Exterior Painting - Aluminum Siding. We can’t thank Michael enough for the work he put into our house. What a crazy transformation. Thank you for all the TLC you gave our home. We’re so glad we hired him for the job. He will not leave until his customers are happy. Will hire again for future paint jobs.
Very very professional company, I would recommend this company to anyone they did an excellent job on my home. Plan on using them for all painting situations moving forward.
Omg he is great and fast will definitely call him for all my paint projects
Professional, affordable, and very happy with end result. My family planned on painting the entire house ourselves which would have taken weeks but Micheal had it done in 3 days and we couldn’t be happier.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Coolrunning Painting. Reasons 1) Was prompt & very professional when he came to my home to do a walk through of the job. 2) Quoted the price, sent a text (my choice Mike Perkins can text or email) for my confirmation or if I decided not to proceed. 3) ON TIME! 4) He covered everything, not a drop of paint anywhere! 5) He patched areas that I had not pointed out or I was not aware. 6) Day 1 prep and started job. Mike provided a very detailed overview of what was done and the end of the work day. 7) I have high ceilings, an open living-dining area, entry way, upstairs landing, family room, stairways, and walls the job was complete on Day 2. 8) Day 3 Mike surveyed the work, touched up where necessary and showed me what he did. 9) Swept to remove the dust from when he sand to smooth everything and remove the dust 10) AND ALL AROUND PROFESSIONAL! If you need a painting service call Coolrunning Painting!
I had a great experience with Michael of Cool Runnings Painting. I took a chance as I randomly found him on a google search. I don’t regret it at all. He did an awesome job and I look forward to working with him again. I highly recommend him for your painting projects as well.
Michael transformed my townhome with his exceptional painting skills and attention to detail.

His dedication to quality craftsmanship is evident in every stroke of paint and every repair completed. Beyond his technical abilities, Michael's work ethic is exemplary. He approaches every task with a commitment to excellence, ensuring that each job is completed to the highest standard. What sets him apart is his trustworthy nature and genuine care for his clients' satisfaction. He communicates effectively throughout the project, addressing any concerns promptly and making sure that every aspect meets my expectations. I highly recommend Michael for any painting or home repair needs. His professionalism, integrity, and skill make him a standout contractor, and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
Coolrunnings painting did a amazing job fixing the hole in my bedroom wall to where it look like nothing had happened amazing! Also they did a great job in putting up my well mount and my 75in tv... The Price was good and reasonable and affordable. I really appreciate the work they did and if I need any more assistance I will give coolrunnings painting a call!!! Thanks again!!!
Michael painted 2 large bathroom vanities. Very pleased with the job. Highly recommend!
Michael is the best painter you could find. He came to do painting work on my apartment after my main contractor truly messed it up. Michael was diligent, made sure surfaces are cleaned and well prepared and his work is meticulous and precise. The bonus - he has great taste and you can get good advise about color and shades. Highly recommended!
Outstanding job on kitchen cabinets, walls and ceiling. Fast service. Michael Perkins is a perfectionist who takes pride in his craft. Very pleased and will use again.
I am in the process of completing a renovation. Michael was referred to me by a close friend and I could not be more grateful for the referral because he is the best painter that I have ever encountered. His work is meticulous. He prepared all the surfaces to be painted so that the result was a smooth wall with no particles or bumps. He covered all the surfaces that had to be protected so that there were no paint drippings on countertops, etc. When the work was finished, everything was cleaned up and left in good order. Also, his pricing is very reasonable. Contact Michael and I promise that you will not be disappointed.
Michael, painted the entire house, in a few days. It was a new construction, he was very clean and did an amazing job. He was on time and went above and beyond to complete the project for us. We will definitely be using him again.
We hired Michael for the first time to sand and paint older framing sections of our new deck. He was on time and very professional. He did an amazing job! We will definitely be hiring him again! 😊
I had been searching for some time for a reliable professional painter and I stumbled upon Coolrunnings painting on google. I called and was able to schedule Micheal immediately which was great. He painted my living room and hallways. He did a fantastic job and the price was reasonable. I’ve included the before and after for my hallway
Michael and his team did an amazing job at my Montclair home. He painted and repaired my plaster walls and ceilings after an electrical upgrade. He was fast, reliable, clean and punctual. Overall he had a great demeanor and work ethic. I will definitely be hiring him for my kitchen and bathroom renovation when it comes time to be redone. He was also very reasonably priced.
I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and paid incredible attention to detail. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and they treated my home with care, leaving everything clean when the job was done. The paint looks flawless, and the transformation is amazing. If you're looking for a reliable painting company that delivers top-quality work, I highly recommend them. I will definitely be using them again for future projects!
I hired Michael to paint kitchen cabinets. The cabinets were still strong but outdated. Other plumbers were charging high prices to spray paint which is the application that I wanted. Others were charging slightly less to do the roller brush method. Michael came out in the middle. He wasn't cheapest nor the most expensive. He listened to what I had to say. From his business social media, I could see the quality of his final work and how he prep and protected surfaces (cabinet interiors) not to be painted. Pricing and see his work is why I hired him. Along the way he shared progress pictures of the doors he was painting as his place. He treated my home with respect and care. I highly recommend him based on his professionalism, pricing compared to other painters and the final output of his work which is amazing.
