Robert Lomax of Better Home Ideas was recommended to me by a design professional, and he didn't disappoint. He was eminently polite, knowledgeable, punctual, tidy, and professional. He replied promptly, provided a reasonable bid, understood the nuances of what my vintage condo required in terms of paint prep, finished on budget, and ever so carefully moved all of the furniture and artwork and then replaced all of the pieces with zero damage and exact accuracy both with respect to the paint job and the furniture placement.
He left the work area spotless each day and concluded on time. Having had various painters over the years, none have matched his combination of professionalism, knowledge, accuracy, and excellence. I recommend him without hesitation.

Robert and his team have been our painters for almost 10 years. They do incredible work and they are competitively priced. Equally important they show up when they promised and always finish on time or ahead of schedule. I recommend them highly

Commented: What color should I paint my cedar hope chest?Why don't you try blue with a hint of grey. I think it will give some accent to the room.
