professional painters for some 21-24 total man hours ? a typical work day.
When Mr. O'Hara arrived to survey the job, he suggested the actual labor would exceed the scope of the special. I accepted that and made adjustments in my expectations. Mr. O'Hara assured me I would be happy with the results. I pointed out several small nail holes and drywall nail ?pops? that needed to be filled and repaired before painting. Mr. O'Hara assured me all would be taken care of; he was so busily focused on telling me I would be happy that I believe he never heard my requests to do the spackling repairs. In addition, I asked him to estimate the amount of paint needed and gave him a check to purchase 5 gallons; the boys and I used 2 gallons, leaving 3 gallons of no use to me.
I could not pin down the date when the work would begin. When I inquired, Mr. O''Hara assured me ?soon,? as he was finishing another job. This continued for approximately two months. When Mr. O'Hara finally called, he gave me one evening to prepare for the work the following day. I moved all the furniture/pictures out of the work area.
On work day, two young men arrived on schedule, with Mr. O'Hara following a half hour later. He instructed the young men about what to do, left and never returned. The two young men ?completed? the entire scope of the job in 6.5 hours (13 man hours). When I inquired about the ?three painters for one day? I was informed the boys would return the following day to paint another room. I moved the furniture from the work site. The two young men ?completed? painting another room. In total, they completed 18 man hours of work. I believe the young men did what they were instructed by Mr. O'Hara to do.
The reasons for my dissatisfaction include Mr. O'Hara assured me nail holes and drywall nail pops would be fixed. They were not ? they were painted over. I fixed them myself and painted over them. Light switch cover plates were not removed from the walls being painted. Around several light switch covers there was a ½ inch margin on the wall where no paint was applied at all ? leaving an unpainted ?halo? around the switch cover. I had to paint these myself. These oversights weren't noticed the first night due to lighting.
Overall, this was a highly frustrating experience. I have taken much time thinking about this review and shared the opportunities for improvement with the O'Haras. I feel it is my obligation to other Angie's List members to write that I?d recommend against using them for smaller, interior painting jobs."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/kingsley/dun-rite-painting-reviews-4730964.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Magic Painting Service","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Amy B."},"reviewBody":"Marcos was very prompt, and flexible when my plumbers weren't working as fast as they projected, and then he was able to bring in a crew to get all the patching from my repipe done in just 1.5 days so I could get to the painting sooner.

Patio Cover Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Garfield, MI
We had a couple of overgrown hedges alongside our patio that needed trimming but we value our privacy too. Riley took the time to listen to our needs and deliver results at a good value. 100% pleased with the work he conducted and so thankful for his professional service.
Ruined finish, applied chemical not recommended, incorrect measurements, resulting in additional molding to cover mistakes and compound buffing of walls to restore original finish. Unfortunately he walked off job and we have to hire someone to come in and clean up his mistakes.

We hired Parshalls to remove two dead oak trees from my son's home. In the quote it said a thorough clean up of the work area would be done. What we got was they left a good majority of the brush and bark behind. One of the trees bounced and smashed out grandson's sand box. Then they first...

FAQs for patio cover service projects in Garfield, MI
While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
The cost of an awning is $1,400 to $4,400 on average. However, this cost could be as low as $100 or as high as $7,500, depending on a few factors. The type of awning you choose, the size you need, and your location all affect your overall cost.
For example, portable awnings you can put up and take down yourself range from $100 to $400, whereas motorized awnings are more luxurious and cost between $2,000 and $3,500.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
Besides the type of awning, you’ll need to choose the type of cover. Your awning installation professional will review your options with you, including availability and costs. The types of covers you can choose from include:
Wood, which is durable but can be damaged easily by rainwater and fire
Cotton offers flexibility, weatherproofing, and easy cleaning
Canvas is highly durable and is a good choice for retractable awnings
Metal is sturdy but is prone to rust
Polyester is easy to clean and is a more breathable option
Polycarbonate is highly resistant to UV rays and is difficult to damage
