Get matched with top home builders in Red Oak, GA

"On or about September 25, 2025, I contacted Angi to hire a professional painter to paint the exterior of my home. Later that day I received a call from Kelly from Atlanta Painting Company and set a date for September 26, 2025 @ noon for a free estimate. On September 26, 2025, I received a text from Michael C. Goodin stating that he could come at 11: 00 am and conduct the estimate. Michael walked around my property and quoted an estimate of $3,375.82, I thought that was high from simply painting the trim of my home, but the HOA was involved, and I needed to get this done, so I agreed. I received an email from Allysa Escalante from Atlanta Painting Company stating that they would like to start the work on Tuesday September 30, 2025. I received another emailed that same day from Cynthia Hendry from Atlanta Painting Company stating that the crew would arrive on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, the length of the job would take three days, requested the $1,013.95 deposit and other related information. I thought it was odd that Michael texted me later that day pushing for the $1,013.95 deposit as this was a Friday, so I sent the deposit. On Monday September 29, 2025, I received an email from Jorge Arredondo, (project manager), for Atlanta Painting Company stating that he and the painting crew would arrive on Tuesday September 30, 2025, between 8:30 to 9:30 am to start the job. On September 30, 2025, at about 9:30, a two-man crew that did not speak English showed up, no Jorge Arredondo, (the English-speaking project manager) and attempted to communicate with me requesting I do a walk around my property to verify the estimate. This was something I could not do as I am a disabled veteran with a total knee replacement, and I told Michael about this. I contacted Michael by text and asked him why Jorge was not here, and he could not give me an answer other than Jorge was calling my phone as we texted. I told Michael to have Jorge leave a message. On that same day, Jorge left a message stating that he would be at my home the next day at 9:30 am and we would discuss why he failed to communicate with me. On October 1, 2025, @ 9:30 am the two-man crew that did not speak English showed up, no Jorge. I text Jorge about his lateness and lack of communication. I informed him that I was not happy with the quality of service, and I would speak to Michael about this. I contact Michael and stated that I have a big problem with Jorge’s lateness, lack of communication and quality of service. Michael stated that I should give Jorge another chance and that he vouches for this guy, I told Michael that’s not going to happen. You only get one chance to make a good impression. I when on to discuss items on the estimate the was either not done or should have been removed prior to September 30, 2025. These items were the back basement door; it should not have been on the estimate because I didn’t ask for that work to be done and the removal of the cost concerning the vinyl windows as they cannot be painted. I also requested an itemization of the estimate and how he came to the $3,375.82 quote. Michael stated that his company does not individually itemize their estimates. I informed Michael that we need to go over the numbers before reaching a final payment, he agreed. I also asked Michael are you just a salesman or are you the contractor? Michael never responded. Later that day, the two-man, non-English-speaking crew asked for final payment. I don’t know if they understood me when I told them I would speak to Michael and Jorge concerning that. These two men waited outside my property for about 30 minutes. I contact Michael again via text and asked why they are still here, what are they waiting for and do I need to call the police? I received no reply from Michael and the two men left shortly after.Angi It was my understanding that Michael and I would go over the estimate and agree on a lower price since there was no contract for the final payment, and that never happen. I am unsure if the work was properly done, since Michael and Jorge stopped communicating with me and the Atlanta Painting Company just disappeared. [Non first hand experience redacted] There was no supervision by Jorge to ensure the job with done right and, I believe the two painters were un-documented. I contacted Angi to avoid issues like this. I really don’t know who came to my home and why it got weird when I asked more questions. I set my home security system each night as I fear for the safety of myself and family because of this interaction. I expect a full refund of my deposit of $1,013.95 and no further communications anyone from Atlanta Painting Company"

"slow response times. no onsite visit, so had to confirm all measures myself. good product in the end."

"We needed a new garage door opener installed. Steve is very knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. We highly recommend him and will use him in the future for all our garage door needs."

"Pete Duda great job. He removed a large wood stove and large platform of brick it was sitting on. He installed an electric fireplace insert. He was very considerate in covering furniture and cleaning up all debris. I am enjoying my new fireplace. I highly recommend Pete . He is a professional and a true craftsman."

"as advertised"

"My house had extensive water damage requiring $85K of complex repairs. Insurance paid for it but I had to select a contractor. All South Restoration was recommended to me and I'm very happy that I decided to hire them. First, they identified many repair items that were missed by a professional insurance adjuster and, based on their professional estimate and reputation, insurance agree to pay for additional repairs which saved me many thousands $$$ as otherwise I would have to pay for these repairs from my own pocket later on. Second, despite complexity of the project and current shortages of materials, the project was completed on time, as promised at the beginning, and on budget which means all the house repair cost was covered 100% by insurance and overall the house looks better than before flooding. Third, quality of work and materials is great and as promised with frequent and detail communication during the entire project. Since they were recommended to me, I'm passing on my sincere recommendation of All South Restoration services for any house repair or remodeling project."

"It went very well."

"Southern Specialty Contractor LLC, gave me an estimate on my property to install a roof and I agreed to move forward after all parties agreed to a price. I informed the representative Manny that we were on a strict budget and could only afford what we were quoted. He did a complete assessment of the roof and said he thought we would be fine with the price quoted and did not anticipate any additional problems based on his knowledge and expertise. My husband and I decided to move forward because he seemed to be an honest person. We paid half of the invoice and the other half was due at completion. We never got a phone call, text or email stating that they found any additional problems. Unfortunately, when the job was completed they sent an invoice with an additional $1995. I called and told them they made a mistake on the invoice and I was told that they found some additional issues and addressed them without my permission. I have never in my life heard of a company making additional repairs to a property without discussing it with the homeowner. I believe this is a scam. They submitted a lower bid to get the job and inflated it after the work was completed. This man had the nerve to file suit against me for repairs that I didn't approve. I have a feeling that this is how they do business. That is very unprofessional to inflate a price without discussing it with the customer. I will definitely see him in court. Please shop around before you do business with this company. I REFUSE to allow him to scam me. I wish I could give zero stars. He was paid in Full for the services provided."

"To Stavros (The grandmaster), Mike (The cabinet doctor), Edgar (The backsplash whisperer), and Anesti (The Master of plumbing), and to all the supporting individuals who came to paint the walls and help clean up, we express our deepest thanks and gratitude. We’re thrilled to share our exceptional experience with the kitchen renovation completed by this contractor seven months ago. Their attention to detail, skilled craftsmanship, and commitment to timelines have transformed our kitchen into a stunning and functional space right before the birth of our first child. From the initial design phase to the final touches, every step was handled with professionalism, expertise, and care. Even during personal difficulty and loss that occurred during the renovation, the quality of work never faltered yet surpassed our expectations, and we continue to enjoy the results daily. We will definitely use them for other renovations we want to do. We highly recommend this contractor for anyone seeking a top-notch kitchen renovation. Steve & Matthania"

"Everyone at Plantation Renovation was so friendly. They worked with me on some of my “unique” requests - creating a mudroom out of a closet, building custom made doors, etc. We are very happy with the final product."
