Doug Bates Painting was referred to me by a good friend. I was ready to paint my cherry kitchen, laundry and bathroom cabinets. I contacted Doug in the fall, and told him we would be gone from mid January until April 1st. We tentatively scheduled the work to commence in mid January. I wanted to match the trim to the new cabinet paint however, when Doug brought a wood sample we did not feel the color was right. Doug took about 2 mins. to find the correct color in the paint deck and assured me the color would look great.

After being gone for 2 months I walked in and was so pleased with my cabinets and the quality of workmanship and how crisp and clean everything looked. I was sent pictures of the progress and just could not wait to see it in person. They covered my floors and furniture, I never saw a drop of paint. The work was done in a timely manner and if I had a question or called to check on things he or his associates were kind and answered any questions. It did go well and I am thrilled.highly recommend!

Doug and his team did a fantastic job for us. Approximately 10 years or so ago Doug did a beautiful creme color faux finish in our kitchen. We are doing some remodeling and wanted to keep the faux. They matched it perfectly! I would definitely recommend Bates Painting. Service: Faux finishes

Doug and his team are AMAZING! Super polite and professional, and they did a phenomenal job preparing and painting my house. They repaired wood rot and stucco damage, took great care to prepare the area when scraping off lead-based paint, and were all lovely people to boot! Doug worked with me to select test colors, then gave his expert opinion on which of the three would be best.

He even gently guided me away from what, in hindsight, would have been an absolutely hideous door color. John was the point person on my job. He went above and beyond, and was a pleasure to have around. The whole job took about three weeks, so this turned out to be more important than I ever realized. He's a great communicator and kept me in the loop on the process, who was going to be over which day (the house had some severe deferred maintenance issues, so there were multiple carpenters involved), and when they would arrive.

There were no surprises. Except maybe some more wood rot that needed to be addressed; Doug stepped in and explained what needed to be done and what the cost would be. My house is now gorgeous, and the price was well below the other quote I got from a different company. Two of my neighbors have already asked who painted my house-- they saw firsthand the whole process and were also impressed.

We were too late to get on the schedule this year but they were willing to work us in after Thanksgiving when we had a week of nice weather. Very pleased with quality of the work. Services: Door painting, Exterior painting

We could not be any more pleased with the new look in our bedroom, hallway and stairs. The crew was professional, courteous and delightful to have in our home. The work was far beyond what I could have predicted. They did the deep repair work that will make the room look fantastic for years, repairing cracks in the walls of our older house. If you want quality and meticulous care, this is your company. They are also great at advising on what to do if you have questions. And the owners are people of great integrity and warm hospitality!

From start to finish, Doug and his crew were professional, attentive, responsive and talented. The (very reasonable!) quote was the price we paid. Our old gall got a remarkable face lift and we couldn't be more pleased! Service: Exterior painting

Bates Painting did a fantastic job on our remodel. They listened to what I wanted and then put their artistic talent to work. They created two custom color faux looks for the first floor and 1/2 bath. And the distressed country French look they created on our kitchen cabinets is exquisite! They were courteous about cleaning up each day. And their attention to fine detail was impressive. Clearly they take pride in their craft and it shows!

This is the second time we've used Bates Painting Company. Their work is truly outstanding. In addition, to the quality of their work, the staff is very respectful of your space and time. They clean up at the end of each work day and provide you with timeline updates as well as requesting feedback on the work they've completed. I highly recommend this company.

We had the majority of the interior of our home painted by Bates Painting Co. From the beginning, helping us select colors - to clean up and touch up, everything was done perfectly and professionally. We couldn't be happier with how everything went. We've hired painters before but working with Doug and his team is different. I think it's because they are all artists and take their craft very seriously. We highly recommend Bates Painting Co.

I had my master bedroom painted by Bates Painting. The team chose some amazing feminine colors for me and had amazing precision. They are also one of the most professional painting companies in the KC Metro area. Will be using them again when I sell my house! Thank you thank you thank you! Service: Interior painting

Bates Painting Company recently worked in the house I spend a lot of time in. They were very punctual and their work is astounding. The edges are fantastic and their work looks amazing. I would gladly use this service again. The employees that I met were kind, wonderful people. They had an air of professionalism and their design choices are carefully considered. All of their advice is as well thought out and coordinated as can be seen even in the color choices of their jackets.

Bates painting company painted a bedroom for me and it turned out wonderful! It was exactly how I envisioned it, if not better. The team is reliable, super nice, and I was impressed with the level of detail and the color picking by Doug Bates. 10/10 would recommend!

Representative came and gave me the approx price as $5000 for popcorn removal and smooth ceiling pained for my house (~2600 SQFT). Later on I get the email estimate for $8900, when I talked to representative who came. he was talking strange and kind of rude. I think, it's not trustworthy.

Doug and his crews did a fantastic job on our recent exterior painting. Doug helped us with color selection and provided advice on the most cost effective method to achieve a high quality, durable finish. The crews were always on time, friendly and respectful. Bates painting has been doing our paint work for the past 25 years and we've always been very happy with the results.

Doug & company did so well on my house, I asked him to quote then paint my Son and Daughter in laws house. Incredible work. There were three days in a row that were warm enough to paint in late November. He had a crew of 5 or 6 prepping the house, then painting. He had the crew stop paining two hours before dusk so the paint could dry a bit before the chill of night.

I have learned over my 20 years as an interior designer that you can have sub-par cabinetry and an excellent paint job can save them. You can also have quality cabinetry and a sub-par paint job will ruin them. Doug and his team are the painters to give you an excellent finished product that will enhance your woodwork no matter its original condition.

I live in Brookside in a 2.5 story house and wanted a paint job that would reflect the character of the details. I selected a 4 color paint scheme and provided the crew with sketches of what colors were to go where. They were very attentive and got all of the colors exactly like and where I wanted them.

I highly recommend Bates Painting Company. They painted our Dible Tudor last summer. They also did some carpentry work for us and replaced rotten wood siding. The price was reasonable, they are insured, EPA certified, clean, professional, and made sure to keep my neighbors happy.

The project went great. Doug and his crew were fantastic. His crew was made up of four guys who had been with him for many years. They did a fantastic job and the house looks great. Doug provided color suggestions, which I appreciated. He also made sure to provide the color samples our HOA required for review.
