Bob, Seattle
"This was probably the best experience I have had with any contractor in my 34 years as a homeowner. E.T. Painting left my 85 year-old home looking better than any in the neighborhood. Emir is a true perfectionist and it shows in the finished product.”
Barbara, Lake Forest Park
"We are so fortunate to have found E.T. Painting. We only wish Emir came in other forms such as a plumber, electrician or carpenter. We would use him for all purposes.”
Shaun Reynolds, Seattle
"I have known Emir from ET Painting for several years. He has worked on both my home and my office. Previous to knowing Emir I had underwent several remodels both at my office and different homes. I can say without a doubt that Emir is the most detail oriented, fast, considerate and talented painter I have worked with. If that sounds expensive you would be wrong in this case. He is also the most fairly priced. I quit getting comparison bids long ago because he always came in as the best deal. ET painting is a family owned and operated business (I like that too). I give Emir and his family a 10/10!"

"We remain extremely happy with the results of your work, as we were were throughout the entire process. You provided us with a bid that was more than fair, gave us excellent advice about the scope of the job and provided the service exactly as promised: on time and on budget. Most significantly, when it became apparent that the amount of work required to complete our project was more than was bid, you kept to your original agreement and still finished the project on time and with a tremendous attention to detail and quality. Oh, and the house looks great!"
Ben Owen, Seattle
"My name is Ben Owen. Emir worked for me for several years before starting his own company of ET Painting. In all of my life I have not encountered another painter, or worker like Emir Tojaga. He is the most competent and diligent worker I have ever met. He is simply a machine. He is always the first on the job and the last to leave. He is focused unwaveringly on the task at hand and never seems to slow down. He takes few breaks, and I have never known him to take a day off in all of the years I have known him. He is highly skilled and abundantly proficient at whatever he undertakes from carpentry to painting. I have often been amazed at both the speed and quality of his work. His familiar response to any task assigned him; no matter how difficult or unappealing was always a cheerful “no problem.” I have followed Emir and his company over the years since and virtually all that he has contracted with have been exceedingly satisfied with his timeliness, his attitude, his diligence and the consistent high quality of his work. On the personal side Emir is a steadfast father and husband to his two great children and his wife, and a dedicated supporter of his family back in Bosnia. Losing Emir from our company was a great and irreplaceable loss, but it is very good to see that he has done well with his own company of ET Painting. I cannot recommend Emir more highly. I am confident that he will continue to exceed the expectations of all that employ him and his company."

"We had our house painted by ET Painting in the fall of 2009 and I would categorize the experience as nothing short of fabulous.
Not only does the house (and deck) look great, the price was much more reasonable than I expected and the work went very smoothly. The house needed quite a bit of prep work and we were amazed not only at how thorough the work was, but how quickly it was done and how professional and gracious Emir and his son were. I can’t put into words how much it meant to me that they were so easy to work with which includes being extremely kind and patient with my 85 year-old mother who was at home during the work – in fact, she still mentions how happy she is with the house and what a delightful experience it was!
Not only did they clean up every day, they gave it what seemed like150% at all times. That includes working on some of the hottest days Seattle has ever experienced as well as working with a wasp sting due to an infestation problem at the house that I did not address prior to them coming out. They were also very flexible and understanding when I changed colors on them in the middle of the job. I know it impacted their other jobs but they just came earlier and stayed later and I was never made to feel like it was any inconvenience. By the way, the new color (suggested by Emir) is much better than the one I had originally requested!
Based on our experience (and the experiences of others we know who have used ET), it is very obvious that work ethic and courtesy are extremely important to all at ET since I found the same positive experience when working with Mirela at the office. I have 26 years of Nordstrom Customer Service experience under my belt so I probably have high expectations. Having said that, we will definitely contact ET again when the need arises for any kind of painting (indoor or outdoor) and have already recommended them to friends! "
John and Terry, Seattle
"ET Painting came highly recommended by our friends. Prior to contacting Emir, I met with our architect to get advice on a unique window which needed extensive repair work on the intricate frame. The architect said it would be cost prohibitive to replace and suggested that the window be removed and replaced with wood siding to match the rest of the house.
I called Emir for an estimate. When I showed him the window (which had mushrooms growing from it), he said that the window could be saved.
Emir was hired. His prep work was exemplary as was his meticulous painting and attention to detail. We were very pleased with the outcome-including his fixing the “mushroomed” window (which still looks great). And it was all done ahead of schedule.
The following year we asked him to paint the exterior of our small summer home outside of LaConner. We expected it would be more costly due the distance from Seattle, and the fact that it would include six colors. The total cost was reasonable especially for all the work Emir completed.
Not only did he do the painting, he also did some finishing work the carpenter left undone. By doing so the project was completed earlier than anticipated.
He pressure washed and stained a ten year old 300 foot fence that was in disrepair. Several neighbors commented on our “beautiful brand new fence.”
Emir did most of the work during the week while we were in Seattle. Many neighbors came by to comment on the thoroughness and equality of his work saying that they’d never seen such a hard worker. (We agree!)
My husband said, “I wish everyone was as reliable as Emir.”
Emir is a pleasure and a treasure to work with. We highly recommend him and the quality work he provides."
