College Works Painting Wins Three Talk of the Town Awards for Customer Satisfaction

    July 27, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- College Works Painting of Irvine has won its third consecutive Talk of the Town Customer Satisfaction Award in the Painting Contractors category after earning the highest possible customer satisfaction rating of 5 stars for three straight years.

Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., College Works Painting provides valuable, practical and life-changing business experience for college and university students who have shown potential for success, while also providing high-quality residential painting services for people interested in opening opportunities for the next generation of business leaders.

Each year, College Works Painting hires more than 2,000 college students who then provide painting services for more than 10,000 customers across the nation. This paid internship opportunity enables students to run their own painting company, developing a variety of skills such as marketing, sales, management and relationship building. "At the same time, they build the confidence, motivation and business ethics they need to become effective business leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs and corporate citizens who make a positive impact on their communities, the economy and hopefully the world," says Marketing Director Jason Bay of College Works Painting.

"No other company empowers students to run their own local businesses, manage their own crew of people and provide a much-needed service within their communities -- while earning money as well as invaluable experience," says Bay.

While the company's goal is to empower college students to become the next generation of leaders, it also places a high priority on serving customers well and ensuring they are always satisfied. "We value customer service above all," says Bay. "The 2,000 interns we hired this past spring and summer are hand selected from a pool of more than 50,000 applicants."

In addition, the company backs its high-quality work with a two- to five-year guarantee. "Our customer service department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure our customers are always taken care of," says Bay. "Poor customer service is not tolerated, and winning the Talk of the Town Customer Satisfaction Award three years in a row demonstrates this. In fact, our 97% customer satisfaction rate remains one of the industry's best."

College Works Painting also supports the local communities in many ways with man-hours, financial support, collecting goods and by requesting participation of its customers and team members. In addition, the district managers perform Charity Paints each year nationwide, refinishing the houses of needy families. "We also work with organizations to locate and set up other charity painting projects, and we proudly support a host of organizations, including Augie's Quest, Make A Wish Foundation, Entrepreneurs' Organization, Secret Service Summit, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Share Our Selves, Corazon and Health Network Foundation.

Each year, the Talk of the Town Awards are presented by Talk of the Town News, Customer Care News magazine and Celebration Media U.S. to honor companies and professionals that provide excellent customer service as reported by their customers through no-cost, user-review websites, blogs, social networks, business rating services, and other honors and accolades.
