“We have contracted D.A.B. Painting & Decor to do two major painting jobs for us, the first one was to paint the exterior trim on our former house, and because we were so happy with the work on that job we then asked them to paint almost the entire interior of the house we recently purchased. Again, D.A.B. Painting & Decor did an outstanding job, and we can strongly recommend them to anyone.

 "Dan and his team are excellent painters, and provide quality and reliable service at a very reasonable price"

For the second job, we called Dan with only a few days left before we were to move in, and asked them to repaint the interior walls. They were very flexible, gave us an excellent quote, and completed the job in record time so we could move in to afreshly painted house. They are quick, very thorough, clean, and get the job done without any problems at all. D.A.B. Painting & Decor was also great help in finalizing the right colours, and their professional advice was really appreciated.

Dan and his team are excellent painters, and provide quality and reliable service at a very reasonable price. We’ve already arranged for them to do another job for us in the spring, and we are happy to recommend them to our friends.”

"The end result was a complete transformation of the space, done professionally and timely"

 “Craig and I are thrilled we took our neighbours recommendation and called you for the painting project in our last house. You and your crew did close to the entire house, your work was so good I kept asking you to paint one more room, then another, etc. The end result was a complete transformation of the space, done professionally and timely. We were thrilled! When it came time for our next move we didn't hesitate to call you for the paint job at the new place.

In this house you and your crew worked for 2 weeks to transform the space with color. This was not an easy space to paint, with many challenging details due to the floor plan. However, your team did an amazing job and the finished product has made the house "ours". I particularly love the light lavender you did in our daughters room - where you had to cover very vibrant solid covers. It looks magical.

You and your crew have been professional and pleasant to have working in our homes - I have recommended you to anyone I know looking for a painter! I look forward to working with you again in the summer when you come back to paint the exterior woodwork on our home.

Thank you for the professional job!”

“You won’t be disappointed. This owner operated painting/decorating company was excellent. They provided advice on color choices, showed up when they said they would, cleaned up at the end of the day, were respectful of personal property and was a pleasant, sincere contractor. I will use D.A.B. Painting & Decor again in the future and have no hesitation to recommend them and their work to anyone.”

South Calgary Ranch

“D.A.B. Painting & Decor was referred to me by another painter that couldn’t work our job into his schedule at the time. They started with the exterior of the ranch house and I was so happy with the job, I brought them back to do the interior. The D.A.B. Painting & Decor team was very helpful with suggesting colors for the interior of the house – they even painted “samples” on the wall for me to choose from.

"I was so happy with the job, I brought them back to do the interior" 

 I’m so happy with these colors, and with D.A.B. Painting & Decor, that I’m having them paint my new house the exact same way next month!”

"The quality of work
that the D.A.B. Painting
& Decor team provided
exceeded expectations"

 

D.A.B. Painting & Decor won the bid for painting the interior of both sides of a high end mountain chalet style duplex that Trico Freedom built in Fernie, BC.

"D.A.B. Painting & Decor was very flexible and worked well with the other trades on site, which can be difficult when dealing with timing, buyer's wishes and change to plans. The quality of work that the D.A.B. Painting

 

& Decor team provided exceeded expectations. Both Trico Freedom and the home buyers were very happy with the experience and we hope to be able to work with D.A.B. Painting & Decor again in the future.”
