Customer Reviews
Sidney Tildsley
We were happy to have Jake to redo our kitchen cabinets. From start to end he handled the job. He always kept me as to the progress of the job daily. I gave him a key on the first day of the job. I knew from the day one he was a honest man. The product was flawless. The installation was tedious. Jake worked his butt off everyday, the results were perfection. I would give Big Dog a great reference and answer any concerns a future customer might have.

Big Dog Painting completed my kitchen cabinet painting in five days. Jake and Leo did an excellent job refinishing the cabinets, fixing broken hinges and adjusting drawers. The worksite was always clean, and kitchen accessible after they were done for the day. I would recommend them to anyone interested in upgrading their kitchen. Also, Debby was extremely helpful in scheduling the project and answering any questions. Thank You Jake, Leo and Debby ??

We couldn’t be happier with Big Dog Painting! From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations, restoring our 1840s historic home with exceptional care. They handled everything—from the carpentry work on our front porch to the full exterior painting—while preserving the character and charm that makes an old home so special. Charlie quickly became our go-to person throughout the project. He understood our vision right away and guided us in choosing the perfect materials to bring it to life.
Tim and Angel rebuilt our porch with incredible attention to detail, preserving the charm and character of our 1800s home while giving it a much-needed refresh on the decking and railings.
Meanwhile, Derek and Ever led the painting crew in completely transforming the exterior. Huge credit to Ever, Oscar, Santos, and Camilo for their hard work—especially in the 90+ degree heat! The team left our home spotless every day throughout the project.
Throughout the entire process, the Big Dog Painting team was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about quality craftsmanship. They respected the historical character of our home while making it look absolutely stunning and ready for the next hundred years.
We highly recommend Big Dog Painting to anyone looking for expert carpentry and painting work—especially if you have a historic property that deserves to shine again!
