Don Buckter Painting

I hired Don to do some gold-​leaf painting on the exterior of my home, as designed by a color consultant painter. The gold-​leaf painting mainly are accent touches to Victorian-​type moldings on various locations attached to my home. He followed the design precisely and the results turned out well. Don is very professional and provided good customer service by always keeping me informed of his progress. He was also particular regarding when he could perform the work based on the weather, since moisture or wind conditions could affect the results. The weather (as such) extended the time it took to complete the job. However, I would still recommend him to others who are interested in hiring an experienced and competent painter.

Miracle Worker Don! Don’s a *perfectionist* and a pleasure to work with. He has a sharp eye for textures & colors — don’t second-​guess his instinct; he’s right… — and is great for making recommendations. He talked me out of painting some surfaces (you don’t need to do *that*, just do *this*) and saved me a ton of money.
Don is a man of his word and he stands by his work. If he decides something needs one more coat here, or a touch up there, he puts in the extra time to do it, and won’t let me pay him more for it.
We’re renters, so we can’t do anything too exotic, but he’s my go-​to for small projects every few years, and he treats me like a VIP. When he retires, we’re screwed.

I was introduced to Don Buckter by his brother, Bob Buckter, Color Consultant. From start to finish, Don was very professional and did an excellent job. I would not hesitate to recommend him and I expect to be using him again in the near future.

I have used Don three different times over the past several years, the most recent being a few months ago and have found him very talented. Don is much more than just about slapping on paint, and cleaning up after. I find him knowledgeable, extremely conscientious and particularly skilled in addressing problems associated with painting/​prepping/​staining. He is a fountain of useful information and helpful with ideas and your options. I am planning to use him again for our biggest job yet, and have full confidence in the results I will be getting.

Don did a magnificent job painting the interior of our home after a major remodel of the kitchen (funny how remodeling one area makes the rest of the house look dated and shabby!?) After choosing colors with the assistance of his brother Bob Buckter (color consultant — also highly recommended) Don did the entire job himself. He is reliable, meticulous, responsible and very talented. We have a 20’s home with lots of architectural detailing; some rooms had three different colors on walls, woodwork, molding, etc. He did a magnificent job with everything. Don is also very creative and worked with us on some special details. We wanted subtle metallic glazed stripes on a wall of one bedroom and he measured, taped and glazed the stripes over the color beautifully. He also created a stencil to match the Deco tile in our bathroom then enlarged it to create and paint (by hand) a border around the wall below the ceiling molding. I cannot recommend Don enough and will definitely use his services again next time we paint. (My only regret is that he does not do exteriors).
