Excellent work at very competitive prices
I hired Kimberly Painting to do some work on the exterior of my home. Before hiring them, I took quotes from four other painting companies. Not only was Kimberly's quote the cheapest, but it also included the most amount of work. The crew that painted my house did an amazing job. They worked quickly, communicated with me often and we're always on time. When they finished, their work exceeded all my expectations for how it would turn out.
BMB. MurdockGreat company, great results
We are in the midst of a remodel, and used Kimberly Painting to handle all the interior painting: walls, ceiling, trim, and cabinetry. They did a great job, and we are very pleased with the outcome. The people are great, and you get the very real sense that they genuinely want to do whatever it takes to please you. We really enjoyed working with the whole team, the painting crew, the office, and the project manager. A great company.
TBT.H. BarrKind and Hard-Working!
I picked Kimberly Painting randomly, and I'm glad I did. They first painted my interior in 2021, and they just completed my exterior. Both times they did a beautiful job, and the team of painters are always kind and hard-working. The owner, Mark, is easy to talk to, and the prices can't be beat.
