It was fine; it was a pretty good experience. It seemed like a reasonable price. It was actually a little bit cheaper than everyone else that I interviewed. We were pleased with the quality.
The work began on a Wednesday promptly at 8:30 am as scheduled, with the power washing. Next day, the masking/taping, caulking/ prep,etc. then the painting for the next two days. The workers were punctual every day, polite, friendly, and go about their work in a business-like manner. We had some of the neighbors come over just to let us know how great they thought our house looked after it was completed. One neighbor contacted Tim for an estimate and another planned to do so in the near future.
We used Home Depot Behr Premium Plus Ultra paint - satin and semi-gloss - since it scored well with Consumer Reports and because the exterior is all wood siding/trim with no stucco. Behr Premium Plus Marquee was the highest rated but would have added to the cost and we think the Ultra paint worked out just fine. Our home is a little over 1,800 sq. ft.
Tim was easy to reach by phone and email, and always replied quickly and effectively. He was also flexible and helpful, throughout the whole process.
For one thing, he was willing to use a special fire-retardant paint we had found, in order to reduce the risk from wildfires. (Our house backs on parkland.) This was a costly special order, explaining why the job may look expensive, and required two base coats followed by a top coat. Another painter we contacted earlier was not willing to work with this paint, but Tim took it on, even though it made the job more complicated.
Tim also brought in someone to tear out an old shed we wanted removed and patch the stucco where it had been anchored to the exterior wall of the house; replaced the side-gates, which were falling apart, and painted the new ones; and hauled away some old, heavy fountain parts we needed removed. He also had his team hang a decorative hanging high on our interior livingroom wall, at our request. (This involved ladder work we were uncomfortable trying ourselves.) And, after the main job seemed done, we decided we wanted the gaps in our eaves closed up, again, as a defense against fires, and Tim got this done quickly and well as an add-on.
Overall-- a good experience!
