Surface By Design

Great guy, great company, and great job. I am a return customer. I have no complaints. My painted kitchen cabinets have never chipped and stood the test of washing. I have just asked Larry back and am thrilled with his job once again this time painting my grand piano benches. He uses great products. I get lots of compliments on his work in my home. I am a piano teacher and work 44 hours a week so many folks see his expertise. I highly recommend Larry and Surface by Design.

Surface by design just painted two piano benches for us and they turned out beautiful. We had Larry and his team paint our cabinets several years ago and we were very pleased and they still look like new!

Great job! Sometimes the wait is well worth it. Larry does amazing work. Elton is friendly and professional and provides a detailed estimate! Larry and his team were just the best. I am very happy I found Surface by design on Angies List!!!

BEWARE Please read They are a very unpredictable company. They owe us repairs on our estate we resently hired them on. Broke contracts and have a very poor relationship with their own employees. The owner Larry gave us a bid on our home and left his company for over a month for vaction saying he has a "team" he trusted. The worst ever experience we had, with Ryan his rogue employee botched everything he touched practically. Flashing, painted over nails, shotty drywall work. Everything needed to be redone or fixed. Not to mention the constant DRAMA you get listening to all the problems your stuck with! Larry came back, and PROMISED to make us happy and fix this entire mess. He fixed some of it and promised to finish and return after he helps the other clients that got screwed over and take care of his new bids. Well he is too busy now and we're stuck with a huge mess and here TO WARN EVERYONE to not TRUST THIS COMPANY. We have to hire another company now and redo Surface by designs mistakes and damages. We waited patiently for Larry it's been 3 weeks since he said he'd be back to finish he's not, fair to say he's out. Beware of this company, karma isn't on his side especially when good people get screwed over by him repeatedly. We will be happy to talk to anyone about this company and our experience with them. We also are getting a billed! and that's a entirely different subject, needless to say the invoices are written unprofessional and I'd be happy to show those as well. We will be filing a complaint and have everything in writing and photos. We owe nothing to them, they completely messed up my beautiful home, we are definitely not happy. Look them up throughly and see for yourself at least before you hire them. They have outstanding issues you can see when you look up the company.

Return customer: This time we worked with Larry and his crew and they completed the exterior of our home. They went above and beyond and addressed the smallest of details. They were responsive and easy to work with. We will return to them in the future for any other painting needs! Thank you! Previous review: Elton and his crew were GREAT to work with. They were extremely professional, timely, communicative and their interior paint job, both walls and ceiling, were impeccable. Highly recommend!

Would use this company again! They not only stepped up to take care of a situation that needed immediate attention, but did an excellent job!

Surface by Design primed & painted a long run of metal railings for us and it looks great! They were clear in communication, stayed within the timeline they gave us, and delivered a clean finished product. I will definitely be using them again.

They do fantastic job and leave everything clean after the job. I loved the pictures of work as I was unable to be there at time of work. Did exactly as they quoted. I will have them back when need more work done judy

Larry and his team were awesome and the house looks beautiful! They made sure all of the details were finished and were very professional. They went above and beyond. I highly recommend this company.

I had the pleasure of engaging this company to paint my house which had been horribly neglected by another owner. The difference between what it had been and its beautiful appearance now is the difference between night and day.
Dealing with Larry and his crew was a delight; they worked together harmoniously and every detail was taken care of perfectly. They were all very capable and I will say, perfectionists. Next on my agenda is to have them paint the interior. I recommend Surface by Design without any hesitation; very professional, always on time. It was a joy having them!

I have hired Surface by Design (Larry Munn) for two projects so far: Complete exterior paint, and good portion of interior as well. They will be doing another project for us the first of the year, painting all kitchen cabinets.
Larry has extensive knowledge and experience and great recommendations. I believe the cost is reasonable considering those facts. They are reliable and complete the projects quickly with excellent quality work.

My home was originally built in 2003. Both the interior and exterior paint were worn and outdated. I contacted Larry in Fall 2019. He made an agreement to complete my interior paint (with sprayed trim) and numerous drywall repairs by Thanksgiving. It was done in two weeks, and far above any standard I was expecting. I was so impressed by his work that I invited him back to do the exterior the following summer. Again...on time...above standards. Very professional and courteous. I wouldn’t trust my custom waterfront home to another painter. Thanks, Larry, William, Jessica, and Gilbert!

Larry is the best! His crew were timely, professional and attentive to detail. Exceeded our expectations. You won’t be disappointed!

We interviewed several painters for our home in Concrete. There were bids that were much higher and some that were less, but we chose Larry because of his transparency and experience. He had an impressive knowledge of products, techniques and made us feel like he was someone we could trust. His communication was excellent and the attention to detail was incredible. He spent time with us explaining and describing his process and timeline so we would know what to expect and then delivered exactly what he said he would! Very impressed and will use Surface by Design for all of our future projects.

I couldn't be happier with the paint job this company did on my home. Their attention to detail exceeded my expectations, and their clean-up was immaculate. I highly recommend them!

We tried to scrape our ceilings but did not realize the popcorn was covered in paint and we made a complete mess of things. Larry from Surface by Design remediated our catastrophe of a ceiling and made them beautiful! His team was punctual and professional and got the job done in a timely and efficient manner. I would highly recommend them and will use them again for any future projects.

Him and his team are also just lovely people and a pleasure to work with! Biggest thanks to them!
