H F Steilberg

Steilberg Painting recently finished a large project at my home…painting the interior of the 1st & 2nd floors which included a lot of detailed areas such as: built-in book cases, fireplace surround, built-in china hutches, and stairwell/spindles/risers/steps. I HIGHLY recommend them. Their workers are EXTREMELY personable, excellent communication, and really want to make the customer happy. Respectful in the home…no loud music or shouting or anything disruptive. Are they pricier than other painters? Yes. But you get what you pay for. Steilberg is a 90 year old family business with only full time employees. They are known for high end painting, and for good reason. I recommend them without hesitation.

Meticulous professional painters who did an exception job repairing water damage, building/using scaffolding and applying 3 different types of paint finishes. They took on a huge project and we were completely satisfied with the results in every single project (family room, kitchen, entrance foyer, paint cabinets in bar area). Truly a professional group that I would highly recommend.

The crew is responsive and friendly. They made sure the job was done right. They did extensive scraping, repaired trim and gave a great facelift to a Highlands home built in 1915. Services: Exterior decorating, Clean gutters, General repairs

Critical: Responsiveness He came out for an exterior house painting estimate on time. Appeared very knowledgeable, but never provided an estimate after promising to have one to me by the next day. Its been over a week and no estimate yet. The least they can do is tell you up front they are not interested in doing the work.

My husband and I recently purchased a home in Lake Forest which required a fair amount of renovation. After extensive research and meeting a number of highly recommended painters, we chose H. F. Steilberg for a complete repaint of our home. From the time we met Mike Steilberg to the moment his team finished, we received the highest level of professionalism, guidance, communication and the best quality paint work we have ever received.

I don't say that lightly as we have used numerous painters over the years for a variety of projects. As a matter of fact, when his team folded up shop after completion, it was like having family members move out. I would trust this team no matter how big or small the job. If you don't have H. F. Steilberg quoting your paint work, you are making a big mistake.

Pressured washed and sealed our deck. The painters did a very thorough job. Deck furniture returned to proper place. Painters very courteous and pleasant to have around. Service: Exterior painting

Mike's team performed lead paint remediation, painting and a small amount of plaster repair. Everyone was very professional, pleasant, on time and did great work. They're very open to hearing feedback and immediately wanting to make things right. Mike also has great advice and was helpful in guiding me on topics when I wasn't sure how to proceed. We'll be happy to have them back when we're ready to tackle the next project.

Mike sent Kelly over to remove wallpaper from two bathrooms, prep the walls, prime, then paint them. The work was absolutely top shelf! Kelly arrived each day, promptly. He set up his work area, and all times, even when raining, he kept the carpets in that area protected. We loved working with Kelly. He knew what he was doing, he explained as he went, he cleaned up before he left each day, he was polite and personable. We will absolutely use Mike and his team in the future and highly recommend! The bathrooms look fantastic!

Very pleased; have used their painting expertise repeatedly. Family owned and operated. Unusually conscientious and promptly available. Excellent follow-up on resolving any concerns. Recommend without reservation.

Mike and his crew did a fantastic job painting the exterior of our 90-year-plus-old home in Crescent Hill. The best folks professionally and personally!

Provider repaired porch deck and framing, replaced stair treads. Provider washed, prepped and applied two coats of paint to a 2 1/2 story frame built in about 1900. The house is a contributing structure to the Clifton Historic District and there are restrictions on how work is to be performed. I asked Mike Steilberg for quality work at a fair price.

I was clear that I was not interested in the lowest cost job and that's certainly not what I got. He was referred to me by a contractor who does quality work and I knew our standards would be compatible. Work began the week of October 12, 2015 and was completed on December 16,2015. The paint scheme used 6 colors on a Princess Anne style house. It had not been painted for about 13 years but most surfaces were in decent shape. However, one side of the house still had some lead paint which peeling had exposed. Remediation cost about $1750.

The wooden deck of the front porch had sagged and the rain gutter no longer drained well. We discovered termite infestation and damage. (I used another vendor for treating against termites.) The cost included jacking up columns, reinforcing some of the deck joists, replacing custom milled trim, milling and replacing tongue-in-groove 5/4 decking. Old weatherstripping was removed from the double front doors and replaced. Aluminum storm sashes and screens were removed so that historic window sashes could be cleaned and painted.

The provider replaced the glazing compound on a few of the old windows. Because the new paint colors were significantly darker than the old ones, most surfaces required two finish coats. That increased cost considerably. I watched the painters work and examined their work on most days of the project. They did fine quality work and I was completely satisfied with the finished product. Mike and his painters suggested some modifications in my paint scheme and they were good ones. Mike was there every day to superintend the work and his painters.

I made it a point to give good feedback to the painters who seemed genuinely enthusiastic about this challenging job. On most days there were two painters working. During the prep work another two would join them. So, on some days there were as many as four people working. I would recommend this provider to anyone who is interested in quality work, not just the cheapest work.

We had a painter come out and paint several rooms in our home about three years ago. We had concerns from the beginning because we thought they did a pretty poor job removing the old paint job. Then their paint started chipping as soon as the weather got cooler and had progressively deteriorated over the years. Steilberg came in earlier this year and showed us what a HUGE difference good preparation can do for a painting project.

We had originally intended for them to paint just one room, but we were so impressed we went ahead and had them paint two more plus our outdoor deck. My wife and I have been recommending Steilberg to ANYONE who will listen!
