I know this has been discussed but has anyone used Steve Kling to paint the outside of your house. Any experiences?

debatable. Does nice job, but read warranty. Not really much.

Delighted with his entire operation.

Steve Kling did a superb job inside-and outside as well. He is professional, meticulous, neat, and we could not be more pleased.

Very happy with Steve Kling whose company painted the outside of our house.

We used James Rockholt-Rockey-603 391 6658. He is a villager. Pleasant to deal with.
Good price. Came on time. He and his crew were great and did a great job. A HAPPY CUSTOMER.

Does he paint seal garage floors?

Neighbors on both sides used Steve Kline, very nice results, no idea about the comment on the warranty, as I recall, after Sherwin Williams inspects the paint, you are covered for 20 years or more.

Does anyone know if these house painters do one or two top coats?

Mine will put a special primer then one top coat. He guarantees 100% coverage. I'm staying with the same color so i believe this should be fine. I would think two coats is better than one but it might not be necessary with these newer exterior house paints.

We got and paid for two coats. The painter himself said it is not necessary. It is interesting he used Sherwin Williams. The paint color changes as it dries so easy for the painter to see as the second coat is applied.

As a follow-up to my original post, I had Steve Kling paint the exterior of my house here in the Villages and want to report back on my experience. After meeting with Steve and agreeing to do the job I spoke to Michelle to review the job and the contract and she was very polite and knowledgeable. A couple days before the painting was to be done the powerwash guy did his work and it was fine. He did a nice job and also pulled the rocks away from the fountation. Yesterday, on-time, a crew of 3 painters came. I'm very fussy so it's not easy to please me but they were very efficient and did an excellet job. No mess, no paint drops anywhere and they cleaned up perfectly. The painting crew explained the process before doing any work and answered all my questions. They even spray painted my front door. During the day Michelle called me to make sure everything was going well. After about 12 hours the painting was complete. They used all Sherwin Williams products, Lexon primer and Duration top coat. When they finished painting, even though it was very late inthe day they did a walk around the house to make sure i was satisified.
They did one coat of primer, one coat of body color and two coats of trim color. We stayed with the same colors. The paint really does go on thick so one coat seemed sufficient. Today the Sherwin Williams inspector came to check the work. He looked everywhere they painted to make sure no spots were missed and it was done correctly. He then reviewed the warrenty and paint care and sent me a copy of everything via e-mail. After that, Sean from Steve Kling painting came with my re-painted front garage and doorway lights and installed them. He also sprayed the light pole in front of my house and put new front door weather striping and door sweep on. Then he went around the house to double check that no spots were missed and that everything was done correctly. At the end of the day i couldn't be more satisified and i couldn't believe how easy this was to get done. The follow-up in my opinion was above and beyond what i expected. For the amount of work and the quality of the work i feel the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Steve Kling painting.

Steve Kling Painting is one of, if not THE BEST in the area. Do note that there is a competing company just called Kling Painting. I think they are brothers and NOT affiliated in business.

I agree with the accolades for Steve Kling Painting.he has done the outside—and inside. He is the only painter I will use. Excellent in every way.
