Questions to Ask Brush Masters Painting of EHT

Ensuring expectations align on larger properties

One reviewer noted that while the crew was pleasant, they felt the painters needed more training on technique, specifically mentioning painting sequence and overspray issues.

Detail work on smaller or intricate areas

The company earns strong praise for large-scale painting projects, but one customer noted concerns about precision on finer details after living with the results for a few months.
