HOSPITALITY
Laura L., general manager
Marriott hotel/conference center

"I've been with Marriott for over 20 years.  In that time I have opened hotels and gone through several renovations.  I have to say that Depend (Painting & Decorating) is the best contractor I've ever worked with for painting, drywall, and wall treatments. 

Depend's flexibility really sets it apart from other contractors.  There have been times, on a moment's notice, that I have needed to change a project because of hotel operation requirements or to meet a guest request. Depend staff quickly and easily makes the necessary changes so we can continue providing our guests outstanding service and comfortable accommodations.  

Depend's staff is incredibly polite and friendly, and they easily become part of our team.  They blend right into the woodwork and work as unobtrusively as possible.  That enables us to go about our business without interruption, which is important to me, my staff, and our guests. 

HEALTHCARE
Dave A., facility/construction manager
Major Chicago hospital

"I have worked with Depend (Painting & Decorating) for about seven years, and will continue to work with them for any painting, drywall, or paper hanging project.  They are reliable, professional, and most importantly, they follow the rules regarding infection control, VOC emissions, and dust containment. 

Depend staff is flexible when scheduling changes are necessary to accommodate unexpected fluctuations in patient flow.  Not too long ago, they were doing a job on the radiology floor and we needed to immediately close the job down.  There were absolutely no problems and we easily rescheduled it for later that evening.

Additionally, I have never incurred unexpected additional costs when a project was done during a 2nd shift instead of the 1st shift.  For instance, tonight they are painting the Operating Room Waiting Room because the patient load is lighter at night and we can re-direct families to another waiting area.

Depend projects are always brought in on budget and it's great to have the extra benefit of working with people who have really great attitudes."
