Reviews of C.Coco and Sons Painting and Home Improvement (Painter)

John Kennedy

One of the most respectable family owned businesses in St. Louis! The sons are all hardworking guys that take care of their families. The company does quality work in a timely manner, while providing a somewhat, personal experience that makes you feel the fact that they all appreciate your business.

They did an awesome job! I left it up to Chris Sr to decide the detailing in front, and I couldn't be more pleased. The crew worked hard to patch and repair a lot off issues. Clean up was amazing. Zero complaints and I've recommended them to all of my friends.

We have used Chris and his crew on numerous occasions from redoing an entire Wooden framed store front on a historic building to changing doors and painting!! Everything was done so fast and done correctly without me having to be there!! I highly Recommend this company and Chris is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met!

Excellent family-owned business that treated us with respect and did an excellent job. They were extremely accommodating of our request and quick to answer questions in a way that made us feel good about the our choices. We definitely got our money's worth.

Myself, my family/friends and neighbors have used the Coco and Sons painting boys for every painting and home improvement job for 10 plus years. I HIGHLY recommend this awesome team of amazing men. They are hard working, honest, respectful, fast paced perfectionist that ALWAYS get the job done the RIGHT way. They truly take pride in every job they do. Definitely worth every penny. These men are very detail oriented and well respected in the Saint Louis and surrounding areas.

I called these guys told them the need. Said they would have some guy call me. That was three weeks ago. Go elsewhere or waste your time.

I hired Coco & Sons to repair and repaint my historic storefront in St. Louis City. Throughout the entirety of the project I dealt solely with the owner, Chris. When asked, Chris said the work should last about "10 years". I told him I'd be fine with them either replacing the rotted wood, or repairing it based on their professional opinion. He insisted it could be repaired with a rot stop product and he wrote the contract as such. The work was completed over 2 days in early May and, for the most part, went well. His crew was polite and efficient. They even spent an extra 30 minutes doing a direct switch on 2 light fixtures on the façade free of charge. Immediately after completion I actually recommended them to a neighbor. Unfortunately, within a week, cracks began forming on areas of the façade that were repaired. Soon after, Chris came by to take a look. He said he would return very soon to repair the areas. As a few more weeks passed more cracks began to form, the repaired areas of wood became soft, and the paint began to flake (photos attached). During this time, Chris did not return as previously stated. Further attempts to politely follow-up were met with excuses and avoidance. It should also be noted that I offered to pay Chris for the extra work that needed to be done. I decided to wait nearly 4 weeks before following-up again. At this point the excuses and avoidance quickly changed into hostility, bullying, and even, at one point, a strongly implied physical threat (caught on video by my Ring Doorbell). In short, his behavior was completely unprofessional, inappropriate, and, at times, totally bizarre. Furthermore, I was told that my job was only $1,850 and I shouldn't expect much, especially not a guarantee. Obviously, had I known they didn't guarantee any of their work, I would have hired someone else. I'm now left with sub-par work that must be repaired by another contractor. Even after this eruption at our final encounter, Chris went ahead and poorly smashed a bunch of fresh caulk into some of the cracks (photo attached). He then said he would return to check the caulk and paint over in a few days. To no one’s surprise, that was the last time I saw him. I’d like to state that I completely understand that work sometimes does not come out as planned, even when the contractor is great. My real issue lies with the unbelievably unfortunate behavior during the follow-up. I rarely post negative reviews, but my experience was the worst I've ever had with a contractor. In fact, it was one of the worst experiences I've had with any business --- ever. I feel obligated to let others know about the encounter so maybe they can avoid the trouble we faced.

I hired Chris and his sons to complete a fairly large interior job on a tight time frame - Chris came out right away for an estimate, responded quickly, and even worked me into the schedule between jobs in order to meet my deadline. In addition to the professional service, their painting work was immaculate - the walls literally look brand new and there was not a speck of paint out of place. I've been a property owner for 15+ years and have used several painting contractors. In terms of reliability, professional service, and quality of work - Coco and Sons is among the very best I've seen. You absolutely get what you pay for, and I look forward to working with Coco and Sons in the future.

Chris and his son painted our commercial property in a very timely manner and did a fantastic job. Definitely recommend.

How can I share a photo of my home? Chris Coco and sons not just painted, but restored my wonderful Soulard home. I live a stone’s throw from the market (if you have a good arm:). When I’m outside gardening..people stop often and complement my home. Many ask to take pictures often. Thank you Chris Coco!
