- Steve S.

Sumter and his team are super professional, good communicators, and excellent at what they do. They painted our 2-story brick house and detached garage and were meticulous in their work. Nothing went unnoticed, to the point that at the end of the job I literally had no punch list for them to work through. This is a testament to their attention to detail, which is hard to find with trades people today. I can’t recommend them enough!

- Michelle E.

Sumter and his team were excellent. Jose and Wilmer did an incredible job repairing about 12 “iPad” sized holes in our ceiling and walls that were created due to recessed lighting installation. They went above and beyond by fixing other imperfections in the ceiling. They were prompt, professional, kind, and responsive. Fantastic cleanup job too. Our living room is beautiful! Will definitely use them again for future projects.

- Ellis D.

Before I moved into a new 1850 sq. ft. condo, I hired W. Sumter Cox Painting Contractors to paint nearly the entire condo. Mr. Cox was wonderful to work with, keeping me informed with updates, sending photos of work. I am not good at choosing paint colors and finishes, so it was great that Sumter had suggestions and explanations for the finishes that were beautiful. I didn’t need to hire an interior decorator! They started work within a week of my contacting them and had completed the job in five days. The job was flawless. I could not be happier. I highly recommend.
