Design, Remodel & Painting with Purpose — Local services in Georgetown

I would like to add a 2022 Interior Painting review, four years after my first review:

This is the second time that Painting with Purpose transformed my home. In 2018 they painted the entire exterior of my house. (See review below). This time I needed my oldest's child's room to become my new guest room. The room was painted two shades of blue 14 years ago.

Aaron replied in under 5 minutes after I texted him, and I spoke with Beto, the painter, not long after. Beto came out to the house the next day to look everything over, and then he and Jose were at my door at 8:30 the next morning. It only took a day and a half to finish the job, so by Thursday around lunch time I had a whole new room. I love it!

Let me tell you about painting over two different colors of paint. Aaron explained this to me in a text :

"When you tape a line over walls there's a different paint level from one color to the next and painting over that line doesn't make the line go away. Paint mimics what's underneath it. Usually that paint line difference needs to be floated with mud and then blended with new texture. That's my experience 90% of the time."

I tested that theory by painting primer over the line that evening, and darned if you couldn't still see that little ridge of paint where the two colors meet. Even if the whole room were repainted, I could see how that line would still be visible. So, I told him to go ahead and make it right, as I wanted to finally have a well-painted room.

Beto and Jose were very careful protecting my carpet and wrapping my ceiling fan in a plastic drop cloth. They painted the ceilings in both the room and the closet and primed the walls two times, including the lower half of the room a THIRD time to hide that dark blue. All of the trim was previously painted with oil-based paint. It had to be sanded, primed, and then painted with water-based enamel. This included the inside and outside of both doors, including the trim. Afterwards, they caulked the baseboards, door trim, window and window sill for me - and that makes the whole room look much better.

I am so grateful to Aaron, Beto and Jose for the outstanding job they did. I highly recommend Painting with Purpose if you are looking for a company that you can trust to do a professional job in your home. Thanks guys!

2014 Review: (Exterior House Painting)

I love my house again! I had the exterior of my house painted by Painting with Purpose, and I can wholeheartedly recommend them. (2,400 sq ft, 1-story, 3-sides brick)

Aaron's estimate was very thorough. He went through everything that needed to be repaired and how to prevent future rotten wood. Once I got on his schedule I felt like I was his only customer. Scott came out to replace a rotten door jamb on my side yard door and one entire row of siding on the back of the house. He also installed rain diverters on the roof over that side door and the air conditioning unit, since I don't have gutters. Casey power-washed my ENTIRE home, plus the concrete sidewalk, patio, and driveway. Let me tell you, it was worth the relatively small additional cost to have EVERYTHING clean on my 41-yr old house. Debbie, Tom and Casey came to do all the painting, with two colors, and it only took two days. They covered everything and got no over-spray on my bricks. That was very important to me. They asked me to come do a walk-through as they were finishing, to make sure that I was 100% satisfied. After a couple of very minor touch-ups (I'm VERY detail-oriented), I was!

Aaron even arranged for me to have a length of gutter installed over my French doors in the back to avoid future rotten wood. I now have a lovely rain chain that I really love. If you are looking for a top-notch, very professional, very knowledgeable company, look no further. The fact that Aaron donates a portion of the cost to a charity for children is just plain nice. He's a decent and fair human being. Thank...

We, (my wife and I) recently decided to remodel our kitchen and chose PWP to do the work. Aaron, Carl and their team of experts helped us turn our design into a reality. We needed a complete over-haul incorporating the kitchen with the dining room. They reconfigured walls, moved the sink, installed a new window and new door. They replaced the cabinets and installed a beautiful quartz countertop and backsplash. We ended up having them resurface and paint the living room walls since the kitchen walls looked so good (we went from textured to flat). There were carpenters, plumbers, electricians, an amazing sheetrock team and other specialists that helped with everything. All of the professionals that did work, did everything according to code and I’m happy with the end result and quality of work inside and out.

Communication throughout the entire process was always constant (we had a text thread going that we could reply to anytime). They planned out the order of work and explained everything I wanted to know more about. They helped refine our design and were open to suggestions to help me make better decisions and get the results I wanted.

I’m happy with how everything turned out and I would definitely use them again or recommend them to anyone looking to update...

We can’t say enough nice things about Aaron and Painting With Purpose. Our experience with Aaron and his team was exactly what you’d hope for when doing a big home improvement project. The estimate for the job was reasonable and accurate. Our house needed many exterior repairs before we could paint, including replacing our patio doors. Aaron was honest, communicated clearly throughout the work, and his team went above and beyond when extra pieces of work were revealed during the execution of our project. After the job was bid, Aaron determined that a higher quality of paint would be required due to the nature and aging of the existing paint. He made that upgrade to the paint, but kept to his original price. When his team noticed how damaged our interior floors were from the leaky back door, they asked if we had any pieces of the original hardwood flooring. We did, and they replaced several pieces that were severely damaged at no extra cost. This should tell you everything you need to know about Painting With Purpose, Aaron and his team. They even painted our outside rocking chairs with some of the extra paint and now they are as good as new. Do yourself a favor and make sure you let Aaron Caldwell and his team do your next big home...
