"It was a fantastic experience working with Chris and West Arbor Painting recently. He brought vast amounts of experience and suggestions to help me achieve the results I was seeking in the painting of the entire interior of my townhouse! Repairs to drywall exceeded expectations and the paint finish is amazing! Highly recommend Chris Robbins and West Arbor Painting to others. I’ll definitely be hiring them again for my next paint project!"
"We hired Chris to repair our plaster ceiling in our home. It required multiple trips and an extensive amount of work. He was extremely efficient and handled the entire project like a pro. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for plaster work. Five stars!"

Chris is very conscientious of making sure he’s not in the way, even though that was not necessary for me, and cleaned everything like before he started."

"I recently hired this team to paint my home, and they did an incredible job. What impressed me most was their meticulous attention to detail during the prep work.They took the time to meticulously spackle and repair several damaged areas on my drywall, including deep gouges and old anchor holes. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality painting."
"I needed my bathroom and kitchen painted. I used to paint myself but am experiencing vertigo and didn't want to take a chance of falling off the ladder. I met with Chris and he gave me a quote that was reasonable and fair. My house is all drywall inside and full of "nail pops" everywhere. He said he could do a skim coat of plaster to fix the imperfections. The results were great! The walls were smooth and beautifully painted. They cleaned up at the end of the each day, leaving the house as "normal" as possible. Chris and Tyler were always very professional and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend using them for drywall/plaster repair and painting. I will definitely use them again."
"I can't say enough good things about Chris and West Arbor Painting. From the time he arrived at my house to give me an estimate for my project, I could tell he's incredibly passionate about his craft. I was looking for someone who specialized in drywall repair for my ceiling after a leak, and ended up bringing him on to paint my whole living room and kitchen. Chris is very meticulous about both painting and drywall. I completely forgot I had two giant holes in my ceiling after he was done. And the paint job looks seamless and clean throughout the room. On top of that, he reset my home to white-glove clean at the end of every workday so it didn't interfere with our daily life. I highly highly recommend West Arbor Painting to anyone needing interior paint or drywall repair. It's refreshing to hire a contractor who's professional, polite, and fantastic at his craft."
"I hired Chris to paint the interior of my entire home. His knowledge and passion for his work was evident in his videos. I am highly satisfied with the results. He is very knowledgeable and meticulous about the work that he does. If you have any questions he will explain what has to be done in clear detail. He is very honest, professional and personable. He has a tireless work ethic and takes pride in his company. I highly recommend West Arbor Painting."
"I had an excellent experience with Chris/West Arbor Painting and would highly recommend them. I had significant plaster ceiling water damage with cracks and peeling, and they handled the repair the right way from start to finish. They took the time to properly prep and protect the space, scraped away all the damaged material, opened up and reinforced the cracks, and used a great primer. They repaired everything with mesh and compound, sanded it smooth with proper dust control, and matched the texture and paint perfectly. What really stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to doing it correctly—not just covering up the problem. They followed through on everything outlined in the estimate and even went the extra mile to make sure the final result was seamless. The ceiling looks brand new—you would never know there was damage there before. They were professional, clean, and respectful of my home the entire time. Received two other similarly priced quotes that seemed to only address surface issues and not repair for longevity. Competitive price without taking shortcuts. I would absolutely recommend West Arbor Painting. Thank you, Chris!"
