House Painting

[jrref]

I know this has been discussed but has anyone used Steve Kling to paint the outside of your house. Any experiences?

[village dreamer]

he is one of the best.

he is one of the best.
debatable. Does nice job, but read warranty. Not really much.

[Sensei]

Delighted with his entire operation.

Steve Kling did a superb job inside-and outside as well. He is professional, meticulous, neat, and we could not be more pleased.

[raynan]

Very happy with Steve Kling whose company painted the outside of our house.

We used James Rockholt-Rockey-603 391 6658. He is a villager. Pleasant to deal with.
Good price. Came on time. He and his crew were great and did a great job. A HAPPY CUSTOMER.

Does he paint seal garage floors?

Neighbors on both sides used Steve Kline, very nice results, no idea about the comment on the warranty, as I recall, after Sherwin Williams inspects the paint, you are covered for 20 years or more.

Does anyone know if these house painters do one or two top coats?

Mine will put a special primer then one top coat. He guarantees 100% coverage. I'm staying with the same color so i believe this should be fine. I would think two coats is better than one but it might not be necessary with these newer exterior house paints.

We got and paid for two coats. The painter himself said it is not necessary. It is interesting he used Sherwin Williams. The paint color changes as it dries so easy for the painter to see as the second coat is applied.

As a follow-up to my original post, I had Steve Kling paint the exterior of my house here in the Villages and want to report back on my experience. After meeting with Steve and agreeing to do the job I spoke to Michelle to review the job and the contract and she was very polite and knowledgeable. A couple days before the painting was to be done the powerwash guy did his work and it was fine. He did a nice job and also pulled the rocks away from the fountation. Yesterday, on-time, a crew of 3 painters came. I'm very fussy so it's not easy to please me but they were very efficient and did an excellet job. No mess, no paint drops anywhere and they cleaned up perfectly. The painting crew explained the process before doing any work and answered all my questions. They even spray painted my front door. During the day Michelle called me to make sure everything was going well. After about 12 hours the painting was complete. They used all Sherwin Williams products, Lexon primer and Duration top coat. When they finished painting, even though it was very late inthe day they did a walk around the house to make sure i was satisified.
They did one coat of primer, one coat of body color and two coats of trim color. We stayed with the same colors. The paint really does go on thick so one coat seemed sufficient. Today the Sherwin Williams inspector came to check the work. He looked everywhere they painted to make sure no spots were missed and it was done correctly. He then reviewed the warrenty and paint care and sent me a copy of everything via e-mail. After that, Sean from Steve Kling painting came with my re-painted front garage and doorway lights and installed them. He also sprayed the light pole in front of my house and put new front door weather striping and door sweep on. Then he went around the house to double check that no spots were missed and that everything was done correctly. At the end of the day i couldn't be more satisified and i couldn't believe how easy this was to get done. The follow-up in my opinion was above and beyond what i expected. For the amount of work and the quality of the work i feel the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Steve Kling painting.

Steve Kling Painting is one of, if not THE BEST in the area. Do note that there is a competing company just called Kling Painting. I think they are brothers and NOT affiliated in business.

[dblwyr]

I agree with the accolades for Steve Kling Painting.he has done the outside—and inside. He is the only painter I will use. Excellent in every way.

[Ecuadog]

As a follow-up ...
I highly recommend Steve Kling painting.

Thank you for thoughtful and extensive review.

Jim Rockholt (Rocky) is outstanding, and he lives in The Villages. Great price, great crew, great work. Power washes house the day before and exceptional cleanup. Just painted the outside of our house and is painting a next-door neighbor's house next week. Also does interior painting. Highly recommend

Exactly our experience. What I appreciated was the ability to have a color selection meeting with Steve. He has an eye for color. There was no way I wanted the color The Villages originally painted my house. I knew where I wanted to go regarding color, but did not know how to achieve it. But he did. My garage doors are one shade darker than my house, and the front door color is an accent color to them both. Its a wow! All banding on house neutral. We are thrilled with the color! Btw Steve King painting was less than a reputable competitor.

You can get some one else to paint with same paint he uses for half the price. Kinda hard to work with him. Told us Villiages own 1/2 the business then they didn’t, not sure what to believe, good luck!

Does he get approval for changing color? I really want to change the color of my home.

He selects from the approved color charts per Michelle at the office. She manages everything. 50 shades of beige/greyge that is used by TV was not for me. My colors are soft pastel blue greens.

I love this company, have used them for years. Perkins painting 352-504-1058

Good review.

Does anyone have house addresses of the ones painted? Thank You.

[Sensei]

Does anyone have house addresses of the ones painted? Thank You. Mr. Kling painted three of the six houses on Viceroy Ct. in the Village of Collier. It's easy to see which three.

I really doubt this. Steve's people have a process and it's a lot of work and again i thought the price was very reasonable for the amount of work they did. I'm very fussy and ask a lot of questions and i had no problem working with his team.

You need to be careful because cheaper painters may not use the Loxon primer which is very necessary.

I sent you a PM with my address.
