**★★★★★ — Nancy Cooke, Feb. 2026**

> Mr. Owens did an excellent job of painting our kitchen cabinets. He came just following a winter storm and worked all week to
> complete the work so we wouldn't be out of a working kitchen too long. He was very responsible in communicating every day when he would be at our location and when he would be transporting materials. He was very careful to make sure everything was neatly edged and cleaned up every day. I would highly recommend him to anyone else who wants cabinets repainted.

**★★★★★ — Maggie Considine, March 2018**

> I've recommended Exceptional Painting to several of my real estate clients, and all of them were very satisfied!  Leondras's crews are thorough, professional, and reasonably priced.  They're the ones I always call!

**★★★★★ — Arlette Pendergraph, Jan. 2018**

> As a Realtor, I have used Exceptional Painting for all by buyers and sellers needs for many years. They are always my go-to! With clients having deadlines, Exceptional Painting always tries to accommodate their needs and finish in a timely manner. Always professional and courteous, Leondras (owner) oversees carefully all projects to ensure top quality. There are so many types of paints to choose from these days, it can be overwhelming. His knowledge and advice is far above anyone else you'll find. Upon completion, he will walk through the project with you to ensure your complete satisfaction. He also warranties his work. It cost what he said it would cost, so no surprises.
> Each day, they clean up, and are always careful with your personal property, surroundings, and landscaping.
> Not only do I have him work with my clients, but he has done work on 2 of my own houses- interior and exterior for both.  I am always very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them.

**★★★★★ — Adrienne, Jan. 2018**

> Exceptional Painting painted my entire house except one room and did an outstanding job.  The job was timely, without a lot of mess and with professionalism.  They work with me on choosing paint colors and making sure, I was comfortable in my home while the work was being done.  I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional painting company.

**Comment from Exceptional Painting:**

> Ms. Adrienne good evening. We appreciate your review,  and for choosing our company. If you have any issues at all, please don't hesitate to call us. If you decide to change one of your colors within a yr, we will discount that room by percent.
> Thanks again,
> Leondras

**★★★★★ — Richard Bishop, Jan. 2018**

> I recently hired Exceptional Painting to repaint 2 bedrooms and a large hallway, They had originally painted these for me way back in 2006.
> Leondras and his team came on time and completed the job in two days just as they said they would. The price was exactly as quoted.
> They did an exceptional job in all the work they did for me. They carefully covered everything not to be painted, did excellent prep work and painted everything so that it looks great! I highly recommend them for all of your painting needs. I plan to hire them again myself to repaint other rooms in my home.

**Comment from Exceptional Painting:**

> Mr. Bishop I appreciate your faithfulness in hiring us again. I will give you the same deal in the future. Thanks,  Leondras Owens Jr

>
> After acceptance, the job was scheduled and completed quickly to meet our needs.
>
> Mr. Owens, the owner, was very professional and communicated with me as the work proceeded.  His crew worked continuously and politely, unlike other painters we have used.
>
