D'Franco Painting is an outstanding company to work with! They were on time each day, they cleaned up when they finished for the day, once they started our job (which involved several large rooms, vaulted ceilings and patching with dry wall), they committed to showing up day after day to get it all done. Three best part? GREAT communication! That to me is a very big deal - especially when you're not going into work and need to understand timing. 5 STARS for D'Franco Painting!!Posted on Google Susannah BaldockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
