I see all these glowing reviews from satisfied clients, but I have a bit of a different positive review to leave here. I’m not a client, I’m up in Ottawa, Ontario, where I’ve been researching best ways to get rid of lead paint from the pine floors that I want to expose in my newly purchased circa 1900 home. I’m not a reno pro, but I’m very experienced and capable in woodworking, have refinished floors in the past, etc, just not experienced with safest/proper tools and procedure for lead abatement. The SFW website kept coming up in my searches with all their great info and videos featuring their manager Jay showing some of their process and tools. After researching their tools further, I purchased the same Festool sander and Dust Extraction system. I took a shot in the dark to call them up in Portland and see if they might be able to answer some questions I had. Everyone I spoke to at the SFW office was so helpful and accommodating, passing me on to the right department until Jay called me back for a chat, giving lots of great advice and answering all my questions. He didn’t have to do that, I’m not anybody to them all the way up in Ottawa. But Jay and everyone are clearly very passionate about old home restoration and super experienced and knowledgeable about lead abatement, they really seem to be industry leaders. Plus the fact that they would take the time to help me out just speaks to their professionalism and good nature. I wish we had an SFW in Ottawa, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them to get the lead out of my house instead of doing it myself. But getting some great advice from 4000km away was the next best thing. Thanks again guys!

I chose SFW Painting because SFW Construction (see my review on their Google page) replaced the eeeeentire south wall of my house and re-sided it, added insulation, and replaced all of the fascia/trimwork on that wall. That was amazing, professional, on budget, efficient = 5 stars to SFW Construction, thank you. SFW Painting, project managed by Jay, who oversaw this whole deal from start to finish, was equally as amazing. Even as small hiccups came to light, Jay made it right (for example, there was a day where the paint prep crew didn't make as much progress as anticipated. What did Jay/SFW do? They didn't charge us a dime for that day. They also sent us a different crew that next week. Wow. Talk about making it right!) The pictures speak for themselves, it was a huuuge amount of work and it was so professionally done. For paint preppers, ask for Stephen. For the paint crew, ASK FOR LEO! There was so much detail to my 1890s Victorian that Leo was sooo detailed-oriented to do. I credit all of this to Jay for not only coordinating all this work/crews, but staying on budget, making it right if something was a little off (life is inevitable in that way), and being just the most pleasant and professional person to be around. I honestly say to my husband, I can't believe we LIVE here, it's so beautiful. Jay is our go-to guy. Thank you for taking care of us and our home!

We used SFW to paint our house in 2021. We used them to redo the siding as well (Greg and crew are phenomenal! - on time, on budget, great work). The painting part of the project had some delays and setbacks (mostly due to COVID), and Jay and crew were communicative and did great even when short on workers. We also had a specific vision for our house and Jay listened to our needs and provided great design advice. Jay’s experience and recommendations helped in making our house more beautiful than we could have imagined. My only complaint is that we pointed out some minor issues during our final inspection with Jay and we were assured it would be taken care of. Sadly, it took a year and multiple calls to get those items resolved. Only when Justin stepped in were our voices heard and the items fixed. I wish that part of the experience had been handled better, but Justin has been great and if it weren’t for him I would have reduced my rating. The experience started off great, turned a little sour, and then Justin turned it around. Overall we are incredibly happy with how beautiful our house is. We get TONS of compliments.

SFW Painting did a great job on our exterior paint job. The were able to do lots of much needed repair and prep on our old house before painting began and they took care with lead safety precautions, our plants, and checking in about the cost of the prep work. There has been no bubbling or peeling. They were quick to come to a couple of touch ups needed. This was not the least expensive bid we got, but it was worth it. The paint job looks very professional, fresh, and we think it will protect our house and last a long time!

As the President of my HOA I had the pleasure to contract with the SFW painting team and am very pleased with the quality of their work, their professionalism and their cost effective results. I highly recommend working with Jay and his SFW colleagues. We had a complex exterior painting job that they managed well.

Recently completed interior painting by SFW Painting. Great experience, from initial contact through to final invoice payment. The painters (Wendy and Max) were careful, considerate, thorough, and professional. The estimate and work in progress accounting was fair, transparent, and responsive. Highly recommended.

Both the prep work the final painting met our expectations. The cleanup after the paint prep/removal was spotless as was the cleanup after the painting was completed. The painting of the trim work was done especially well. I would highly recommend SFW for any paint project.

All-around outstanding work. Excellent follow-through and closure (and we have a couple of REAL fussy unit owners). The crews were all very nice people, and they were meticulous with cleanup each day. We're going to have them do our interior, as well

Greg and team did a great job of managing the project. Work was done in a timely and efficient manner and communications were clear and professional. Any follow up items were quickly addressed and I am very pleased with the work that was done.

They did a beautiful job painting our home. Jay and his crew were very communicative and committed to helping us get the result we want. We’ve gotten so many compliments from neighbors and friends and family. Highly recommend.

Jay and crew were outstanding!!! Not only were they f&@$(ing fantastic to work with, the quality was top notch. Will not hesitate to call them again!

Jay and company were prompt, professional and ahead of schedule! They responded to our requests and we are very happy with the finished product!

Beautiful exterior painting work on upstairs siding, door framing, and wood railings on balcony! Done expertly in a timely fashion!

Jay and crew did an excellent job with our exterior painting after we replaced siding. I would recommend SFW in general anytime.

Contractors were on time and professional. Our exterior paint project turned out well. Happy to recommend them.

Jay and his team were awesome. House looks amazing. Bravo
