My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Every Now and then, somebody rivals the Sistine Chapel, The work I've seen and reviewed from Hester Painting & Decorating has been so professionally that his work seem brand new, a few years back I contracted to do paint my house, with a lot of trim and some of my cedar had gotten holes by woodpecker drumming, the work was done professionally and cleanly with no visible damage, and a perfect spot on match! Somewhere Michelangelo is smiling.

We recently purchased and remodeled a twenty year old house. Hester Decorating was the single best contractor on the project. They arrived on time, ready to work and with a staff that knew what to do. The men were here for three weeks. Changes were made when asked, without drama. They worked until the job was complete; no interruptions and no lost days. Their work was impeccable. I would have them back anytime. They are highly recommended.

These people are consummate professionals. Jeff Hester came out to quote the job and immediately understood what I was trying to accomplish. He took my ideas the extra step with some great suggestions for finishes and colors. The job required scaffolding and the room was prepped far more efficiently than I have ever experienced. The team was a delight to have in our home for the week. They arrived on time each day- to the minute and left the room immaculate and traversable every night. They had wonderful and creative ideas regarding the smallest of details and the workmanship is superb. We hated to see them leave! It is a pity there aren't more stars to award them. This was an outstanding experience.

We use Hester Decorating, exclusively, for all of our painting needs because they are simply the best. They are not only professionals, but perfectionists, detail oriented, experienced, friendly and neat. They show respect for the homeowners and the home while they're on the job, and always clean up before they leave. The company stands behind their product and customer satisfaction is paramount to them.

We have worked with Hester for over ten years. Most recently we had a steam leak right before Thanksgiving and we needed our entire living room repainted. They were extremely responsive -- they were able to get it done--able to rehang curtains and pictures. Their work is of the highest quality and the guys are great to have in the house.
