"The prospect of hiring an artist to bring that special touch to our kitchen remodel had us both embarrassingly intimidated. All the stereotypes of the "temperamental" artist floated in our heads: Moody, unreliable, inflexible. Once we met Todd we felt foolish because nothing could have been further from the truth. Not only did he listen carefully to our wishes, he brought to them his own creative flare and completed the project on time and at a very reasonable cost. Maybe best of all, Todd rolled with the punches of our changing minds while not compromising his own creative vision. We could not have been more pleased with the process and with the result."

Dear Todd,
Thank you so much for doing such a great job on our bedroom mural. Although we didn’t have a very large space to work with, you were able to incorporate all of our ideas and special requests into a lovely design. Your suggestion to accompany the quotation with an underwater scene works beautifully to create just the look we were hoping to achieve. We know that some of our favorite images were a challenge for you to integrate into a limited area, and we’re impressed that you were able to find a way to accommodate each one.
In addition to your talent as a designer, you are simply a pleasure to work with. Your commitment to pleasing your clients was evident in every interaction we had. We were repeatedly impressed by your willingness to try different ideas or rework concepts based on our preferences.
Please feel free to share this letter with any prospective clients you may have. We’d be happy to serve as a reference for your business.
Best Wishes,
Leslie DiBona & Steve McGivern

To Whom It May Concern:
"Todd Schmid has worked for me on several projects, most recently a 5500 square foot house that Todd almost single-handedly painted himself. Needless to say, this project lasted for months, so it was important that whomever I hired for the job was someone I wanted in my house for half a year. Todd was the only person we considered. Not only is Todd artistically gifted, but he is remarkably professional, courteous, and a delight to work with. He not only outdid himself creatively, but worked cooperatively with myself as the project manager, my three children and husband, and the other sub contractors who were working on the house at the same time. When we decided to paint the boys room with vintage sports motifs, Todd spent days in our local library, examining old high school yearbooks and sports books to find just the right look for our room. The final outcome was fantastic. As an owner-builder for more than a decade now, I understand how rare it is to find quality craftsmen. I am grateful that Todd Schmid is part of my team, and highly recommend him for any job. "
