APR Inc. Architectural Painting & Renovation

The folks at APR changed the color of our kitchen cabinets from a brown wood to a nice tan and white. The job turned out even better than we imagined. We were out of town while the work was done but the house was cleaned up and ready to go when we arrived home. The work was first rate. Very artistic.

This company always does a quality, artistic, professional job. They're both creative and perfectionist. I highly recommend them for any remodeling project.

From the moment we met Jon and Alene Petus, we knew we did the right thing. When they arrived at our home, on time I might add, they were friendly and professional. We immediately understood the vast amount of knowledge and experience they have in a variety of areas of home design and construction. We initially met with them to have all the woodwork in our house stripped and refinished a different stain color. They examined our situation carefully and came up with a far superior solution which actually saved us a significant amount of money. Did I say how right they were and how amazingly beautiful it looks? From there, we engaged them to do some very artistic painting in our home on the Bay in Sarasota. They offered creative ideas that have made our home unique and more beautiful than we could have imagined. One of their specialties is the ancient art of Venetian plastering. They suggested a coloration on a high domed ceiling in our very large kitchen that to us looks like the sea. We love it every day. While their knowledge of painting and finishing is vast, creative, and artistic, they have many other talents. Jon, for example, is a great carpenter. I should also note that at the conclusion of a significant amount of painting projects they completed at our home, they provided an organized notebook categorized by room, color, and finish, along with samples of each paint used. This beats rustling through your garage and trying to read paint cans and hoping you're picking the color that was used some years ago. Another invaluable service they have provided to us is the referral of other good and reliable contractors. They have been doing this a long time and have been able to weed through the good ones and the bad ones. Every person or company they have recommended that has done work for us has been excellent. Also, they notice things! For example, Jon made an observation about water runoff that I never would have picked up on. He made a suggestion for its correction and completed it perfectly. They are trustworthy, do what they say they are going to do, and they always have your back. They did most of the work for us while we were absent from our home from long distance. They constantly kept us in the loop by sending photographs and keeping us apprised of their progress. And one of the best parts… They are about the nicest people you will ever meet.

We hired APR when we were remodeling our home a few years ago, as they came highly reccomended. We wanted to do something different with our walls than just the traditional paint, in essence we wanted the "WOW" factor and that's definitely what we got. They worked with us to meet our needs while making suggestions along the way. The painting and architectural work that they do is absolutely amazing. They are very talented. I would highly recommend APR!!! They do incredible work!

I have used APR Inc. for over 15 years and have always been totally satisfied with the outcome. They are very creative and professional whether it is a large job or small. I never have to worry about their performance. Beautiful and innovative finishes on walls and furniture. They always go the extra mile in getting things right!

APR were recommended to us by our interior designer for the paint work that we needed. As well as routine decorating, their work included painting two ceilings in Venetian plaster and some delicate hand painting. They took great care and carried out their work to a very high standard and on time. I recommend them highly,

This husband and wife team turned the walls of our newly acquired condo into a masterpiece. The venetian plaster finish glows with the eye-catching finish. Each guest wants to know how it was done and who did it much like a painting in an art museum. Another important aspect is the ability to visualize the final result before the project starts helping to choose the correct finish appropriate for the surface, considering the room lighting, size of the wall and other wall finishes. No need to worry about clean-up. At the end of each day's work tools are carefully put away and the floors are made spotless. Do not let the price scare you. The amount of work involved required many days back-breaking work.
