Darling came recommended to us by neighbors. They came right out to give us a quote, and were very responsive when we wanted to move forward. We had three projects related to storm and water damage that Bill and his team handled them masterfully. They were always available for questions, could not have been more professional, and completed the work on-time. I would definitely use them again, and would recommend them to anyone who asked.

The gentleman who answered the phone was extremely rude and was not willing to let me finish my sentence before turning me down. I asked why he wasn't letting me speak and he replied with a poor response that was an assumption and not true. Don't waste your time calling these folks. I will never recommend this company.

Had Bill give me an estimate for wallpaper removal and paint. He came in at the lowest by a couple of hundred dollars. I was incredibly impressed by the job and how quickly it was doing, especially so because I had attempted to do the same for a smaller room. These guys are pros and worth every penny.

The crew definitely exceeded expectations! They were all very professional; took pride in the work they did, ensuring that the end result was completed to the satisfaction of the customer. Our house and garage look brand new and we've received many compliments on the workmanship. We have a few more outside painting projects for the crew to complete in the spring. I would definitely recommend Darling for your house projects.

I used darling paint to repaint my old aluminum siding. My experience from start to finish was flawless and so was the paint job. Bill was friendly and knowledgeable and did not try to oversell me the price was amazing! They were here within a week and his team of workers are professional and knowledgeable and we actually shared some laughs! I would highly recommend darling paint you will not be disappointed!

If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and high quality painting company look no further! Bill Darling and all his employees took great care of us and all the work was done in a timely manner. Bill was very understanding to our needs and also very helpful with choosing colors! The crew was very professional. They came in and did their work like it was their own home which meant a lot to us. I recommend Darling Paint hands down! They made my home dreams come true! Give them a try, you will not be disappointed!

I was screwed over by another company that came in and did a lousy job. Bill Darling came in and saved the day! I wish I would have hired them from the beginning! I will never have anyone other than Darling do work around my house. Each and every one of the workers that came were polite and clean and did amazing work! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We had cabinets painted, ceilings repaired and painted, backsplash tiling and they did it all in a very timely manner!

They finished painting the interior of our house and we are very satisfied! Price was a little bit higher but well worth it, no requests. If you hire them ask for Jason to paint. He's is very friendly, professional and does an outstanding job. We would recommend Darling Paint and hire them again when needed.

What an outstanding job Darling Paint provided in power washing and then painting our home. The well knowledgeable crew were super friendly, courteous, and exceeded our expectations in their skill painting. Darling Paint has a fine reputation in hiring the best qualified to meet customer satisfaction. which is why we selected them for this job. In my opinion as well as other positive reviews, you need not look any further for your painting needs.

My experience with Darling paint was one of the best customer service experiences I have experienced in a long time. From the moment I inquired about getting an estimate for a pretty big job inside my home to the very end I was very pleased. They came out within days, and did the job within days in a very time sensitive period. The workers were all very nice and did an exceptional job. I was also very happy with the price. I would definitely recommend them and I will be using them again in the future.

Bill Darling and his team are the best in the business. The lobby and interior walls at Channel 4 look brand new thanks to the pros at Darling - fast, efficient, done right and done on time. Thank you to Chris who managed it all on site. What more can you ask for? For my next paint project I'm calling Darling Paint. Thanks team!

We couldn't be happier with the work Darling Paint did in our kitchen and family room - the cabinets are beautiful, all the imperfections in the ceiling are gone, and they left us with no mess to clean up! They got back to me quickly anytime I had a question, and everyone was pleasant to talk to - you should definitely consider them for your next project.

Beautiful workmanship, done earlier than promised. Workers were polite, helpful, and professional. Owner Bill Darling the same. We felt we were in very good hands with this company. Excellent communication throughout. We had interior doors installed and painted throughout the house, a closet rebuilt to remove a moldy wall, and the closet and that bedroom painted.
They took care of little extras too on the spot, like painting a pantry shelf and painting an existing door so it would look as fresh and nice as the nearby new doors. Very happy and would recommend highly.

This was a poor experience. We hired Darling Paint to do some drywall finishing around a fireplace. At first glance it looked fine but as we started priming the wall it became obvious that it wasn't sanded well. It was lumpy and uneven, especially in the corners and even cracking towards the top. I called Bill Darling and asked him to please send someone to touch it up and he quickly became quite rude and disparaging. calling me "honey" in a patronizing way. Beware, this is another company out to do high volume at low quality and honestly. the guy is kind of a jerk.
A few hours after writing this review Bill Darling called me back for no reason other than to continue being disparaging and making blatantly sexist comments. It's shocking to me that someone who owns a business would conduct himself so unprofessionally. I see there is a review with the BBB describing a similar incident. If you are looking for drama-free quality work from decent, kind people you trust in your home, steer clear.

The paint quote was competitive, not our lowest or highest and I felt as though the knowledge and other reviews warranted a chance. Overall, I am happy with the finished product. There are some places with some drips, or where the trim wasn't done perfectly with the wall paint covering up more than an obvious amount but it wasn't everywhere, and we're all human doing manual work that won't be perfect -- just way better than what I could have done!
I had 1 or 2 miscommunications that we worked through and solved, so I'd just suggest that you make yourself available if you're going to undergo a job as I was a bit more distant from it due to travel - in the end it ended up lovely and I'm very happy with the colors and fixes they did with covering & patching along with the paint itself. Even the cabinets turned out wonderfully along with the walls & trim I had painted by them. They did a decent clean up job and seemed respectful to the property.

Ceilings look like paint was "sloshed" on, woodwork not sanded, but just painted over, paint drips in many areas on walls and woodwork, some areas "missed" and not painted. Sloppy and no satisfaction on why cracks were not addressed and fixed. My house was old, I was told. Would never recommend this company. Very expensive prices for very poor workmanship.

The work is satisfactory, unprofessional in conducting business. Make sure to state what is expected to be done on job, don't take for granted it will be done all inclusive - Everything must be spelled out what is to be done! This is not an all inclusive type of ordeal, you must know what needs to be done, all the extras OR you will be left on the ropes.
What should be done by this company is tell you, if I do this this and this you will have to have this this and this done also - I do not mind in paying additional money for extras that need to be done, just not surprised after that it is done, not complete! It is not like hiring your brother in law to do complete job. This is a la carte!

I was initially impressed with Darling's responsiveness in getting the job scheduled and done in a very timely manner. Unfortunately I was not able to be present for the work and had to trust them to do the job properly on their own. This turned out to be a mistake on my part. Upon inspection there were portions of the house that were not painted and needed considerable touch up and scraping.
They were responsive in getting back out to fix the problems, but added a few unprofessional excuses in the meantime. After further inspection about a month and a half later I noticed there were shutters that were not properly reinstalled (wrong size on wrong windows) and some peeling was taking place on the shutters and at the tops of some of the clapboard.
After talking with the company again the conversation turned south and became hostile. Despite their responsiveness, customer service skills and professionalism were very poor. On top of that, the workmanship did not meet professional standards and required a couple follow up visits to fix the issues. Needless to say, I would not recommend using this company for your exterior painting projects.

This company was responsible for painting shutters on my home about a year ago. After less than a year, the shutters are bubbling severly and I'm pretty sure the next step will be peeling. I contacted them and "the boss", without even coming to see the problem, said it's not his company's fault. He first said it must be bubbling do to me power-washing the house, which is a comical explanation (and I never power-washed my house mind you).
Then he changed his mind and said the shutters shouldn't have even been painted in the first place. He explained that shutters like that aren't meant to be painted (which I confirmed with other painting companies is completely false). So to sum up, I called Darling to report a problem with their work. Instead of standing by their work, they decided to blame the customer without even coming to inspect the problem. I've dealt with some sub-par companies before, but this sets a new bar.
I guess the customer is always wrong in their book. And this is how they do business - check out their response! Very professional, you want them doing work at your house? For your review of: DARLING PAINT Poor Matt, boo hoo hoo.
