Questions to Ask Castle Complements Painting Co., Inc.

Post-project cleanup expectations

One reviewer noted that cleanup after interior work took more effort than expected. While the painting quality was praised, the timing of protective plastic removal during sanding created additional cleanup. Ask them directly: "What's your cleanup process during and after the project, especially for interior work with sanding?"

"Not giving a 5 because the clean up afterwards was pretty intense. I feel they took down plastic too soon, and ended up doing more sanding without the plastic…..it was quite messy and took hours to clean" - Gail H., Google Review (no owner reply)

Questions to Ask Ulta Home

Technical advice on specialty finishes

Nearly all reviews are strongly positive, but there is one 3-star review where a customer disagreed with technical guidance Ulta provided about staining options. This appears to be a difference of opinion rather than a service complaint, but if you have a specialty finish project—like re-staining previously painted surfaces—it may be worth discussing their approach to ensure alignment. Ask them directly: "What's your approach to [your specific finish type], and can you walk me through why you recommend it?"

"I disagree with your statement. Solid stain could be painted over many services, including an already painted wood surface." - Chris T., Google Review (no owner reply)
