Capital City Paint & Restore

Ismael and his crew are very professional. Everyone was very respectful and seemed very interested in doing the best job they could. They worked really hard even though it was very hot outside!They stripped the loose paint, caulked and sealed the edges, repaired damaged boards, painted with precision, installed new registers and vent covers, cleaned up paint mistakes from a previous paint job, then swept and cleaned up.There were no surprises and they met every expectation. My neighbors even wanted their number because they were so impressed. Give them a call! More...

Recently I thought I had hired a painter to repaint 2 rooms for us before we replaced the flooring. As it turns out that guy didn't show up. So on a Friday at 5:30 PM I am reading yelp reviews and making phone calls to see if I can find someone who can do this painting project sometime over the weekend. Ishmael returned my call and we spoke about the details for the work. His crew arrived early the next morning to begin prepping everything. They painted the ceiling, walls and trim in both rooms, completing the work the same day and doing a beautiful job. I was all set for the flooring crew at the beginning of the week and was thrilled that I could get this completed while everything was moved out for the flooring redo. Thanks guys! More...

I hired Capital City Paint and Restore to do a mini kitchen makeover, and I am really pleased with the result.  They scraped the popcorn off the kitchen ceiling and retextured, they sanded and painted my kitchen cabinets, painted new trim that had already been installed by another carpenter, and they painted my office, laundry and kitchen.  They also repaired some damage to the sheetrock and trim in my laundry room due to my dogs.  Ismael was very responsive and timely when quoting the work.  I thought his price was very fair, and his crew showed up exactly when I told him I was ready to begin the work.  I am a bit of a control freak so I did watch over the crew closely, and I bought all of my own paint which Ismael deducted from the final bill.  When reviewing the scope of work, Ismael came up with a perfect solution to our 1980s style kitchen ceiling in regards to lighting.  He brought in a licensed electrician for the job.  Again, I supplied the materials because I am picky (recessed LED lights) and they installed them.  When the job was complete, I did a thorough inspection with the crew there, and the guys did every touch up I asked them to.  The next day I found a few more spots and again they were back right away to make it just like I wanted.  Ismael was not present on the job site while the work was being done.  He came and did the initial quote and he came at the end to inspect.  I like that he is picky too.  He and I put stickies out as markers for where we wanted the crew to do the final touch ups.  For the price I paid, I couldn't be happier with the work.  I would use them again.

Capital City did an outstanding job on an extensive restoration of our first floor.We suffered water damage from the October 2013 rains, with a number of foundation wood beams being effectively destroyed. We had been dreading getting this work done, convinced it would take many weeks to complete and would be expensive, disruptive, and messy.The Capital City team came in, replaced the bad wood; replaced and painted the drywall; matched, replaced, and painted molding. It was a big, complicated job, and the team had to work around large piles of stuff on the ground floor. They completed the job in under two weeks, at the original, very reasonable estimate, and even threw in a painting touch-up of a wall in the upper story. At the conclusion of the work the team did a thoroughgoing cleanup of both the inside and outside of the house, leaving it spotless.We literally could not be any happier with how the work turned out. The first floor now looks *better* than it did prior to the storm damage. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Capital City to anyone in need of interior painting and restoration work. More...

I cannot say enough of how IMPRESSED and AMAZED I am at the great work Capital City Paint and Restore did. The new owner, Ismael, was professional, on time, courteous, and flexible. I have worked with many contractors and Ismael runs a right ship and gets the job done.He came to give me an estimate within 24 hours of my call. I received the bid the next morning. That was the fastest turnaround of all the companies I was working with for a bid. The price was also fair and beat out the others.The guys came in and completed each step of the job in half the time I expected. The quality of work was something I have not seen around here. Did I mention that I've worked with a lot of contractors?!They did popcorn scraping, painted 1400 square feet of a condo, painted the brick on my huge fireplace and mantel, repainted my pergola, installed hardwood flooring (glue down), and installed and painted baseboards. Quite a big job and I am SO very happy with the turnout. Ismael and his crew are AWeSOmE!! More...

We needed to have our home exterior painted. I got quotes from the top three painting companies on yelp. Capital City Paint & Restore was the most affordable and locally owned. Ismael did a full assessment of the house and sent an estimate promptly. The painters showed up on time everyday and worked diligently in the estimated time frame we were given. Upon completion they had me do an inspection and touched up any areas I pointed out (which was hardly any). I would definitely recommend. Good quality work for a good price. More...

Ismael was amazing to work with. We had them contracted for popcorn removal and painting for just the downstairs. He came and gave us a fair quote (discount for paying cash) and gave great suggestions for paint colors. There were 1 or 2 communication mishaps with his crew, but Ismael was quick to get them fixed. We saw what a beautiful job they did with the ceilings, that we ended up getting the rest of the house done. He even referred an electrician and we got our new fixtures installed too. We will definitely be calling Capital City Paint when we need our house exterior painted! More...

Capital City was referred to us through Lowes and we could not have been happier with the work. We bought a house and needed the interior painted and the kitchen cabinets stained and finished. We called on a Saturday and Ismael came Monday morning for an estimate. They started work the next morning, worked through the 4th of July and were finished in four days. The work was excellent and we will hire Capital City for all of our future projects as well as refer them to all of our friends! I would give 6 stars if I could. More...

First rate experience from a first rate crew.  I had asked probably a dozen other painting companies to quote me about my popcorn ceiling removal.  Here's what I came up with - Unreturned phone calls.  No urgency to give estimates.  Sky-high quotes.  And a bunch of complaining about what a tough, messy job it is (no kidding - I've done it plenty of times before, and that's why I'm hiring it out now!).  Not impressed.  Finally read some reviews of Capital City, decided to try this again.  Ismael called me back almost immediately, then scheduled a time to come out and quote very soon after.  He seemed like a genuinely good guy, and was thorough in evaluating the job, which is always important because it tends to minimize surprises change orders later.  The quote he gave was really reasonable, and he was able to get a crew out to work within a short time.  The bottom line - the crew worked quickly and professionally; took great care of my home; and finished on budget, and ahead of schedule.  My house looks amazing, thanks to Capital City.  What more could you ask for?Do yourself a favor - step away from the computer, and give these guys a call already!  You'll be glad you did.

After priming most of our house, we decided that painting was not something we also wanted to do. We were on a time crunch due to us moving in later in the week, so I called a couple of painters to see who was available. Ismael's team was ready to go when we needed them and his bid was cheaper than everyone else's.His team was great all around. They painted everything quickly and very professionally. They started around 9 AM and finished two bedrooms, a bathroom, dining room, hallway, and living room with fireplace all before 4 o'clock. Needless to say, I was impressed.I'll definitely be using them again. More...

Ismeal and his crew did a great job on our exterior fascia replacement, exterior painting, popcorn ceiling removal/retexture/paint redo. He responded within 24 hours to my request, gave a quote after 24 hours of visit, and was able to beat competing quotes to our satisfaction. We could trust his crew to be in our home when we were present as well.  A week after he remodeled our bathroom ceiling, we had our roof replacement. The hard hammering made some of the nails/covering crumble in the bathroom. I called Ismeal and he was there the next day to fix the problem, without additional charge. Our neighbors have complimented how nice the outside of the house looks now and are requesting their services now too! More...

Some friends recommended these guys to us after we bought our house. The place had been a rental and the walls were painted some sort of industrial white that felt the opposite of homey.

We chose capital city paint after reading all of the great reviews on yelp and were more than pleased with their work.  Michael is very professional, timely, and gave us a very reasonable quote.  He also helped me pick out colors and his advice was dead-on.  We had him do 2 bedrooms in our 1947 central austin house, which was quite a lot of work since the trim on the original wood windows and doors was in very bad shape (and peeling lead paint).  Michael's trim guy did a superb job in cleaning, patching, and painting it and it looks fantastic.  They also installed crown molding to match the rest of our house which looked great as well.  I would not hesitate to hire Michael again, especially for any more complicated or restore-type jobs in the future.  Thanks Michael!!

Total pros, great value!Okay, so my husband pushed me towards getting someone else to paint my new office rather than trying to do it myself.  I'm a DIYer through and through, so at first thought, I was like "nah, how hard can it be?"Lemme tell ya...harder than it looks.Michael at Capital City Paint came to my office, quoted me a price and all I had to do was point to a color in a book and his crew did the rest.  When I added up the hours it would have taken me to select the color, drive to buy the paint, then drive to buy all the paint brushes, drop clothes, tape, etc, I was already OVER IT!  Not to mention, the 8+ hours it would have taken me to paint the darn office...So the total no. of hours it would have taken me vs. the price CCP quoted me, it was a total no-brainer.  SIGNED, BOOKED.

[For whatever reason, I ramble when I'm excited about things.  If you like, skip to the end for the brief....]As can be told from some of my other reviews here on Yelp, my wife and I just bought a home.  We desperately wanted the entire interior painted, as it looked like Pig-Pen from Charlie Brown rolled around the walls while Michael J. Fox tried to paint straight edges at the trim and ceiling.We accepted three bids: one from the highest rated painter on Citysearch; one from a friend-recommended painter who still does hand-written estimates and doesn't understand this new fandangled "email"; and one from Michael at Capital City Paint & Restore.  I should note that my wife and I had very good feelings about all three of these painters.  While painting an entire interior is costly, Michael's bid for more work than was requested of the other two (kitchen ceiling, all walls at two colors / two coats, all closets and all trim), he actually came in lowest!I'll be honest...I gave him a hard time at the beginning, including a two page typed list of what I expect of a painter and explaining in detail what would not fly regarding edges and lines.  He laughed, told me that he understood that I had high expectations, and then explained his methods and process.  These were better and more thorough than what I had asked of him, and he won me over.Good: Michael is young but highly intelligent, uses quality products and paint/trim methods (e.g. tape and caulk, removal of cover plates, and brushing rather than spraying), and enunciates better than any English teacher in the south.  I also like that he was at the house the entire week painting and supervising rather than *hoping* that his men's standards were up to his own.Bad: One of the men on the job left a sweating cup on a wood table which left a slight ring.  Michael exchanged words with him about his "quality" of work; and as of Thursday, this man is no longer a member of Michael's crew.I had problems trusting many of the painters on this site (...did you REALLY get seven 5-star reviews in a week?!), but I'm proud to have now added this detail-oriented and reasonably priced painter to Yelp for your consideration.*** Update (10/28/2009):After my wife and I were so impressed with how the interior turned out, we commissioned Michael to paint the exterior trim and sand/stain our sun-bleached door.  I compared his quote, and he was $600 to $1,000 less expensive than the other two bids that I had from those painters I mentioned above.  The trim looks great, and I inspected the lines *very* carefully after my co-worker mentioned that painting trim is a p.i.t.a. to do cleanly and correctly.  Michael is the first person that I've written a review for that I can confidently say that I trust.  Thanks again!
