“I received a letter from our HOA requesting us to paint our gate and the front area around the garage door.
They were giving me three weeks to have this completed. Of course I went to Yelp to look for painters. I received 3 different quotes but then I hit the jackpot "IE Painting"! Eric was able to come by my house in 2 days to give me a quote. He arrived earlier than expected, which I appreciated. He took a quick look and provided a spectacular quote which was too good to pass up, especially after receiving the other quotes.
Eric is such a nice, honest and a man of his word. When he says he will do something he follows through. His is an amazing communicator and provided me the details for the project and kept me informed of when he will start the project, which was a day after I received the quote:) He completed the project in a few hours and we are happy campers, we will be more happier when we get the HOA off our backs, lol

I highly recommend IE Painting, Eric is the best!”

"I would highly recommend IE Painting. Eric and Scotty did a wonderful job with painting our home. I am very pleased with how nice the house looks now.

They are very professional, reliable and reasonable. Five stars.”

“IE Painting has excellent communication and response time, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience!”

“I highly recommend them! Eric and his team were fantastic throughout the entire process. From the start, Eric was incredibly responsive and attentive to my needs. They finished the entire interior house paint ahead of schedule and at a very reasonable price. Punctuality was never an issue, as they always arrived on time and ready to work. They also left the place spotless, ensuring a clean and tidy finish after the job. I'm thrilled with their work, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for any future projects. Truly a great experience!”

"Third time's the charm! Hurray, we got our house painted! Our first attempt to paint our house ended up with our neighbors calling the police - because the painters got into a fight in our yard! On our second attempt, we booked a painter who told us what paint to buy from Sherwin Williams. Got the Sherwin Williams Duration paint - about $950 worth - scheduled the job, and waited, and waited for the painter who never showed! Fast forward, years later when we decide to try again. Checked YELP to find the top painters and got the top five to come and give us quotes that ranged from $3,000 to $19,000 for our two-story house.

After meeting everyone and receiving the quotes, we selected IE Painters. From the get-go, Eric had a positive attitude, was prompt in following up, was a good communicator, and transparent in giving us updates as we went along.

Included: pressure washing, light sanding, spot primer for all prepped areas, caulking of windows and frames, two coats of paint either by spraying or hand painting, and daily clean up. Work was done Monday through Friday and on the weekend, he would remove the plastic sheeting from the windows and take down any scaffolding if it blocked the access to the house.

Pros: Eric and Scotty started promptly at 7 am - 3 pm, cleaned up after themselves every day, never played loud music that would disturb the neighbors, didn't smoke, and spoke professionally and courteously at all times! (No swearing!) They patched holes, gave suggestions on color, and let us know a month ahead of time when they would get to our job. He has all of the ladders, scaffolding, drop cloths, and equipment needed. Big plus was that he said the Sherwin Williams paint was still good - it is a quality paint that was kept in a cool place and sealed, and so was still good! That helped to save us some money. Also when Tropical storm Linda was approaching, Eric came on his off day and removed all scaffolding and equipment and secured it so it wouldn't cause any damage.

Cons: long wait time as they are so popular! He did tell us in advance and before giving us a quote that he was booked solid for roughly 6 months, but we agreed to meet, as he was transparent in that he couldn't get to our job until he fulfilled his jobs for others. We put our $500 deposit down in February and got the house painted in August.

Cost was $5200 and he used our existing paint! This was a huge plus as some of the other painters wanted to pick up the paint on their own, and probably charge us a mark up. Eric was up-and-up about using it and was happy to help us stay on target. Our house is on a hill, is quite high, and is on ground that isn't level. It took 5 working days, including dealing with the remnants of the storm when they couldn't work.

We highly recommend IE Painters and are very happy with how our house turned out! Mahalo Eric and Scotty!"

"We highly recommend IE Painting! Eric and Scotty did an awesome job prepping and painting our home; they have alot of Aloha and are extremely professional -- always on time, detailed-oriented work, very reasonable cost estimate, and great communication. We had initially planned to wait two months for them to paint our house as they were booked up, but they were able to paint it sooner. We will have them paint our home again!"

"My husband and I love to diy everything, but thank god we opted for the pros to do our exterior paint.
Eric and Scott are very efficient, they quoted me within a few days... reasonably priced. We did have to wait a few months to get the job started because they are on high demand but it was worth the wait.
Also very quick and professional with doing the paint of our house. They pressure washed the whole exterior of our home including the driveway and concrete slabs. Always there on time and finished the job within days.
Thanks Eric and Scott for making our home standout!"

"The reviews said it would take a long time to get on Eric's schedule but it would be worth the wait. Here's what actually happened: it took a long time to get on the schedule, and it was worth the wait. Eric and Scott did a great job painting the exterior of our house, and we highly recommend them. We were a little worried about scheduling the job months in advance, but Eric's estimate was very accurate and they actually did the job slightly earlier than he estimated. He even predicted the weather more accurately than the weathermen. Most satisfying paint job we ever got."

"Eric and Scotty are the best. They just finished our house and we couldn't be happier. Professional, punctual, and they go above and beyond. They did a great job with all the prep work and finishing touches. Great attention to detail and ensure everything is done right. Highly recommend to all and their prices are very reasonable. They have a several month wait to get the job done, which is good sign that they are highly sought for their excellent paint service. Thank you, Eric and Scotty!"

"It was such a great experience working with Eric and Scotty. Their quote was very reasonable and they did an excellent job painting the exterior of our house. They were very responsive with the quote request and any questions we had. They were reliable in showing up on time, very friendly, and cleaned up thoroughly after themselves. They had a 6 month wait time but it was well worth it. They were such a pleasure to work with and extremely professional and personable. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who asks."

"I usually don't write reviews but I wanted to give a shout out to IE Painting!!! Eric, Scotty and Dale did a fabulous job painting my two story home. Always professional and cared about the quality work they did. I'm grateful for finding them! I'm definitely calling them again in 7 years when I have to repaint."

"They get 10 stars from me. They are super! From the very moment I requested a quote I received a call from Eric to schedule an appointment for him to come by and look at our home. Received a quote via email and I immediately booked. I had to wait 2 months but the wait is worth it. They started on time at 7 am or earlier, they told us exactly what they would be doing each day, they are FRIENDLY, HARD WORKING(only 2 of them), CLEAN UP AFTER EACH DAY, and FINISHED ON TIME. It made our old, old, old home look brand new! Here's pictures to prove it! I told them I would call them again if I need any painting job done when we build on our front lot! That's how awesome they are!"

"SUPERB VALUE FOR THE $.

We had Eric and Scotty repaint the exterior of our house and finish an exterior ceiling. We are extremely pleased with the results on both. These guys are in high demand so you may have to wait a month or two, but they are worth it. They are PROMPT (every morning they were here ready to start at precisely 7:00am), quick, and polite. I certainly recommend them!

We got quotes from several different companies and decided to go with IE Painting. For reference, our house is approximately 2000' sq feet and was finished in 1953 - it has quirks and LAYERS of paint. Our first couple quotes were WELL OVER $10k, not including paint and supplies. We weren't looking for the Sistine Chapel. Paint new tan on existing and dark blue over a dark brown. Paint the inside ceiling flat white. Plus, since it is pre-1070s and likely covered in lead based paint, you can't sand so imperfections are going to stay imperfect. My parents on the mainland had their 3000 sq ft house painted for $5k so I was in sticker shock.

Eric was awesome in the bid process and was VERY competitive on price. When I went to pick our colors, the sales person at the paint store - rhymes with Erwin Shilyams - was pushing an upgraded paint. I asked Eric if the higher $ paint was worth the money and instead of pushing an up-charge, he told me to stick with the cheaper paint because it would last as well if not longer in our environment - we are close to the water.

Eric and Scotty power washed the entire house, scraped loose paint, caulked, sprayed a rust inhibitor and spray painted the majority of the house to ensure a smooth finish. He even had Scotty hand paint around my newly built hardwood deck - just to ensure the new varnish didn't get covered in paint overspray.

We are definitely glad we waited for IE Painting."

"Super professional! House looks the best it ever has! Work was done fast, with amazing detail, and at a fair price. Eric and Scotty are the ones for you! You will not be disappointed."

"OUTSTANDING!!!
I just had my house painted by Scotty abd Eric and they did an outstanding job. In addition,Eric fixed my roofing which was lifting around the edges for a very reasonable cost. Scotty was there everyday and did such a wonderful job that I have been receiving compliments since.
I would highly recommend this company to friends and family and plan to use them again in the future."

"Awesome job! Cleaned up daily. Great customer service. I recommend this company for all your painting needs. It was worth the wait."

"I don't know where to begin so I will start with Awesome! They were on time for their quote and showed up promptly at their start time on both days. The were fast, friendly, and super professional. They also were accommodating when I asked if they could paint another area and adjust the quote. I loved that they also take VENMO. They provided written estimates that were super helpful in us budgeting. They were true gems! When they left they cleaned up their areas etc.. Their painting skills were awesome. They are barnone one of the best I have seen! Mahalo Eric and Team you all were phenomenal! **As soon as we lock down the estimates for our car port repairs.. You will be my only stop for our external painting!"

"Roger and Karen in Niu Valley
After receiving several painting bids to paint the exterior of our house, we are so thrilled that we decided to go with IE painting. Eric and Scotty have been in the business for a couple of decades and work well together, are extremely punctual, tidy, kind, professional and do exceptional work. They were so great to have around, it was like having family. We would highly recommend them and already have to some neighbors.
Thanks to you, Eric and Scotty, for making this such a great process."

"Eric and Scotty were referred to us by our neighbors. They first came and painted the exterior of our house a year ago and did an excellent job!
After our interior renovations were done, we decided to call IE Painting again. At first we were a little worried they were going to stain our new plush carpet and vinyl flooring, but they were VERY CAREFUL. We were glad they used top quality paint. They do an awesome job at sanding, caulking, staining, spraying, and painting! They even completed the job within the time frame they told us.
The two gentlemen have a lot of experience under their belt. Both are very friendly and easy to talk to. They were very accommodating painting and retouching all the areas we wanted. They went above and beyond what we expected! Give them a chance, you won't regret it!

Mahalo Eric and Scotty!"

"Really appreciate the friendly estimate, ease of communication. Great paint job on my Foster Village home, on time, friendly and professional, doing a great prep and paint to my car port and house. Plus Eric likes rabbits."

"So years later and we had a tragedy. A house fire burned part of our property down. Eric and team came and sanded down the part that did not burn, repainted and it looks like new again! Thank you IE Painting, you guys rock!"

Previous Review: "He is a busy guy - but now I know why! We got several bids, but Eric had all the details covered in his bid that made the difference - it was not the lowest bid, but not much higher though. Between the 5 star reviews and the details we discussed I knew he was the one! We fought the weather with there being some rain but his team was on time and they did a fantastic job! My house looks like new! I would use IE Painting again in a heartbeat."

"Buying a house is a stressful process. Particularly when your husband schedules painters and movers before the closing actually takes place.

We were on a pretty tight timeframe from close to when we were scheduled to move in and after getting multiple quotes we selected Eric's team. We couldn't believe how quickly they got the job done, not to mention how good it looked."

"Excellent service and highly recommended - Our house was built in 1952, Coconut Grove area in Kailua - our house (according to our neighbors) had not been worked on since the 1960s. Lots of chipping paint, bare wood, wood rot, mold, missing wood, fuzzy wood from sea breeze..... The list goes on. Eric and his team totally transformed it in to a beautiful home during their time here, not only painting it, but repairing wood etc. Very professional and curious to us and to our neighbors (not the kind of construction guys who yell all day blasting radios). Highly recommend."

"To be honest, I rarely take the time to write reviews, however IE Painting's exceptional service, competent work, and competitive pricing is worth noting. Eric is quick to respond. They are timely, neat, and professional. We will hire them to paint the interior of our home. Highly recommend. They are booked 6 months out so call today!"

"Just like the other reviews here I couldn't be more pleased. Had to wait four months for him but it was worth it. Easy to communicate with both Eric and Scotty, they were fun to be around, and did a great job for a fair price. What more can you ask? And to boot they have great taste in reggae music!

Would recommend these guys wholeheartedly to anyone."

"I would recommend Eric for any paint job you need, whether interior, exterior or both! Eric has painted my house twice, as well as, both of my rental properties. He gets his quotes out quickly and professionally. It amazes me at how punctual he is and how quick he is to get a job done. He gets there early in the morning and works hard until the afternoon. He makes sure everything is done correctly and the outcome is always beautiful! I had the pleasure of meeting Scotty the last time they painted my home and he was just as hardworking and professional as Eric. Both are also very friendly and personable. His schedule can be packed because they are that good, but their finished product is worth the wait. I promise!"

"Eric and Scotty are the most professional painters my wife and I have ever met. Their quality of work is superior and when they say they will be there, you can rely on them being there. Eric and Scotty finished painting the exterior of our home and it looks amazing.... like a new house. Our neighbors have already begun requesting quotes to have painting done by Eric and Scotty.

Thank you Eric and Scotty"

"The best service I have ever received! Eric and Scotty are true artists with attention to detail like I have never seen before! He has a long waiting list but trust me they are worth the wait! They were on time, considerate, cleaned up after themselves and didn't miss anything. No doubt I would hire them again."

"I highly recoomend Eric for any painting job you need! I inquired more than 10 painting companies and Eric showed up on time and responded to my messages and emails promptly so it was an obvious choice for us to pick IE. Being born and raised in Japan, I have very high expectations when it comes to professionalism and puncuality, and Eric and Scotty not only met my standard, but they also exceeded it. They were supposed to take 5 days to paint the exterior of my entire house, but they only took 3 days (and it looks perfect!!) They offered to paint areas that were not on the contract for free too. I would love to see more local businesses like IE. Our local community would be stronger and thrive!"

"Polite, professional, and punctual. On top of that, Eric's painting of our catio was fast, top-notch, and reasonably priced. With quality like that, you need to plan ahead and get on Eric's schedule. He is that busy because he really is that good. Mahalo, Eric!"

"I received 8 proposals/bids to paint my home. IE Painting was neither the high or low bid. There proposal was the most comprehensive and along with their positive reviews were the reasons I chose them.
GREAT decision on my part!
I couldn't be more pleased, they scored 5 stars in all aspects:
Results.
Clean up.
Above and beyond what they promised.
Eric and Scott were Terrific to work with.
They truly care about their work and your satisfaction."

"We had Eric and his crew paint our new house... couldn't have asked for a better experience with painters.

We had multiple quotes on a somewhat sizeable space, and Eric's came in for a better price than the others and included the paint!

He gave us a timeline and met it exactly- even with having to shorten by one day due to factors beyond our control. He is an absolute joy to work with and is very amicable and easy going, yet gets the job done on time.

I was actually amazed that they were able to finish so fast.

I highly recommend having Eric and his team bid on your next interior or exterior paint job. He is quick, efficient, professional and produces quality work."

"I.E. Painting has painted both our Interior and Exterior surfaces of our home. This company has been most professional, always on time, their prep and clean up exceptional, always going above and beyond, Eric and Scotty are some of the best!"

"Five stars in every regard. Eric replied to my request for a quote the same day I left a message. The estimate was fair, and most important, the quality of the work was outstanding.
I would not hesitate to use him again."

"Eric and crew are the best. Lean and mean. In and out. Best painters we have ever hired. They squeezed us in for a challenging job on a largish residence that presented a lot of issues with painting (it had not been painted in a long time), and had a few odd surfaces. They nailed it utterly, include working around a crazy schedule situation that other contractors were creating. Good attention to detail. I'd describe their work as super-premium for a good price. The main thing: They show up (Kama'ainas know from whence I speak). They are scheduled tightly, but somehow managed to work us in, even when we required exceptional flexibility. Highest recommendation."

"This is my very first Yelp review because I am so happy with my choice of using IE Painting. After searching Yelp and Angie's List for an exterior painter, I noticed IE Painting would be at or near the top of the list. Called Eric for an estimate, he promptly came that weekend, since his jobs are during the weekday. I had a wood rot problem on the support beam of my 2nd floor stairs. Eric was the only bid to not recommend a replacement of 2 to 3 vertical support posts, others wanting to charge $2k to $3k to repair. Eric didn't feel there was a support issue and just cleaned and filled the hole, on a weekend before he started the painting. The painting started about 2 months after accepting his bid, which was a fair price, since they (Eric and Scotty) are so busy with jobs (not surprised, due to their quality of work). I was amazed of how fast they painted my home, just taking a total of 4 days, 1 day to clorox wash the home, 3 days to paint with 2 coats, on a 2 story home! They are extremely friendly, even covered a neighbor's car in case of over spray when painting. Eric noticed a stair board step rotten and replaced it without charging me extra! I highly recommend IE Painting!"

"Stellar service. We needed to repaint our home's exterior, and Eric and Scotty were super-professional in every way imaginable. Great communication, careful and detailed-oriented work, always on time, and very pleasant to deal with. Highly recommended. Actually, highest recommendation possible. We will definitely call them again when we do the interior."

"Eric and Scotty did a great job painting our house. They provided an estimate promptly that was fair and reasonable. They really work efficiently and provide professional service from start to finish. Paint job looks great and we really appreciated the extra services they provided like pressure washing our driveway and carport. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others."

"If you are looking for a reliable and quality painter, look no further than IE Painting - Eric is by far one of the best I have ever worked with and I have worked with a few.
Great job, great service, goes above and beyond!!"

"I can not say enough great things about Eric and Scotty. I found them on Angie's list as they were the highest rated painters on the list. They lived up to their excellent reputation and then some. I have a challanging house to paint in Manoa, plus dealing with the rain is an added challange. They showed up early for work every day. They worked hard all day never wasting any time (and my money). And most of all, the quality of the work they did is of the highest caliber. My house looks beautiful. One last thing, Eric was true to his bid. There were no hidden costs or surprises when it came time to pay. I will definitely use them time and time again when I have to repaint my house. *as a side note, two of my neighbors noticed what a great job IE Painting did on my house and now he is going to paint their houses also."

"Eric and Scotty are the best! Professional from beginning to end, on-time, on schedule (finished early) and were pleasant even we made some last minute changes. Our house looks great and we couldn't be happier. Will not hesitate to use them in the future."

"Eric and Scott just painted our entire house near Maili Point inside and out and did a BEAUTIFUL and thorough job. We could not be more pleased with their work and with their demeanor - these guys are consummate professionals and I'd recommend to anyone looking for honest, quality work. They won't stop until the job is done and done right! Easy to work with and practically part of the family. Place looks better than the day we bought it. Thanks Eric!"

"Hard working, very competent, a pleasure to have around, and our house turned out great. They gave us good advice along the way, and detail work was excellent. They have my highest recommendation."

"Eric Van Natta and Scott Ho are excellent painters who showed great expertise, professionalism, and efficiency when painting our house. He was accurate with his time frame of when he could schedule us in, and was even a few days early. I had gotten 5 quotes and his was the most reasonable. I would have still used him though, even if his estimate was higher, as he was friendly, knowledgeable, seemed trustworthy, and even offered us some free advice on what to look for even if we didn't select him. Everyday he and Scott showed respect for the area, myself, and each other. They were very tolerant of my puppy that ate through a few paint rollers, and they always left the area clean and tidy. I can't find a single spot on the house that they missed, and the lines are very clean, and detail work very accurate. I would recommend IE Painting to anyone. I hope they are around in 10 years when it's time to repaint again."

"Eric and Scotty did a wonderful job on my house. They were so nice the whole time they were here so polite they answered all my questions they were so efficient they started on a Monday and they finished on Wednesday. They did a wonderful job. My mother came by to pick up something from my house and she called me just to tell me what a wonderful job they did my mother also had her house done by IE PAINTING, I have a two-story house in KAPAHULU and they also did my fence and my sundeck. It did such a wonderful job. I can’t say good things about IE PAINTING and I would highly recommend them for anybody who wants to paint their house."
