What Portland homeowners say

“Marcus showed up with a moisture meter before he gave us the estimate. Every other painter just looked at the house from the driveway. He found a section of siding on the north side that was holding moisture and told us to address it before painting — not to sell us more work, just because it would have failed under paint within a year. That kind of honesty is why we chose TrueLine.”

“Full exterior repaint on our 1924 Craftsman in Hawthorne. Joel's crew spent two days prepping before paint ever touched the house — scraping, caulking, patching, priming bare wood. The finish is incredible and it looks better than the day we bought it. The written quote was exactly what we paid. No additions, no surprises.”

“Diane's color consultation was worth every cent of the $150 fee. She brought real-sized boards, put them on the wall in the actual room, and talked us through how the colors read in Portland's gray daylight versus the warm light we have in the evening. We almost made a $3,000 mistake with the color we originally picked. She saved us from it.”

“We had our kitchen cabinets sprayed. Before and after photos are dramatic. The finish is harder than I expected — no brush marks, no bleed-through. Diane matched a custom white that works with our counters perfectly. The crew was clean, covered everything in the kitchen, and finished in two days. Very impressed.”

“Joel handled the lead paint testing on our 1952 Sellwood bungalow before we put it on the market. Clear documentation, EPA-compliant work, and a written report our agent could hand to buyers. He explained exactly what the RRP rules require and what we were on the hook for. Wish we had called six months earlier — it made the sale much smoother.”

“Whole interior of a 1,900 SF home in St. Johns. Priya's estimate was detailed to a degree I've never seen — each room listed separately, prep items called out, paint product specified by name. The price was not the cheapest, but after seeing two other bids that were vague, I trusted TrueLine. The crew worked clean and the walls are perfect.”

“Good quality work on our deck refinishing. My only comment is the job took a day longer than originally estimated due to weather — which Marcus explained is standard in Portland and was in the contract language, so fair enough. The stain looks excellent and they were thorough about the prep. Would hire again.”

“Exterior painting on a two-story home in Beaverton. Scheduling was smooth and the crew arrived on time every day. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that one section of trim needed a touch-up that they had to come back for — but they came back same week without any fuss and fixed it without being asked twice. Overall a professional outfit.”
