I've been using Robert Kellerman for years.  He painted much of the
interior of my former house, he painted the exterior of my current house
 and he just finished repainting rooms in the interior after 10 years of
hard wear and
tear on our part.

I find his work of very good quality.  What is most notable though is
that (a) his
team is affordable and (b) they are NEAT.   They are not cheap and they 
are not as expensive as some--they are definitely mid-price, but I find
their work quite  satisfactory--I'm not a perfectionist, but I do
nit-pick.  And if
I have a nit to pick, they fix it without a grumble.  

What is most remarkable from my perspective is that they don't expect us
to clear out anything!  I started doing that in my bedroom and they said
"oh we'll do that."   I told them to paint around my picture hooks and
they did and they then re-hung the paintings.
They took down all the curtains and blinds when painting and rehung them!
They were so neat and tidy that when I came home from work I could only
tell that they had been there by noticing that the dirt marks on the walls
and the cracks in the plaster were gone.  Otherwise it seemed almost exactly
the way I had left it.

So if you want a moderate priced, no hassle painting team, call them.   On
his bill (which I have in font of me) two numbers are listed:  241-6777 and
241-3665.   A plus for me (may not matter to you) is that he hires deaf
painters (he knows how to sign bc he has a grown deaf son).

I realize that this sounds like a paid advertisement.  No, I do not get
a kickback
or a reduction on the next paint job.   I just thought they did a really
good job
and they don't seem that busy to me.
