"Golden West's Jim Pawloski has been an incomparable ally in our kitchen renovation. Lovely cabinets, meticulous follow-through, and the highest ethical standards of any contractor we've ever worked with. Jim and his team went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied with every aspect of the project; a wonderful experience. We will certainly call them for our next project!"

"This company is top drawer! The crew working at our house was efficient and friendly. They kept the construction area very clean, showed up on time every day and worked full days. Our job was finished in a week, and looks fabulous. Jim, the owner, gave us an accurate and reasonable bid, and checked on the job regularly. We will use Golden West again for future remodeling jobs. This is a very professional outfit!"

"Our house looks great now. The interior of the house still had the original paint from 1993 and it had significantly yellowed. Mark painted everything with a lighter shade of white freshening the entire space up! We will use his services again for the bedrooms!"

"Mark was excellent all round. His men did a very professional job and left the place spotless. They wouldn't leave until I was happy with everything. I would recommend mark every time. He was not just a painter but he knew all about color combinations. He spent 2 1/2 hours with me walking through my place and making suggestions. He was there to supervise the job and make sure everything was being done well. Loved mark and his outgoing, vivacious personality."

"I got bids from 3 other painters in the area. Mark Johnson Painting came in slightly higher than the others, however, Mark had some great ideas on color choices that I didn't consider. He has a very artistic eye and it shows in the final product. He painted a new barn for me and it looked so nice, I had him paint the house to match! The crew was excellent!"

"I left a message for a quote and Mark quickly returned my call. He was on time for the estimate appointment. Mark was professional, knowledgeable and very easy to talk with. His pricing was reasonable and his workers were just awesome. I had approximately 1200 sq. ft., including ceilings painted. They completed the job on time, and had me inspect the rooms before they left. They did a great job. I could not believe how clean (straight) the lines were. I highly recommend Mark Johnson Painting. These guys are honest, knowledgeable, hardworking, and do excellent work. They truly believe in 100% customer satisfaction. I'm looking forward to hiring them again."

"Mark showed up as scheduled. The job was handled in a very professional manner. What I most enjoyed is he did not make the ridiculous estimate trip. He told me what he expected the price to be based on my description of what I wanted. He came, said the estimate was good, and did the job. What a time saver."

"Mark provided a same day quote and then began work within a few days. He and his crew were professional, on time and courteous.....their work excellent. He was one of 5 Pros I obtained a quote from and he had the most fair price. I also called two of his references...and one of them had a father in law who was a paint contractor for 30yrs and gave Mark 2 thumbs up! I will be keeping his contact information and two of my neighbors have already requested quotes form him."

"Mark and his team were excellent. We hired him to paint the entire interior of our house. He got the work done on time and even fixed some of the 'boo boos' that we created on our part. He is pleasant, friendly, and fair. Great work. House looks awesome. Will hire again for future projects without a doubt."

"I selected Mark Johnson painting because his quote was very competitive, and his follow up was great - he really seemed to want my business. When I gave him the job, he scheduled the work to completely accomodate my schedule. He started the project at my convenience and finished the job ahead of schedule. During both the quote and the planning process, Mark offered many solid suggestions and recommendations - most of which I ended up using. He gave suggestions regarding colors and patterns. Mark and his team were courteous and professional. They painted the entire interior of my new home, and I couldn't be happier. They were great!"
