We had the Picture Perfect team paint our entire newly built home, from the basement to the top floor, including all rooms, doors, and exterior work. The team was professional, easy to communicate with, and delivered excellent results. We later hired them again to stain our fence and deck and were equally pleased. We rarely leave reviews, but they earned this one. Highly recommend.

Picture Perfect did some work for us recently and it was a fantastic experience. Alex responded very quickly to our request to come look at what could be done to our basement to fix some damage to the ceiling and walls. He asked about our timelines and what ideally worked for us, and within a week we had some at the house. The consultation was super helpful to determine what needed to be done, excellent suggestions were made and taken. The work was prompt, professional and pleasant! We are really happy with the results, and the rates were very fair and reasonable. Would not hesitate to recommend them and will use this company again.

Best painting company in Toronto! From start to finish so communicative and always thinking ahead of us. We did a retrofit on our house, so we had many moving parts to our project, but Picture Perfect made us feel well taken care of from the beginning. We were assigned an amazing project manager who came to the job site many times. She was so organized and ran a lovely team. All the painters were very experienced and a pleasure to have working in our home. Cannot recommend Picture Perfect Painters enough.

Alex and his team are very professional and obviously care about the work they do and the people they serve. The team who painted our exterior trim were respectful and knowledgable. All the most dangerous parts of the job were approached very cautiously and I noticed Alex himself seemed to appear magically just before those for one last strategy talk. Office staff were great with communication as well. Thank you all so much!
