Sams Painting Reviews
1 out of 5 stars, based on 1 review

By Jaime E.

February 17, 2020

Exterior and interior trim paint

$10,000

Sam is a super nice guy who charges middle tier pricing but does horrible work. Each attempt to fix mistakes/ punch list items he and his crew only made things worse. Don’t use Sam. You can do LOTS better.

Why you should hire through BuildZoom

When it comes to major construction work or even minor alterations to your home, hiring the wrong contractor could result in incomplete or defective work. You may even find yourself dealing with huge liability claims. BuildZoom does the homework for you and helps you hire the right contractor.

You should get several bids before hiring a contractor

The standard board recommendation is to get at least three written bids before hiring a contractor. Do not automatically accept the lowest bid - an abnormally low bid may indicate the contractor made a mistake and is not including the same work quoted by their competitors. We've made the bid collection process extremely simple (and free). Just click here to get started.
