"We're very happy with the exceptional work done by Thumbs Up Painting and Renovating! They painted our new home and transformed our bathroom from the builders grade to something custom. They refinished our kitchen. The detail was beautiful. The custom black railing work is a focal point.
Sarj, and his team exceeded our expectations. They were professional and communicated all budgets and delays (out of their hands) with us.
We recommend these guys to everyone for all painting renovation work!

I recently hired Thumbs Up Painting and Renovating for a bathroom remodel and main floor repaint in Carrying Place, Ontario, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Sarj, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, he ensured that everything ran smoothly and efficiently.
The staff at Thumbs Up Painting and Renovating were not only skilled professionals but also courteous and respectful throughout the entire process. They took great care to minimize disruption to our daily routine while working on the renovations.
Although there were some unexpected budgetary extras, Sarj took the time to thoroughly explain each one, ensuring that there were no surprises at the end. This level of transparency and communication is truly commendable and greatly appreciated.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the quality of workmanship and level of service provided by Thumbs Up Painting and Renovating. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of painting and renovation services.
Hello Anthony,

Thumbs Down! They USED to be great! They have pictures of a job they did for me on their Facebook page over a year ago and the work was good. Now they have taken on more projects than they can handle and instead of communicating and letting customers know that they do not have time to complete what they started, they just keep giving false hope that they will finish. I gave them two extra months to finish and barely anything has been done in that time. The bathroom (the only bathroom in the house!) that they said was 9-days work still isn't complete, and the work they did do has to be fixed because the plumbing rough-in is wrong (see picture - the bathroom faucet is to be wall-mounted so the valve should have been installed and the water connected in the wall before the blue board was done). Note the dates on the texts and this review is posted October 7. They will argue there was a delay and that is true, there was a delay - but that was in May and after that they still reassured me they would be done July 31, and then they extended to August 31 and then again to Sept 30. I gave up finally because it has to be completed this month and they were still lying to my face. BEWARE!!!!!!!!
Hi Ulla,
Sorry for the delay in responding on this medium. We felt we addressed this on the other review sites you posted a similar review on. We are very sorry you were disappointed with our services, and we truly apologize that we were unable to complete the renovation at your rental property in Trenton ON.
We have had some time to consider the sequence of events and do feel we should have communicated more. Although the following delays prevented us from completing this project for you in a timely manner, we regret that we didn't complete this project for you.
1. Roof leak throughout entire project caused by another contractor;
2. Main water shut off valve seized in home requiring the City to intervene and shut off water at the curb; and,
3. Severe mold throughout the entire house caused by water ingress possibly due to the previous roof leak(s).
We were trying very hard to honour our other agreements and commitments, as well as yours. However, this resulted in the failure of the latter, as we were unable to complete the project within the time requirements. We definitely should have expressed this to you sooner.
We thank you for your time and the opportunity to review areas we can and will improve. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to reconcile further.
Sincerely,
Sarj Elawar

P.S.
The plumbing "rough in" shown in the photo was of your existing plumbing and nothing had been changed. The mounted sink would have still been installed in either order with little drywall removal.
