Additional Customer Comments:
"Joanne McGinn is a color consultant and is the best! I couldn't recommend her any higher. My husband and I wanted to paint the interior of our house and didn't know where to start with the colors. I know what I like when I see it but don't have the "vision" required and was really overwhelmed! That's where Joanne of The Color Coach stepped in. She is amazing with colors! She came to my old home to see the colors I liked there including the colors of my furniture and decorations, I showed her some pictures online and then we went to the new home. From there we chose two base colors, then added different colors to different rooms. I balked a little at a couple of her ideas but they ended up being gorgeous and my favorites! After the colors were chosen, she gave me large enough samples to share with my painter and wrote down everything in a way that he had no problem understanding what color went where. If you are hesitant at all to pay someone for this service, don't be! Joanne's advice is worth every dollor and more! Carol C., Chandler, AZ"
"We are all moved in and everything is painted. The colors look beautiful! The ceilings look so much better painted the cottage white than wrapping the color. I cannot believe how different the master bedroom looks with the high noon color. Excellent choices and thank you so much for your help. We would definately recommend you! Emily R., Queen Creek, AZ"
"Omg Joanne, wait til u see. We absolutely love every color! Ill call u so u can come over and see after we're done putting wood floors in the family room.

"The painting was finished....I LOVE it!!!! It looks so much more friendly, elegant, perfect. Each room is wonderful to look into. Thanks again. I'll be calling you if I ever want to change colors somewhere. Maureen H., Sun Lakes"
"I can’t thank you enough for your help with all of my projects. When I first contacted you last year and requested long distance help with selecting a color for my 3 story staircase and hallway, we wondered if we would be able to work together, without you being able to see the space in person. Through telephone conversations and e-mailing photographs, you helped me to select the perfect colors. Then a couple of months ago I called you in a panic. I was getting a new kitchen with very costly custom cabinets and the carpenter was pressuring me for a color. I knew that I wanted white cabinets, honed Carrera marble countertops and backsplash, and ebony hardwood floors. I had no idea how many whites there were until I attempted to select one! I could not afford to make a very costly mistake. I was literally losing sleep over it. I didn’t want the cabinets to be “science lab white”, but I also didn’t want them to look dingy. I sent you samples of my countertop and flooring and literally overnight you helped me to select the perfect white and the beautiful blue wall color. I have received countless compliments on the color of the cabinets and the wall color. Several friends asked me “how did you ever pick that blue, it’s so perfect”. When I told them that I used Joanne – The Color Coach of Phoenix, they could not believe it! It was much easier to work remotely then I expected it to be. Thanks to your great skill and professionalism, I will never again torture myself trying to pick the perfect paint color!! I have attached pictures so you could see the project, the fruit of your exquisite taste! - Diana W., Manasquan, NJ"
"The result of my consultation with Joanne was awesome. I was in the middle of a remodel and had a painter ready to go but had no idea of what colors to use. I called Joanne and with her help it was possible to achieve my goals. I highly recommend The Color Coach."
"Fantastic job. We highly recommend this service! We did some minor remodeling and refurnishing and needed to paint the interior of our house. We were replacing all white walls with color and wanted the colors to go with our furnishings, but also transition from room to room. We had a general idea of what we liked but we were "stuck" on certain decisions and decided to call in a professional. The Color Coach (Joanne McGinn) visited our home in the middle of the day when it was filled with natural light. The color samples she brought were large enough to get a good idea of what they would look like. She made suggestions but always worked within our taste in color. Now the house is painted and the results are beautiful. She did a fantastic job of picking colors that look good with our furnishings, carpeting and wall hangings. The colors blend with each other, and the transition points that she suggested worked out perfectly."
"The Painting Company referred me to Joanne, The Color Coach, and she was awesome."
"I recently hired Joanne McGinn, The Color Coach, to help me select paint colors for my home. It was the best money I have ever spent. She was amazing, the service fantastic and the color palette stunning . I highly recommend her. She was so efficient. I gave her a straight A report on Angie's List and nominated her for the 'page of happiness' award."
"My husband is a custom home builder, and when got the chance to build our first home together, we wanted everything to be perfect. Choosing the right colors was so important, and we knew choosing the wrong colors for the house would be very expensive to fix. We spent many overwhelming hours looking at paint swatches and testing out paint samples. Luckily, we found Joanne to help!! We spent less time and less money on Joanne’s wonderful services than we did on our own paint sample experiments. Joanne was professional yet personal and she truly listened to what we envisioned. Joanne combined our ideas with her own expertise to make our home beautiful. Our floors and cabinets inside, and stone work outside blend beautifully with the colors Joanne suggested. We constantly get compliments on the house from friends and neighbors. We’ve even had complete strangers knock on our door to ask for the name and brand for our colors so they can paint their home exactly the same way! We were so pleased with Joanne that we continue to refer her to many friends and home building clients...

"My husband and I have been discussing colors in our home for the past two years, but could not agree either on the colors to be used or, when we did agree on colors, where to use those colors. Joanne came to our home and looked at our furniture and accessories as well as our floor coverings. Systematically, with our input, she selected the main color to be used throughout as well as accent colors in various rooms. She also suggested using accent colors in areas we had not previously considered. We are extremely happy with the results and have recommended her to our friends...

"Thanks again for helping me pick out colors for my new house, my wife
loved our choices... Jeff F. - Phoenix"
" I have had lots of
compliments; feel free to use me as a reference... Carol S. - Scottsdale"
"Joanne provided us with prompt and very focused guidance within the first hour of meeting with her. She took the time to hear what we ultimately wanted in terms of look and feel to our home and then proceeded to suggest the colors that would compliment our finishes while keeping in mind the overall goal that we had set up. She explained why some colors worked well and why others would not. We were very happy with her suggestions and booked with her recommended painter for the following week. We could not be happier with the final results. Our home feels more warm and lively. We particularly like the way the new color has brought life to our niches. We have had many compliments with respect to our color choices all thanks to Joanne... Kim T. - Chandler

"The house was painted - it was completed last month and looks FABULOUS!! We are so please with the color selection - it really looks fantastic. Your fee was well spent --- we would highly recommend your services to others! Mimi O., Phoenix, AZ"
"We are VERY pleased with your choice of colors for all of the rooms and the accent walls. We walk
through our home daily and wonder what took us so long to hire ‘The Color Coach’ to help us make the right decision. We recommend that anyone who is planning on investing in painting his or her home (PLEASE call you first) or they may regret their decision. This was the best investment and decision we could have made to hire a professional to help us make the RIGHT decision for our home. Burley & Sadia P., Gilbert, AZ
