I am very pleased with the quality of work this crew did to paint my house inside and out this summer. They are conscientious and respectful of people and property. I highly recommend Capitol Painting Co.

Despite 4 stars, I would not recommend if you have a detailed eye/are particular. Hired Jesse for interior work. Just closed on the house; no furniture in it since I wanted to move into a newly painted home (though I was still, too, in the process of moving). Needed both millwork and painting due to 1) various poorly done wall repairs and paintwork (esp. on a wall I deem the "trouble wall" here) and 2) "bubbles" in the wall & ceiling from nails coming out of the sheetrock--a thing of newer construction. Jesse was my last estimate of 4. He gave a good price, a 100% satisfaction promise, & a shorter project deadline than a contractor I was considering. He didn't seem worried about the price he quoted & seemed to indicate he had a good eye for seeing blemishes. I put my trust in him, esp. since he was the only FT pro painter among my estimates (the rest were general contractors). He was also willing to use a paint that I chose--a premium paint of better quality than the already quality contractor-grade paint he typically uses. While he wasn't as familiar w/my paint of choice, he said he would happily use it. Day 2 of the project, I noticed a glaring blemish on the ceiling, covering probably a 2x2 area. I thought perhaps the paint just needed to dry. Day 3, I look and see it has not changed. I point it out to Jesse; he looks where I indicate & says that he definitely notices it. He felt bad & thought about a course of action. He said since the ceiling would require an entire re-paint to fix that area, he would have to charge me again for it (over $1000!). However, he also gave an alternative that he said would mostly fix the problem, but at no extra cost. Day 4, I check the ceiling; looked better, but still noticeable to me. I looked around & noticed various areas that needed touchups (per paperwork, he's supposed to do daily touchup checks). He also missed a number of spots that needed millwork, including, as I looked, some on the ceiling that I had explicitly pointed out to him to fix before the project started. While he did beautifully on my "trouble wall", I paid him to handle the whole house. Jesse could clearly see I was not happy. He tried to remedy the situation by giving a speech on how he likes the challenge of working for homeowners. He also said he wanted to get paid that day. While I did the risky action of paying him, I did it out of conceding that he worked hard and he did honor coming back 2 more times to do touchups. On the last comeback, I pointed out that he got paint on my outlets (along w/missing some more spots that needed paint). He said paint on outlets is going to happen while painting. However, paint got on most of the outlets. That indicates to me poor prep work. He didn't clean them all the way either. Now, as I go through addressing non-paint issues in a room of the house, I notice that he (or a crew member) didn't remove a wallshelf that easily snaps off. They also didn't unplug my dryer cable. Both have licks of paint on them. If you hire Jesse (or anyone), I recommend checking in throughout the project, morning, mid-day, night (before he leaves)--I could only do mornings. Do a thorough walk-through, w/a light; you are indoors, afterall. Point out things ASAP, even if they seem silly/small/lacking paint knowledge. I know he would have fixed & fully repainted the ceiling if I had pointed it out to him day 2 (when he still had his sprayer on-site & tape-paper up). Can't speak for the other unsatisfactory work, even while present (e.g. outlets) & to include bitty paint spots/mud on things (inadequate/no prep--from doing touchups?). Alternatively, try the guy I didn't, but who noticed blemishes & pops before I even mentioned them, along w/ones I initially missed: Residential Construction Svcs LLC. He would have used the assistance of a light throughout the project, plus had regular practice w/the paint I chose. OR ask (in-store) your local trusted paint store for a recommended painter and/or (if app.) millworker for your needs. Don't stray. And still do your estimates (i.e. interviews).

Jesse and his crew did a beautiful job of painting the exterior of my house, as I expected with his many years of experience. They pressure washed, caulked and painted then did complete cleanup. I have many flowering plants that they were very careful of and worked around. Great attention to detail, no over-spray and no spray patterns, just smooth and even. We did a careful walk-around inspection upon completion and the couple of touch-up items were immediately accomplished. I highly recommend Capitol Painting.

Best job ever!! Jesse painted the exterior of our home. He did a FANTASTIC job and his attention to detail went way beyond our expectations. He and his crew took their time, and put in long days to get the job done right. The crew was clean, friendly, and easy to have around. (Jesse took on a few extra things for us and did so with out payment). That is unheard of these days.They also clean up after each day which I appreciated. I would recommend this company to anyone that wants a fair price and a well done job above reproach.

First rate job fixing and repainting the whole interior of my 2,040 sq ft home with the best color match I've seen! I would highly recommend Jesse and his crew for any painting/texture needs you have!

Outstanding job!!!!! My wife and I have been trying to have our living room painted for more than a year. Currently my wife is deployed. I wanted to finally have it done so we could start turning our house into a home upon her return. Jesse did an amazing job. He not only treated our home and project as if it were his own. He also saw the importance of what we was doin for our family and home. Thank You again Jesse for the hard work, amazing job

Jesse and his team did a fantastic job painting my home. Professional, friendly, great attention to detail, prompt and thorough job. The estimate Jesse provided me was spot on and Jesse did a great job working around the weather. I could not ask for a better experience. I will most definitely be using Capitol Painting Company for my future painting projects!

I really appreciate the work of Jesse and Patrick from Capitol Painting Company. They scheduled my project within a week and performed all of the requested work within the time frame I was provided. They were knowledgeable and professional and did a great job. I had the opportunity to see Jesse’s work on someone else’s home, which allowed me to confidently hire Capitol Painting Company and I am so glad that I did. I am really happy with the work they performed and I recommend them to anyone who needs painting work.

Jesse (and Patrick) did a fantastic job with our interior painting! Jesse was prompt and professional during the early stages of phone calls and formal proposals. They were respectful in our space, finished ahead of schedule, and left everything clean. The walls look fantastic--I'll definitely be calling him for any future painting projects!

We could not be more happy with our decision to hire Jesse to paint our Restaurant building (Pellegrino’s Italian Kitchen ) he totally exceeded our expectations during the entire process. From the bid process, prep work on the building, then the final paint job. Which turned out perfect !! Since this is a restaurant he needed to work around opening hours and customers and did that seamlessly. His attention to detail and commitment to the job is incredible. We plan to have him paint the other 2 buildings on the property next year and would encourage you to hire him for your painting needs.

I was going to try and paint our home my self. My 69 year old body started with our one story shop and it beat me up. Because it was late in the season we weren't sure if we could find anyone with time left in the season to paint out doors. Jesse from Capital Painting Company came out to give us a bid and was great. Easy to talk to, wanted to hear my ideas and is very detailed. We set a date and on that Monday morning he and his crew showed up at 9AM and every morning after that, on time and ready to work. They crawled all over this house, pressure washing and caulking. When it came time to paint, again very detailed with no over spray or trashing shrubbery. When they were finished with the project we did a walk around, they cleaned up and it was done. Jesse is easy to communicate with and responds very quickly. His crew are equally easy to talk to. They finished the job on time with no surprises. If your looking for experts in home painting call Jesse at Capital Painting Company. You will be very pleased. Steve...

Jesse and his crew did an amazing job on our house! My husband is very, very picky and said that Jesse is the best contractor we have ever hired period. Jesse and crew worked very hard to strip our cedar house. He waited until it was fully dry measuring it with a moisture monitor, then back brushed and sprayed the first coat, and then sprayed the stain a second time. Then he nearly painted the whole house a third coat while touching it up. He also did a wonderful job painting our aluminum windows. I disagree with the other reviewer about his eye for detail. Our house looks like furniture because he took his time to literally make it shine. None of these photos have filters. The last two photos are the "before"; one shows the stripping on the front porch. We will use Jesse in future projects for sure.
