Steve and his team are AWESOME! Their work on our walls and ceilings turned out just beautifully! Even pressure washed our deck as an add on. I would HIGHLY recommend Golden Rule Painting over anyone else!

Jake Mastrid
★★★★★

We had Steve and his son Joey estimate, paint and stain the exterior parts of our home. They are both very professional, responsive, attentive to detail and willing to go the extra mile for their clients. We are very pleased with the results and will definitely be using Golden Rule Painting again and referring others to do the same.

Kirk Eberding
★★★★★

Golden Rule painting really did a great job. Steve was very accommodating and professional. They turned my dull, boring house into the exact colors we liked. The walls were touched up and the marks are gone. What really impressed us was the work they did on our trim and cabinets. We went from a dark, almost walnut color to all white. It completely transformed our house and they pulled it off. Thanks Steve and the rest of the ← Golden Rule staff!

Joe T
★★★★★

I hired Steve after being referred by a local paint store. He and his son Joseph did a fantastic job on an very large exterior brick wall. I was so pleased that I had them repaint my home entrance and the steel gates entering the courtyard. I would highly recommend Golden Rule Painting to anyone who desires a professional result at a reasonable price.

Steve and Shane did a great job painting the exterior of my house. They were always willing to do whatever it took to make sure the job was done right. I would highly recommend Golden Rule Painting!

Dan Snyder
★★★★★

Steve went above and beyond what we expected in every way possible. He asked questions to ensure he understood what we wanted, always stating he wanted us to be happy. Each of my conversations with him over the course of the two weeks he was in our home left no doubt in my mind the integrity and authenticity of his character. We had an awesome experience hiring and working with Golden Rule Painting and I would highly recommend anyone needing some painting done to do the same.
