Top-Rated Painters Lisbon, MD (Chooz Score Ranked)

About

From first contact to final walkthrough, Klappenberger & Son Howard County designs their process around customer transparency and efficiency. When homeowners in Columbia, Ellicott City, or Elkridge call or submit an estimate request, owner Arturo Lacayo personally responds, often scheduling on-site consultations within days of initial contact. He spends time discussing project scope, color preferences, and timeline expectations, addressing concerns about surface preparation and paint selection. His cell phone number (202-644-6105) stays accessible throughout projects. Customers receive detailed written estimates breaking down costs with fixed pricing, projected timelines, and clear service descriptions.

During projects, crews arrive consistently on time, confirmed by the morning coordination Arturo provides. Customers see daily progress on interior painting, cabinet refinishing, or exterior work, with crews handling furniture protection and thorough surface preparation. When unexpected issues arise, like discovering areas needing additional repair, Arturo contacts customers directly with solutions before proceeding. Reviews consistently mention these practices, with Tina Zhang noting crews "arrived on time every day and were very efficient" and Travis Mann describing how they "were able to add these things on without rescheduling." Painters Ramon, Cristian, Nelson, and Martina maintain clean work areas, ensuring spaces remain accessible between work sessions.

After completion, Arturo conducts walkthrough inspections, addressing any final touch-ups before considering projects finished. The 5-year warranty on cabinet painting with clear coat option and standard warranties on interior and exterior painting provide long-term protection. Multiple customers return for additional projects. The fully licensed and insured team (License #142264) covers Howard County communities, handling projects from single-room updates to complete home transformations. With over 100 five-star Google reviews and a 4.9-star rating, Klappenberger & Son Howard County has built their reputation through customers who trust the transparent process enough to become the 74% repeat and referral business Arturo mentions.

About

Andy Pahl and project manager Christian Valenzuela have built a business with over 95 five-star Google reviews through consistent practices and quality painting. Andy visiting job sites daily to check progress, Christian walking each project with customers before crews begin work, team leaders like Elvin Gonzales texting progress updates and ensuring thorough surface prep. Reviews mention crews arriving on time every morning, protecting furniture with lightweight plastic and multiple drop cloth layers, and leaving job sites cleaner than found.

When Peggi Mentges needed her entire basement painted, Painting Contractors of MD didn't just complete the complex project involving ceiling, walls, trim, fireplace surround, stairs, spindles, and a built-in shelving unit. Christian reached out the day before to confirm timing, Elvin and his team completed most work the first day, and Andy visited both days to monitor progress. Elvin then walked Peggi through the finished project to address any questions, demonstrating the accountability customers consistently mention.

Projects range from single-room touch-ups to complete exterior house repaints requiring multiple days. Customers mention Christian's daily communication about upcoming work, crews completing four rooms in one day when needed, and Andy's detailed estimates explaining the full scope. The licensed and insured team (MHIC #88521) operates from Sykesville while serving Howard, Carroll, Frederick, Baltimore, and Montgomery counties. With partnerships through Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore, and 20+ years serving Maryland communities, they handle everything from cabinet refinishing projects completed in two days to historic barn restorations requiring careful surface preparation and period-appropriate techniques.
