(We had others send estimates that showed they didn't understand or remember what was to be done). His crew was nice, polite and cleaned up each day of the project before going home. When Ned did the walk through he had his crew do some extra things that really showed he cared. Our walls, ceilings and trim look great! **★★★★★ — Alexandra Immel Residential Design LLC, Jan. 2016** > Variform Painting painted my 1904 stucco house 3 years ago and did a FANTASTIC job. The paint job looks like it will last a very long time. Ned was very patient and good natured in helping us fine tune our color scheme and then he and his crew were meticulous about the preparation which is essential for a thorough job. They worked very diligently arriving every day on time. On bad weather days they called to say it was not good painting weather so we knew exactly what to expect. Ned has trained his crew to be very attentive to details. We were delighted with the result and highly recommend him to our friends and clients. Ned is very nice to work with and very organized and anyone would be lucky to work with him. **★★★★★ — lasaterone, Jan. 2016** > I've had the oppurtunity to use Variform for three projects. Each project, was executed professionally, and efficiently from start to finish. The best part of the experience besides the high quality paint job, was the customer service. I didn't feel rushed or pushed into making a decision. The owner, Ned Trimming, was extremely helpful and supportive as we all know choosing the right colors can be consuming and somewhat stressful. Ned, assured me that he would be patient with me and his input was insightful and helped me confident with the plan we agreed on. Thanks Variform! **★★★★★ — kaseymdowning, Jan. 2016** > Beyond amazing from scheduling the estimate to the finished product. The owner responds immediately to your estimate request and is out within days to take a look at your job. We have had them paint both the outside and inside of our home and have always been extremely happy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Variform Painting to anyone. In fact they have worked with several of my family members and many of my friends. **★★★★★ — slee24780, Jan. 2016** > Variform was a pleasure to work with. I own an old Seattle craftsman. Ned and his crew did a wonderful job of dealing with the decades of old paint and made the house look really beautiful again. They were on time every day, respectful of my house and yard. The site was immaculate every afternoon when they left. And I am so pleased with the way my house looks. Believe me, this was not an easy job and they performed brilliantly! All that and they were on budget besides. **★★★★★ — Malia Foley, Jan. 2016** > A true professional in all aspects. Ned and his crew were fabulous. Their attention to detail, communication, and delivery were all exceptional. We hired him to paint out our dated oak 90's house. The house is stunning and the work is pure perfection. His crew took such care to prep out the house, hand sand every molding, take off all the windows, and do every last detail you can imagine. It was worth every penny, and I am so thrilled with the outcome. Ned is a craftsman, and not your average painter. These guys are real painting professionals, and I was more than happy to pay the premium for the work done. ## Selected projects - [Wallingford Craftsman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wallingford-craftsman-pj-vj~1513387) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 11 - [Windermere Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/windermere-exterior-pj-vj~1513431) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 8 - [Four Fremont Town Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/four-fremont-town-homes-pj-vj~1513470) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 15 - Description: Four Fremont Town Homes, Interior and Exterior - [Deck Refinish](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deck-refinish-pj-vj~1513488) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 4 - [Wood Ceiling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-ceiling-pj-vj~1513494) - Location: Issaquah, WA - Photos: 5 - [Mahogany Door Refinish](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mahogany-door-refinish-pj-vj~1513491) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 1 - [Garage doors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garage-doors-pj-vj~1513481) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 3 - Description: 5 coats of High Gloss Marine Varnish - [Metal Handrail](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/metal-handrail-pj-vj~1513443) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 2 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/painters/variform-painting-pfvwus-pf~94236817) ## Ideabooks - [Work site photos](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60115153/list/work-site-photos) — 2 ideas - [Ideas at my home](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/59996812/list/ideas-at-my-home) — 5 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/variformpainting) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
