Our house is a 1928 faux Tudor; it had been neglected for years. We wanted a traditional color scheme and quality workmanship. I was concerned about scheduling the job to avoid rains. The job was done on time and our home looks beautiful! Thank you, Steve and Jerry, we couldn't have done it without your experience and integrity.

Steve came out to the house to give us an estimate on the exterior of our home and a standalone shed. My husband is also in construction and he and Steve got along great. Steve spent a long time going over what we wanted done. He had a cancellation so we actually had the work done a few weeks ahead of time. We picked out the colors we wanted and Steve had some suggestions. He gave reasons why he thought those colors might work better for us and he was right! Steve came out to the house each morning to let me know what they would be doing that day and to ask any questions that came up. The

If you don't look too closely, the work they do looks good. But if you are keen on details and good quality work, you may be disappointed like we were. Steve was very confident when he toured our home that he would do a far superior job than whoever had last painted our home and assured us his team wouldn't be sloppy or careless with their work. We were quoted about $5,000 for our living/dining combined room, master bedroom, bath, closet and stairwell. I should have been tipped off when they said they do not do any prep work like washing/sanding the walls/baseboards as those are very

Our house was several years past needing paint. In fact, we'd resorted to stop-gap solutions to the wood that was starting to get exposed! The previous painter 15 or so years ago had also done a goofy/lackluster job, which added to the complexities of our current paint project.
Steve and Authority Painting were prompt and organized when meeting us for a quote/evaluation, and replying with the itemized estimate. Since materials for every house improvement project are backordered forever, we got on the schedule for a couple months out. Right on time for the estimated time frame to start, they

I'm so thankful we decided to have Authority Painting do my parent's house. The whole process has been super smooth. Steve was a pleasure to work with and I appreciated how easy it was to communicate with him via phone, email, and text! He always kept us in the loop and answered any questions we had. It's a super clean paint job done extremely well.

I can't say enough good things about Authority Painting. I recently engaged Steve to paint the outside of our house. Steve made several visits to talk about logistics, review paint selection, and best of all, he worked with us to figure out a challenging schedule since we needed to get into the neighbors side yard to do some of the painting. The guys did a great job. They were on site 8:00 am sharp every day and got the work done ahead of schedule.

ETA: I emailed Steve for a quote to get him to address the workmanship issues not because I thought the cabinet work was outstanding. It was also before he confirmed UtraSpec 500 use.
My 1st post I'm careful with my words. It was good before I did some research which I regret not doing before hiring him. 6 mos later there are issues Steve won't address. He didn't ask me to send the pictures, I sent them proactively. The pics I posted were preexisting none of which were touched up.

We recently hired Steve and his crew to paint our 2 story wood house. They are very busy, but ended up being able to come sooner than we expected. We have done lots of (mostly interior) painting over the years, so have learned a bit about the paint I like. Steve was able to offer us more than one brand of paint to choose from, and made helpful suggestions when I had questions. His crew also did some repair work on some wood damage-some we had identified and some they pointed out to us. They power washed the house on a Monday and finished by Thursday afternoon. The painters were here before their

Steve and his crew with Authority Painting did an excellent job with the exterior painting of our home. I'm glad to have found an honest, professional, and very detail oriented painting team. Steve made sure that my house was treated the way he would treat his own, carefully consulting with me on color matching and many other issues. He listened carefully and provided good suggestions throughout the process. The team sealed every crack and crevice around the windows and doors, providing much more than just a coat of paint.
As with any project, there were some unforeseen issues that came

Steve, the owner, was a delight to work with. We have a 20,000 sq ft commercial building which needed a fresh coat of paint. Due to COVID and a limited budget this year, we elected to paint only the lower portion of the building which had the most wear and tear. They did a great job with stucco patching and painting. I will definitely hire them again when we're ready to paint the entire building.

Steve and his crew just completed some interior painting, touch up and walll damage patching............a superb job.....could not be more pleased! The damage to a hallway wall corner was severe.....but when they finished patching, sanding and painting it looked like new! They did a terrific job of matching original paint colors in our 15 year old home......and used the very highest quality paints. The crew was friendly, neat and punctual.....arriving right at 8am each morning. They happily touched up and painted a few additional spots we found......and did not need to increase the quote.

Steve and his crew did an amazing job painting the exterior of our home. They paid attention to all the details which we greatly appreciated. Steve was extremely helpful from start to finish-helping us choose colors, getting samples, etc. He answered every call, email, or text promptly and he was at our home every morning-for 8+ days overseeing the work, checking in with us, and keeping us apprised of the progress. We found him very easy to work with--he and his crew are professional and knowledgeable. Steve's bid was fair, the job was started and completed within the time frame he set out

I contacted Steve to come out to give me a bid to paint some new doors, Door casings and baseboards. I liked his presentation and it was a fair bid. On the scheduled day of work Steve came out with his painter Santos and Santos went to work. He did an excellent job and cleaned up everything after the work was complete.
I am totally pleased with the results and would recommend Authority Painting for you paint job. I will use them again in my future needs.

Steve & his crew painted the interior of our house (walls, ceilings, trims), and we're really happy with the end result.
I called more than 5 different painters, got quotes and decided to wait for Steve and his team because:
(1) Steve was responsive throughout the entire process, and he is very detail oriented;
(2) the project was expected to take ~7 business days (other painters were quoting 10+ business days), and it ended up being done faster;
(3) the pricing was competitive;
(4) he used Benjamin Moore paint, which was better rated than other paint brands;

I was in search for a reputable and quality painter to repaint the interior of my home. I asked friends for referrals and scoured Yelp, where I came across Authority Painting. Several reviewers mentioned that Steve was a busy man and customers had to wait for spots to open up. I needed to repaint my house asap before I moved in. I suspected timing wouldn't work out but I thought it was worth a shot to contact Steve. I gave him a ring and left him a voicemail. It's up to the painting gods now.
Steve returned my call shortly and we discussed logistics. Since it was a very wet February

We had our small condo painted in November after patiently waiting for a couple of months for a spot to open up with Steve. But he and his team are definitely worth the wait.
Steve was helpful in providing feedback in some of the color choices I had for the walls and trim. The color wasn't a drastic change but I just wanted to get rid of the yellow tint from the previous wall color in all the rooms except the bedrooms.
Steve and his guys came promptly at 8a and were able to finish before 4p. They did such a nice and professional job with the walls and trim. I was so happy and pleased

You can tell he puts a lot of care into his work and his employees were also professional. Excellent work! Thanks Steve!

We've hired Steve Clem and his crew for interior and exterior work - and they are top notch! They estimate the work fairly, and do beautiful conscientious work.
Steve really gets into the job and makes sure everything is perfect.
If you're a perfectionist, you'll have trouble finding fault. Trim lines are perfect and clean up is impeccable.
