Mr. Givens was very responsive. My deck never looked better after the work was completed. The workers were very careful in applying the stain, making sure none reached the paint trim or siding. The crew even touched up my paint trim that was removed by the steam cleaning. The company was very professional and the crew knew exactly what to do. Considering the heat and the sun, they did an excellent job.
Description of Work: Givens first steam cleaned the deck. Three days later per agreement, they stained and sealed the deck with 2 coats of a Cabot product.

Larry Givens came out on a Saturday and spent about an hour looking at the house. He was very friendly and professional. A few days later, we got a written quote from him in the mail. I was so happy with the price, I didn't even get other estimates. Larry's crew started about a week later, and finished the house within about a week. The crew cleaned up every night. They worked quickly, quietly and professionally. I'm extremely impressed with the quality of their work. There was not a speck of paint anywhere that paint shouldn't be. The caulk on the windows and doors was very nicely done. The repairs that were needed were done for a very reasonable price, and I didn't have to find a carpenter. These guys were pros too; all the rotten scrap wood was hauled away. The only complaint I had was a few drips on the porch column, and these were fixed as soon as I brought them up. These are great people, and I'm very glad I used them.
Description of Work: Larry's small crew, led by Joseph, painted all wood trim on my 4500 square foot 4-sided brick home, including a large front porch. They replaced a six-foot section of soffit at the highest point (about 30 feet up), and a rotten piece of brink molding on one window.

Mr. Givens runs a quality company. He was quick to provide an estimate and very attentive to our questions and requests. His crew arrived promptly, worked long hours, kept the work area free of paint on trees/bushes/sidewalk, and worked very quietly. Mr. Givens did a wonderful job matching the paint and stain to the existing colors of the house as well. There are four condo owners of this house and everyone is very pleased with their work. I highly recommend using this company for painting projects (exterior or interior).
Description of Work: Mr. Givens provided a prompt, reasonable estimate after arriving on-time to discuss the project. As he was inspecting our deck and fence to prepare his estimate, he offered good advice about staining vs. painting. After we decided to hire him, his crew power washed the deck, sealed the fence, fill cracks and sealed the deck and support beams, and applied paint and stain to the deck. They also painted a downspout and re-secured a window screen.

Mr. Givens quickly responded to my inquiry and gave me an estimate. After I selected Mr. Givens, he set a date to do the work. Although he was unable to make his first date, he did keep me informed and finished the work within 48 hours of when originally scheduled. I was not home when the work was done but upon inspection I was thoroughly impressed with both the quality and the condition of the work site upon completion.
Description of Work: Repaired 20 year old kitchen ceiling with past water damage. Needed to match an intricate textured ceiling pattern.

After my initial call, Larry came over the following day to give us a bid. His quote was quite a bit less than other quotes we had received, so based on his quote and other Angie's List reports, we decided to use Larry. He was able to get a crew to our house in 1 week to start the job. His 2 guys arrived every morning at 9am and worked until 7pm. They spend a lot of time on prepping the house for painting (scraping, caulking, etc.) and found a few pieces of rotted wood that needed to be replaced. They did an excellent job with the painting and were very detailed oriented and paid special attention to bushes, etc. around the house. Each night, they cleaned up all of their supplies and put them in a discreet location. Larry did an excellent job color matching our paint and used a glossier paint on the trim and shutters which really makes our house look crisp. We are extremely happy with the job he did and would definitely recommend him.
Description of Work: Painted exterior of 2-story 2,500 square foot house.

I thought that they were very clean. They came early and stayed late. I also thought the whole job was very quick. The quality of the work was really good. Their grades truly reflect their service.
Description of Work: All the ceilings of my house were painted. That would make 10 rooms of ceiling. The paint was water based latex, they also did some carpentry and wood replacement on the exterior. They took at least a week, maybe more.

This contractor was very professional and he gave us a great estimate. We will probably go with him in the future, but need to budget ourselves accordingly. He was responsive to our questions and the bid he gave was the best so far.
Description of Work: This contractor came out and gave us an estimate on how much it would be to do some extensive preparation work on both the inside and outside of our 40000 square foot home, and then paint the entire place. This would include trim work, the primer and the final coats of high quality indoor and outdoor latex paint. No further work was done at this time. Estimate of $5,330.00

Larry is by far the best painter I have ever seen in all of the experiences I have had with painters. His work is excellent and I would highly recommend him. There was nothing wrong with anything he did and he is really good at painting. He worked in a timely manner and was very respectful and careful. He was very easy to talk to and he is a small company. He does the work himself.
Description of Work: Larry came and painted three rooms on the inside of my house. He had to remove wallpaper in one of the rooms and primed everything.

I am 100% satisfied with Larry and all of his team's work. Larry insists on "doing things right", and will not cut corners just to give you a cheaper price. He is very focused on the prep work, not just the finished painting. His guys are very skilled, quick (but not in a hurry), and very professional. His guys are tradesmen; i.e. painters, not laborers. Larry gives you a rare combination of high quality and reasonable pricing. I will use no one else for painting services.

I discussed this project in detail with Larry Givens when he came to my home to prepare his estimate. The estimate/proposal was adequately detailed with respect to the work that would be done and the price was fair. We were able to schedule the work quickly. The painting crew (two non-smokers) did exceptional work and the rooms look great! They worked steadily and finished the job quickly (two days). They moved and covered the furniture to protect it from the job. Clean up was excellent.

I was pleased with this company. They did show up on time and they called the day before to confirm the appointment. There were a couple lines in the ceiling that were noticeable. I called them and they did come back out and fix them for me. I had no problem getting them to do that. They were very professional and told me that they do back their work.
Description of Work: I had them replace the ceiling in the living room of my 2500 square foot home. The living room is about 400 square feet. I had a leak from my bathroom upstairs that caused the damage.

Larry Givens is a straight shooter. He was very prompt and polite. He followed through on everything he said he would do. He and his team did a great job on our house. All who worked on our home were employed by Given's Painting and they all seemed competent. They stayed focused on the job all the way through to completion. They were attentive to detail and did quality work. We will rehire them when we need additional painting or repair.
Description of Work: Replaced siding on one side of house (and multiple other pieces) with hardiplank, performed extensive carpentry repairs (e.g. sills, brickmolds, soffits, etc) and painted entire house (trim and siding) to effect color change.

Larry was punctual and professional when first meeting with him. He gave fair quotes and his crew (Jose and Francisco) performed very detailed work. They started at 9:00 am and worked until 6:00 pm every day until the job was done. We started with just hiring him for the roof work initially and added more work when my husband noticed the quality job the guys were doing and the fact that he liked Larry and trusted his judgment and suggestions when additional tasks needed to be included. He also helped us decide on paint colors for some of the rooms. The kitchen cabinets look like new!
Description of Work: They replaced rotted areas of roof and repainted as needed. Exterior windows on back of house were painted as well. Several interior rooms including two story ceilings were painted. They also did drywall repair to the kitchen ceiling where there had been a hole cut to repair a leak. The fronts of the kitchen cabinets were also regalzed as they were worn looking.

Larry was able to come out quickly to view the work that needed to be done and give us a quote. He was able to get a crew started the next day, and they even worked on Saturday. They completed the job in 3 days only taking Sunday off. When they stripped the wallpaper, there were actually 3 layers instead of one. There was a lot of extra work involved, but Larry honored his original quote. We were very pleased with the quality of the work. The painters seemed to be very experienced. They made sure that all the floors were covered and left everything neat.
Description of Work: Larry's crew stripped wallpaper in one room, painted two rooms, and did some touch-up work on a few spots that had been painted poorly by a prior owner.

Mr. Givens provided initial bid broken out for approx five work areas and a total with discount. Revised twice based on additional unforeseen damage to exterior. All charges substantiated. We were present at all times to verify. We paid for build materials. Contractor provided paint, nails, caulk,etc.We were surprised by amount of damage needing repair/replacement and Given's team insisted on doing job right with no quick-fix requiring action again in a year or so. We were pleased with the time they took and overall workmanship and quality with attention to detail. Work ethic was great and overall handyman skills vast. This was a seasoned team. Team responded well to specific work requests and did best to please. Job went from 7-8 day estimate to over three weeks-unavoidable due to scope increase. Saw owner several times but able to rely on on-site supervisor/lead. Job went well overall and house is solid and looks great. Well worth the extra time, cost and effort. Reasonable discount.
Description of Work: Complete outside painting/caulking include deck/stairs, touch-up inside painting and wall/ ceiling crack repair,refinish wood entry door, replaced several rotted wood window sills and casing and other areas with PVC No Rot whenever poss. Replaced water damaged picture window and surrounding trim, elaborate crown/dental molding front door two-story entrance repaired with much replaced and complete rebuild of water-damaged chimney. Installed crown molding in kitchen/breakfast nook/family room looks great! Super job custom matching prev interior paint when original not available. Manuel (supervisor/lead worker) and Comanche worked efficiently/effectively from early morning to late over three weeks with a consistent helpful, top-quality effort, pointing out legit problems discovered and quality long-term fixes. Price higher than other bids but worth because job done right. We paid for all building materials except paint/stain to keep costs down. Great job;nothing they couldn't handle!
