If you have longed for the "good old days" when people you hired to work in your home were people of integrity, honesty, knowledge, and skill-who took pride in their work and a job well done and believed in customer satisfaction above all-then Robert Durand should be on the top of your call list. For 15 years or more Robert has painted, papered, repaired walls, and even done small, related carpentry jobs to enhance the final product in my home. He not only applies paint and paper, he KNOWS paint and paper. Robert also understands that in his profession, prep work is the key to a beautiful finish. No skimping, no shortcuts, no mess left at the end of each day-just quality service and a quality outcome-all for a fair price.

I just want to say thank you and tell you how much I absolutely love my new bathroom.I thought I was going to have to totally gut the entire room to achieve the look I wanted, but that was not the case at all. Removing the wallpaper - which you most likely put up many years ago - and painting the walls in the wide striping was amazing. The colors are perfect, the stripes are exactly even and the bathroom looks completely different. And even though your crew also did my hallways, trim and doors, they left my house neat and clean every day. It didn't look like anyone had been working there at the end of the day. If anyone ever wants to see any of your work, especially painting in stripes, please feel free to call me. I'd be happy to show them. Seriously, the old wallpaper made me want to close the door, but now I walk by and turn on the light to look at it and it makes me smile. I can't wait to do the next one - start thinking of colors!

Hopefully talk to you soon -

Robert recently completed papering my kitchen and bath. I couldn't be more pleased...the workmanship is wonderful and he had some great suggestions along the way. The rooms feel transformed. I hope to do some painting in the next year or so and will call Robert as he's shown he is truly a professional. I will also recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

Thank you, Robert!

We are absolutely thrilled with your work inside and out on our new (to us) home. You have completely transformed our entire house while maintaining the historical accuracy of our 1932 home. The detailed trim work, especially around our beautiful original windows, is most impressive. It is a delight to walk down the street toward our house and just to admire that this is in fact our home.

Most importantly, you were wonderful to work with. You were always available via phone or email to offer information and even guidance on tough decisions regarding colors and trim work. Every member of your staff was polite, courteous and professional. Each time we modified or added to the plan, you responded immediately and positively to our evolving ideas. As to the inside, our original intent, as you know, was to have you paint only one room. After seeing the work that you completed, we had you paint more than half our house inside with more to come! We also appreciated your work on the screened-in porch, which included taking down an old ceiling fan and installing the new one, including the new switch.

Thank you also for your suggestion to strip our painted brick fireplace in order to restore it to the original. That small detail worked a total transformation in our living room. Similarly, you noticed that our deck could be integrated better into the house by being sanded and painted (for a very affordable price). This has made a world of difference in ensuring a good flow between the outside and inside spaces.

Our favorite thing, however, was probably that even though the job was already completed, you returned a few days later to personally hang our new front lights that had arrived late from the manufacturer. That type of attention to detail and pride in your finished product is rare these days. We have recommended you, and will continue to recommend you, to everyone looking for a reliable, professional, fair-priced, high-quality painter. Thank you!

P.S. Please feel free to share a picture of our house on your website.

My wife and I want to thank you and your crew for the fantastic job you did painting the interior of our newly purchased house. The home is 50+ years old and you have transformed the old and worn surfaces into a brand new home. We had some basic ideas of what we wanted to do and you helped us figure it out. It was clear from the start that your goal was to get the best finished product. We changed paint colors along the way, electricians put holes in finished walls and ceilings, wood floor refinishing blocked you out, but you always accommodated the situation. We have no hesitation in recommending you to others. You were a pleasure to work with and you exceeded all of our lofty expectations. When the time comes, we hope to see you again for some exterior work

All the best.
