the house was when I returned. Barry was very easy to work with and I will certainly hire him to paint other parts of my house and will recommend him to others. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > Thank you very much for this great review. I’m glad you noticed our efforts to get things done efficiently and cleanly. I’m looking forward to our next project with you **★★★★★ — Mary, Jan. 2020** > Barry is so easy to work with and does a great job! He is communicative, thorough, starts and ends on time and on budget. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > Thank you very much for this quick, short, and sweet review. I’m glad things went well with your project. **★★★★★ — C N, Jan. 2020** > Barry and his team painted and touched up the interior of our somewhat quirky home. The walls look great - all cracks gone, all corners painted. A teammate of Barry's transformed a closet into a marvelous bookshelf. Barry works professionally and his team was very respectful of our home. We'll be hiring his services again soon. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > Thank you very much for this great review. I look forward to working with you again. Thank you for the kind words. **★★★★★ — Matthew Janiak, Jan. 2020** > I hired Barry to paint two floors of my house before move-in on a short time frame. Barry and his team were fast, professional and the job was done on time and exactly as agreed upon. Recommended. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > This job had a tight time frame with a lot of work. Plus, the home owner kept adding more! We figured it out and delivered quality results on schedule. Thank you for this great review! **★★★★★ — Lindsay D., Jan. 2020** > Barry and his team have completed a number of projects around our house with great quality.

We've appreciated Barry's responsiveness and realistic quotes for each job - he is incredibly easy to work with and takes the stress out of home improvement. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > What an excellent review! I know that it is stressful to have strangers intruding in your house to do some work. My team and I do our best to make this an easy experience. I'm glad it was a good one for you. **★★★★★ — Caroline C, Jan. 2020** > We’ve used Barry twice, firs to paint our whole house and then to repaint our hallways. The work was beautiful and his team was kind, neat, and courteous. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > Thank you for this quick and wonderful review! I appreciate it **★★★★★ — Lynne Pastor, Jan. 2020** > Barry Bush and his team are professional: they showed up when expected, prepped the work areas, did fine quality work and cleaned up after they were finished. I would hire them again. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > Thank you for this quick and positive review. I'm glad that you had a good experience with us. **★★★★★ — Rebecca Canna, Jan. 2020** > Barry is my go-to, my first choice for any interior painting. We first hired Barry and his crew over a decade ago for a large project - repainting most of our three story home in West Philadelphia, This included a ton of large, ornate crown moulding. We were very pleased with the quality of the work and since then, we have hired Barry and his crew to do several smaller projects over the years. Most recently, Barry and his crew painted our living room and dining room and some of the trim. As always, the quality of work is top notch. Barry is also very good about communicating throughout the project. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > I find that quick and clear communication coupled with a team that takes pride in their work leads to return clients and referrals. Thank you very much for this review. I've always been happy to work with you. **★★★★★ — Anjali Gallup-Diaz, Jan. 2020** > Barry Bush is exceptional in his professionalism. He uses personable, skilled crew members, and promptly responds to any concerns. Barry is knowledgable and helpful in giving advice when asked. I recommend him with the highest regard. **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > Thank you very much for this short and sweet review. This was an incredibly difficult and messy job. So, I'm glad that you are pleased with the results.. **★★★★★ — Ruth Cohen, Jan. 2020** > Barry was an excellent choice. His bid was fair, his workman efficient and careful. He personally was very pleasant to deal with and accommodating to requests. I also liked the fact that many of his workpeople were artists so took special care and pride in their workmanship. There was never any conversations or music( if you requested it) that was offensive and it was fun having them in our home. I recommend Barry and his company with the highest praise **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > Thank you very much for this great review. I’m glad you liked the cast of characters that I have working with me. I like artist, because they usually do care and have extra attention to detail. I’m glad that you enjoyed our company and our work. **★★★★★ — Sara Corse, Jan. 2020** > Barry is highly responsive, collaborative and a skilled professional. All transactions were clear, timely and reliable. Mike was our painter and he was meticulous in his workmanship and clean up. We needed to give an old bathroom (with peeling paint and plaster on walls and ceiling, and rusty pipes and radiators) a fresh coat of paint, because we aren’t ready for a full renovation. Barry accepted our limits and went beyond our expectations for how this old space could look. We’re already planning to hire him again! **Comment from Barry Bush Home Improvements:** > Thank you for this review. This was a quick and messy job that required some finesse. Fortunately, I had the capacity to get this done. Looking forward to the next job! ## Selected projects - [Southwark on Reed](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southwark-on-reed-pj-vj~6056515) - Location: Philadelphia, PA - Photos: 14 - [Interior Painting and Trim Work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interior-painting-and-trim-work-pj-vj~6009740) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Philadelphia Staircase Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/philadelphia-staircase-projects-pj-vj~6029075) - Location: Philadelphia, PA - Photos: 4 [See all 3 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/painters/barry-bush-home-improvements-pfvwus-pf~758741781) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
