High quality work and the team goes above and beyond to deliver the best outcome. While the price was on more expensive side, I can wholeheartedly say that it was worth every penny. 10/10 would recommend and would higher again.

It’s not always easy to find companies in the trades that are on time, capable, professional and get things done when they say they will. I found Hemlock through other reviews online that said Hemlock might cost a little more but are worth it and do good work. For what it’s worth I found their pricing right around the same as other vendors. They also took on an interior commercial job which a lot of other painters said they wouldn’t do. I would recommend them to anyone needing painters.

Used the Yelp Assistant function and received responses from 6 painting companies who all scheduled visits. Hemlock Painting booked a date and time and sent a follow up email and message. They arrived on time and we walked through the project. The estimator advised he would take some photos and have the quote available to discuss before he departed. We discussed the quote and options. It was very professional and I appreciated having the opportunity to discuss the quote. While I did not end up using Hemlock Painting for my exterior, it was a very positive experience.

He asked pointed questions and tried to collect as much info as possible on the future project. He's a true professional. Even though the price was reasonable, in the end of the day I picked a company that my spouse was in favour of.

I prefer a written format for better clarity, which I shared with Elliot - staff wore uniform, and looked sharp Just like with anything in life, there are improvement areas. In this case, it was around task scheduling, employee work-life balance, and project progress clarity. I shared this feedback privately with the owner, and he assured me that he will consider this and take the required actions. He also shared that there were some unforeseen, unique challenges during my project, which contributed to some of these challenges. Overall, all good.

Our Process

  1. Measured, not guessed

    We measure and price every wall, ceiling and door down to the gallon and the dollar. Nothing guessed, nothing padded. The price we quote is the price you pay.

  2. Job preparation

    From the day you book, your project coordinator works with you to settle every detail before the crew arrives: colours, schedule, access. Nothing's left to sort out on the first morning.

  3. Your Hemlock crew

    Your crew arrives on day one: full-time Hemlock painters, no subcontracted painters or student crews. They're long-term trusted people hired specifically to work in our clients' homes. They are led by a dedicated crew leader and working on one project at a time.

  4. The paint job

    Every job runs on the same system: prep checklists, an organized job site, premium Benjamin Moore paint, and a quality checklist before we call it done. Same standard on every home.
