Reviews of Colorwheel Painting (Painter)

Brad Holeman

Mike is an extremely honest contractor. His quotes are iron-clad, his workers are clean and friendly. Best of all the work product is excellent and affordable. Mike and his crew spruced up my old home for sale. They did such a nice job with it that I had them do my new home as well. Could not be happier. Thanks Mike!

Nick DeMark

Colorwheel Painting is top notch. They made important suggestions about things I hadn't considered on the current project I am working on. The crew is neat, courteous and professional. They arrive on time, do an excellent job and clean up after themselves. Thank's for the great work!

Nicholas Konzal

Colorwheel painting has been a great resource for me on multiple projects. As a professional interior designer I look for a very high level of craftsmanship and service from a painting contractor. Colorwheel has shown time and again they have what it takes to do the job well and with great service. I would highly recommend Colorwheel painting!

Connor Wiesner

Worst experience ever. Quality was horrible. When I question the work done, they were extremely defensive. I'm surprised they're in business.

Bryan Cerro

I feel highly disrespected by this company. I had someone come to give me a quote on painting two rooms. The person doing the quote, who knew I had a competitor also giving me a quote, told me something along the lines of "If you were looking for the cheapest option, that probably isn't us. We often give the highest quote price." He proceeded by taking photos and measurements. It has been almost a week and I haven't received my quote yet. The project is done and still no quote. Their competitor gave me a quote on the spot. I'm under the impression the person giving me a quote judged me and though I was looking for the cheapest option and thus never followed up. RUDE!

Sue Fohey

Thanks to Mike the owner, our salesperson Andrew, and the great painting by Sheryl, my kitchen cupboards look fabulous. A professional job all around and would recommend them to anyone! Great job Colorwheel!

Just Diddy

Horrible, would not recommend. Mediocre paint job at best. To add. Be prepared to do the cleaning up yourself. If they get paint chips or paint on your house, neighbors yard, gutters, porch, bushes or windowsills, they are not obligated to clean up the mess even though the contract states they will clean. Per- Mike the owner.

Showed up late, said quote would be sent by email within 3 days. Two weeks later and nothing. Followed up by email Monday, no reply yet (It’s Saturday). Do not waste your time with this unprofessional company

John Gscheidmeier

Thanks Mike & your staff for your continued professionalism, prompt responses when needed, and your market expertise. These guys do a great job and take pride in genuinely helping people. We know when we refer our clients to this company that they are in great hands and will be taken care of. Thanks for the great work!

Steve and I were introduced to Mike and his team a couple of years ago by our remodeler. We are thrilled with the work they have done and, just as important, with their extreme customer service. Bill did painting and staining work for us a couple of years ago as part of our home remodeling. We then had all of our interior six-panel doors painted. They are beautiful, and what a difference that has made. Sheryl stained our new pine patio door this week, and it's gorgeous. A great stain match. The list continues. Andrew provided us a quote (for the future) to paint our kitchen cabinets, and Jon will be here tomorrow to provide a quote on our exterior. That project will be underway the moment the weather turns. Colorwheel has become a part of our family! So thrilled!

Richard Kohl

5 Star results. I couldn't be happier with the quality of product and the outstanding service. Our painter and installer Dan was meticulous in his painting and clean up and attention to detail. Our kitchen looks like a new kitchen, granite counters and Tuscan tile have come alive. You were able to take outdated oak grain and turn it into smooth painted cabinets. I can't say enough good things about Colorwheel painting. Totally professional. Worth the price for quality. I'm happy to be a reference for Colorwheel and any potential clients are welcome to come and view the results. Thank you Colorwheel, Michael, Andrew and Dan. Richard Bayside WI

I was introduced to Mike when I joined the NARI Association and I have found Mike to be very professional, very honest and also very timely in his response to my family and friends who I have referred him too. During a visit to his office I was introduced to members of his "team" all of whom were very friendly and very professional. I would encourage anyone looking for interior painting to contact this company. 5 star people and 5 star service!

Willim Palmer

In May 2018 we had our bathroom remodeled and our remodeler contracted with Colorwheel Painting. This was our first experience with this company. Andrew came with a ton of color choices and helped select a color that turned out to be better than I imagined! After the job was done, we asked for the name of the painter because the bathroom was beautifully painted and absolutely NO MESS! So great, in fact, that we asked for Jamee again - this time for our master bedroom and office. Jamee painted both rooms over the 4th of July Holiday and, again, so perfect! Andrew came over and provided a quote and again helped select colors (so great in this area) and Jamee is the epitome of workmanship & excellence! We highly recommend Colorwheel Painting (especially Jamee).

Jeff Voisin

Colorwheel painting did a GREAT job on a project I had. The guys were clean, polite, and quick. I had no issues with the work they did at a fare price. I would recommend them to anyone.

Barbara Reinders

Ive owned a home for over 30 years and again experienced a terrible customer service experience recently. It makes me wonder who nowadays does do a job correctly?? Well Im here to tell you who: Colorwheel thats who. Im fed up with contractors not showing up, furniture and appliance stores delivering the wrong thing on and on. What ever happened to hiring somebody who just comes and does it the right way end of story?? I have found who does this and it is Colorwheel painting. I hired Colorwheel to paint my 90's oak cabinets Dover white and they are brilliant and beautiful and then they repainted my mantle in a colored varnish in a dark chocolate brown and it is beautiful. They came, they did it and it's perfect! Thank You! I don't know why no other contractors or stores can do anything right in this world.

Greg de Roussan

Seriously fantastic job. We had just moved in and we definitely threw plenty of curve balls at our project manager Andrew with our crazy schedules and juvenile understanding of how paint works, but he was able to accommodate with ease, patience, and professionalism. The painters are pro and can paint clean line on a hairball. I will definitely be hiring them again on our next project.

So, after reading all the reviews for this company, I decided to go there to see for myself because I am looking to get my home repainted. First, it's a business that you cant just walk into. It's by appointment only, it says that on the door. There was a lady in the building, but they were closed. Really?! I had to leave a message. The people that left not so good reviews I see why. Think I'll pass on Colorwheel.

Having a background in Construction for over 20 years I can say without hesitation that Colorwheel Painting has an unequalled presence in the Industry. They have the best of both worlds in Top rated craftsmanship AND a Level of business Integrity that leaves the closest competition far behind.

Ben Callif

It's been so stressful to deal with my new home. But working with Colorwheel Painting has been the easiest part of the whole ordeal!! Everyone I worked with at Colorwheel displayed the same accessible attitude--you can really tell that the owner instills a positive working culture in his employees, which is a difficult thing to find in a business. I see some negative reviews on here saying that Colorwheel was "unprofessional." I would guess that these people aren't used to being treated with such honesty and friendliness. It can be confusing to be treated as a person when you are expecting a business to lack compassion and humanity (like they often do). If you expect to be deceived and exploited for profit, prepare to be surprised by Colorwheel Painting. You'll be happy you worked with them!

Elyse Biesboer

Working with Colorwheel LLC has been nothing less than a disaster! We are so disappointed that we ever worked with Colorwheel LLC, as having someone paint and repair our home was supposed to make life easier to move into our new home and prepare for a new baby. Instead it has added so much unnecessary stress and missed work due to the amount of times we had to continuously meet with Mike and his team because the job was not completed properly the first, second, third, etc. time. We hope that this can be resolved fairly as Mike Madsen of Colorwheel LLC has been far from fair or professional throughout this entire process, and we are now left with a home looking worse than before we ever let him into it.

Ellen Roy

Wonderful experience with a gorgeous job done in a timely fashion ~ would highly recommend!

Jacqueline Muirhead

Had the estimate and work done within 3 days!! Both the estimator (Marcus) and the painter (Bill) were extremely friendly, professional and efficient!

Barry Hintz

Great service and work at a fair price. The owner has the highest level of integrity and it shows in his company!

Ea Jackson

Good

Donna Goelz

So, signed a contract with this company In April and as of today our house is still not painted. They started the project July 31. My husband and I did go on vacation as we had that planned for several months for a week and a half. They came back on Wednesday of the middle of August and that is it so far. They obviously don’t look at radar because it was supposed to rain and guess what the rain missed us. As a matter fact the sun is shining out to this afternoon so one would think they would’ve been out here earlier at least finish the first coat. But wait there is more... they have broken off the furnace exhaust pipe outside; broken off 2 tree branches off of my neighbors Pine tree in between our house, power wash not only my house but my windows as well. They do not clean up after themselves. I still have tape around one of my outside windows, my planters were left in the middle of my yard, all their ladders yeah they leave them at your house as well And some even still in the upright position.They also took the electrical wires that were attached to my electric box outside of my house and have now rubber banded them so they are hanging down about 2 feet from my house. I do have a small child that lives with me so imagine a latter left up right and live wires - can you say safety concerns! My husband is now outside painting the side of my garage himself as he is tired of waiting for them to come and finish. The communication is also very poor. I don’t have any idea as to when they’re going to show up! I think the biggest frustration was when I talk to the lead painter of the crew he denied breaking off the furnace exhaust pipe and so forth so now I have no trust and no faith with this company. Oh and did I mention that I’m still waiting for my house to be finished!

Colorwheel Painting was a wonderful experience for us. Rylie Stelter, a most engaging young man, guided us through the nightmarish job of wallpaper removal done extremely professionally by Rich Sowinski. After the removal, the room was painted and looks brand new in spite of the fact it's 100th birthday is now. Rylie truly knows the art of professional work as well as knowledge in color coordination. We couldn't be happier with the quality of Colorwheel's work and have plans to use them again in the future. And, they're extremely reasonable as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Cavadeas Family

We couldn’t be happier with the work that Colorwheel Painting has done for us. We had most of our wood trim painted white and all the walls repainted. Their work has completely transformed the look of our home! Andrew was such a help from the beginning quote to the end, quickly answering any questions we had. Marcus and his crew were also fantastic to work with, always being respectful in our home, and keeping us up to date on the project timeline. Overall we are extremely pleased and look forward to working with Colorwheel on other projects in the future.

Tim Vertz

Mike and the expert painters at Colorwheel are without question the best painting team in Wisconsin! They take the time to really learn what their customers are looking for, have great communication throughout the entire project and provide a the highest quality work at the best value. They are highly recommended!

Tom Gaumond

very happy with the work we have had done by colorwheel painting! Efficient, good price and great service!

Al Franti

Colorwheel painting consultative approach and professionalism is second to none! They take care of your needs and would highly recommend them. They follow through and clean up when done!!

Steven R Libbey

This is a great painting company. They painted our kitchen, hallway and upstairs bathroom two years ago and last year painted our very high ceiling large great room and the exposed upstairs hall and loft and some trim around the front door and garage door. For each piece Mike quoted a great price and the crews did a fantastic job. I tried to get things out of their way but whatever I didn’t they quickly protected with plastic and heavy duty soft blankets. In less time than it would take me to tape any individual room off they taped off, painted, removed tape and cleaned. It is amazing to see how fast professionals tape and paint and how perfectly they put paint on. They filled dents and holes and left the house cleaner than they arrived. With the kitchen they saved me weeks in a day and I wouldn’t even try to paint twenty foot high walls so in the great room they worked magic. The only problem with Color Wheel is they are so busy it can be hard to get on their schedule so plan ahead and have them do the job. You will never regret it. Great company, highest recommendation.

Ahmed Siddiqui

I don't live in Milwaukee but I was recommended to Mike the owner for some advice I needed on paint. Mike provided me some great insights and ideas on things I should look for in paint finishes. Super helpful, just wish I can have him come to Minnesota to paint my house!

Mary Ann Guenther

This is at least our fourth or fifth project that we have partnered with Colorwheel on. We have used Colorwheel for staining of woodwork and doors, patching and painting of ceiling and walls, and painting of outside siding. All projects were completed with professionalism and attention to detail. And I was so happy to have two female painters on this last job at our home! Jenny and Sherry were a pleasure to work with. Great job from Andrew with helping to suggest colors that we may not have otherwise considered. Colorwheel does not disappoint.

Marian Harper

Just recently I was thinking of how great a job you all have done on my kitchen cabinets!! I think it was about 3 years ago that you painted them and I am still and often happy with the job you did. They have had such a lovely finish and have not cracked or chipped or in any way disappointed me. I clean them often--they are very light grey--and they have held up stupendously. Thank you for your fine craftsmanship and your attention to detail. And yes, it does take longer...but it has been worth it. Butch and Marian

Quality Cabinetry work

Kyle Harvey

As first time homeowners, we wanted a home with character and personality. We moved into our 1920’s Bungalow two years ago and have since added our own flare to the interior. Last Spring, we realized the exterior of our home was in need of some TLC; the wood siding had paint chipping off, the color was fading, and we knew it would be a huge job. We wanted to find someone knowledgeable enough to handle our older complex home and was willing to work with us. Mike and his crew were extremely helpful, informative, and friendly. To say we were pleased would be an understatement. The house is outstanding and the quality of work was top notch. We would recommend Colorwheel Painting to anyone, they exceeded our expectations and beyond!

Linn Elliott

Colorwheel was really easy to work with, and their crew was prompt, friendly and did a professional job in a timely manner. And they cleaned up after themselves really well (it's the little things...). I'd definitely work with them again.

Shirley Gilbert

Excellent!

Beverley Ferrara

When I moved to Whitefish Bay four years ago, I was so glad I found Colorwheel through a personal recommendation. Mike and his team are all super nice, professional and projects are priced reasonably. Our most major project was spray painting our kitchen cabinets which still look great. They were also infinitely patient, even repainting an entire room when I couldn't make up my mind on colors for bedrooms. I've had Jenny to the house recently to do some refresh painting and she was fantastic. Arrived on time, couldn't be more helpful, worked quickly and left everything immaculate. Highly recommend Colorwheel!

Holly B.

Colorwheel painted 2 bedrooms and our kitchen nook. We are very happy with the quality of the work. Staff was professional and timely. Everything went smooth. We will be using them for future projects.

John Phillips

Colorwheel has become a highly recommended trade partner with The Cabinet Maker, LLC. Great compliment to our team on kitchen refacing pojects.

Andrea Schneider

They were terrific and very professional. They even finished early. Will happily use them again for our next painting job.

Tim Baack

Colorwheel is an exceptional painting company. We could not be happier with their interior painting our historic home in Milwaukee. We have retained them to paint the exterior as well. They are conscientious, hard-working, patient with questions, and their attention to detail is impeccable. Best of all, they do what they say they'll do and ask regularly for feedback; no small thing in dealing with contractors. Do not have a second thought about hiring them.

Brian Thompson

Great company with a phenomenal reputation. Many organizations cut corners to create greater margins in this business. I don’t know how they do it but these guys provide unmatched service and workmanship with exceptional pricing. I highly recommend Colorwheel Painting to anyone looking for interior or exterior painting in Greater Milwaukee!

Hannah Lane

They were so kind, efficient and do a GREAT job. We just bought an amazing condo and we wanted to get a couple of rooms painted before we moved in to make it feel like ours right away. They were super quick to get a quote to us and even could do "alternate" quotes for rooms we were considering--just to know for the future. They got 3 rooms painted for us before we moved in and it's BEAUTIFUL work. We couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Colorwheel! :) I would recommend them in a heartbeat and we will use them again for all of our painting needs.

Fred Hoppe

Great personalized service and work at a fair price. You can’t ask for a better company to work with.
