JAMES PAINTING

James Painting holds 4.7 stars from 59 ratings on both HomeAdvisor and Angi, 4.6 from 12 on Google, and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. The company says it has been in business 20 years, and its website lists a service area that includes New Fairfield, Newtown, Ridgefield, Norwalk, Greenwich and Rye. A recent Google customer said Angelo came to their condo and went over everything with them, and that the workers were on time, polite and finished the job on time. A recent Google customer wrote that the company did a terrible job and disappeared without finishing the work, and said they spent an additional $2,000 on another company to try to fix it. In a 2023 review, a customer on a tight timeline said Angelo brought in extra workers so that what would normally be a two-day job was done in one day, from proposal to completion in 24 hours. A 2022 Angi customer said the company power washed the aluminum siding of their house and then painted it, and that extra crew members came on the last day to finish before the weather changed. A 2022 customer who hired them twice said they were careful with furniture and rugs and left everything clean at the end of every day. A 2019 customer described an interior paint job and exterior power washing, with small cracks patched along the way. That 2019 customer named the owner as Mario Angelo and said he later gave them the exact color and brand of the paint so a touch-up would match. A 2019 customer described an interior painting and floor refinishing job on an old house. A 2019 customer said the company stood them up the first time the project was supposed to start, and wrote that a phone call or a text would have made the difference. In a 2017 review, a customer said the stain on their hardwood floor was not applied uniformly and called the result disappointing.
