    Exterior Painting with Carpentry Work/Interior Painting

    I feel compelled to share my experience regarding Prorise Painting since it was Home Stars that lead me to consider using this company; The Home Stars high rating of this company, the membership with the BBB and the meeting with the owner, Joseph. Prorise Painting was contracted for the following: Job Start: Aug 7, 2012-Carpentry Work All Deficiencies resolved to date: Dec 7, 2012 Job Start: Sept 2012-Exterior Painting Quoted Job Length: 5-6 days with 3 to 4 painter Advised Jan 5, 2013: The caulked area of fascia board was painted but a review of painted area will be done Spring 2013. Advised Jan 15, 2013: New deficiency of all paint peeling off porch stairs to be dealt with Spring 2013 since re-painting is subject to weather. Job Start: Nov 6, 2012-Interior painting Quoted Job Length: one day with two painters All Deficiencies resolved Jan 5, 2013 Joseph’s method of operating is to complete the job as quickly as possible with the willingness to return to fix deficiencies instead of completing quality work the first time. However, this puts the onus on the homeowner to recognize any deficiencies to the job or to contract him if any deficiencies show up at a later date. Consequently, the superior workmanship of the job becomes questionable since deficiencies in the job must be directed by the customer. The partial painting of a metal gate was included in my interior painting job with a quoted job length of one day with two painters. Yet it took Nov 6, 2012 to Jan 5, 2013 and 5 visits to complete. The above is an example of Prorise Painting’s poor workmanship and poor attention to detail which caused unnecessary repetitive work (prep work completed twice, incorrect paint matte vs spray gloss and unpainted areas) and hence, work completion delays. This is only one example of the numerous deficiencies that often turned into continued deficiencies on my job. In addition, Prorise Painting pressure washing damaged a newly installed sensor light that required an electrician to correct. The electrician stated the water entered the unit had rusted the contacts. Currently, we have had 3 occasions of water leaking from our kitchen ceiling that may be caused by Prorise Painting since water entered the same area at the time they pressure washed our kitchen sky light. I would not refer any of my friends, family or co-workers at this time to Prorise Painting. Joseph’s business practice is a business decision which personally caused the whole process of home maintenance to be overly time consuming and stressful.I believe Prorise Painting could be more by developing a business model which provides the Superior workmanship and Exceptional Team Service Delivery.

    Hello Loraine, Thank you for your feedback, there were obstacles that we had to overcome with your project but we at ProRise Painting feel like we have done all you have requested. All of your request were meet and we made sure you were 100% satisfied after we last talked in November. All of your were concerns were resolved and dealt with in a professional manner. We at ProRise Painting warranty all our work and stand behind our promise. Whenever you contacted me I responded immediately to discuss your concerns. I responded to all your late night voice mails and text messages. We at Prorise Painting respond to all of our clients concerns. We always try to fully understand the situation and take appropriate action to resolve any issues. When your exterior painting project was complete you asked us to complete additional interior painting work in your basement. All of the work was completed to your satisfaction and all of your concerns were resolved. I have highlighted a summary of your concerns. Exterior Work Carpentry Work -All of the carpentry work was completed as promised to a high standard. After the carpentry work was complete you had a roofing issue that caused water to leak from the roof in behind the facia board causing the wood to be saturated. As a result the water caused the wood filler and caulking to crack. After the roofer fixed your roofing tiles I came by to re caulk and paint the cracked area. Due to temperature restrictions I mentioned I would come back in the spring to inspect the area and provide any additional work if needed. This additional work was done at no additional charge, you were ok with the situation and had no further concerns. Stairs -The exterior stairs were not part of our original contract, we painted the stairs at no additional charge. The steps had cracks in the wood which caused the wood to be saturated. Soon after you brought this to my attention I came by to asses the situation, provided you with an explanation and mentioned I would fix the issue in the spring when the weather improved. You agreed to the terms and had no further concern. Skylight Leak -After pressure washing you informed me there was a possibility of a water leak through your kitchen skylight. I responded immediately to asses the situation, there was a possibility the current caulking was failing, we re caulked some areas and monitored the area closely. After the exterior painting was finished your roofing contractor came by to asses the condition of your roofing tiles, he mentioned the water leak in your skylight was caused by damaged roofing tiles. He fixed the issue and there have been no further incidences. I followed up with you and you had no further concerns. Paints and Products We at ProRise Painting only use quality paints and products. All products used for your exterior and interior painting project were of the highest quality and were outlined in your original estimate package. After we last talked in November I made sure all your questions were answered and you were satisfied with all the work. After all the exterior and interior issues were resolved you provided me with final payment. I did mention I would come back in the spring to inspect all areas and repair any possible issues. Last time we talked In November you were ok with the end result and did not have have any further issues or concerns. We at Prorise Painting value your business and look forward in working with you again, I will be following up with you within the next couple days to make sure everything is ok. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me anytime. Best Regards, Joseph Halfar

    Interior painting

    Very impressed with this company that was referred to me by a friend. They are experienced professionals, affordable for the incredible quality they provide, and knowledgeable. The work was done in an efficient time frame, they cleaned up every day, and put all furniture back into place when they were finished, you couldn't even notice they were there! I would highly recommend Prorise Painting to anyone. I’m already thinking about getting my downstairs painted now based on how good our repainted upstairs looks. The preparation and quality these guys provide is by far so much more than I expected.

    Interior Painting

    I would definitely recommend Prorise Painting as they completed an interior painting project in my basement. Joseph made sure from the very beginning that I knew exactly what was going on the whole time and that I was always up to date on what was happening. The job was completed on schedule and did not go over my budget, which I am very grateful for, and the quality of work was definitely worth the price. The painters knowledge, work ethic and professionalism were at the highest level and any questions I had were answered without hesitation. This is the most professional company I’ve had to deal with in terms of any work in and around my house and I can’t say enough good things.

    Interior painting of heritage home

    We hired ProRise to paint our 100+ year old house from top to bottom before we moved in. The previous owners had smoked in the house so we needed someone who was experienced in dealing with nicotine residue. Joseph was so knowledgeable and inspired our trust right away. He made sure that all the walls were properly cleaned and sealed prior to painting and they did such a thorough job sanding and prepping every surface including fully protecting the floors, windows etc. The painters did an excellent job on our walls, ceilings, doors and all of the trim - we were so pleased with the results. Joseph was in touch with us the entire time, updating on the progess. We ended up being a bit pressed for time and Joseph brought in more painters to finish the job ahead of schedule. ProRise came in a bit higher price-wise than the other companies that we had received quotes from but we went with our gut feeling and we were not disappointed! Joseph and his team were a pleasure to have working in our home and we would definitely hire them again.

    Loft Ceiling Painted

    I was very impressed with the customer service I got with Prorise and the quality of work they produced. Joseph and team were able to inspect my unit and offer expert advice on how to create the look I wanted. The team was responsive, able to meet my timelines and do the work for a reasonable cost. They also came back once the work was complete for a final inspection and touch-ups.

    Condo Re-Painting

    I found Prorise painters through Homestars.com after receiving a detailed estimate and a fair price I decided to go with them. I had my kitchen and bathrooms repainted for my condo in downtown Vancouver a few months ago and they were reliable and provided great quality work at an excellent price. They provided many options and suggestions so that we were able to choose what we wanted easily. All three painters were respectful, courteous and very hard working. They were extremely helpful from start to finish, they were even great to accommodate us when issues came up unexpectedly and not in the original agreement. Without question, money well spent!

    Interior Painting

    I usually do my home painting work myself but I decided for a change I’ll hire someone else to get it done. That was the best decision I made in a long time. No matter how well I thought I did something there was always a small mistake here or there. The difference between myself and a professional company became obvious pretty quickly. The biggest thing is that Prorise did the job so much faster without making absolutely any mistakes, and I looked over all our walls very carefully. I’m relatively experienced with paint work myself, and from their work the only thing I can conclude is that they have ton of experience. I’d definitely recommended Joseph and his team and I would hire them for any of my painting needs.
