The Lookswell team, especially Jim, Omar & Cindy, were exceptionally professional & dedicated to the task. The final work looks great, appreciated the level of experience that allowed them to deal with our old house.

We used Lookswell for multiple projects over the summer and it all worked out great. They were very punctual, worked extremely hard, very efficient with their time, fast and, for the money, I'd absolutely hire the team again!

I Called Lookswell and spoke to Cindy to set up an estimate. Jim came out on time to inspect the bathroom and we were pleased he took safety seriously by wearing mask and booties. We got the estimate and they came back with in a week and painted it. Very pleased with the results. All staff were professional and safe.

Lookswell did an amazing job repairing the broken window frame at my home. They refinished the paint on my frame, and make sure that it matched the existing wall colors perfectly! It looks like it was never damaged. Will hire again for future repairs!

They set me up for an estimate over two weeks in advance at 230pm and then called at 200pm (30 minutes before they were supposed to be at my home) on a day when I left work early to be home when they arrived, to tell me they couldn't make it. They suggested 445pm which I said no to as I figured they wouldn't make that time either. Totally unprofessional, come on 30 MINUTES NOTICE?!?! Avoid like th...

I am sorry that you feel this way about what happened. My office had called you to explain I would be late. When I arrived at my 1pm estimate I was greeted by an elderly lady that could hardly breath, she was in distress, so I called 911. They arrived within minutes and after treatments she was taken to the hospital. I called the emergency number on the fridge, notified the daughter and waited for...

Lookswell did a wonderful job. They were flexible in working around the schedule of the door delivery to our house, and put three coats of varnish on the doors. They have done a lot of other painting of the interior of our house, and I expect nothing less than superb work from them. I was not disappointed!
