Tobey,
Thank you so much for tackling this project with us! I was so nervous to make this change and commit to a color, but your recommendations, connection to Jennifer the color consultant, and calm Demeter throughout helped me feel more confident.
Your quality of work, trustworthiness, and great communication will lead us to make unlimited referrals (two already!) 😃 thank you again for agreeing to work with us dash The space is transformed and I can already feel the piece that it brings to my mental/environmental wellness.
We appreciate your time, your skill, your attention to detail and your conversation thank you again Tobey

We highly recommend Tobey for your painting project! From day one, Tobey had great communication - he was quick to respond, kept us informed throughout the process, and confirmed we were all on the same page before moving forward.
Our project required scaffolding to paint 20ft ceilings, work around an open balcony/stone fireplace/large windows, and patching drywall cracks throughout all three floors of our great room space. It was no small feat! Yet, Tobey patiently and professionally worked his way through each step of the project, going above and beyond to make it perfect by cleaning the fan, dusting the windowsills, and checking in to ensure we were happy with his work along the way.
Not only are his skills impeccable, but Tobey is truly a joy to be around. He works efficiently and quietly and is clearly focused on the tasks at hand. Yet throughout the project, I personally enjoyed getting to know Tobey and learn about his family, interests, and work. I loved that I could trust him to work in my home in any capacity - alone in an empty house, among my entire family, and often with just me while my husband was traveling. Tobey’s quality of work coupled with his positive personality and witty dry sense of humor all made this project a truly joyful experience.
We can’t recommend Tobey enough, and we will surely seek to work with him again for our painting needs! I’m grateful our paths crossed, both professionally and personally. We are so happy with the outcome!

“We had a great experience with Tobey. He was excellent to work with and was far and away one of the best with his communications. He let me know each day before he would arrive and when he was wrapping up for the day. We had several challenging rooms with extremely high and angled ceilings and Tobey dealt with all of that with ease. We were also changing colors from extremely dark, deep tones to much brighter colors and his choice of paints and his technique covered those up without any issues. I would absolutely work with Tobey again and am going to have him here in the spring for our next project!”

Hi Tobey,
Thanks for painting happy in the master bedroom and bonus room. It looks great. Can't wait for the rest of the painting to be done. We will stay in touch. Enjoy the home baked cookies !! 😊
Paul and Colleen K.

Tobey,
Thank you so much for the incredible fresh coat of paint. It seems like we have a completely new house and we are enjoying the great color selections. Thank you for the recommendations. It has been a pleasure working with you every step of the way. You are one of the most professional, respectful, and courteous people we have had the pleasure of working with. Your work is of unparalleled quality. Thank you for being patient with our crazy schedules and inquisitive dogs :)) here is an extra little gift so you can treat yourself to a nice dinner and celebrate another excellent job well done.
Jeff and Krista

Tobey,
We want to thank you again for all your hard work on our painting project.
Your work ethic is so impressive and it shows in your power to transform our home back to a place we love again. We have never worked with such a detail oriented contractor, and it was wonderful to know that we could totally trust what you were doing at all times. You showed great respect for both of us and our home. We enjoyed chatting a little each day too!

Tobey,
Thank you for the beautiful work you did in our home, I love it! Use this gift card to treat you and your wife to a nice bottle of wine and a great steak!

“Tobey is a painting “rock star!” His attention to detail and efficiency were amazing. He truly cares about the customer and gaining their total satisfaction. He will be our go-to painter from now on.”

“He was caring, efficient, paid great attention to detail, communicative and put his heart into transforming our space for us. Would hire again in a heartbeat. Tobey is a must when you are thinking about hiring a painter!”

“Excellent. Flawless, Meticulous. Courteous!”

Tobey used his many years of experience to provide input on the final color choices and his advice was perfect! Our home is now much brighter and cheery. It feels like a brand new home! Tobey is definitely the "meticulous" painter! Much care was taken not only with the painting, but also with the prep work, care of fixtures and the clean-up. We are already recommending Tobey and Andropolis Painting to our friends and relatives! No hesitation in using them again and again.

As soon as we met with Tobey, we knew we did not have to look any further for a painter for our home. He was a joy to work with and exceeded our expectations. It was a large job, but he kept disruptions in our daily lives to a minimum. We have already asked him to come back in the future for the next project.

We recently purchased a home in which the previous owners had made unique color choices for the master bedroom and guest bathroom. (dark blue). We found Toby on Angie's List and after sending him a few pictures he was able to come up with color combinations that would definitely enhance the beauty of the two rooms. Toby was awesome to work with and his attention to detail is amazing. We felt comfortable with Toby being alone in our residence and was able to come and go as we pleased. We would definitely have Toby back and highly recommend him.

Tobey is a true professional. His work is clean and precise. His work space is kept clean during projects. He responds quickly to emails, calls, or texts and keeps you informed of progress and timelines. I highly recommend him, I will definitely call Tobey again for my next project!

I am so happy with Tobey's work and professionalism. Recaulked vanity top as an added service at no extra charge. Would hire Andropolis Painting again in a heartbeat.

This was the second time that we hired Tobey to paint for us. Both times we were very happy with the job that he did! He is very meticulous with his painting and was there doing the work when he said he would be there. We would definitely have Tobey paint for us again.

It's been four months since Toby painted our interior and he did an awesome job for us. From the first time we met him we knew instantly we had the right contractor. His advice was spot on and the results were phenomenal. His experience with retexturing small holes to match existing wall textures as well as special prep applications for a water stain was invaluable. We would call on Toby again without reservation because we know it'll be done right. Thanks again Toby!!!!

Tobey did an excellent job and we would definitely hire him again for any of our future painting needs. From day 1 Tobey was incredibly responsive to all communication with him and very professional and timely throughout the entire project. He was very flexible with our scheduling needs since we also had flooring professionals replacing much of our flooring on the main level of our house at the same time that he was scheduled to paint, and he was able to work around them quite well. He was also able to patch all of the nail & screw holes that were in the walls from the previous homeowner's decorating with his own custom, homemade patching material (we have textured walls and the store-bought patching material doesn't quite match the actual texture of the walls). Tobey is someone who really concentrates on quality and doesn't rush through a project just to get it done. Tobey is incredibly polite, trustworthy, and is a very nice individual on top of his excellent painting skills. Ben W. Jan 2019
Tobey did an excellent job. He was prompt in getting me a quote and scheduling the job. He was very neat and you would never know he was there. Circumstances made it difficult for me to be there but he was very accommodating with my schedule.

Tobey does a great, professional job. We were extremely pleased with his work. We plan on hiring him for other work.

Tobey was very reliable and did a meticulous painting job. And that was important to me. My wife and I are very pleased with his painting and how beautiful our house looks now. If you need painting done. Tobey is the guy for you!

Tobey is very professional. After reading the reviews on him on Angie's list, I contacted him and he promptly responded. We set up a time for him to come over and provide us a quote. During the meeting he gave us several suggestions and introduced us to an interior designer who helped us with color choices. He did an excellent job and we are very pleased with his work. We plan to hire him again for the next project

Excellent-Tobey can be trusted and I could still work while he painted. I had a strip border in the dining area and stenciling in the kitchen border that he got removed. Have cathedral ceilings that he painted. Would definitely rehire in the future.

This is the third house we've contracted Tobey to paint. He is the ONLY one I will let touch my walls. His work is meticulous and he pays attention to every little detail. EVERY little nail hole filled with absolutely no trace they ever existed!! He doesn't just paint, he transforms a room! Thank you Tobey! I am sure you will hear from us soon, we have a lot of rooms left to paint!

Tobey is wonderful to work with. I'd hired him in 2015 to paint a bedroom and was waiting for the right opportunity to work with him again. Tobey kept in touch before the painting started and came fully equipped with all the tools he needed. He's meticulous with things like drop cloths and had no troubles working around two very curious cats who just wanted to help paint. The bathroom looks like new, and not a speck of paint to be found anywhere else in the house - despite the cats' best intentions. Will be hiring Tobey again in the future!

The walls in this area of our basement showed a lot of wear and tear from water damage, old shelving that we removed, and then from a big sump pump / drain installation that we had done. We are so pleased with the beautiful job that Tobey did on our basement walls! He is very knowledgeable of the best methods and products for getting the job done the right way, and is very meticulous and precise in his work. He is a great guy to talk to and to work with. I will hire him again, and would recommend him without reservation to anyone in the area looking for an interior painter!

Could not be happier with the work that Tobey did for us. Meticulous work. Very professional. So easy to work with. Would highly recommend him! Great guy, great work! Thanks Tobey! You were a pleasure to work with.

Excellent. I could not be more pleased with the quality of the painting and the care taken to do a great job. I would hire him again and plan to. Carol B.

Tobey did excellent work and was very flexible when we added on a few additional items to the original agreement. We completely trusted Tobey in our home when we were gone. Our 2 dogs and 2 cats liked Tobey too. We will definitely hire Tobey again when we need additional painting. Highly recommended.

Tobey did a great job. He had a very bright orange to cover; it was done well and quickly. Very friendly. Felt safe having him in our home.

Tobey did a superb job. He is definitely a "picky" professional, concerned about doing a perfect job, and making the homeowner happy. So far, Tobey has painted one bedroom, 3 bathrooms, and the hallways in our house. We will DEFINITELY have him back to do more painting. Richard C.

Tobey is one of the best contractors we've ever worked with hands-down. He was courteous, thorough, and did beautiful work. No hesitation on using him again, or recommending him to anyone for any size job.

This was one of the best experiences I have ever had with a company. Tobey contacted me immediately, set up an estimate appointment, got us our estimate and provided the service in such a timely manner. The level of service that Andropolis Painting provides is second to none. The response time was immediate, the friendly service was amazing and the job that was done, painting our house, looks so great! We are so happy with the service and dealing with such nice people and then of course the price was great too. It took the stress off of us having to paint and was done 10 times better than we could ever
dream of doing it. And they got it done quickly so we could have our house in order for Christmas. We love it and plan to call Andropolis Painting for our next painting project.

Toby from Andropolis Painting is a meticulous painter who takes pride in his work. He is patient enough to get it right, from prep to the finished product. Not only is he an experienced professional, but Tobey is a great person. You will not regret going with Andropolis Painting.

Wonderful work on our apartment accent walls. On time, neat and professional. Cared about our feelings. Would recommend Tobias and hire again in a heartbeat!

It was a pleasure to work with Tobey! He took the necessary time up front and was very helpful when we ran into a couple of minor issues along the way. We are extremely satisfied with the quality of his work and it's great to work with someone who truly wants us to have a great home improvement. ”

Tobey did a great job painting my bedroom. He left the room completely clean and even tried to remove old paint from the wood trim. His prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend him for any painting needs.

Excellent results, professional, courteous, and an extremely pleasant experience. I would use Andropolis Painting again.

Tobey did an excellent job repainting my spare bedroom/office. Lots of attention to detail and a careful prep job to ensure outstanding results. He even spent some extra time making sure we had the right color to match my existing woodwork when repainting it--ended up being a custom job. He answered all my questions and made good suggestions. I would recommend him to anyone needing interior painting. In fact he is coming back next week to do my living room next.

Tobey is awesome!!
I got in on a deal through Angie's list to have one room painted. I chose to have my bedroom painted from a very dark green color to a more neutral grey. Tobey was very responsive about contacting me and when I had an error on my part trying to get in touch, he was very understanding and got back to me right away. I had the work completed within a week of purchasing the offer through Angie's list. He was very communicative about the amount of paint that would be needed and the coverage. He brought in everything and took great care with my belongings as well as keeping the pets out of the paint. He even had to remove the door from the room to get access to the walls but he did it easily! He was really understanding about my not knowing how to take the curtains down before he came and did that for me too. The room was gorgeous by the end of the day and looks awesome now. I look forward to working with him to paint the rest of my home!

Toby was on time, informative, about what he would do and what I would do. All I had to do was pick out the paint. Toby protected everything, my concern was the hardwood floor. He totally protected the floor and furniture. My color scheme included 5 different colors. Two coats of paint on all the walls, as well as the crown molding. Toby gave us a new home for the Holidays. We are 100% Very professional. I would definitely have Toby back! Patricia R. Oshkosh 2015
Tobey did an excellent job. I was 9 months pregnant and eager to have the nursery and our master bedroom painted before our little one arrived. He flexed his schedule to come the day before Christmas and did such a meticulous job! I can't say enough about the quality and cleanliness. I was a bit nervous having a stranger alone in our house for the day while we were at work, but after meeting Tobey, I was comfortable leaving him there to work. I would definitely recommend Tobey and if we didn't have to relocate, I would have had him back for more projects!

Tobey was able to paint my master bathroom following a renovation on short notice after a previous painter I had lined up wasn't able to do it. He is very friendly, responsive, and professional and does quality work. A couple years later I contacted him to help me fix up a bad spackle job I had done myself. He came out the next day, fixed up the area and repainted it, and made it look good again. He didn't even charge me anything for this small repair.

I hired a painter because I have cathedral ceilings. I got so much more. Tobey was fast, thorough, meticulous. We enjoyed him and his great customer service.

Painted walls and ceilings in the following areas; 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, hallway, and stairwell to lower level. Our first time using a professional painter. Toby did a great job covering each step from quoting, developing a schedule and staying on track. Detail to painting, overall a great experience and value for the price.

He came on time for the appointment to give me an estimate. He took his shoes off to walk around inside our house. He gave me the estimate right then on the spot and we set up a date to do the work. He came on time on the day he was to do the work. He set up his equipment, being careful with our house. He prepared the surfaces and then painted the upstairs ceiling, hallways and stairway. The job was perfect, efficient and all cleaned up when he was done. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Tobey was the consummate professional. He came to our new house before we even bought it to look over the areas we wanted to paint and gave his honest opinion about the colors we thought we would like to use. He arrived exactly when he said he would, and finished precisely on time. All of our floors and furniture were covered and there wasn't a speck of paint where it shouldn't be. 🙂 He was a pleasure to have around while he was working, too! I never felt concerned when he was alone in our home, which I feel is equally as important as how good of a job a person is able to do. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again - as a matter of fact, we're already planning what our basement would look like with new paint! He just plain does a great job, and I'm absolutely thrilled with how my new home looks now that we have some color on the walls. I've already recommended him to several friends who are purchasing new homes this summer, so I will say the same thing to anyone reading this review: Don't hesitate - call Andropolis Painting today!

Tobey did a fantastic job! Very professional and very organized. He was very careful in preparing each room prior to painting. He taped off everything that needed to be and there was absolutely no bleed through of paint onto anything that shouldn't have paint on it. Many times he free-handed, especially around windows and at the ceiling, making very clean lines. He is a very talented painter! His personality is such that you can chat with him along the way or go about your own business and not feel
like you have a complete stranger in the house. There were times when I could not be here while he was painting and I was able to trust him completely. I even asked him to let our dog outside once and he happily obliged. He's just a nice man. I would most definitely recommend Andropolis Painting!

He painted all four upstairs bedrooms and closets. Earlier in September he had painted the first floor, and we were delighted to have him complete the inside of the house. Perfect. Tobey is definitely a professional and a delight to work with. He was prompt, neat, responsive, and did a wonderful job. Don't hesitate to call him for professional painting.
