I would highly recommend Active Painting. Mario and his crew are not only very professional but they go above and beyond to make sure their work is of the highest quality. They take their time and pay attention to details where I believe other companies wouldn't. I had them do indoor/outdoor drywall repair and painting in multiple spots and even up close you cannot tell where the work was done. Their blending of new to old with the drywall was fantastic and once painted the patchwork disappeared. No outlines, no shadows, nothing. It looks as if no work had been done at all, it looks that good. The crew was very courteous and they made sure to either move anything in the way or cover it up so no paint or dust would get on any furniture. Cleanup from dust or other debris wasn't needed after they left.

I'll start by saying I'm quite a perfectionist and have very high expectations, especially when hiring someone to work on my house. That said, Active Painting just completed painting the entire exterior of my house. To say their work was impressive would be an understatement. They had great attention to detail and it feels (and I'd say looks) like I have a brand new house! In addition to their great work, Mario and his crew were just great to work with. From the time I requested they came out for a quote to finishing the job, they were professional, kind and attentive. They all wanted to ensure I was happy with their work. In addition, they kept everything clean and organized. They worked long days beyond what I would have expected especially given the incredible heat we've been experiencing. In all aspects of the job, they went above and beyond what I would have hoped for. Couldn't recommend them more.

Best painters ever! This is the second project we hired Active Painters for. The completely updated our business making our old building look BRAND NEW! We've had tons of compliments from our clients. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for reliable workers, reasonable pricing, and EXCELLENT results. (Keep in mind, the price was for almost 7000 square feet of space, including painting, repairs, additional installations. Very reasonable.)

We are so disappointed by the work Active Painting did for us. After having a terrible experience with another company, we hired Active Painting to fix everything the first painter did wrong. Based on the reviews we read and conversations with Mario, We expected quality craftsmanship, but the work Active Painting employees did was far from quality. The edging was uneven, the patch work was inferior, the wall in the stairway was scuffed by ladders, a corner of the wall in the stairway and a corner of the wall by the entryway were damaged by the workers, and a bathroom tile was broken. We paid for a finished job, but the work was not adequately completed. What makes this situation so difficult is that Mario knew we had such a bad first experience and led us to believe he would correct it, but he let us down.

I used Active Painting to paint my newly purchased home. We are EXTREMELY HAPPY with experience and outcome, and would STRONGLY RECOMMEND to others. Mario treated the paint job as if it were his home... Mario and his team did an OUTSTANDING, A+, job from start to end. Mario was patient and provided us guidance on paint colors for our home. He and his team went beyond to thoroughly paint the home with EXCELLENCE. He was willing to do touch up paint on extra areas of the home so that it looked better, and even changed the light bulbs and fixtures for me... Again, STRONGLY RECOMMEND. The strong ratings are well deserved.

I hit the jackpot when I found Mario and his team at Active Painting. He arrived on time for our first meeting and within hours I had a fair and reasonable offer in my email. I would not hesitate to use Active again. Very professional and strong work ethic.

Mario and his team have completed multiple painting jobs at my house (both inside and outside) and have done a great job. The painters have been very professional and if I point out any touch ups, they are great about making sure the job is completed to my satisfaction. Highly recommend them!

We hired Active Painting to paint our kitchen, pantry, washer/dryer area, windows, floor trim and all interior doors. They did a great job! The job took several days and Mario kept us updated daily on the progress and time frame to complete the job. His crew is friendly, professional and cleaned up each day. I would definitely recommend them!

We hired AP back in 2015 to paint essentially the entire interior of our large home. From the very beginning Mario (owner) was exceptionally detailed and very flexible with how we wanted to paint our home. Additionally, he essentially allowed us to chose our own paint based on preference, while also recommending what he believed to be superior choice. The crew did an amazing job ensuring no paint sprayed onto ANYTHING else in the home. In fact, there was not ONE imperfection when his crew left. I am very detailed and I went through every corner, every curve. There was also a very challenging, ornate plaster structure on the ceiling of our foyer. His crew was unbelievably able to paint it in one day with amazing proficiency. It came out beautiful. Additionally, the crew worked feverishly to ensure the work was done on time. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Mario and his team for future projects, and I highly recommend him.

We hired Active Painting to re-paint a few bedrooms and touch up some baseboards that needed attention. From estimate to completion, Mario (owner) handled the process, end to end with professionalism you rarely find when working with contractors. He didn't oversell the project and made recommendations where we could spend less and get more. That again, doesn't happen too often. His crew was on time, courteous and completed the job within the timeline provided. When it comes time to re-paint the kitchen and living room, we'll be calling Mario and his guys again.

Being an Architect with remodeling practice for over 20 years, when I see a talent, I know it pays off. If perfection is your only edge, and you can't risk your reputation by amateurs: you need to hire Active Painting! They pay extraordinary care on every little detail, even a small job turns into Taj Mahal. Don't waste your time to check the work they are doing, you will receive an immaculate results by default. They make me proud infront of my clients, evey single time. I highly recommed Active Painting!
