3rd Gen Painting and Remodeling Madison WI

We’re very happy with the work 3rd Gen Painting and Remodeling did on our basement in summer 2019. From the start, they seemed to understand what we were asking for, which was a nice and functional basement (with bedroom, bathroom, bar, and theater area) but not necessarily top of the line. The offer they provided was competitive and in our price range, while other groups we spoke with provided estimates that were 20-30% higher. Matt and his team stayed true to their initial estimate and any time that we opted for something outside of the original contract, Matt was very clear about what the additional cost would be and provided an addendum. They finished the project on time and the quality of work is amazing. Some of the unique things we asked for included - 1) a patterned tile floor in bathroom, 2) wallpaper behind the bathroom vanity for a ‘feature’ wall, 3) brick backsplash behind our bar, and 4) long butcher block bar countertops. One of the things we appreciated most was Matt and Paul’s responsiveness - any time we had concerns/feedback, we were able to get ahold of them that day. They took calls after hours and on the weekend, which was important for us because we both work full time. They were also receptive to concerns or new ideas that came up during the project, and were focused on making us happy with the end result. We’d recommend them and use them in the future, and are happy to elaborate if Matt/Paul use us as a reference.

We chose 3rd Gen because our neighbors recommended them. Matt and his team did a really nice job refinishing our deck and re-screening our porch. The guys worked over 12 hours a day to get the job done. Matt painted a swatch of the color I picked for the porch and when I didn't like it he was happy to bring me more options so that we could choose another color that we really liked. We got another quote as well and their price was right on. We were really happy that we chose them and would recommend 3rd Gen to others.

I was looking for a painter near me in Madison WI to paint the exterior siding of my home and a few interior walls that required drywall repairs. I had been putting these projects off for years but after noticing a few areas of wood rot, I was finally ready to hire someone. I scheduled estimates with some of the bigger painting companies in Madison like genesis painting, thrift painting, braun, and megna painters but didn't really "click" with any of the reps that came out. I had a gut feeling that I might be putting this large project off another year until I stumbled upon 3rd Gen Painting while searching through Madison painter reviews online. I'd never heard of 3rd Gen painting before but after reading their story online and seeing some of their stellar reviews, I filled out one of the price quote forms on their website (half-expecting to never get a response). Within minutes, Matt, the owner, emailed me to set up an estimate time. After playing phone tag with other painters the past few months, I was surprised at how easy it was to set up. Matt stopped by later that week. He was one of the most professional contractors I had ever met. He pointed out multiple areas of wood rot that other painters has missed and described the extensive prep process that his crews would perform. He seemed to really know his stuff! Matt emailed me a very detailed price quote for my project. His prices fell right in the middle of the quotes I had received so far (higher than thrift or braun painting but a bit lower than genesis & megna painting). I decided to finally pull the trigger with 3rd Gen and I could not be happier that I did. Working with Matt and his painting crews was hands-down the best experience I have had with any painting contractors in Madison to date. They showed up on time, finished early, and left my house cleaner that they had found it. The communication was excellent and I was very pleased with quality of the job. We most certainly would recommend 3rd Gen painting to anyone looking for a quality interior or exterior painters in Madison WI. Thank you again for the great work!
