Exterior Painting

"Creations by Brian: A Dream Come True" I've been searching for a reliable painting company for years, and my experience with Creations by Brian has been nothing short of amazing. After years of frustration with other painters, I finally found a company that not only met but exceeded my expectations. Brian and his team were incredibly professional and accommodating from start to finish. They were patient with my picky requests and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. The quality of their work is exceptional, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Creations by Brian to anyone in need of painting services. They are truly the best in the business!

Creations by Brian did an amazing job. Very professional and well done. Would recommend them to anyone!

We love our kitchen! Brian and his crew painted and glazed our old cabinets and they look beautiful! They also painted the wainscotting on two walls and all our old electric heaters. They did a fabulous job on both. Brian and Amber were wonderful to work with, friendly, helpful, flexible and knowledgeable. We really appreciated their timely responses to all our messages and their patience in dealing with our questions and changing wishes. We would whole heatedly recommend Creations By Brian!

We are a residential home in Grand Haven. We have been using Creations by Brian for 10 years, they have pretty much painted our entire home inside and out. They always do great work, cleanup well and pricing is fair. Great company, great values, great people.

Shannon and his team from CBB did a fantastic job on our interior paint. Everyone was so nice and and very easy to work with.

This project included repainting interior doors, trim and some walls, as well as replacing all door hinges and handles. Over the years we have had Creations By Brian do several projects for us, and we're always completely satisfied with the process as well as the finished product. Brian's crews are always a pleasure to deal with: very professional, personable, thorough and just plain enjoyable. This project we had Shannon, Brent, Aaron and Jack who all lived up to our expectations. Well done, guys! We'll be sure to call again for the next project! Judy and Dennis Masson

We were very pleased with the quality of work that was done. They painted the vinyl siding on our cabin and it looks great!

It was Spring of 2022 and time to paint our house. My first stop was Port City Paints. Three highly rated painters were recommended. We chose to work with Creations By Brian and couldn’t have been more pleased. The estimate was very competitive and timeline for completion reasonable. Then came Spring of 2023 and our very large deck was in need of painting. Once again we chose Creations by Brian. In both projects the work crew was friendly and efficient. Quality work and customer satisfaction was evident in everything they did. Communication was handled by Amber for both jobs. Each time she kept us abreast of the progress in a timely fashion. If your looking for high quality painting work at a competitive price contact Creations By Brian! Paul and Marie Hoppa

Brian and his team did a great job painting my oak cabinets white. They were professional and were there when they said they would be and stayed on the time line they gave me. Plus my cabinets turned out above and beyond what I expected. Would definitely use them again and refer them to anyone looking for this service.

This is the third time Brian and crew have painted the exterior of my house and completed exterior wood repairs over the past 12 years. We have been very pleased with the quality of the work and the competence of his crews is completing their work in a timely and professional manner. We would highly recommend Creations By Brian to you. Jack and Martha Ketchum.

Our experience with this team was exceptional! They were responsive to our requests, professional in their execution, and even had the keen eye to remove some old hardware that was not functional and we planned to dispose of anyway. They went above and beyond with this project, and we couldn't be happier! Their cutting in skills are something to acknowledge. They are amazing! They came in, saw the need and got right to work. Our relationship with this group has only grown, and it's their expertise and professionalism that keeps us coming back. We are so thankful!

Brian and his awesome crew practiaclly lived at our house doing projects for us. I used to feed them! They are proffessional, hard working and fun! Love them!

Great job! The water damage to my ceiling was completely fixed in a timely matter. Thanks!

Brian and his team are wonderful to work with! Creations By Brian took my old dated kitchen and living room and made them updated and new looking. I will call them again for all my painting needs. I had a vision of what I wanted and they made it happen. And it's better than I envisioned and could have hoped for. Thank you Brian and team!

Once again, Creations by Brian made our old house "new". The ability they had to transform our house- outside, is just what we wanted. It's now updated, modern & could be magazine worthy!:) Thanks team.

We spruced up our deck a year ago. It needed that one final touch to bring it from drab to fab. Creations by Brian did just that for us. The outcome made our deck look classy. Already have them booked for our next project.

Prompt and professional, they did an amazing job. I usually do my own painting, but they did a great job and got it done in a fraction of the time.

Brian and Amber were very professional, communicative, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend them for any interior or exterior painting projects.

We had Brian and his team power wash our new home. Very professional from beginning to end. They were on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and prepared. They go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied and informed as to what they are doing. The saying goes that you get what you pay for and this is no exception. Worth every penny!!! Great company to do business with.

Perfect job done on our wood siding, clean , and on time.

What a remarkable man! Brian and his team are so easy and great to work with. They do such a stellar job and always clean! I will use them again in the future as well as recommend them!

Thank you to Creations by Brian for doing a wonderful job of painting my bathroom today. A small job I know, but I had had a new shower installed and was going to do the painting myself and realized that I really didn't want to do that. So Creations By Brian to the rescue. Next time I need any size of painting job done I knew who to call!

Highly recommend!! Very professional, great customer service, and tailored to your individual needs. This company works as a team. A very rare find today.

Brian and the team were fantastic. Their work was perfect. They are professional, polite, good with our dogs, and careful with the furniture.

Brian and his team are professional; as well as personable. The quality of the work is amazing! I get a lot of compliments on my kitchen cabinets. And when you have strangers in your home for three days personable is important! I highly recommend Creations by Brian.

I have been looking for a contractor to complete work on my home. I am happy we reached out to Creations by Brian. I have not had any work completed by them yet, but their customer service is miles ahead of the competition! Thanks again for your prompt responses, it is truly appreciated during this stressful time for us!

Starting with the consultation with Brian was very personable and follow through was great. Painters Bobby and Noel did a great job painting our kitchen and back entryway and were super nice. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them for future projects.

We had Brian and his crew paint our kitchen cabinets about a year ago. They did a beautiful job and were very professional. We get lots of compliments on the job. Good, honest, hard working people! Thank you!

Stop. Are you looking for painting? Trim work? Drywall? Call Brian; Amber will answer your call. They're a team and they are awesome! They hire solid people, they follow up timely, they're kind and it's like having a good friend over to your house to do the work. I moved to this area a couple of years ago and know zero service professionals. Took a chance on a random recommendation and it paid off 10-fold. You don't need to try to find anyone else. This company here is who you need to call. Call today so you can get on Brian's schedule. I didn't know them when I called, but I feel like I made friends when I hired them. So happppppyyyy! Thanks Brian, Amber, Luke and Jason; y'all are the best!

Wow! We couldn't be happier! Our daughter flooded one of our upstairs bathrooms. Ugh, what a mess, but have NO FEAR because Creations By Brian helped to save the day. Their TEAM was polite, kind, helpful and understanding. They were extremely professional from the moment they stepped into our home until the moment they left me with an adorable paint can full of delicious candies. This company provided us with a "WOW" experience and I loved it. They painted two bathrooms and our downstairs. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again, in fact I most definitely will hire them again when I need another painting project completed. Thank you Creations By Brian TEAM! We are extremely grateful for the work you rendered. It is BEAUTIFUL! We highly recommend your team to do work for our family and friends. Thank you!

Couldn’t ask for a better experience!!! Super professional and impeccable quality.

Bobby and Nolan are so professional and sweet always on time and did Job exactly as I envisioned it. Brian and Amber are a delight to work with as well. Total class and best customer service I’ll have all my projects with them from now on

We had a wonderful experience with Brian and his crew. Our home looks absolutely amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Brian and his team went above and beyond our expectations. They provided excellent customer service, and the finished project is amazing.

We have used Creations by Brian for many projects (kitchen cabinet painting, interior painting, deck cleaning and staining) and we have always been impressed by the quality of work. Communication is also excellent. We can highly recommend this company.

We had our brand new doors picked up by Brian so he could professionally paint them at his shop. He returned all 12 doors in perfect condition. They look so good! We HIGHLY recommend Creations by Brian. Top notch professional painting!

I recently hired the team to do some painting. The team delivered exactly what was promised from start to finish. They brought great attention to detail. They were professional, courteous, and respectful. If you are looking for a company that offers above and beyond then call Creations by Brian. You will be more than happy with the customer service and the quality of the painting.

Creations By Brian just finished painting the trim and porches on our house. It was a 2 day job. We live about 30 miles north of Muskegon and not everyone that i called was willing to come this far to do the work. The job they've done is fantastic! The paint job looks very professional, and so was the clean up on both days. Also, we have baby birds in our eaves and they've even managed to work around them. I definitely recommend them for anyone's painting needs. I hear they do more than just painting too. Hmmm, I have some wallpaper that needs to come down.

Brian and his team are so professional and easy to work with. They did a great job painting all the trim, doors, and walls on my main floor. I have a couple more projects to do, and I look forward to working with them again. Thanks Brian!

Bobby and Nolan were amazing. They did excellent work, were polite and friendly, timely, cleaned up after themselves, highly recommend! We love our kitchen remodel. Will call Creations by Brian back for future jobs!!

Shout out to Shannon, Noel, and CJ for the fantastic job they did painting my home, repairing cracks, and giving me a new ceiling. It’s like I have a whole new home that I love! They did quality work, were on time, reliable, and professional yet friendly. I’m extremely happy with Creations by Brian and the work his team did…highly recommend.

Great work by Brian and team! Professional, courteous, quality work and always focused on getting the job done right! Thank you!

Creations by Brian did an excellent job painting the interior of my house. They are very dependable, showing up when they said they would everyday. They were there everyday until the job was done. There were no surprises with the price as that was all calculated before starting. They are excellent painters. I am very satisfied with their work.

Brian and his team are awesome! I had been waiting a long time for my renovation to be done, I was blessed to happen on to creations by Brian! Brian was sure to listen to my wishes and to deliver all he could. They were very efficient and friendly. I will have them back for my next project for sure!!!

Bobby A. was friendly, on time, professional and did a great job on an outside project. Very pleased.

We had a great experience with Creations By Brian. The employees were professional, knowledgeable and skilled. The work was completed on time and at a good price. We would highly recommend them to friends/family, and would be happy to hire them for any work that we need done in the future.

Excellent job. Great guys, not easy working around 4 cats, 1 dog and a puppy. Brian was amazing, You can't tell where he repaired the knock down. It is that good. Shannon did an excellent job of painting. I will never paint anything myself again. VERY PLEASED!

Creations by Brian's crew did a wonderful job washing and painting our home. They are true professionals and paid attention to every detail.

Creations by Brian completely redid our kitchen cabinets, painting the the old frames and adding all new door and drawer faces. In addition they put all new door hinges and drawer sliders in. Their work was very good. We can’t tell the difference from brand new cabinets. AJ and their workers were very professional and took care of any issues we had. They cleaned up each night and at the end of the job. I would recommend them to anyone needing any painting or renovation done.

Creations by Brian was very responsive and accommodating. Shannon and Bobby did an excellent job, always communicating any issues. They were prompt, hard working, and very nice to deal with. 5 stars!

Brian and his crew repaired some water stains on my ceiling and did some drywall repair and paint on a wall. They did an excellent job and it looks fantastic. They arrived promptly, were very neat, covered everything with plastic and drop cloths and put everything back to normal when they left. I would highly recommend them. Great job. Thanks.

Brian, Amber and the whole crew were the most professional business we have ever worked with! They painted our kitchen cabinets and were prompt every morning, their work was top quality and we loved the end result. Five stars for sure!

Excellent customer service - from Brian's initial quote to Amber's follow up to any of our questions. Great workmanship & hard working (Bobby & Noel) Crew. Our Kitchen Cabinets look awesome! Thank you, Creations By Brian Team.

Creations by Brian re-painted all of the signage at our historic depot office, and the results are great! The signs, made from older wood, were carefully cleaned and repainted to preserve their charm while giving them a fresh, renewed look. Their attention to detail and clear communication were wonderful from start to finish. We were happy with the work, and the experience!

We were recommended to creations by Brian through our contractor. We changed our mind from sanding and staining our oak cabinets ourselves to having them painted. Creations by Brian were able to get us in their schedule very quickly. They were on time every day and only took one week to completely have our project finished. They were clean, thorough and super nice people. I would highly recommend them to the world. don’t hesitate. Call them today, you will not regret it ! Thank you Brian, Amber and crew

Shannon and Noel did an excellent job painting my walls, ceilings and trim. I also had a leak from the roof and I needed plaster work on the ceiling. They repaired that for me also. It looks perfect! This is the third time I have called on Creations by Brian to do work for me. I have never been disappointed. I am also planning on using them to power wash and stain my three decks. I will let you know how that turns out.

We have used Creations by Brian for all of our painting needs for many years. They do very high quality work. Their associates are fabulous to work with.

I recently had Creations By Brian do two projects for me and had great service both times. Master bedroom and then Master bedroom. They’re back today to complete the main bath and I’m already saving for the next phase. Very punctual and professional service! Thank you Noel and Nolan

Brian and Amber are wonderful! They worked side by side with me, with Brian coming to my home more then once to answer my questions. Brian did beautiful work in my new bathroom. Great company for anyone needing professional and fantastic work done in their home.

Creations by Brian did an excellent job painting the interior of our home. Everyone went above and beyond to provide quality work, price and they were ahead of schedule. We will be using Creations by Brian in the future!

I had a very good experience with Creations By Brian. From the professional quote to the efficient crew ----I was very pleased. My "popcorn" ceiling had a water stain and was flaking (a bigger job than I thought I could handle well) that the crew fixed and repainted. I also had a stained and varnished wainscoting ceiling that they painted - beautiful. I would use them again for my next painting project.

We have hired Creations By Brian three times over the past 12 years to paint the exterior and complete exterior wood trim repairs to our home. We have been extremely pleased with the professionalism and skill of Brian and his crews in satisfactorily making our home look beautiful again. The crew members this time were Luke and Tony. Thanks fellas.

Had my home exterior stained a few years ago and its held up beautifully. Very happy with this company.

Great craftsmanship, staff, communication and finished product. Would highly recommend

We’ve had work done by Creations by Brian twice: a bedroom and a kitchen/cabinets makeover. We’ve been absolutely satisfied. Brian is very responsive and precise in his work. We will be contacting him again for future projects.

we recently had his crew come out and repair walls and ceilings and paint. they were respectful and honest! all we had to do is hang our family photos back up after they left. we called only days before the Thanksgiving holiday and they got in and out with plenty of time left for us to entertain and enjoy. we highly recommend Creations By Brian to do any and all of your household updates.

Luke and Austin did an outstanding job of painting my 2-story stairwell and ceiling. They prepared the walls well-- and even discovered issues that needed attention that I wasn't aware of. They were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly-- I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend them and Creations by Brian.

They are great to deal with. I'm extremely happy with the ceiling they painted.

Creations by Brian is a great company to work with. Brian will make sure everything is done correctly and explains things so you understand it, and stands behind his work. Amber is so easy to talk to and so helpful she stepped right up when my interior designer quit in the middle of the job, helped me with alot of things answered my questions and just listened to me.i so appreciated that. The guys doing the work were fantastic, on time, thoughtful, considerate, polite and cleaned up every day before they left, and put their all into what they were doing. Not to mention they were also fun to be around. I would recommend them to anyone, they are all true professionals,and want to say thanks for a job well done. Frank & Linda Rubin

I had Creations by Brian paint and remove old carpeting and replace it with laminate in my living area and halfway. I couldn't be any happier with the work they did, how considerate they were in my home and always on time. They went out of their way to make sure I was happy. I was SO happy that I am having them back to do more! Wonderful people! 👍👍👍👍👍

This is the second time I have now used Creations by Brian for drywalling. I cannot express how thoroughly impressed I am with their service. Not only do they provide a fair price for their work; they are artists. When they patched holes in my drywalling, It was completely invisible. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of drywalling. Thank you again.

We had great results using Creations by Brian to paint a stairwell and also to repair a large hole in our drywall. Casey and Anthony were professional, courteous and conscientious. We also were glad to learn that Casey enjoys removing wallpaper, which may come in handy for a future project.

Creations has pressure washed and stained the exterior of my home, as well as painted several interior rooms. The quality of the work was excellent and the experience was very professional. Mike Balash

Brian and his guys did our kitchen and bathroom and we are so in love with the new look ! Great team... very professional... everything turned out how we pictured it !

Bobby and Noel painted my family room, hallway and bathroom late December and Bobby came back today and retouched my finally completed bathroom remodel; it looks amazing❣️🥰😍🥳 I am so happy to finally see all the planning come to fruition. They are professional, completed within the allotted time frame and cleaned up after themselves (which is saying a lot compared to some of the other contractors that have been in my home over the last 9 months). They talked me through a couple solutions for an issue that I do have, no fault of theirs. Would I recommend, absolutely yes!

Creations by Brian did an excellent job repairing my water damaged ceiling above my fireplace and the worn and peeling ceiling in my kitchen. From the first phone call with Amber, estimate & recommendations by Brian, and excellent work & care from Noel, I am completely satisfied. Noel’s workmanship on the detailed plaster moldings was fantastic. Thanks to all of you!

Shannon, Austin and Colin were great. They were very professional, friendly and down to earth. They did an AMAZING job! My home is beautiful. The clean up was great and the placement of my furniture was perfect. I’m looking forward to having these gentleman come back to do the rest of my painting.

Creations by Brian LLC provided painting to 14 of our interior doors. They came and took all the pre-primed doors and returned them to my residence with a beautiful sprayed on finish. They turned out beautiful without any blemishes and they look fantastic! I just had them stain 2 of my exterior doors. When their schedule permits, I will have them paint my interior! I highly recommend Creations By Brian for any painting and/or staining project you have.

Such a professional group of people at Creations by Brian. Quote was detailed and reasonable. Work was done very well, on time and worked through changes with no issues. I would recommend this team to anyone! Thank you Creations by Brian! I am sure we will use your services again!

This was my first experience with Creations by Brian but I will definitely contact them in the future if I need work done. I was impressed with their communication, their professionalism and their work. They were on time and explained things along the way. They cleaned up at the end of each day. And my house looks great.

A HUGE thank you to Brian and the team for completely transforming our basement and the front room of our house! We consistently are impressed with the impeccable work the team does! Not only is their work meticulous but the level of professionalism they show is really impressive! Looking forward to our upcoming paining projects!

This was our second painting and carpentry project with Creations by Brian. Keith did a beautiful job putting in the crown moulding around the room and Noel painted the room and ceiling to add some depth and warmth to our space. They will also be painting the exterior of our home this spring. Can't say enough good things, very respectful, always on-time and Brian and his wife Amber, want to make sure you are happy with the final project.

Creations By Brian was recommended to us when we were looking for someone to patch drywall, skim coat and paint a ceiling during a kitchen remodel. They did an excellent job blending a significant amount of new drywall into existing drywall and making it appear seamless. We have since hired them to paint several rooms. Again they did a very good job and Casey made sure that any wall imperfections were repaired to our satisfaction. The whole crew was professional, courteous and easy to work with. Thank you Brian and Amber Bob and Jane Parker

We had 2 to 7 workers on our 5 unit condo association. All were polite, earnest workers and did an excellent job. I would especially like to commend Aaron who painted my unit daily. He was first to arrive and last to leave. He was constantly working and pleasant as were others I encountered. Aaron put my furniture back in place which was a big help. Thank you Brian and Amber. You have a great crew. Jane Lane

Very professional. Great work. They have done several jobs and we are happy with the top quality work.

They did an amazing job painting almost the entire interior of our home including two bathrooms. Still happy with the work months later.

We have had Brian's crew here several times for big jobs and small jobs. Each time his crew has been terrific. Quality, professional work and workers. Casey was the latest crew member at our house and he did an outstanding job.

Great team in office and paint staff. I would hire them again for any of my painting needs

Highly recommend Creations By Brian. Bobby and Noel turned our deck from drab to fab. The stain and paint combination makes our deck look very classy. Will definitely use them again in the future.

These guys were a joy to have in the house! They did a great job.

We were extremely impressed with the job the CBB team did. Brian and Amber kept us informed on the project plan. Noel, Bobby and Jasmine were fantastic to work with during the week, they updated us everyday before starting on what the workplan was for the day and asked if we had any questions. The finished product is beautiful, they are GREAT to work with and I would highly recommend them. 10 STARS!!!!

We would highly recommend Creations by Brian. Bobby and Noel did a fantastic job painting our kitchen cabinets (and an entry wall). They were always on time, professional, friendly, and cleaned up each day before leaving. Thanks for a job well done!

We had our house painted this month. There preparation started about 1 week out power washing the exterior of the house, excellent job! Then last week they painted the exterior and both the front and back doors. Again an excellent job, they were very professional, took great care, in watching out for our landscaping. I would highly recommend them! Julie & Jim Walkenhorst - Spring Lake

Creations by Brian has been excellent to work with. Brian especially gave us great advice on design and color choice. His estimates of cost and timeline were thorough and spot-on (when adjustments had to be made, we were always advised in advance). Brian’s team could not have been more well-trained, professional, and hard-working (and just nice!) We can highly recommend Creations by Brian!

The team did a wonderful job, everyone that worked on the project was very kind and hard workers. They were detailed in their work and very happy with the room.

Shannon and Aaron from Creations by Brian repaired my textured ceiling and wall that had stains and damage from a water leak. They were fast and efficient and the ceiling and wall are better than ever. Shannon explained what he was doing and worked professionally to repair the damage. They were careful to cover everything with plastic before they started and cleaned up when they were done. I would have them back again. Excellent service.

Brian just painted our house and stained our deck and concrete patio. As always, they did a fabulous job. This is the third time we have hired them for painting and carpentry work. Very professional and excellent customer service from all the staff. Many thanks Brian and Team, Kim and Frank

Brian's entire team was wonderful! They were a pleasure to work with, did very professional work and insisted on cleaning up every evening (even tho' we told them it was unnecessary). Brian's recommendation of a contrasting wall was spot on and the results are beautiful. They started and finished right on schedule. We couldn't be more pleased would recommend them to anyone.

We had Creations by Brian stain our external siding and paint our window trim. The work was performed by Shannon and Tony and we were very pleased with the work that was done. Shannon and Tony were polite and professional. They exhibited a strong work ethic and a positive attitude. We would certainly recommend Creations by Brian.

So very happy! Friendly staff and easy to work with! Beautiful work done in just a few days. They stay in touch after the job is done and that to me means they care about their clients! Highly recommended Creations By Brian, LLC, in fact I gave my Mom their business card and she has since had inside and outside paint jobs done. She is very happy too! 😊 Give them a call today, you’ll be happy you did!

Absolutely the most pleased I have ever been after having work done on my home. This crew is meticulous and doesn’t cut corners and very polite.
