What is a good miniature painting company?

[iron wrench]

I have come across many different opinions pertaining to what makes a miniature painting company or service great. I would like to hear the opinions of others.

1) What qualities encompass a great painting company?

2) What is a good painting service to you?

3) What are some of your personal experiences with various companies? Did you have a good experience or a terrible one and what made it so?

Most of us on this site paint our own minis, with a fair few also hiring out their services to others.

What qualities does a great mini painting "company" have? Consistant skills, good colour coordination, the ability to meet deadlines, and fair pricing.

They should also have a decent gallery to show potential customers, or if they deal with people live and in person, good display minis for same.

What's a good painting service? I try to get commissions done promptly and within my customer's expectations. I'm lucky, there. My customers give me very loose guide-lines and otherwise tell me 'go nuts, I trust you'.

I haven't hired anyone else to do any work for me, as yet, though I'm saving up to get some stuff from some of my favourite painters, here.
