My name is Daniel I've been a maintenance technician for almost 10 years now I've worked at apartments hotels and schools

"Overall, it went pretty well, though there were some gotchas that future customers should be wary of. 1) At the time of the estimate, I specifically asked about whether a permit was needed and if so who was responsible for getting it. FiveStar indicated that a permit would be needed and getting it was their responsibility. However, they did not get it. A city inspector caught them doing unpermitted work on the final day of installation. He was kind enough to let them finish what they were doing with the instruction that they rectify the permit issue afterwards. FiveStar told me that they were trying to save me money by skipping the permit. At no time had I indicated that cutting legal corners to save money was an option. In fact, I would have thought that my questioning about the permit process would have conveyed my interest in doing things according to the city regulations. (I think they were actually saving themselves some expense and effort.) If the inspector had caught them at a different time in the process and been less accommodating and enforced a stop work order, I could have been left with gaping holes in my house for several days while the permit issue was resolved. Lesson learned: ensure that workers have the appropriate permit in hand when they show up for work. 2) I had expected that the house would be tidied up each day after work was completed. That was not the case. Drop cloths and debris cluttered various rooms. This was not a huge deal in my case, but it is something for future customers to clarify with the company. 3) The workers did some repair of cracks in the wall by a couple of the windows. It appears that the mud was flung somewhat sloppily. I found globs of it on adjoining walls and on nearby furniture. Fortunately, the furniture was already somewhat worn, so I could take this in stride. Lesson learned: if you have furniture or other items that you want to ensure are well protected, do it yourself, even though the contract says that they will cover furniture and use drop cloths. 4) Some of the screens did not fit properly, leaving gaps for insects to get into the house. It took two attempts to get the right-size screens. The first attempt failed because the replacement screens were not ordered at the right size, according to the manufacturer. I don't know why the original screens didn't fit properly. This was resolved with some patience (since the screens had to be made to order). Proper fit of the screens is something to watch out for."

"I was very happy that he was willing to meet with me in the evening because of my work schedule.
He was also willing to come over while I was at work to do the installation.
I have been very happy with these shutters and have had no issues with them in the six plus months I have had them.
I would recommend them and use them again.

"Bill was great to work with. He's very friendly, willing to explain things and worked hard to come up with a solution for OUR needs. We had a hard move-in deadline that was only one week away, and Bill's crew miraculously pulled it off. 
I spoke with Bill several times by phone to establish the appointment and discuss options. He was always very friendly and it's obvious that he has a passion for his work - very knowledgeable and interested in the details. We established price and timing, and he handled all matters related to purchasing the paint and materials. The crew always arrived on time and never appeared to slack off. Every single day they put in longer hours than was included in the invoice. They were very polite and nice guys, and got the work done so fast it made our heads spin.
In terms of the work that was done, they pressure washed the exterior and painted both body and trim. On the interior (master bedroom), they put up new drywall and patched some damaged existing drywall, then textured and painted the entire room. They also put in new trim, painted the window trim, moved a few outlets back into the wall and many other details that weren't even in the bid. That's just how Bob works. He wants to do a good job and make customers happy. They came back a few days later for routine touch-ups on the exterior, and spent hours making sure that every last detail was right!
I would definitely recommend Fine Point Painting to anyone, and will use them in the future if the need arises.

"Tony was very helpful-he worked on my kitchen facets,, fixed my stove top which wasn't getting gas,, got me a new heater filter, built a new crawl space to get under my house and did a deep cleaning of my oven/stove area. He his very professional and able to fix many problems!"

"From the start, the crew paid attention to what I was hoping to fix. They did not push unnecessary upgrades and focused on what mattered most. Their work looks clean and consistent, and the updated area has become one of my favorite parts of the house."

"They came out to give an estimate right before Christmas. After the holidays, I remembered that I ordered windows through this company. It turned out that they'd lost my order. Within two weeks, they'd solved the problem, but we wondered if they would have noticed, in the case we hadn't notified them. 

The work was done well."

"Took pictures of repair work so that we could see what was done since we did not want to climb up on the roof."
