Customer reviews.

My young crew, led my focused Bella, demonstrated advanced painting skills for so many different exterior needs! I had “violations” on my 97-year-old brick home with it’s naturally vulnerable wood trim and doors. This focused team took great care with every kind of historic surface – wood doors, two metal garage doors, a water damaged post in between them, my beautiful front door and front porch iron railings, many deteriorating window sills, awning sides and a peeling entry door! Bella made me feel so confident with her organized can-do presence. And her male team respected her as she worked on the house with them, too. It was fun bringing them watermelon on hot days and breakfast treats and lunch because these painters are college-age. But their maturity is well beyond their years. I’m so happy with the results! We passed inspection, too!

Bella and her team from College Works Painting did exceptional work. She walked us through pricing, answered our questions, and completed the work quickly and professionally, even while contending with late summer storms. I would absolutely recommend College Works to my neighbors and friends.

5/5 Stars – Outstanding Work and Dedication!
I hired College Works Painting to repaint one side of my Rochester Hills home, where badly chipped paint required extra attention. The quality and professionalism were outstanding. Special thanks to Aiden Thompson, who carefully scraped, prepared, and primed the surface before painting to ensure a durable finish. He managed the entire project with care, left the area spotless, and made that side of the house look brand new. I highly recommend Aiden and College Works Painting for their dedication and excellent workmanship.

We had a great experience working with Keith. Project started a bit earlier than expected. Overall nice job considering North Dakota wind, heat, and unexpected rain.

Greg is a super professional bright young man that was a pleasure to work with.

The exterior trim of my home looks beautiful and I would definitely do business with him again.

Good price and exceptional work.

I am very pleased to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Connor Anderson, whom I came to know when he managed the painting of my home in Minneapolis, MN, through College Works Painting.

I was genuinely impressed by Connor’s work ethic, professionalism, character, and ability to take on significant responsibility at such a young age. I initially had modest expectations when I agreed to consider having a college student manage the project of painting my home. Connor and his team far exceeded those expectations—not only in the quality of their work, but in the way they handled an unusually demanding project.

My home turned out to be a far more complicated painting project than anyone could have anticipated. It required an extraordinary amount of detailed labor, extensive caulking and sealing repairs, numerous touch-ups, and substantial additional work that emerged as the project progressed. Much of the work also had to be performed in punishing summer heat, on tall ladders and on rooftops. It was the kind of project that could easily have become frustrating or overwhelming.

Connor handled it remarkably well. He worked exceptionally hard every day, from arranging early-morning paint pickups and deliveries to coordinating multiple crews and projects, adjusting schedules and workloads, troubleshooting problems, communicating with clients, and stepping in to do the physical work himself when necessary. At the same time, he successfully managed a diverse group of peers and navigated the expectations of clients considerably older than he was.

I am a professional in my late forties, and I have had plenty of opportunities to observe people in demanding work environments. I was particularly struck by the maturity and professionalism Connor demonstrated at only twenty years old. He consistently remained composed, pragmatic, attentive, and solution-focused, even when circumstances became difficult. His judgment and demeanor were more impressive than those of many people I have encountered who were decades older and considerably more experienced.

As my project became increasingly involved, Connor also demonstrated an unusual degree of conscientiousness and personal accountability. The additional repair work, materials, and labor meant that the project ultimately became much more demanding than originally anticipated. Through no one’s fault, it also became less financially favorable than his original projections. Nevertheless, Connor never allowed those setbacks to diminish his commitment to doing the job properly. He continued to hold himself, his crew, and the finished product to a very high standard. What impressed me most was that his commitment to doing excellent work did not seem dependent on the project being easy or convenient for him.

I was also impressed by Connor’s ability to manage people. Leading a group of peers is difficult under any circumstances, particularly at his age, but I watched him handle the role with patience and thoughtfulness. He earned my respect not simply by working hard himself, but by taking responsibility for the people and work around him.

Connor and his crew ultimately produced an excellent result, and they treated my home with care throughout the process. I have received numerous compliments from neighbors about how well the house turned out, and I could not be happier with the finished work.

I have no doubt that Connor will continue to grow professionally and take on increasingly significant responsibilities. Based on what I observed firsthand, I would be very comfortable recommending him for future professional opportunities and would be happy to provide a strong personal reference on his behalf. Thank you Connor!

Bethany did a great job handling our painting project. She was easy to work with, kept us informed, and made sure everything was taken care of. The price was very reasonable for the work that was done, and we appreciated how hard she worked to make sure we were happy with the job.

We had a great experience with College Works Painting. The team made it easy to discuss our options and decide what would work best for our home. They painted the entire exterior in just one day, and the results are excellent. Several of our neighbors have already complimented the work. Everyone was easy to work with throughout the process. Thank you to the whole team for doing such a great job!

Madison , crew chief in KC area drove all the way down from hwr territory to finish my home project in Columbia MO. She is detail-oriented, engaging, and very good at what she does. Its refreshing to meet someone going to school and working toward a double major have the work ethic to get things done right and ensure a positive customer experience.

Demetri and his crew did an excellent job on our deck. They power washed and repainted it, and the finished result exceeded our expectations. Demetri was professional, polite, and respectful. Communication was excellent from start to finish, he kept us informed every step of the way. We highly recommend!

Me and my husband had the pleasure of working with Carter and college works this summer.
We were undecided on color but Carter helped us along the way and made many trips for paint samples to make sure we got it just right.
Great work ethic, customer satisfaction, commitment, and crew.
We love the end result and definitely recommend Carter.
