Things to Remember When Painting a Historic Home

Image did a terrific job repainting the outside of our old DC rowhouse! Grevy and his team did excellent, careful work--they did tons of time-consuming prep before they even started painting--and they were always friendly, punctual, and professional. Jankeh emailed us every week or two before they started the job to check in about the likely start date, and they ended up being able to start about a month before we expected! The house looks great, and I really appreciate how communicative and reliable everyone at Image was. I'd definitely hire them again!

This is the second time I've used Image Painting for exterior and interior painting. The quality and thoroughness of their work is impressive. For example, they last painted my exterior almost 14 years ago. That exterior paint was still in great physical shape (e.g., no flaking or peeling), it was just time for a refresh. I really appreciated the communication from the team: the foreman did a thorough walkthrough with me the first day to ensure we were all working from the same instructions, the project manager stopped by multiple times to check on progress, and Andrew (the owner) dropped by once or twice. The team worked quickly and professionally, prepping, painting and cleaning up. Andrew and the team worked with me to find the correct paints for the project and didn't just push me to color match with their vendor or use lower quality paints on high traffic areas. Even with prepping and sanding several walls and a banister, they did a great job keeping dust to a minimum. They were very responsive to small errors I pointed out, even when it meant going back to patch, sand and paint nail pops that had been hard to see, or coming back to sand and repaint something I found after they were done. I'd definitely highly recommend them and use them again.

I will be using Image Painting for my exterior and interior paint and repair needs going forward. From the start of the estimate to the completion of the job, everyone there was professional, helpful and patient. I had a complex job inside and outside of the house that changed in scope and took months to get final approval for from an HOA and a separate company's work. Andrew at Image Painting was there throughout the process to help get things set up. Once the job was underway and after it was complete, Jankeh at Image Painting personally came to the site to inspect the work. Overall a solid company with people who care about the job being done right.
