Klassen Painting

I trusted Darren to give me a fair bid, and I signed his contract. Also, let me say, I'm a neophyte when it comes to painting, and what it actually costs. I asked Darren for a bid to paint my back yard cinderblock walls. They are porous, and would probably need to be sprayed rather than brushed. Many moons ago, I tried using a sprayer and ended up clogging the head and getting nowhere. So, I knew I couldn't do this job. Darren got back to me with a bid of $2,400. This seemed high, so I went back to him asking him to do the work for $2,200. He agreed. Here is where it gets interesting. The night before he comes to do the job he called me and asks me to have a check to pay him the full amount before they START the job. I told him I would pay him after the job is complete. He said they would not come out and that I can find someone else to do the job if I would not pay him upfront, $2,200. I reluctantly agreed (my second mistake) even though it says in the contract I signed that "Payment to be made immediately upon completion by check." Darren's crew arrived promptly at 8 am the next morning. They got out their sprayer, purchased paint supplies and started to go to work painting the walls. That's the good news, the bad news for me, is that they were done by 3 pm the same day! That's right, they charged me $2,200 for 2 workers who got the job done in 7 hours. Buyer beware. Darren clearly overcharged me here. I won't be doing any more work with him in the future.

Klassen Painting painted two rooms for me, and did a fantastic job! They arrived when promised, we're polite and professional, worked quickly, and thoroughly cleaned up afterward. They were friendly and respectful of my home, and had great suggestions about how to handle some tricky spots.

We decided this was the year to get the house painted. Our neighbor referred a painter whose proposal was extremely high, and another proposal was too low. A co-worker Jemma Samala recommended Darren Klassen and his proposal was detailed and reasonable. Our entire experience with Darren was simple and low key but professional, efficient, flexible, clean, and very helpful with suggestions!. The rest of the team Jose and Dave were also efficient and very nice, kept me in the loop with suggestions which were spot on. And, a key point for this group which is unusual, Darren did not charge for any of the extras i.e. three different colors, he honored his proposal and their attention to details was impeccable. We highly recommend Darren and his team for any job. I use to work for a developer in RSF and Del Mar, and Klassen Painting is a "klassy" team!

Klassen Painting did an excellent job in painting our home! They expertly fixed alot of cracks in stucco and made our house look like new again. I would highly recommend Darren Klassen and his team. They were very professional, experienced and provided top notch customer service.
