"Jeremy was very professional and answered all our questions about painting our house. His estimate was reasonable and we scheduled a starting time. Due to terrible weather, the start was pushed back a bit but he kept in touch with us. He did a great job, was prompt and efficient, and he also repaired a bit of wood on the back of the house that had some rotting issues. I would recommend his service and we will be hiring him again."
