“Tom did an outstanding job and was so helpful and knowledgeable with my painting project! He communicated every step of the way and my room and kitchen look excellent !!!! Thank you so much Tom for helping me and doing an amazing job!!! Highly highly recommend you !!!!”

“Tom was a pleasure to be in our home and did an amazing job! We asked for a large amount of work to be done with moving timelines and he was creative and kept us informed every step of the way. He is much more than an excellent painter and true professional of his craft. The paint quality and craftsmanship is far above any of the large get it done quickly companies we have used in the past. Tom tackled new tops on our vanities and also painted them the correct way to restore them to brand new!! He corrected our last painters errors using improper products in several places in our home as well. Tom is a straight forward honest guy that wants you to be 1000% satisfied with his work. If you stick around and watch he is happy to show you a thing or 2 along the way. Tom has gained another lifetime customer with his all around true knowledge of his craft. Honestly there are not many all around trustworthy contractors out there anymore. We liked Tom being a one man show and having coffee with us in the morning before he amazed us everyday with the final product he produced. I highly recommend Tom to anyone that appreciates the correct way to do a job. Thank you Tom and we will see you soo”

“I was very pleased with Tom's work! He is honest and hard working and really helped me when I had a tight deadline on painting. Tom has done many projects for me and has never let me down. Once I saw the quality of his work, I wanted him to do more projects. Now I call him for most everything. Very friendly and knowledgeable and takes the time to discuss the job and explain the process. I have and will continue to recommend Tom's Home Repair and Painting!”

“I called Tom last minute Sat morning to do a job that weekend because the other people we called cancelled last minute. Tom was happy to take the job and brought himself and another person to quickly get working. He promptly showed up to do the estimate, gave me some numbers and times and then was flexible to adjust as needed. Needlessly to say the end product turned out fantastic. I got a great painting job done within 2 days. He was able to get me a discount at the paint store and then worked straight through to finish everything. Happy to hire him again for other things!”

“Tom arrived on time, we purchased the paint and he completed the job that same day. It is always difficult to match existing colors, but Tom was able to work with the paint store in getting a fantastic match. Tom’s son works with him so they can complete the job effectively. Lastly, Tom pays close attention to detail and is a very neat painter. Give him a shout!!”

“Very impressed with Tom & Joe! They provide quality work, and I strongly recommend hiring Tom if you're seeking a professional painter or repair man to fix problems around your home! Initially, we hired a different crew that didn't have a good attention to detail and we fired them after day #2. So, we hired Tom (hoping that he would meet our expectations and do a better job than the first crew we hired). In the end, he exceeded our expectations. He is experienced--AND IT SHOWS. He knew exactly what needed to happen--and that only comes from experience. He prepped the walls, applied caulking where it was needed, patched problem areas, re-textured the walls in our kitchen, etc. He also helped to repair miscellaneous problems from our inspection report. He knew what he was doing, had all the necessary tools, and fixed the issues in a permanent way rather than a quick fix. Throughout the project, we enjoyed getting to know them a little bit. They're great guys. We very much appreciate the quality work! Honest and leaves you and your home happy!”

“Tom did a great job building a wall to enclose a second floor game room that was open to the living room. He did a fantastic job matching the texture to the surrounding walls, it looks like the wall was always there. He was flexible with his time and was able to continue working longer than expected when we asked him to paint the two-story ceiling which wasn't part of the original plan. He's very easy to work with and quality of work was excellent, wouldn't hesitate to hire again.”

“Tom did a great job of painting our living room and was really helpful in general. He gave my mom suggestions on how to make the paint job look good, gave me and my brother lots of tips on how to paint our own rooms when we told him we were going to, and even let us use some of his supplies! He is a really nice guy and even got my dog to like him.”

“Tom did a terrific job for us - he was prompt, professional, and very thorough. His prices are extremely reasonable. We needed to have a wooden patio arbor/roof removed after it collapsed following spring storms. After contacting many fence/deck companies who either didn't return my phone calls or told me they couldn't even come out for 4-6 weeks, I reached out to Tom. He came out the next day to assess the damage and completed the work quickly and efficiently. He also finished under budget. Based on our experience, I recommend him highly!”

“Tom did a beautiful job on our kitchen cabinets. After another contractor left abruptly in the middle of our project, Tom came out the very next day. This wasn't an easy task since he had to first fix the issues that had been left for him. He took cabinets that were in bad shape and made them look brand new. He's very punctual and a great communicator. We quickly realized when he said he'd be there, he would be, something that is far too rare. We will absolutely ask him to work with us again. Thank you!”

“Tom and his son Joe did a great job painting a bedroom, media room, and other touch-ups. They were quick, neat, and reasonably priced. Tom made some recommendations in the media room that turned out amazing. We were very pleased and Tom is now our "go-to" painter.”

“Tom's Home Repair and Painting is a great place to start when you want to update your home. Good bye wallpaper, hello beautiful texture and lovely paint. I only hired him for one job, but after seeing the quality of his work...well it turned into several. I appreciate his professionalism and attention to detail. It costs less than you think and he can give you an estimate.”

“Tom was recommended to us by a realtor friend. He painted several rooms, including a two-story entryway. He also textured two of the rooms. In addition, he made some repairs and installed a new light fixture as well as some weather stripping on the front and back doors. He advised us on some cost-cutting measures to help stay within our budget without compromising quality. We found Tom to be very knowledgeable and professional and would definitely use him again!”

“Tom is salt of the earth and top shelf to deal with. I was in a jam needing some painting done ASAP due to selling my home and Tom was booked solid. Rather than turning me away he took time out of his very busy schedule to listen to what I needed, personally refer the job, and had one of his trusted partners at my house painting the next morning. Great price, great work, and great people. Thanks Tom and you sir are The Man! Lance - Allen, TX”

“We hired Tom to paint our daughters house as a Christmas gift for her. I asked him to do a good job. He far exceeded our expectations.. He showed up when he said he would and did what he said he would do. That's rare these days. His rates are fair and reasonable and his work was professional and thorough. I highly recommend him and will hire him for any future projects we may have. *****”

“I asked Tom to remove the wallpaper and then paint the entryway to our house. He did a great job. He is honest, reasonable, and professional, going the extra mile with the project and clean-up.”

“I am very pleased with Tom's work and feel he is ethical and honest. He did a great job for me and charges fairly. He saved me 70% on paint! One of the things is when you see the quality of his work, you will find more things for him to do.”

“Tom has been incredible to work with and is wrapping up a three week project at my new house. He is what I like to call a master tradesman. His painting skills blew us away and can do almost anything around your house. You'll be one happy camper and your wallet will thank you. Don't hire a big painting company. Tom is your man!”

“I am in the real estate business and I have used Tom on a number of occasions for home repairs and refresh prior to placing my listings on the market. He is a master at matching paints, stains and textures. He has been able to handle any jop I've thrown at him. He does want he says he will do for the price he quotes. I highly recommend Tom for any job in your house, he is a real pro!”
