Fouche Painting

Like the classic Portland DIYer, I was on the fence with whether I should try and paint the exterior of my house personally, or hire out the work. I am so happy I came to my senese and hired Matt to tackle this job. I had no idea how much work really went into the process, as evidenced by the days he spent prepping the job. He did a very thorough caulking job to help tighten up my drafty old house, an underappreciated step that I was impressed by. We dialogued about the specifics of the painting process, and he offerered recommendations about what he would do but was very considerate in listening to and respecting what I wanted.
I was very happy with the paint job, he really put in the time to make sure it was spot on. I appreciated that Matt was there doing the painting himself– unlike some bigger companies where the point man sells the project and someone else entirely shows up to do the work. Ultimately I wanted to trust that the person I would hire to undertake such a big and important job would do the work with the same level of care and attention to detail that I would have given the project myself. That’s exactly what I got with Matt, and I’m really grateful for that.

Matt painted the entire interior of our house. The work was exceptional. Matt was professional and friendly, very easy to work with. His bid was detailed and the price reasonable. He worked diligently, steadily, carefully, and cheerfully. I was also doing some work on the house and it was a pleasure to hear him whistling away in another part of the house. He always arrived when he said he would and finished the job, clean-​up and all, in the time he said it would take. A rare gem!

Matt helped us through a stressful time of getting our house ready to sell, on a very tight timeline. Matt was cheerful, professional and accommodating throughout the project. He has a strong work ethic that had him painting our house on a very hot Sunday to meet our time crunch; he also quickly painted two rooms at our new home before our move-​in date (again on a hot weekend).
Matt’s work is detailed and he clearly loves what he does I was so glad to have him help us, the communication was easy and his work quality. So glad we caught Matt for this project we are looking forward to working with him again at our new place!

If you are looking for a hard-​working, detail-​oriented, reasonably priced and local painter, look no further than Matt Fouché. To start, he gave a very detailed bid that included recaulking our windows, sanding and filling holes in the siding, and trimming foliage around the house in addition to actually priming and painting. He was very helpful when consulting about color and gently steered me away from making my house look like a crayon. But most importantly, he is an excellent painter in both technique and the way he organized the job. Matt is a friendly guy, easy to work with, and I could not be happier! Thank you Matt!
