Reviews of Wolverine Custom Painting LLC (Painter)

Lisa Roossien

We have used Wolverine for two projects. The first one was a large basement remodeling job. The carpenters were super friendly and did great work. They were creative in getting straight corners in this old crooked house. They also worked quickly, so since they charge by the hour, we saved a lot off the quote & were unexpectedly able to afford them to paint too! The most recent project was a few small drywall projects. As always, the workers were very friendly and clean. I was unhappy with the recent paint job because the color wasn’t matched well at the store, so Doug (the owner) drove out & repainted the whole wall the next business day. Excellent customer service!

We cannot say enough good things about Douglas and his crew at Wolverine. They have done an excellent job on our exterior and we couldn’t be happier with the result. They are all very professional, knowledgeable, well-organized and simply great to work with. We had our our entire exterior painted and some trim/siding and about half of our deck replaced. Not only did they replace boards on the deck, but also made sure to stabilize it to make it safer for us to be on, they had a few great suggestions that we would not have thought of. They were very thorough and Douglas regularly came by to explain the happenings to us and to make sure everything was on track, changes or ideas were always discussed with us beforehand. Throughout the whole project, we always felt very well respected and as top priority customers (despite being just one job out of many). With this company we invested in quality work that will hopefully last a long time. We feel like we have a new house. Thank you, Douglas (& Co.)!

Just talked to Doug and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Helpful in that even though he could not meet my timing expectations, Doug spent time explaining the details on how to get the deck cleaned and painted and the pros cons of paints. I would highly recommend Wolverine Custom painting,

I have used Doug and his guys to paint absolutely everything inside and outside our home and I have to say their work is excellent. They are clean and punctual and have always been considerate and respectful around my family. I have no reservations in recommending Wolverine for any painting job. Although Doug and his guys can also help with paint colors, for the interior we combined their talents with the design skills of Elizabeth Jarzembowski and built a home with show-quality ambience, exploiting the natural light and external views to create a warmth and ambience we couldn’t have imagined on our own.

We were very happy with the work Wolverine did refinishing our deck. It was in bad shape and needed sanding as well as pressure washing. The job was thoroughly and carefully completed. Doug helped us understand the process and kept us informed throughout the process. He and his workers were courteous and efficient. We would use Wolverine for any future home maintenance project.

Responsible, reliable, efficient, reasonable, and did a beautiful job on painting the exterior of my house. Like new again. We will definitely use again! Doug is truthful and easy to use work with, as are his crew.

We hired Wolverine Custom Painting to renovate the first floor of our home. It started out with a kitchen renovation and adding a shower in our half bath. It later involved moving walls to accommodate a larger laundry room and create a mudroom storage area. The project took all summer and involved every single room in our first floor (except for one room that housed most of our furniture!). We chose Wolverine Custom Painting because we had a very positive experience with the company when they painted the exterior of our home the summer before. In addition, when getting quotes for this big project, Doug Fox, the owner, seemed to be the most reasonable and willing to work in our price range. He gave me all of the receipts for the project and helped figure out different ways to save money. He is a contractor who is willing to pass savings on to his customers. He walked me through the process of renovation and has a good team of subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, etc. The only recommendation I was not pleased with was an interior designer, Elizabeth J, who was unprofessional towards Doug and me. As with any major renovation job, there are frustrations and occasions when you have to make quick decisions. Doug was very approachable and easy to contact throughout the project. John, the foreman on the job, is a very skilled carpenter (and excellent at tiles as well). He was good at being able to solve problems while keeping in mind practicality and budget. Another Doug, who is a painter, was meticulous in painting the interior of our house. He even used his craftsmanship to paint the cement on the floor to look like the slate that did not quite extend below some of the cabinets we had taken out. Being that Wolverine Custom Painting specializes in painting, this renovation project was pretty big for the company. As a result, there were issues with billing since Doug oversees all of the building projects in addition to administrative responsibilities. He is honest, hard working and dedicated, and realizes the need to hire someone to help with office responsibilities. I would highly recommend this company to anyone willing to take a chance on a small company that is branching into the home remodeling world.

It all starts with Doug, who is beyond knowledgeable, diligent, kind, and thorough. His standards are very high, and that shows in the marvelous work done by his team. Wolverine Custom Painting remodeled (transformed!) and painted both of our old bathrooms, which really needed an upgrade. We could not be happier with the results! They also came to our rescue when our large egress window, part of our music studio, began to collapse. Doug and his team completely fixed it and it is better than ever. Thank you Doug, thank you Wolverine!

We had some ipe columns that needed to be power washed/deep cleaned and new finish applied. Woverine did an excellent job in a timely manner! The final project turned out great and they left the work site spotless. Great people to work with.

Doug and his crew worked with us this summer to remove and replace all of the trim and doors in our house. This was a lead abatement project which I was wary to do since I have young kids and was pregnant, but Doug and his crew took our family's safety very seriously. Doug worked with me for a long time before we started the project to determine the best approach. He was very flexible when the scope of the project changed and he kept us within our budget. All of the work they did was high quality. We moved out of our house while the work was being done, so timelines were important to us. The dates they gave us were accurate. Doug is one of the most responsive and trustworthy people I have worked with in this industry.

This is the second project I’ve had Wolverine do for me. Again, I am pleased. They completely restored my deck and gazebo doing carpentry, sanding, pressure washing, screen repair and painting. Doug outlined the scope of the project and his different crews came and got the job done. All the workers are polite and competent. This will be the company I’ll call for future projects. Very professional and trustworthy.

Wolverine Custom Painting came highly recommended to us by family members that had gotten some work done on their house. We had them add an arch opening to our dining room and some other small updates to a home we're doing a major remodel on over the next few years. Doug was great to work with and the arch came out beautiful, we love it. We'll definitely be calling again for more help in the future!

David Semplici

So pleased to have hired Wolverine Custom Painting to build my deck! Doug Fox and his employees worked efficiently, politely and in very friendly manner. Doug kept me appraised of the process and problems that arose and he found reasonable and economical solutions for them. I definitely will use Wolverine Custom Painting again and I highly recommend them.

Katie Harger

I had a great experience working with Doug and his team and am happy I chose to go with them! They painted my kitchen, dining room, hallway and one of my bathrooms for a very reasonable price and did a great job -- I can't find any areas I'm not happy with. Doug especially went above and beyond, meeting with me at times that fit my schedule and even fixing a closet doorknob that had nothing to do with the job but that he noticed and I told him I was having trouble fixing. Great communication and follow-through all around and awesome clean-up job.

Paul Howell

They recently completed painting the exterior of my home and replaced any rotten siding. The crew was extremely professional and very detailed oriented which I appreciated. Also they were just plain nice people.

Doug and Co. were great to work with and did high quality finishes. He worked hard to save us money as well.
