Sharper Impressions Painting Co

The whole team was very nice and knowledgeable. Would recommend to friends and family. Attention to detail was outstanding. Very friendly service! more

The team did a thorough and complete job painting, caulking, repairing and prepping the exterior of my home. They were polite and and professional, kept us up to date every step of the process. I would hire them again for other home paint projects! more

We've already received many compliments and I've recommended Sharper Impressions Painting Company to neighbors. The crew was great and I'm very satisfied. The whole experience from my first phone call to the final walk through has been excellent. more

The whole company, from Manager to Painters were prompt and professional. I was provided an exact price quote that was printed and given to me before the manager left after my quote. No deposit was needed. The price was right in between my other two quotes and with the references in my own neighborhood I didnt hesitate to sign up. My house was very dirty with mildew and dirt, so I was glad that the powerwasher cleaned the home very quickly and thoroughly. I had help from their color consultant, and we picked out the colors in just about 30 minutes. The painters were very nice. They walked the job with me before starting. Everyday they cleaned up. We received two coats of paint and the new color looks amazing! They were careful to protect my windows with plastic and not stomp my gardens. They replaced all the shutters and downspouts once they painted them all with my new colors. The neighbors love the new style. I would recommend this painting services to anyone. more

Honestly, everything started out ok on this job but towards the end it got really weird. The weather was getting bad and the painter wanted to stop and come back and finish up anything in the spring that needed touch ups. There was already some bubbling going on on certain parts of the house. I was promised by the painter and his foreman that one day in the Spring they would come out no problem. I mean i do have a contract and a 3 year warranty. The last day off the job which was mostly gathering their equipment and cleaning out my garage where they worked for a month, the painter approached me and said Sharper Impressions was not paying him what they promised and asked me to pick up the difference. I told him my contract was with Sharper Impressions, not him but I would call his foreman and see what was up. He sounded desperate. He had really worked hard. I called the local foreman and he never called me back after 3 calls. I finally called the company headquarters because I was worried for the painter but also worried if he wasn't getting paid, then he wouldn't want to come back and finish up. I was told that the foreman had been fired by the owner of the company Geoff Sharp. Mr Sharp also promised me that they would come finish up in the Spring no problem and not too worry. I have now been calling for a month and getting no response or call back whatsoever. I have a contract that guarantees the work for 3 years and they never even finished and part of it is bubbling and needs repairing. They are obviously trying to get out of repairing any work and avoiding me at this point. They have basically stolen money from me. I have contacted a lawyer and intend to take it as far as I can based solely on principal if nothing else. They are a SHADY company. I now have been finding many other reviews were people are having similar problems. They will probably be out of business soon which is fine by me. Go elsewhere for your painting needs. more

I was impressed from the beginning with the professional looking quote, my husband really liked that we didnt have to put down a deposit. The house was power washed 3 weeks later, and the crew came out the next week to get started. The trim lines around the windows look great. Im really happy with the new colors we chose, makes the house pop! The crew was VERY detail oriented and made sure to address any of my concerns. Only after I approved all the work, did I have to pay. more

The crew did an excellent job and completed our painting contract as promised. Our wooden windows and the trim never looked so good. They took less than a week to complete the job and was on time with everything they promised. The power washing done was also excellent. more

After I signed to have Sharper Impressions Painting paint my house everthing went wrong. It was a nightmare. They rolled out hispanic subcontractors (they do not have any painters on staff) that did not speak English. They proceded to butcher my home. They did not scrape. They did not prime. They did not actually give me two coats of paint. I argued but it did not matter. They couldn't understand what I was saying. They did not clean up after themselves. They were not detail oriented. IT WAS HORRIBLE. Run the other way. Pros: The salesman seemed to be good Cons: Everything after the sales pitch more

We were getting the exterior of our home painted before my son's graduation party. My wife was running around like a crazy woman getting everything together, the food, decorations, etc. She put me in charge of the painting job since she was too busy to deal with it. The guys were nice, clean and quick; it was probably the easiest responsibility when it came to getting things ready for the party. The job was completed on time. We've already received many compliments and I've recommended Sharper Impressions Painting Company to neighbors. The crew was great and I'm very satisfied. The whole experience from my first phone call to the final walk through has been excellent. Pros: Clean, quick, detailed more

We were trying to sell our home but the realtor told us we really needed to get some wood rot replaced on the exterior trim of our home and should repaint to update the colors a bit. This sounded like a lot of work on a house that we were just trying to sell. We got a flier in the mail with a discount on the wood rot repair and painting if we went with Sharper Impressions; we called and had them out for a free quote and the price was surprisingly reasonable considering we were looking for a basic paint job. I was shocked to see how much more response we got from our listing with the new paint colors. We ended up selling the house 10 days after the painters finished the work. It was worth the time and effort to have them complete the work professionally; we plan to use Sharper Impressions when we?re ready to paint our new home. Pros: Quick turnaround, friendly, excellent customer service more

The whole experience was surprisingly simple and stress free. The quote was quick and Josh was a real nice guy. We weren?t sure at first what work we actually wanted to get done this year, but Josh had no problem breaking up the quote for us into smaller portions. We decided to go ahead and get all the work done this year instead of waiting and doing even more work next year. My wife really needed help figuring out color schemes and she is one of the most indecisive people out there. They set up a meeting with the color consultant; they came out and worked with my wife to pick out the right colors for our home. She was so relieved to know she would have professional help with such a big, long lasting decision. Once we had everything picked-out, Josh got us scheduled right away, the crew was great and efficient. The whole process was great, and with something that is such a large investment, you really want to make sure it gets done right; Sharper Impressions Painting did a great job and we would definitely recommend them to friends and family. Pros: FREE color consultation, quick, stress free Cons: A little more expensive, but worth it in quality more

I am a recent graduate of the Ohio State University. I just got my first townhouse and with very very VERY limited disposable income, i found Sharper Impressions Painting to be my knight and shining armor. Josh came out the day after I called and gave me a print-out quote before he even left. I needed the entire place painted and the price was the best one i had found (and trust me on my budget I did some shopping around). The work was scheduled quickly and Joe did an amazing job making sure my work was done RIGHT. My place looks gorgeous, it was exactly what I wanted and without all the hassle. I will always recommend them to anyone who needs any work done at all. If anything the quote is FREE so you dont have to pay anything unless you decide to go with their company. Pros: Quick, professional, VERY affordable Cons: Gladly there were no cons more

My experience started out well, with the estimator arriving on time and providing a quick, reasonable quote. However, the rest of the experience did not go as smoothly. The estimator told me that I could schedule within two weeks so it could be completed before we had new flooring installed. So, I faxed the contract and waited to be called to schedule. After three days, I hadn't heard anything so I called them. I called them three times over four days before they would schedule my appointment. Then, on they day they were supposed to come paint, they called at 7 am and asked to postpone one day. I agreed. The next day, they were to arrive at 7:30-8 am but called to say they were running late. Upon arriving at 9:15 am, they began to work. The sub-contractors made me a little nervous so I called my husband to come home from work to be with me and my 8 month son. He was able to get back to work quickly, though, because it didn't take the sub-contractors long. They were finished with the job, which included a hallway, two story foyer, office, and child's bedroom, in approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes. The job was supposed to include two coats of paint. They did not use tape around the woodwork and they did not patch the holes in the walls from the previous owner, as I had asked them to do. When I went to inspect as they were leaving, I asked about the holes and they wanted to patch and paint on the spot without waiting for the spackle to dry. I know enough about dry wall to know that if you don't wait for it to dry, it will bubble or sink. So, I had them leave the spackle bare and leave some paint, and I had to finish the job. I also had to patch some additional holes that they left (I didn't notice them the first quick inspection). Also, the painters got some white paint on the carpet in my son's room, and there was an issue with the top of the walls in my son's room. I contacted Sharper Impressions with my problems, and the project manager came out to look at the problem. He agreed that the paint job was less than acceptable and offered to come out and fix the walls as well as give me $1000 for the carpet damage. We scheduled an appointment three weeks later for the walls to be fixed. Two and a half weeks later, the project manager called and stated that they would no longer be willing to agree to the plan that they originally offered. Instead, they wanted to file an insurance claim. However, the insurance adjuster would not be in the office for an additional week so they would come and patch the walls, take the payment for the walls, and leave me responsible for working with the insurance company to fix the carpet. I told him that I would not be interested in working with their insurance company, as it would be a hassle. I stated that I would like to continue with our original agreement, as proposed by Sharper Impressions. They stated that they were not willing to oblige. I have emailed twice and called the owner, but he will not return my calls or emails. The original estimate was on 9-22-09. It is now 2010, and we have not reached an agreement and I have not heard from them. Pros: Quick, Reasonable Estimate Cons: Poor quality, spilled paint on carpet, didn't tape woodwork more

To anyone thinking of using Sharper Impressions, Last year I installed a brand new deck and fence. I called Sharper to come out and have them stained. They came out and nearly refused to give me an estimate because they said it really needed to cure for a year. They said that if they put the stain on now, that I would have to have it done every year, and it would just look really bad. I had CertaPro and a few others come out to take a look and all of them just quoted me (at a higher price) and didn't say anything about that. So, I decided to wait a year and couldn't be happier. A year later, they came out, did an excellent job, and the fence and deck were done. I cannot tell you how refreshing and surprising it was to have a contractor tell me the truth about what I want done, and nearly refuse to do it because it would be poor quality. I so appreciate what they did, and I will never regret having waited the year to have it done. They were honest and professional and the stain turned out so well that I will recommend them to anyone who will listen to me. Really, I'm quite beginning to annoy my friends. Which is why I'm writing this. I still marvel about this! If you want a good, quality job done, I say call them. Sincerely! Marshall Levy Pros: Told me the truth Cons: Had to wait a while more

I had Sharper paint a few rooms on the interior of my home. They sent out a free color consultant because I wasn't really sure what colors to pick, or what would look good with my existing decor and furniture. Once I picked the colors, the painters got the paint from the store, I didn't have to, which was nice. They helped me move all of the furniture out of the way, and were very good about covering EVERYTHING. The walls turned out great and the molding even better. I have painted a few rooms myself and I am never able to get the molding to look good, especially when there is already paint on it, and nicks and stuff, but it ended up coming out looking like new. They hand sanded it and everything. Also, the line where the wall meets the ceiling, is so hard to get to look good, and theirs was so perfect. They were also so fast. Watching these guys work you can tell they've been doing it all of their life, and they are so professional. They did the line at the wall/ceiling freehand, really fast, and it was perfect, I was astonished at their skill. Once the painting was done they helped me open all of my windows, and then they came back once everything had aired out the next day, and went around and helped me close them all, and then they even helped me move all of my furniture back in to place, which wasn't even in the contract. I have nothing but good things to say about the painting, and the company. I suggest that anyone who needs painting done give them a call, I think they do exterior too. They were totally professional from start to finish, and totally understanding of all of my needs and were very contentious in addressing all of my needs. Plus, they were funny. Definite Thumbs Up! Pros: Free Color Consultant, Beautiful more

I would definitely recommend Sharper Impressions to anyone who is having the exterior of their home painted. Mr. Davis and his crew were excellent. I was so surprised with how fast the job was finished, only two days, for our entire house. They were meticulous in their preparation and masking, and were very careful of my plants and bushes. I was so surprised when Mr. Davis came to tell me everything was done. We walked around the house to make sure everything was the way I wanted. They did an excellent job cleaning up as well, as if they were never there, except for my newly painted house! I definitely recommend them! Pros: Fast, meticulous, high quality job more

This company is a hoax. Just to give you an idea of how shady they are...look at the previous three ""positive"" postings. They are all created by the company. Look at the user names : SIcustomerGreggJ, SIcustomerMaryK, and SIcustomerGeorgeH. Do you really think that three seperate people on January 15th (cold) all decided to have very similar user names and post at the same time. They didn't. Sharper Painting does not get goo feedback to begin with. It is just one more example of them scamming the public. THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE A PAINTER ON STAFF! They sub EVERY JOB out. Pros: Not any Cons: They sub out every job to un-screened ""painters"" they find on craigs list. more

Very polite and hard working. I would recommend them to do my house again. Excellent job! Very pleased with work. more

The house is beautiful. Their management and workers were very professional at all times. I will call them for my next paint job. more
