Dear Steven Acorn,

Kyle Betts and his painters did a wonderful job on my deck and car port. They exceeded my expectations! They were tidy, cleaned up after themselves, strowed no paint, were courteous. They did a perfect job.

Dear Student Painters,

We would like to thank you for the great job you did at our home.  We were very pleased with the finished product.  Our fence, deck, and a shelter were stained.  They boys arrived when they said they would be here, and the only problem we had was with the weather.  All the young men that worked at our house were extremely polite, and helpful in anyway needed to get the job done right and in a timely manner.  Ryan, the student that headed up the crew, did a good job managing the work and other students.  There were just no problems, and these students were of good character, and I never heard anyone complain, and it was very hot that week.

We would hire them again.

Dear Mr. AcornThis letter is in reference to Trey Gordner and his team of professional student painters. We could not have asked for a more courteous, professional and hardworking team from start to finish on our deck project. We have many “so called” professionals do work on our home and found that the Student Painters far surpassed our expectations.

Trey is very knowledgeable and represents your compnay in an outstanding manner. Should he decide to stay with your company, he would be an outstanding addition to your management team. Trey always kept us informed as to when they would arrive, what they would be doing and when we could expect a finished project. The students were such a joy and breath of fresh air.

We have been so satisfied with their work and willingness to please that we have recommended them to neighbors, friends and business associates. I only wish we had more projects, time and money to keep them busy all summer.
Thank you for the opportunity to have this experience. What a unique idea and opportunity for college students.

Sincerely,

Bill and Merrilyn Bowman

Dear Sir:I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how much we appreciated the professionalism and work performed by the Student Painter crew that did our house. Ryan Ewert was the person who contacted us about their services – we then called him and asked for a quote. We had already received several quotes from other paint companies, but the price was prohibitive as we had just purchased the home and our house funds were limited. Ryan met with me and discussed what needed to be done (our house is not that old, but had not been painted in quite a while – the colonial blue was actually about 8 different shades due to fading). Ryan suggested a color that would not take two coats – we just wanted the house to look a lot better before we sided it). When my husband came home he had a few questions and Ryan came by once again to discuss the job with him. Ryan was extremely professional, informative and courteous.When it came time for the crew to show up and do the work, they were all very hard working and polite when we came home – moving their equipment so we could get into the garage. Our house is a split level home with the back area basically on the second level due to the lay of the yard. The work was done quicker than I thought it would be, the area was clean, the few areas we asked to be re-painted were done immediately and the house looks great. We let everyone know who did the job!Again, I did fill out the survey, but wanted to convey to you that this crew and leader were one of the most “user friendly” crews that I have worked with in getting things done to our home.Thank you for the opportunity you give them and the service you give to local homeowners!

My business is housed in an historic home in the Historic Oakwood district of Raleigh, NC. I recently had it painted by Student Painters. I was extremely pleased with how well the job was handled. From the prep work, to the painting, to the clean-up; the young men who did the job were professional and conscientious of the coming and going of clients.I was pleased with their communication concerning the days they would be working. They gave me a start date and projected schedule, and they stuck to it.I would certainly recommend the Student Painters. They provide a good service at a good price.Sincerely,

To Whom it may Concern:
I write this letter attesting to Joel Puthoff’s competency and character as a Painting Contractor.As a Manager for Student Painters, Joel entered into a contract to paint my Queen Anne home (c.1890) located in the historic district of Concord, North Carolina. The job involved eight colors, details seldom seen in the present era, and an expectation that the results rise to our demand for the highest of quality.Joel was very responsive to our initial call for an assessment. He invested time and effort, seeking to understand our needs. He met with us twice prior to signing the contract. He provided references and allowed us to review his portfolio, at our leisure. He inspired our confidence in Student Painter’s to meet our exacting standards in a historic renovation.Throughout the project Joel provided support and supervision to his team; despite business travel demands. He routinely visited the sit on weekends and on several occasions spent the day painting; helping move the job along. He was always available by phone and cheerfully accepted feedback and (even) occasional criticism. Joel demonstrated professionalism and commitment to his Customer’s satisfaction.In one situation the contract terms regarding glazing were not mutually understood; Joel engaged in a collaborative negotiation with the homeowners helping to arrive at a satisfactory compromise.Joel demonstrated character and the highest in ethical business practice by fulfilling the contract terms while continuing to focus on Client satisfaction even after learning that the job entailed more labor and materials than he had estimated. Despite this Joel and Student Painters stayed focused on quality and made every effort to meet our expectations.I recommend Joel Puthoff as a business owner and as a Painting Contractor without reservation. I gladly express my satisfaction with the results he and his crew produced for me on my home.

Sincerely,

Alan Bartnik
