We made an appointment for an estimate, and they came out promptly. We were pleased with the estimate. They did an excellent painting job, showed a commitment to detail, quality work, and completed the project to our full satisfaction. We would not hesitate to use this company again or recommend to friends and neighbors.
You will not be disappointed with this company. My Project Coordinator, Adam Almony was just great! I cannot say enough about him. Very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. His professionalism when he came to do the estimate is the main reason that I decided to go with this company over the other two who gave me quotes. Their pricing was in line with others.
The job began as scheduled and was completed in about 2-3 days.
After the work was completed we walked through and created a small punch list. Adam sent the crew out right away to address the items on my list.
When we did a second walk through and still had some concerns, I called Adam and he promised to address them. I was so confident that he was a man of his word, that when he asked if I didn't mind paying my balance before the issues were addressed, I said ok - and I never say that.
As promised, soon after, Adam drove down from Baltimore to a look at the work and agreed that some items still needed to be addressed. A crew member (Saul) was sent out a few days later.
I am a very happy customer who will not hesitate to hire them again and recommend them to others.
"We are a little surprised by your review. I think you have us confused with another company. Our records indicate we provided exterior work for you in October of 2013 for a different price and location than you mentioned above. From our understanding, upon the completion of the job last fall, you were 100% satisfied with the work we provided. We have attempted to contact you by phone, please contact us as soon as possible to resolve this issue. Sincerely, The Blue Sky Team"
All in all, highly recommended.
Other than the actual meet up, it went well. The paint was of high quality, the painters did a nice job and I am pleased with the outcome. The price IMO could be just a tad lower as I honestly had two and a half walls painted.....but you go with what's comfortable for you.
I would recommend them to anyone.
The crew was a different story, however. Two workers (with minimal English skills) & a supervisor (Durian was his name, as I recall) came out to do the job. Adam said it would probably take a day-and-a-half but the crew seemed to be rushing to finish it that one day. Sure enough, when I inspected their work the next morning in good light I found several problems: the re-caulking was poorly done, some painted trim edges were sloppy, a repaired PVC trim piece wasn't planed down before being painted. Worst of all, the one top level piece of trim that was to be replaced with PVC had not been - and this was written down in our Blue Sky contract. The workers had left sawdust, wood scraps & TWO NAILS in our driveway, too.
We got Adam back out here & showed him all the problems. He was respectful, attentive & agreed with us that the job was not professional work. He apologized to us & promised to make it right. The team came back, made the corrections, replaced the top level trim with PVC & painted it, re-did the poor caulking & sloppy trim edges.
I gave Blue Sky an "A" because when all was said & done, Adam made it a success. Without his efforts & interpersonal skills this would not have been rated an "Excellent" experience. We were confident in Adam's representation of what Blue sky could do for us at the beginning & he didn't disappoint. We will hire this company again because of this ultimate guarantee of satisfactory service.
"Thank you for choosing Blue Sky Painting & Carpentry. We really appreciate your patience and willingness to give us the opportunity to meet your expectations. We value your business and look forward to serving you again in the future."
I especially enjoyed the fact that one of the main workers was a woman. She was intelligent, very polite, and fun to talk to. Plus she is an avid reader and a Jane Austen fan. As all the painters were leaving she asked me about a few of the author's books she had noticed on my shelves in the living room. So we quickly exchanged our views on a few of Jane's books and movies before she left.
