What our clients think about us

"I have had the privilege of working with Preferred Painting for over 10 years. Rob Cooney and his team are very responsive, whether it is to put together a bid for the following year’s budget, quickly completing a project before year end when the budgeted funds expire, or helping out with a TOBY entry. Preferred Painting figured out how to gain access to a hard to reach soffit that was above stairs that had not been painted since the 1980’s when the building was built – what an amazing difference when the work was completed! They stand by their work, and make sure that it is completed to your satisfaction. I look forward to working with Rob and his team for another 10+ years!
