Fernando's Custom Painting LLC

Start with the estimate. Fernando visits, assesses the project, and hands over a written quote, often within a day of the call. One homeowner recalled that he "came by the very next day to assess the project" and gave a detailed estimate that same evening. Richard Britt added that Fernando "provided a detailed initial quote" and that "there were no surprises" followed as the work went on.

Preparation comes before any paint. The crew sands, scrubs, caulks, patches, and repairs wood so surfaces are sound first. Linda Piersall wrote that the team "sanded, scrubbed, and caulked our very abused porches" before painting them. Timmmy C., who had extensive wood rot repaired on his exterior, said he was "surprised at all the prep work that went into insuring that the job was done properly".

Exterior work is a core service, from siding and trim to the repairs underneath. Karim wrote that the crew "did an amazing job painting the exterior of our house" and, beyond the paint, "went the extra mile to repair some of our wood trims" so the surfaces were solid before finishing. That pairing of curb appeal and carpentry runs through the exterior reviews across the Triangle.

Ceiling and water-damage repair is a regular request, and the finish disappears into the original. After a roof leak, Harnage said "You can't even tell where the work was done" once the ceiling was patched and repainted. LuAn Hobson, whose ceiling was fixed after a leak, wrote "Can’t tell anything was ever there". Drywall patching and priming come first, then paint.

Yes, tidiness and care for the home are part of the routine. Heather Chase noted the crew showed "Great respect for our home" along with her work-from-home schedule and left everything neat. Kim Dauber described the team as "professional, clean and efficient". Floors and furniture are covered, and the crew cleans up at the end of each day.

Speed and punctuality come up often. Casey Peay wrote that pricing was good and "he was extremely fast" on the job. Louise Settimi described the work as "efficient n on time". A schedule is confirmed up front and the crew keeps to it, which is why so many reviews mention finishing on time without cutting corners.

Kitchen and cabinet painting is a specialty, often as part of a wider refresh. Kevin Beasley said the team did "an outstanding job painting our kitchen cabinets" and other areas, and even helped "coordinate the work with electricians and other service providers" to keep the project moving. Factory-smooth cabinet refinishing is one of the jobs the crew is asked back to do.

Repeat and referral work is common. Ashley Jones, after a whole-home project, wrote that she "will no doubt look to Fernando to help me complete those projects". Siobhan D'Antonio finished with "will call again for next project". Across the reviews, homeowners describe hiring the crew again for the next room, the next repair, or the exterior they had been putting off.

Fernando's Custom Painting operates as a limited liability company registered in North Carolina. The state registers it as Fernando's Custom Painting LLC under business entity identification number 1457348, tying the trade name to a formally organized company.
