What customers say

Ideal Painting & Make Ready did an awesome job! They painted 5 rooms, base boards, crown molding and 2 hallways in my home. They were on time, neat, and cleaned up their mess after each days work. They left no paint “splashes” anywhere. Their attention to detail was extraordinary. The team was very attentive and returned all calls promptly. Customer service was excellent, no hidden charges or up-sells. I will definitely use Ideal on my next job and would highly recommend them to anyone that needs painting!

Ron is considered by me to be an old school painter. He was very thorough while painting the exterior of my home in Plano. He was very diligent about all of the prep work required to have an outstanding finish product. His company still paints with a brush as opposed to spraying. Once again the job was completed timely and thoroughly. I have recommended Ron’s company to other neighbors in my neighborhood and they have appreciated the quality of his work as well. Ron also cleaned our carpets and seamlessly replaced some tile in our kitchen to perfection.

Ron did a great job, very professional and accommodating to our requests! He was able to complete our job quickly and with quality. Fair price for the work we requested and extremely friendly. We are going to hire him to paint our garage next and was willing to help us out in a few different areas. Ron also spotted a few things we didn’t catch and was willing to fix it and not up the price for it. That’s the kind of work one appreciates… where you are being helped and not being squeezed for any little thing that is additionally caught. Great guy and would recommend him to others as well. 5 Stars!

How I work in your home

I fix the wall before I paint it. Holes, cracks, and bad drywall get patched first, so the new paint isn’t hiding a problem that shows back up in six months.

Then we paint by brush and roller. It’s slower than spraying. It also lays down a thicker coat that lasts longer, and nothing drifts onto your floors, furniture, or windows.

Big furniture gets covered. Small stuff gets moved. We clean up every day, and on the last day we clean up everything. Once the measurements are confirmed, the price on your estimate is what you pay. No add-ons halfway through.
