+ -1 moreTHEY INITIALLY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE DONE IN 3 DAYS, IT TOOK 3 WEEKS. I TOOK EVERYTHING OFF THE WALLS AND MOVED THINGS TO THE CENTER OF THE ROOM AS THEY HAD ASKED. WHEN I CAME HOME, THEY HAD PUT FOOT PRINTS ALL OVER MY COUCH, HAD PAINT ON MY TUXEDO AND BLACK SUIT, AND HAD BROKEN THE GLASS OF A DISPLAY FRAME. THEY DID CLEAN MY CLOTHES AND REPLACED THE GLASS AND THE FRAME, BUT THE WORK WAS NEVER UP TO PAR. AT THE END OF IT ALL, AFTER POINTING OUT MANY PROBLEMS, I AGREED TO JUST GET THEM OUT OF MY HOUSE AS OPPOSED TO LETTING IT DRAG ON. THEY KEPT MY SUIT AND TUX UNTIL I AGREED TO LET THEM OFF THE HOOK. HE GAVE ME A LOT OF EXCUSES AND BULL, AND TRIED TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD FOR WANTING A GOOD JOB DONE. IT WAS A REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE AND I WOULD NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.
Description of Work: INTERIOR HOUSE PAINTING AND REPAIRS.

+ -1 moreA-1'S INITIAL RESPONSIVENESS WAS VERY GOOD. IN REVIEWING THE SITUATION, DEVELOPING THE PLAN, PROVIDING A BID, AND DOING THE WORK ON AN AGGRESSIVE TIME SCHEDULE, AND OFFERING A LOT OF HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS THE RESULTS WERE EXCELLENT. PRICE WAS 20% HIGHER THAN ANOTHER BID, BUT COMPANY WAS AVAILABLE TO DO THE WORK WHEN NEEDED. HOWEVER, WORKERS DAMAGED A HAND TRUCK BELONGING TO THE BUILDING AND DID MINOR DAMAGE TO THE APARTMENT ENTRY DOOR. CORRECTION OF THESE PROBLEMS DID NOT OCCUR AS PROMISED, AND PHONE CALLS WERE NOT RETURNED UNTIL A DEMANDING LETTER WAS FAXED TO THE OFFICE. THE PROBLEMS WERE THEN TAKEN CARE OF WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIVE APOLOGIZED FOR LACK OF FOLLOW-THROUGH DURING HIS ABSENCE. HOWEVER HE ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAD UP TO A YEAR TO FINISH THE JOB, DESPITE SPECIFIC TIME LINES IN THE CONTRACT. THIS ATTITUDE IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND IS THE REASON I WOULD NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THE COMPANY AGAIN.
Description of Work: DEMOLITION OF ABOUT 11 FEET OF WALL, SHORTENING OF ANOTHER WALL, RELOCATION OF ONE ELECTRICAL SWITCH, TEMPORARY CUT-OFF OF TWO ELECTRICAL OUTLETS, AND REPAIR OF CEILING AND WALL.

+ -1 moreA HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. THEY FIRST DIAGNOSED A LEAK AS BEING CAUSED BY OUR DORMER AND CHIMNEY, WHICH THEY DID EXTENSIVE WORK, AND THEN LATER BY OUR TUB. VERY POOR QUALITY OF WORK, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND AN EMPLOYEE INDEPENDENTLY CONTRACTED ADDITIONAL WORK THAT BECAME A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE.
Description of Work: ORIGINALLY CALLED THEM FOR ROOF REPAIR.
