RESTORATION PAINTING & HOME IMPROVEMENT, INC

Painting was well done, prep thorough, and clean up excellent.  Steve checked on his crew frequently when not working on the job himself.  Crew was friendly and professional as well.  Job was intermittently disrupted, on our part due to illness, and weather, but Steve always tried hard to work with our schedule and weather permitting.  After much delay on my part choosing outside paint color he made a recommendation he had used on another house (and gave me address to look at the color on a house), which turned out better than any color I was considering.  I changed my mind on trim color after he had done one set of windows and he promptly helped find another color that looked better and repainted without a problem.  Similar problem with choosing fence paint to go on old weathered cedar and deck paint but patiently went through multiple options and final recommendations looked great.  Then helped choose interior colors for new house and did great job there as well.  
Would definitely recommend and use again for other painting needs.

Steve and his crew were extremely professional, they showed up by 7:00 every morning and were extremely quiet, they stayed on task and did an amazing job, I couldn't be happier and will keep his number in my book for other jobs in the future.

Work was tentatively scheduled, but no notification prior to the start of work. They just appeared one day. Fortunately I did not have guests from out of state, but a heads-up type of call would be appropriate.
Work continued in what I deemed inappropriate weather and voiced the concern. I was dismissed and, somewhat arrogantly, told that the materials were made for the climate.
I was again dismissed when asking for touch-up work and later found damage to an area but no apology for causing it.
The quality of the work was average. It's paint on walls. They made an odd decision to paint the side of the brand new (custom color) vinyl windows without being directed. It looks dumb and could eventually peal.
This is the second contractor I've chosen from Angie's List and the second time I've been less than happy with the result or the provider.

Came out just a few days after accepting the bid. Did fine, professional work. Since I wasn't home they even came back the next day to make sure everything was good before getting paid.

Did a great job, great to work with. Only bad point, was that they said they would start work end of July, but didn't get to us until mid September, which was very inconvient for us. Once they got to us, though, they did a great job and were very professional.

I used RESTORATION PAINTING AND HOME IMPROVEMENT, INC

Our nearly 20 year old back deck was tilting from possible frost heave through the years, and railings were coming loose. We needed it replaced. We received an estimate from Steve Thomas in the fall 2012, but weather prevented further work. We called in the spring 2013, and we were flexible for a start date, given weather and other jobs his crew had. The deck is about 10x20 elevated about 7 feet above ground in the back of our house. The construction work lasted one week.
Demolition was done quickly and very professionally the first day. All old wood, etc. was removed and the area policed at the end of the day. Upon demolition, several rotten side boards were found that we agreed should be replaced. Construction lasted through the week. The construction was very well done, with screws, rather than nails, waterproofing boards connected to the house, sufficient lumber where needed. I was extremely pleased with the crew: Carlos, who took the old deck down and was the lead on construction; and Jeremy, who worked on the construction. Both are very professional, conscientious, and first rate at their work. I was very pleased to have them. Steve Thomas brought materials, checked with me and the crew during the day concerning any questions, and removed the demolished pieces. Deck staining took place about a week later, after the new lumber dried a bit. The deck looks so much better than I expected, and much more than the previous deck when it was newer.

Very well done.

They do a excellent job with our painting project. They repair any areas that need attention and do nice prep work

before painting. This is the second time they have painted our project.

The finished job is a 100 percent improvement over the condition of the home prior to the work. We are very pleased with the effort and would recommend Restoration Painting to anyone interested.

quick reply, estimate was not lowest, but fair, showed up on schedule, all work done on time, on budget, over all was great, I will use them again

Steve and his crew were all very professional and punctual. The quote for the job was not the lowest, but we very comfortable having them work in our home and that to us is priceless! The work ethic of the crew was evident. They worked non-stop for three days to complete our little project. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the work done.

I arranged a walk through with Steve from Restoration Painting and Home Improvement, Inc along with one other Angie's list painter. Steve's pricing was just a bit higher than the other but he was very knowledgeable, prepared and flexible to my schedule. We negotiated the price and he matched the other painter's price. I selected a color with Steve's help and I was surprised how fast, efficient and detailed they were. I have already recommended Restoration Painting and Home Improvement, Inc and Angie's list to others.

By far the best experience I have had with a contractor working on my house. Steve was professional, prompt, and reliable throughout the entire process. Out of three quotes I got to perform the work, Restoration Painting was the most expensive. However, the bid was very thorough and detailed and I felt most comfortable paying extra to go with them. Steve took detailed notes on his iPad during every site visit and was able to easily access notes from previous conversations. We planned to have them do the work several months in advance during a period while we were on vacation. Steve kept in contact throughout the summer and arranged a site visit before we left to make sure everyone was on the same page. Work started promptly according to schedule and finished when we were told it would be done. Steve and his crew were on time everyday and he called back to follow through when he said he would. We received updates throughout the course of the project and he contacted us whenever questions came up to verify what we wanted.
Now for the workmanship itself. They did a fantastic job with the drywall installation and one cannot tell where the new meets up with the existing. Very fine work with both the drywall and the carpentry. The paint job is fantastic, very clean lines and trim work. There was only one spot we asked them to touch up and it was done right away and looks awesome. The cleanup was pretty good, a lot of dust from the drywall installation took a few attempts to clean up completely. No paint drips or any damage to personal belongings. Garage was left a little messy but did not take much time to clean up on our own.
I would highly recommend Restoration Painting to anyone and plan on using them in the future to paint the exterior of our house. They take pride in their work and offer excellent customer service.

Steve did a wonderful job. I live in Girdwood, so I was especially pleased that he would come out here. Bids done professionally, and the crew was on time, skilled, and extremely neat. I was really pleased with the exterior painting and the new cedar deck. Would recommend Steve and his crew for any similar jobs.
