Williams Professional Painting

I cold called Williams Professional Painting while searching for painters for my new condo in DC to obtain a quote. I was able to promptly talk to Rick Williams on the phone and he was extremely responsive and reasonable. I told him I recently purchased a condo and wanted to repaint everything prior to moving in. He sent an estimator out to my condo. The estimator, Jose, showed up on time and was extremely courteous, even removed his shoes prior to entering my condo. He took measurements of the rooms and recommended different types of paints for the rooms. I discussed with Rick that I needed the job done in two days and he said it wouldn’t be a problem. His crew led by foreman Bryan arrived on time and was also extremely courteous and professional. Their #1 priority seems to be getting the job done correctly. Some of my paint colors were rather dark for accent walls and although my contract said 2 coats of paint, Bryan used 3 coats to ensure that the accent walls were painted properly.
Rick’s team kept their word and finished my project in 2 days, even though it required bringing in a few extra painters, they still did not lapse their deadline. In the end, I am glad I hired Williams Professional Painting and did not take on this task myself or hire hourly help to assist me to paint. I’ll be sure to recommend this company and the services of Rick and Bryan to all of my friends.

The process of getting the estimate all the way through completion of the job could not have been more seamless or easy. We just purchased a new construction condo and initially thought we could do the painting ourselves but decided to at least get an estimate from a professional. The owner of the company actually did our estimate and was kind enough to point out serious mistakes in the builders painting job (such as the builder did not sand the walls before applying paint so the paint was rough in several spots). The estimate to paint our entire first level, the stairwell and the upper level hallway was incredibly reasonable and quite surprising. So we hired Williams right away. We were able to schedule the job quickly and the painting was completed in two days. They did a perfect job. There is no better way to qualify the quality of the work. We are so happy that we decided to hire Williams Professional Painting and they will definitely have our business in the future.

Poor work. No spray cans needed for cabinets ect. Was told one price charged another.

I didn’t actually get any work done by Williams because my timeline would not work with the schedule but they actually sent me an email to let me know that they would have to decline the opportunity to work on my project. This is the first time I’ve ever received such a courtesy from contractors in the home improvement business, and I cannot express how wonderfully professional this is. I have had far too many experiences of contractors coming out to estimate, only to never contact me again, or to go through the trouble of sending me a quote and then never actually schedule the work.
While I did find someone who was able to do the work I requested in my short time frame, in the future, I will definitely contact Williams again for a bid. Just this email was enough to tell me about the company culture here, and I have great confidence in their professionalism.

Juan from Williams Professional Painting did an amazing job with the exterior of our home! We went through a renovation that included an addition and required the new brick of the addition to be painted to match the existing aged whitewash. It looks as though the whole house was constructed and painted at the same time — it is phenomenal. On top of the excellent execution of the work, Juan was kind enough to come over the weekend to finish the job. He was a pleasure to work with — kind, hard working and an all around great person — someone I will certainly be recommending to others and one who I will certainly be calling in the future!

Williams just finished a job painting beadboard and crown molding in my Mt. Vernon house — they did a beautiful job with some tricky surfaces and two toned bookcases. Adalberto and Jose were efficient and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Williams without reservation and plan to use them for future work.

One of the best contracting companies with which I have ever worked. WPP has done two different major jobs at our house and both have exceeded our expectations. Originally they completed interior painting with significant amount of wallboard repairs plus the addition of baseboards and trim. The quality was outstanding. We later asked WPP back for a larger project to paint the exterior trim of our house. This was major job that included the painstaking repair and cleaning of 75 year old windows and trim. Franklin, the lead on this project, worked tirelessly chipping, sanding, and repairing the wood for days before painting. Their work far exceeded our expectation of quality, especially considering the very reasonable price. We wanted to maintain the historical aspect of the home without replacing the windows (which every other company who quoted the job wanted to do). Instead, WPP understood the importance of maintaining the current windows while endeavoring to give them a nearly-​new look.
We would go back to WPP for all interior and exterior painting needs in the future and would ask for Franklin by name for any project. Highly recommend this company.

We had WPP come out and redo our bathroom, paint, install vanity etc They were prompt and highly competent. Their work was excellent and prices very competitive. We had Ricardo and Salas-Jaime…we would highly recommend.

Recently Williams Professional Painting completed the 4^th interior painting project in my home. The entire team from Rick providing the original estimate, Lisa guiding us through paint choices and painters Bryan and Dagoberto (D2) were professional, reliable, personable and thorough. Care was taken in each aspect. Everything looks so fresh. We are completely satisfied. As repeat customers, Williams Professional Painting will continue to be my ‘painter of choice’ and the only one I will recommend.

We had Williams PP back to paint a bedroom that had been treated roughly for over 10 years. Ricardo and his team were all that I expected from Williams PP: timely, professional, and courteous. The room is gorgeous! Thanks for another quality job done beautifully and efficiently.

Hi everyone,
I recently hired Williams to soundproof /​sound insulate two walls in my condo in downtown Washington DC. My crew foreman’s name was Christian.
Overall, they did a really nice job. My house was clean and put back together when they were done, the estimate was good, and they finished on time. Rick, the business owner was very attentive to my needs, and helped me get this project accomplished. Dice stars.
Some specifics:
1) The company has a lot of experience with soundproofing, and I really relied on that. No soundproofing job is perfect, but I think that they did a good job improving my living situation. The in person estimate by Rick was thorough, helpful, and honest.
2) Rick hires good people. My foreman Christian was on time, polite, and very professional. He really did a nice job with the fit and finish of the job, which included finishing paint. The crew was also very good. In general, these guys are pros.
3) The Williams team is available to talk to you. I spoke with Amy and a number of others who helped me out with billing and whatnot — which was pretty great. It was really nice having a team of people on the other end of the phone.
Overall, a great experience. The job was expensive, but seemed to be priced fairly given the cost of materials and labor to finish in the time required. YMMV, but I found the company to be a good value, given the level of craftsmanship and customer service.

Williams did a fantastic job painting my house. I hired them to paint pretty much my entire house before I moved in.
Milton (their estimator) came out to the house initially to give me an estimate. He was very professional and gave me information about the company, their licenses and warranties, and the paints that they use. I was able to schedule the work to start very soon after the estimate (which was fantastic, considering I had a pretty tight schedule).
Cristian (the painting team’s foreman) was wonderful. When we first met, we spent some time organizing all of the paints into which rooms they would apply to. He followed all of my instructions. He and his team did a wonderful job and were on time — the rooms look fantastic and the team left my house pretty darn clean. I really could not believe how early they all started!
Williams is a little pricey, but I think it is totally worth it for their professionalism and quality. I would highly recommend them.

I would highly recommend Williams Professional Painting. We got several quotes and Williams was the lowest by hundreds of dollars. We received the written quote the same day that Alvis visited our home to do the estimate, in contrast to other companies who sent a quote two days after visiting our home. The painters assigned to the job (Jose G. And Ricardo) we’re punctual, friendly, courteous, and highly skilled. They were meticulous in all aspects of the job from prep work to painting. They even caulked a crack in our gutter as a favor. Our deck has never looked better though it had been professionally finished before. In short, we are very pleased with the service we received from Williams. They were significantly better than other painters that we have hired in the past.

Williams Professional Painting has done every paint and drywall job I’ve needed in my 3 various homes since moving back to DC from Belgium in 2005. When I need paint or drywall work done, I don’t think twice about calling Rick Williams to schedule a job. Its one of the easiest parts of any renovation or touch up work I’ve done in any of my homes.
And now I can add soundproofing drywall work to the list of things that Williams Professional Painting has handled with its same excellent standards. Cristian and his team were consumate professional. Incredibly aware and respectful that they were working in a valued customers home, they were careful not to damage my newly installed hardwood floor while keeping their work area neat and clean through the 7 day project. And after they left, there was no major follow-​up clean up operation for me to undertake like I’m used to with other vendors. The place was so well cleaned by Cristian and team, there was literally nothing left for me to do after they left but put a few minor things back in their place.
As far as the workmanship, outstanding! For the work that went into the installation of the QuietRock sheetrock, the GreenGlue sound dampening compound and the QuietSeal caulk, you don’t notice a thing behind the expert drywall hanging, mudding, sanding, painting and trim reinstallation. All the work below the surface literally disappears beneath the great finish.
Oh, and one final note that definitely bears pointing out: the sanding! Or lack of it. I’ve never had such a large drywall project produce so little drywall dust. I think it was a testament to Cristian and team’s expert efficiency at their craft.
Outstanding work! My go to paint, drywall and now, residential soundproofing specialists!

We had Williams paint the interior of our home and were very pleased. Rick came over on a Saturday to walk through the home and to make sure he understood what we were looking for in each room (i.e. colors and finish). Once we had agreed on a price, he took it back to the office and was extremely responsive and helpful in getting two of his painters over to do the job on a tight time-​line.
The painters themselves were fantastic. They were professional and efficient, and we were very comfortable giving them access to our home when we weren’t around. They completed a pretty big job in only two days. When we noticed some small areas after they had finished that needed touching up, Rick was once again very responsive and had the painters come back later that same day to address our issues.
While we did get quotes from other companies that were lower than Williams’, in our view, you get what you pay for. Not only did we end up with a great paint job, but the experience dealing with Rick and his team was a very pleasant one. We highly recommend using Williams Professional Painting.

A guy named Alvis came out last week and promised to give an estimate for an exterior painting job. A week later no response. I guess they only do high margin or large jobs or see if you are sucker who will overpay then they will bid.

Dave and his team are as good as it gets, in my opinion. I have lived in my townhome for over 10 years and Williams PP consistently does the best work at a reasonable price. I have used them multiple times. They’re not always the least expensive or the most expensive. It has varied but they are consistent in their work. The employees are extremely respectful and professional. I highly recommend them.

After setting up an appointment a week ahead of time the painter did not show up for two hours. After calling for the third time he let me know he was still hanging out in the office doing paper work. He then let me know he would give me an estimate over the phone– sight unseen for almost $ 6,000 — he would only have to paint one bathroom and about 1800 square feet with 8 foot flat ceilings and no closets. Very basic, very simple work interior only on an empty house. I had already selected my colors and was ready to go. They will never get my business. Very unprofessional!

Williams did a great job painting all the interior rooms and adding crown molding in our new house. Dave was very responsive, meeting with us on a saturday for an estimate, only a day after I first contacted him. (Most other painters I contacted either returned calls several days later or not at all).
The painting team, led by Luis, was on-​time, efficient, clean and very accomodating.
I would highly recommend them.

We hired Williams Professional Painting to paint our foyer, stairwell, kitchen, and bathroom. Mr. Williams is an extremely nice guy and a straight shooter. The painters were always on time, which was hugely appreciated, and they did excellent work. We did have to have some touch ups done — one to some stripe work that was not done to design spec… and a another to fix a crooked stripe and repaint over where some flat white had gotten on our gloss white trim. Even though they had to come out to touch up a few mistakes, they were happy to do so and were very gracious. To me, customer service is truly demonstrated when a company is polite and friendly about fixing mistakes, so I was very happy with their service, overall. And, the paint looks fantastic!
Another perk — if you are interested in any design consultation, Carey Schuster is their in-​house interior decorator. She is an absolute gem! Young, fresh, full of energy and ideas, and understood exactly what we were trying to accomplish. We get so many compliments on the colors and detail work she designed for us. I have recommended her to several people, including my exacting parents. If you are stumped on colors, or want to try something dramatic or different, look no futher.
