Customer Reviews
Eric Busiek
We wanted a company to do a fairly large painting and skim coating job before we moved in to our new home from out of state. Katie provided us with a quote almost instantly and after talking with her, we knew that she and her team were up to the task. Not only did she expertly handle all the long-distance communication with us, the team of painters did awesome work - thank you, Casey and Angel!
Samantha Fischer
Price was by far the best out of all estimates received. Katie is a clear and easy communicator. Marlin and Angel were very kind, quick and comprehensive with the work. They were safe during prep and diligent with painting. I'm impressed with the coverage. This is a happy 1890 house restored.
Owen Phillips
When Katie came out to survey our old home that hadn't seen exterior love in at least two decades, I was nervous we were in for the worst news (replacing a good portion of siding). Katie was thorough to point out problem areas, but overall said she was confident the current state was manageable and her team could make everything look spiffy and maintain integrity for years to come.
WOW! They delivered. Casey and his hands did a spectacular jobs of making sure even the smallest details were buttoned up, going the extra mile when they discovered small issues like a loose vent or chipped cedar shake.
The crew was respectful and offered lots of insight in how to continue caring for our old home.
Our new paint job looks incredible and I feel confident moving into the rainy season that our house is protected from the elements and whatever nature has to throw at it. And it looks gorgeous.
A++++ to the whole Flying Colors crew.

Carolina Johnson
I absolutely loved working with Flying Colors they did an amazing job on our home. I asked for the butter trim to be painted white and the crew was so professional. The project took a total of 5 days and every day the crew would let me know when they arrived and when they left. I'm really thankful for this company and look forward to working with them in the future. Highly, highly recommend.
