Description of Work: Extensive painting (interior and exterior), wallpaper prep, measuring for window treatments, furniture assembly, exterior power washing, gutter cleaning.

Description of Work: The primary reason for my call to Ed Galley was to get an estimate for him to RE-PAINT a room previously painted (horribly) by another painter ( prior to my finding Ed ). When Ed arrived I asked if he would take a look at my sump pump. I expained to him that altho' it would "kick on" occasionally, I had been spending hours in the basement sweeping water toward the pump. I was literally sick ( and very sore), and was anxious to have the pump repaired or replaced. Ed wasn't in the basement 2 minutes when he yelled up to me to go downstairs. He had noticed that something wasn't right with my furnace, and upon closer scrutiny realized I had carbon monoxide leaking from the furnace. ( Ed is also a medic which is why, fortunately, he knew to look for the CO leak).He immediately left for Home Depot and returned with all new piping AND 3 carbon monoxide detectors and set to work repairing the furnace. He then installed a new sump pump (old pump was beyond repair), a new dehumidifier, and removed all the wet boxes,etc. to avoid a problem with mold! As he was rearranging/removing things from the basement he happened to notice frayed electrical wires. He opened the electrical box to see that the wires were "arcing" (?), meaning sparks were shooting from the wires. He called his electrician to come ASAP. The electrician said it was "a miracle the house hadn't burned to the ground". Ed stayed with the electrician until the work was complete. I have done my best to recall everything that transpired that day to point out Ed Galley's attention to detail. Every one of us has at least one nightmare story of workers doing a poor job, leaving the work site in deplorable condition, or never showing up at all. We've all met the "Professional" who arrives to deliver an impressive sales pitch and become our new best friend as we write a check for the Deposit. We don't see our new friend until the next payment is due! Ed Galley sets a date to start a job and Ed Galley shows up every day until the job is finished... TO YOUR SATISFACTION. We never discussed the painting that day.... he had already put in 9 hours!!!
