Hi Art-I just wanted to thank you and your crew again for the terrific paint job you did on our home. The exterior has never looked better!
It was a pleasure to have you and your crew here. We truly appreciated the way you cleaned up and put away everything each night while you were working here. Your knowledge and expertise about painting certainly came through, as well as the pride that you and your crew took in your work.
In two words-great job! Well done! We will definitely be calling you again.

– Rita and Dick Scott, Weems, Va.

We have lived on the Northern Neck for sixteen years. After having our house power washed a couple of times over the years we knew it was time for it to be painted! It’s not easy to find competent people so we were delighted to find Art Gustus and The Professional Brush. What dedication to excellence!!!!! He said he would start on a certain date and end within a two week period. He was true to his word and was on site every day of the process. Art and the crew were so pleasant and willing to please! They went above and beyond to provide service. We would highly recommend Art and his crew and he will certainly get a call when we need our next paint job.

– Kathy and Mike Broderick, White Stone, Va.

The Professional Brush team was simply exceptional. My wife and I repeatedly commented on the quality of their work and the professionalism of the entire crew. Art Gustus took exceptional care of every little detail. In addition, he also went the extra mile to address the unanticipated. What a great company and team to deal with. We highly recommend them.

Art
Thank you for the “good job” you and your men, Ralph, Tyron and Terrence, did in painting my house and decking. It was a pleasure observing a professional team at work. I realize it was a big job, but you made it look easy with your “Professional Brush” approach; plan, prepare and execute as a unit, with the Leader engaged everyday. I have recommended you to others and will continue to do so, with confidence. I look forward to your continued assistance in keeping Adventure Headquarters in shape. Best. TQ

– Thomas D. Quinn, Lancaster, Va.

To Dear Art, I am writing to thank you and your crew for the wonderful painting you completed on our house. The professionalism, immaculate job in the final product and clean up was so greatly appreciated.You were on time, kept me up to date on the process and completion date and did additional work to make the final product perfect. I could not be more pleased or satisfied and will always go to you for any additional work needed in the future.
Thank you again. Everything looks great and you made the process so easy with your knowledge and skill.

– Holly & Lee Archard, White Stone, Va.

Mr. Art Gustus and his team at The Professional Brush did a terrific job painting a bedroom at my home recently. They arrived when they said they would, were courteous and very professional, did an outstanding job of painting which saved me an entire weekend of work, and did all of it at a very reasonable price. I could not have asked for a better experience and I would highly recommend their services. The name says it all!

– John O’Shaughnessy, White Stone, Va.

I would like to thank you and your team for a job “well done”! The Professional Brush is a good name for your company. From beginning to end, a truly professional job at a very fair price. As the son of a painter, I grew up in a family where quality workmanship was a part of my core education. “Any job worth doing is worth doing well”, and, “preparation is 90% of excellence” are both phrases that evoke my dad’s image a half a century ago. When you and I met, my impression was of a man who held these same values. More importantly, the team you have assembled obviously believes as you do and delivers on your promise.
I am happy to recommend The Professional Brush to anyone who values proper preparation, quality painting finish, on time and hassle free that is reasonably priced.

– Bill Turenne, Lancaster, Va.

We highly recommend The Professional Brush. Mr. Gustus and his crew did a fantastic job and we feel lucky that he was recommended to us. We have had trouble finding competent and reliable services in the Northern Neck in the past and our faith is restored that there are still companies out there that take pride in their work.

– Roy & Barbara Sutton, White Stone, Va.

I recommend Art Gustus, doing business as “The Professional Brush”, for all your residential and commercial painting needs. My wife and I recently purchased a new home in Irvington that needed re-painting of all interior spaces. This was a significant project in terms of time and materials.
We have lived in the Northern Neck for over twenty years and have had difficulty in the past finding skilled painting contractors. A friend gave us Art’s name and praised his painting abilities, so we decided to give him a try. We were not dissappointed. Art arrived at our home on time and; in a business suit, no less, and provided a detailed estimate for the work requested.
Art and his crew began the work on schedule and completed the project on time as promised. He is a true professional and a skilled painter who is mindful of the need to leave the job sight clean and free of paint residual. He stays in the lines. He and his talented crew were a pleasure to work with. They restored my faith in what painters are capable of accomplishing. Many thanks for a job well done!

– David & Chris Bresett, Irvington, Va.

It is my pleasure to highly recommend “The Professional Brush” (owned by William A. Gustus, Jr.) for exterior or interior painting. Mr. Gustus let me know daily when to expect the workers and they were ALWAYS here at the said time. They wasted no time in starting their work, completing the jobs and being very particular in cleaning up each time. All men were professional and hard working GENTLEMEN! When the job was finished and they pulled from the driveway, nothing was left but the beautiful work of The Professional Brush crew! THANKS!

– Nancy Wetherington, Weems, Va.

The porch looks GREAT! Many Thanks!

– Kay & Mick Micklem, Lancaster Co.

Awesome company! Their work is very precise and neat. Everyone was professional and very hard workers. My mothers house and windows look new. Wonderful group of guys and will definitely recommend this company. They are not just “painters”; they are professionals and proud of their work! Job well done!!

– M.Noirot, Middlesex Co.

Mr. Gustus and his crew were friendly and professional and did an awesome job painting our branch. We were also impressed by the way the crew made sure everything was cleaned up at the end of each day. They were very courteous and thoughtful towards us and our customers. We would definitely recommend Mr. Gustus and his crew to anyone looking for a high quality paint job and professional and caring team. Thanks!

– Chesapeake Bank, Lightfoot Branch

Our home was well overdue for new paint and we had to bring in a contractor for repairs to our siding and trim.  Art and his crew worked seamlessly with the contractor’s crew, ensuring all of the work was completed quickly and professionally.  I think the word that best applies to our impression of Art is:  ‘professional.’

Being retired, I was especially grateful that Art and his crew arrived at a reasonable hour and worked a full day.  Next time around, we won’t hesitate before calling ‘The Professional Brush.’  Our home today looks better than it did the day we moved in.

– Bob Prescott

Dear Art, Thanks for the paint job you did on the exterior of my house. Your price was competitive; the workmanship excellent; You executed expeditiously, and you left my property clean and undamaged. I would definitely use your company again. Thanks!

– Norm Smith

Art, Thank you for the wonderful paint job you and your staff did at Chesapeake Bank. You were friendly, professional and a joy to be around.  Our customers love the color and say it’s a breath of fresh air walking in the door. I will definitely use you in the future and recommend you to anyone that has painting needs. 

– Melissa D. Loudermilk, Branch Manager, Chesapeake Bank

Art Gustus and his expert crew have painted virtually all of our house on the Bay–the exterior and most of the interior.  We could not be more pleased with the quality of the work and the thoroughly professional way it was carried out.  From the beginning, with getting estimates, to the end, with the completion of all work in a timely manner and the confirmation that everything was done as agreed and done right, the experience of working with Art and The Professional Brush was a pleasure.  We are both involved professionally in the visual arts, and we look at things with critical eyes and sure recognition of what constitutes a job well done–The Professional Brush does not disappoint!

– Franklin & Houston Kelly, Pond House

The name says it all!  Mr. Gustus and his crew were professional, polite, prompt and did a fantastic job on our Community Center!  Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond expectations were very much appreciated.   The job was completed in a timely manner and the results were amazing!

– Joyce Wolfe, Hills Quarter Community Manager

I very much want to give a review for the excellent job you have done for us at Atherston Hall in Urbanna. Thank you for working so seamlessly around my busy Bed and Breakfast business – I was so impressed by the quiet that prevailed while you were all working and the care that you took with making sure everything was cleared up so well at the end of the day! The house trim looks wonderful! Thank you. 

– Judith Dickinson

 

My husband and I highly recommend Art and his team. Both my brothers used The Professional Brush as well. We had the interior of our house painted while we were out of town the month of January. They are trustworthy and professional. Art matched the colors perfectly and the finished job exceeded my expectations. He even made labels for the leftover paint cans indicating the color, sheen, and room the color was used.

– Joni Dowling, Reedville, Va.

The Professional Brush team recently repaired the drywall and painted the entire interior of my new home.  Owner, Art Gustus, and his friendly, courteous team are outstanding.  During a time of personal stress, Art was the calm within the storm.  He went above and beyond, left my home neat and tidy every day (even before I moved in), was on time and on budget, and provided absolutely beautiful, high-quality work.  Art went so far as to reattach a shutter that blew off during a storm!  Art’s craftmanship is unparalleled and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

– Garet Powers, Topping, Va.

Art Gustus and his team are the most professional painters I’ve ever dealt with. Art is a consummate professional—he is meticulous, detail-oriented, fair in his pricing, and thoroughly committed to providing a great result and overall satisfaction. We had such a good experience with Art and his team; he does what he says he’s going to do, on time and on budget, and with A+ results. And he’s a great communicator…he keeps you involved every step of the way. I’m picky and hard to please…and I’m a great fan of Art Gustus and his company The Professional Brush. I wholeheartedly recommend them for all your painting needs

– Chris & Meg Holden, Irvington, Va.

Art Gustus and crew really enjoy their jobs and it shows in their work. I found the company on the Internet and after having read all the glowing reviews, we had Art give us a quote. The Professional Brush came to work on our home almost within days of our quote. The entire interior of our 2,000 sq. ft. home went from drab to happy especially during those gray rainy days when everything seems dismal. Even our laundry room seems inviting. They are both respectful, earnest and hard working and had great patience with supporting our needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Professional Brush. Thank you guys for a job well done.
