Frank and team:
* honored exterior painting quote developed one year earlier when I was finally ready to paint exterior
* Provided a prompt scheduling date and were there bright and early on the day they promised, and bright and early every day until complete
* Accommodated easily some last minute changes (Color and roof pressure clean)
* Did a clean and professional job
How refreshing to have everything go exactly as planned with no surprises. I would definitely use Frank again.
It went very well and I am very satisfied with the final result.
Here are all the details of my transaction:
I purchased a coupon from Angie's List for and quot;Painter for a Dayand quot; for $199.
When I called to book the appointment, the guy was pretty quick with me on the phone. He offered me an appointment a few weeks from the date that I called. I asked if he had anything sooner? They were really booked up. So I would suggest that if you purchase the coupon - - - try to book the service right after your purchase, especially if you need the painting to be done fairly quickly. I probably waited too long to book it, and I had to wait around at least three weeks if I remember correctly. I felt like I was booking a really popular doctor! i.e. and quot;Dr. So and So can't see you until such and such month.and quot;
Also - - read the coupon carefully. I thought that, when the painter was at my house, the painter would be able to either paint OR prep (i.e. do some plastering, sanding, etc.) however when I spoke to the guy on the phone he was very clear and said and quot;This is just to paint, not to prep. All your prep work already needs be done by the time we get there.and quot;
I suppose in my mind I'm thinking - - if the walls need to be prepped, and I'm buying all the materials, and I'm trying out your company with a coupon for one day so I can determine whether I like you so I can hire you to do the entire rest of the job for the next couple of days (in which I would then pay you full price for those days) then why would you want me to call a different company to do the prep work just so that you can come to only paint? My thinking is that I'm getting a and quot;painter for a dayand quot; and most painting companies offer prepping and painting services. It sort of goes hand-in-hand, no? If I'm buying all the materials, does it really matter if the guy spends seven hours painting or seven hours prepping? But they are very literal about it. The painter will only paint.
**In no way am I knocking the company. I'm just saying, don't be like me and imagine anything other than what's exactly on the coupon! :)**
When I went back and read the coupon, I do believe that what he said was in line with the coupon. The coupon was just slightly vague, and I could have probably argued about this point, but I chose not to. I knew I was going to have to wait a few weeks anyway so there was more than enough time for my friend to prep my place as much as possible beforehand and I paid him to do it instead of the painting company.
He was also very clear about what kind of paint I should purchase. and quot;Make sure to buy Behr Paint with Primer already in it. That will make the job go faster and it will look better.and quot; I found that very helpful because it made purchasing all of the paint a lot easier for me. It narrowed down the field considerably and made everything really simple. And, I wholeheartedly agree with him - it did come out very nice.
I asked him and quot;How much space do you think the painter would be able to cover?and quot; I told him I had a two bedroom condo. He said and quot;He could probably paint your whole apartment in a day.and quot;
On the day of the painting, the painter arrived. I know it said and quot;Painter for a Dayand quot; but for some reason I was wondering why the guy was alone. I guess I thought and quot;How is one guy going to be able to paint my whole two bedroom apartment in one day?and quot;
The guy's name was Jorge and he was VERY nice and VERY professional. He did an absolutely incredible job, considering that my friend still hadn't really prepped the surfaces so perfectly. He was very helpful and easy to work with. I was a bit scared from the call that maybe the painter would only paint on certain surfaces, so I felt incredibly lucky when he agreed to paint the ceilings as well as the walls.
So the good news is that while they only paint (when you buy the coupon) - - rest assured that they will paint anything you want!
At 3 PM on the dot, he started packing up to leave. (He arrived at 8 AM). Again - - back to reading the coupon - it was very clear that it was for and quot;up to 7 hoursand quot; of service.
Of course he was not able to paint my entire apartment in just 7 hours, so that's another area where these things can become vague. i.e. Here's my thinking on this... How much space does 7 hours of painting cover? It really depends, right? On the color used, and the size of the space, and the quality of the surface. I would have preferred an answer like that when booking the service instead of something that ended up to be not totally realistic.
However, I do have to say that he painted A LOT of surface area, and he worked really hard during that 7-hour period. Also, when he arrived we chatted about and quot;what surfaces could we realistically cover in seven hours.and quot; We agreed upon the surfaces he would cover, and at the end of the day he did deliver on that agreed upon plan so Jorge managed his time well.
OK so overall, I highly recommend them and would just say that, if purchasing a coupon remember to book early (since tons of people are probably buying the same coupon), and be reasonable in your own estimate of what $199 and 7 hours will cover in your apartment since the company does not come out and do a site check to give you a customized idea, and listen to them when they tell you what materials you need.

The owner of the company was there to supervise for 75% of the work and was very polite and considerate. We will definitely be using them again and have recommended this company several times.

Frank worked with me and was very flexible as I only had a limited time frame that I would be in the area to contract this work on a rental property. He was timely and thorough, and had full knowlege of what needed to be done.
I was told to expect the estimate within a week, but received the estimate the very same day!
Frank was also great when the job had to be postponed due to pending Homeowner's Association approval. As soon as the approval was received, he was able to reschedule the job.
Job was done in a timely manner, without any concerns. The finished product was great! I did have to call him after the job was done because the door was forgotten, and he responded immediately and went back to complete the work.
I would highly recommend this company and I will be sharing his information with anyone in the area looking for a quality painter.

I used Angies List to find this guy, he was super responsive and even agressive in starting the work right after the estimate.. This should have been a red flag. I was interested in taking him up on a and quot;dealand quot; such as painting door frame
Now advertising on Living Social 7 hours of interior painting for $249. This is very similar to what he was offering from angies list as well. I thought i could at least get that amount deducted from what ever else was done. Instead i was charged a premium because the walls had been painted over too many times.
The work agreed upon wasn not done. Two workers were left to do the work that i had discussed with the boss. It took three trips back and the owner to actually perform the work before it was even acceptable.

My painter, George, was professional, arrived on time and did everything I asked him to.
I am so pleased with the work that I am having them back out next week.

Iand quot;m just happy to have that job done.
