Minneapolis Interior Painters

"From the moment I inquired about painting services to the completion of the job, it was a pleasure working with .  He was very flexible on timing and had great communication throughout the entire process.  I started emailing about painting options and he provided an extremely competitive quote ...more on the job.  Everything came in at what he initially quoted and the work he completed made our kitchen and bathroom look like a completely different space!  He did an amazing job, we are so pleased with the work

and crew did.  We will refer him to anyone that has painting needs and wouldn't use anyone else for our future painting projects.  Great company, great experience! "

" came out to provide an estimate and provided excellent advice on picking colors.  We had been looking for and couldn't find what we wanted, suggested looking at some different colors and they ended up being the ones we wanted.  Varsity did an amazing job prepping the rooms ...more to paint, and working with us as we still needed to be able to move through the painting area to get  to/from other parts of the house.  They also managed to prevent two cats from

up the whole project.  The project took 4 days and a clean up day which was appropriate for the scope.  The finished work looks amazing.  We have received numerous compliments on the change from wood trim to bright white and the colors for the walls as well. As for the price, I'm really cheap so that's the only reason I didn't give Varsity an A, but the price seemed reasonable and seeing the finished product makes it all worth it"

"It turned out really well. It looks beautiful.  They were so great to work with.  They were friendly professional, considerate of my dogs and dog sitter. They kept me updated on the progress via email."

"Framed wall and closet, sheetrocked, hardware for doors and moved lights and switches. Primed wood and sheetrock. All went according to agreement. Very satisfied."

"I can't say enough about and (husband and wife team owners of ). This was our first remodel and we were nervous given the horror stories about contractors from friends and family. We knew as soon as we met that we wanted to work with him if his proposal ...more came in as reasonable, which it did. At our first meeting, he was low key, easy to talk to, and honest. He was the only contractor we met who told us that he could not personally remove the asbestos tile which covered the entire remodel area since it was dangerous and he did not have a license to do so, but that he could find someone to do it who was licensed and expert in this field. The other contractors we interviewed either did not know what kind of tiles they were looking at, or just said they could "rip it up". The end result of the remodel was amazing. We could not be happier with our new basement. The entire process was smooth.

and

's communications to us were outstanding. At the beginning of the process, they asked us how we'd like to be communicated to about the project. Although we spoke to

every day to ask or answer a question or two, they sent us detailed project updates via email every week, as well as if they had larger questions requiring more detailed answers.

or one of his contractors was on our doorstep at 8AM every day and went right to work, and by 6PM when we arrived home, they were just packing up.

and his team cleaned up after themselves every day.

and

are extraordinarily conscientious. They would update us constantly and let us know if there were any minor issues that were being fixed.

came back several times to readjust a large medicine cabinet just to our liking. Although he is not an interior designer by any means, he would always give us good personal opinions when asked on wood finishes, door selection, layout, etc. The cost of the project was competitive. You might find some general contractors who will tell you that they can do it all for a slightly lower cost. I can't see how one person can be enough of an expert in all these areas - carpentry, electrical, plumbing, tiling - to do a really good job. We appreciated the fact that

brought in true experts in their field to do the job right. The painter was so thorough he went over his work every night with a flashlight. The night after the remodel was complete we had a minor issue with the plumbing which was corrected immediately the next day. But that night we called

and he was immediately on the phone with the plumber, who called us right away and was in the next day to fix the problem and follow up with us. The electricians were creative and flexible as we brainstormed with them about how and where we would put in new fixtures throughout the basement. As a result of the expert workmanship that

was able to bring in, everything was done well, and it shows. Another thing I'd like to point out is that

was more than fair with us when the inevitable surprises occurred. For example, we had selected very small glass tiles for our entire shower stall. We had no idea how challenging and tricky this type of tile is to install. After

and

, who are very experienced in tiling, discovered that they could not do the job perfectly for us to meet their very high standards, they brought in a senior expert to do that part of the work. I'm sure it cost them a pretty penny to do so, but the cost was not passed on to us. The work was exceptional. I found out later from a friend that she had installed the same tile in her shower and her "professional" was unable to install it straight and it ended up slightly wavy. Another point I'd like to make is that

and

passed along all their trade discounts to us, they did not "

up" the wholesale costs to make a profit on us. Their philosophy is that if they were not involved in going to the stores to select the tiles, fixtures, and carpeting, they would pass along their discount. At the end of the project,

and

gave us a gift basket and brought in a cleaning service. What a treat, though it should have been us giving them a gift.

and

care deeply about their business and it shows. They are highly conscientious, excellent listeners, flexible, patient, have a good sense of humor that carried us through the very few and minor but inevitable "hiccups" in the project, extremely responsive, and they care about the quality of what they are doing. They are highly professional and we trust them completely. We have since brought

back in this week to provide us with an estimate for some custom cabinets in our dining room. I highly recommend

and would use them for almost any other work."

"We had come over and give an estimate and he was very detailed about everything he saw on the walls and what exactly would need to be done. He was right on time and answered any questions I had as we talked. I decided to go with him and wanted him to paint when we were out of town. He came over and helped with colors before ...more we left. He was very patient and made great suggestions as he has been in the business a long time so was very helpful. He used a lock box and were very diligent about using it when coming and going to make sure my house was safe. I liked the fact that there was not a big crew I did not know coming into my house. When we came home just about everything was done so it worked out perfectly...and everything looks great!"

"Overall it went quite well. There were several small details that weren't done right the first time but was extremely responsive to every issue we brought up and had everything immediately fixed to our satisfaction for no extra charge. OTC's price was much more competitive than the other bids we received and we are very happy ...more with the end result. Workers were all polite and nice. Timeline was essentially as expected."

" was great. He worked a longer day than we expected him to (not bankers hours like some contractors). He got the project done before the completion date with very little disruption to our family. He even let out our new puppy out a few times a day to do his business, my wife and I work full time so this was a huge relief. The ...more first time we hired

from

was five years ago when we moved into our new home. We had an extremely ambitious schedule to get the house ready for Thanksgiving and he came through for us. He is very honest, his quotes are reasonable, and his work is impeccable."
