Alex the owner of That 1 Painting was amazing. Very professional . Paid great attention to details. His crew was awesome. Our home has never looked better. After the pressure washing our home was painted in 3 days! Price was very reasonable and there were no surprises. I would definitely use That 1 painting for all of our painting needs.
David Burger
Outstanding work. I highly recommend: competitively priced, timely communication, accommodated our schedule, knowledgeable about different paints and styles. They did a great job and were meticulous but still time efficient. They moved furniture for us. They finished the job with good clean up leaving only the paint on the walls with no trace they had been there. Bat Man I’m telling you! Friendly and trustworthy such that I had no problems with them being in my home. Great follow up as well to make sure we were satisfied. One of the best contractors I’ve worked with. Will send up the bat signal again.

Alex and the team at That 1 Painter Seattle are AMAZING! The crew were communicative the entire time before, during and after finishing the job. I felt like they really cared about my project and I wasn't just a number to them. They were courteous and respectful of my space as well, which isn't always the case with contractors. I'm super happy with the work they did! My house had a splotchy paint job before and now it's completely even. If you are looking for a trustworthy painting company that stands behind their word and work, look no further. Best house guests ever.
