By Stephen
Overall an excellent experience. The quality of the work was great, it was done on time and as promised, and the followup to questions/concerns was quick. My only other comment would be to have more communication between the manager of the job and the client on a daily basis as to what work was going to be done and the progress of the overall project.
By Carlie
Wonderful experience from start to finish.

I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with Scholar Painting and your employees.  We contracted to have our home power-wash, outside windows washed, and also to have our gutters cleaned.  Sam, your salesperson, provided a reasonable quote for these services and was able to schedule the job quickly.  The technician, Manny, who performed the job, was very thorough and the results were great.  Everyone we dealt with was very courteous, prompt, and professional.  It's very apparent that customer satisfaction is Scholar Painting's goal, and we will not hesitate to recommend your company in the future.  Thanks for a job well-done!

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the work Scholar Painting performed on the interior of my house. Both Mike and Will were courteous and professional throughout the two days.  I have two school-aged children and since it wasn't the time of year where we could spend time outside, it was important to me that job was completed as quickly as possible while maintaining a high quality job. You achieved both of my goals.     Also, I loved your suggestion of using an environmentally friendly paint. There was hardly a trace of paint odor! It was an easy choice to make, especially since one of my children suffers from asthma and allergies. Going forward, I wouldn't use any other type of paint. I was impressed with your customer service from the time of the estimate to the follow up after the work was completed. Thanks again!Laura GormanMembership Director & Business Showcase Program Administratorgot chamber?get involved. get results. www.greatervalleychamber.com Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce900 Bridgeport Avenue, Shelton, CT 06484Phone: 203.925.4981Fax: 203.925.4984

August 17th, 2007 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing in reference to the house painting job done by Sam Kaplowitz.  Sam and his crew were prompt, courteous and did an outstanding job.  There were no surprises and Sam was in constant communication with me to keep me informed of the status of the project. I have received numerous compliments from neighbors and others on the paint job; it's like having a new house! Thank you, Sam!  I would recommend his work again without hesitation.

This letter is written as a reference for the quality of work of the crew known as SCHOLAR PAINTING and especially for the owner, Sam Kaplowitz.  The SCHOLAR PAINTING crew has been especially conscientious, careful and neat when painting the interior of my house.  They have been sensitive to our family's work schedule and painted when it worked for us. The quality of the paint job has been professional and the crew has been exceptionally responsive to any questions or concerns that I have had regarding the completion of the job or any follow-up.  Sam Kaplowitz has been remarkably polite and thorough in his explanations of the painting process so I never had to wonder if the job was going to been done correctly. SCHOLAR PAINTING offered fair prices and gave free estimates so I always knew what to expect.  And, as with many home improvement jobs, Sam's crew was flexible and able to make changes in the work as new decisions were made and additional ideas were floated about to enhance the on-going improvements.  Sam maintained a professional demeanor at all time, as did his staff, even when working on weekends. Sam Kaplowitz and SCHOLAR PAINTING really did a very good job for us and our home shows it  Thanks go to Sam and SCHOLAR PAINTING. Sincerely, Candace Ward-McKinlay Cheshire, CT 06410

    Smith Street Barn Restoration in Norwalk, Connecticut

    After Hurricane Sandy, this barn on Smith Street in Norwalk, CT was in terrible condition. It was completely unusable and near falling apart. After time and effort were put in, though, it was a great success.

    We used Benjamin Moore stain to give the barn a classic style in traditional barn red. The structure itself needed serious repair to ensure that it would stand. We also used GAF Timberline shingles to repair and replace the damaged roof, ensuring leak-free protection for years to come.

    The Norwalk Historical Society was thrilled with the finished project, and we were happy to provide! The skilled experts at [company] can handle historic restoration projects of any shape and size, always showing these structures the care and attention they deserve.
