A State of Paint

Charles Hunnicutt on A State of Paint

We recently had the pleasure of working with A State of Paint for our exterior home painting, and the results exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, owner Vince was professional, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to walk us through every step of the process.

The on-site team, led by Jose and his daughter Edith, brought both craftsmanship and care to the job. Their attention to detail was outstanding, and you could tell they took real pride in their work. Edith was especially thorough with the trim and finishing touches, and Jose managed the crew with a calm, efficient leadership style that kept everything on track.

The job was completed "close" to on-time, but only due to weather hiccups. The worksite was left clean, and our house looks absolutely stunning. We've already had neighbors stop by to ask who we used!

I was very impressed with having the exterior of my house painted, and the railings to my deck stained. Vince the owner showed up on time to give me an estimate. He was very friendly and thorough explaining things to me. His communication during the entire process was great. I ??percent trusted him and his crew. They did such a great meticulous job in a timely manner. They were also very good covering bushes and taking care of all landscaping. The crew was so nice and proudly walked me around when they were finished.

Here's why we will not recommend Vince or A State of Paint.
1. Poor / No communication and Poor scheduling –The owner did not communicate scheduling or the next steps after payment. After not hearing from anyone for ten days, we contacted the owner. The painters do not notify the customer they are on their property, which could be a liability. They left our gate and garage open, which could've caused theft. When I mentioned it to the owner, he replied that we should've mentioned in the beginning that we wanted to be made aware of them entering our property. (See attached for details on this)
2. No clear expectation of what was needed from us, the client, vs. what his company would provide. For example, the use of extension cords for power washing, the use of our water, and the use of our trash bin. We could not use our bin because all the painting material was in our trash bin. Therefore, we had to hold off on emptying our trash as we are not allowed multiple bags on trash day per HOA, or we would have to pay.
3. The work listed in the estimate was not the job done. The power washing was done at a minimum, but there was no sanding, scraping, or removal of chipped paint on the home built in 2007. Several areas of our house were not painted in the original color. Paint drips on the window that was not cleaned. Once we notified Vince of the unfinished job, he sent his painters back out to complete the job. Unlike his other clients, Vince did not want to come to inspect the work.
4. The service provider demonstrated a clear lack of respect for our property, resulting in damage. Our spigot was broken, and our foliage was stained with paint, causing the plants to die. This disregard for our property is clearly visible in the attached visuals.
5. Trash was left on our property for us to clean/remove. One bucket and seven paint cans, all empty, were left; empty water bottles were left in our yard, and leftover tape was left in our plants. When we told the owner, Vince, he agreed to come and retrieve the empty paint for proper disposal but has not shown up. We had to take the empty paint bucket and cans to Sherwin Williams to dispose of them properly.

When we contacted Vince about the broken spigot and empty paint cans, his response to our concerns was disappointing. He stated that he has painted hundreds of homes and has never experienced this. No inspections were done, no walkthrough, and minimal communication was done as he did with all the other clients. After reading the reviews, I wonder if Vince and the company treat specific clients differently. This lack of accountability was disheartening. During the last three months, we have had several contractors out to work on our home, and working with them has been a pleasure. We have given excellent reviews. They respect and value our time, money, and property. I can unequivocally say Vince and State of Paint are not one of them.

We had an excellent experience with Vince Wilson and his team at A State of Paint. As a Realtor I'm rather picky about the quality and value of paint projects, however we were really impressed by Vince and his crew. They worked so hard and meticulously. Very respectful of our time and responsive. I definitely plan to recommend them for my clients.

A State of Paint is incredibly professional and does beautiful work. We have had interior and exterior paint projects on our home, and most recently our kitchen cabinets painted. They were a darker wood and Vince's team painted them a light gray color and they are stunning (see pics for before and after)!
I highly recommend Vince and his team! The cabinets turned out way better than I could have imagined and we really appreciated the level of time and attention spent ensuring they looked perfect. Thank you to Vince and his team for another beautifully completed project!
