Reviews from Homeowners Who Hired Our House Painters in Hartford
Posted on Cassandra DzindzaletTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Alves Painting! I asked Douglas to de-popcorn and paint the entire inside of my house before I moved in. That was about a 10 day window and a huge ask. Even with some curveballs (asbestos), Douglas and his team worked overtime to ensure the job was done by my move in day. He also got some sheet rock done when I asked him to close up an interior door. Douglas was communicative, professional, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I’m so happy with the results; Douglas takes pride in the quality of his work and it shows.Posted on Luciléia SousaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
