TOM CARROLL PAINTING

Speed and price are what brought people to Tom Carroll Painting, whose written reviews on Angi run 2021 through 2023. A January 2022 customer said the crew turned a painting job around inside a week. An August 2021 reviewer got a quote almost immediately and had the team painting the apartment the next day. Another in 2021, pricing a 1,500-square-foot townhouse against four painters, put Tom's $4,200 at the bottom of the four. Neatness runs through those years too. A February 2022 customer wrote that the crew never used tape and the lines came out perfect, and that Tom painted two doors that weren't in the job. Another that same month said they picked up everything off the floor and vacuumed the first floor where they worked. In July 2021 a homeowner described an antique beamed ceiling finished along with the walls, woodwork and louvered closet doors; in August 2021 another had wallpaper stripped, walls patched and sanded, then painted. Commercial work shows up as well — a November 2021 client had a law firm painted around the firm's own hours. Two of the 25 written reviews describe the finish going wrong. In November 2021 a customer wrote that $875 was down the drain and the kitchen needed to be entirely repainted. In February 2022 a three-star reviewer — who had chosen Tom as the most knowledgeable and the lowest priced of several quotes — called the work sloppy, with streaks, and told readers to scour every inch. An August 2021 reviewer landed in between: patchy communication, but the job done well and quickly. Worth a quote if you want a straightforward interior repaint scheduled fast and priced keenly. Walk every room in daylight with him before the final payment and agree in writing what happens to touch-ups, and ask for a couple of recent references alongside the estimate.
