Description of Work: Jeff Kraft, (owner) was extremely prompt in providing an estimate and was able to accomodate our schedule to complete the work. We had old drywall in a garage that needed repaired in addition to new drywall placement and finishing. His repairs were excellent, and he provided advice regarding primer and paint selection, which ensured that the paint finish was smooth. We found some bubbles in the repaired section when we painted, called Jeff and he returned within a few days and cut out and rerepaired that section. Once painted, the second repair is invisible. New drywall placement and finishing was also very well done and we are extremely pleased with the entire project.

Jeff came out quickly to give us a bid. We had 3 bids total and decided to go with Jeff. He was the most reasonably priced. He showed up promptly went right work. He completed the job in 3 days. We are very happy with his workmanship. We did notice a few areas that needed some attention. He came out the same day as we called him and took care of this. We would definitely recommend Jeff.
Description of Work: Taped, mudded and sanded our drywall in our bathroom.

Enjoyed dealing with a true professional. Our original intention was to have Jeff do the drywall and we would follow up with painting but when he quoted us a price for painting we were more then happy to let him do all the work. He showed up when promised and completed the work when expected. The walls look gorgeous! The previous homeowner had wallpapered directly on raw drywall and when we removed the wallpaper the drywall paper came with it . We had someone come in and put a skim coat of plaster on the walls but it never really looked good. The ceiling in the family room has a texture treatment on it and there was a strip of smooth ceiling visible around the perimeter where we had removed some wood trim. He was able to match the texture exactly and now the ceiling looks great too! On the wall where our TV hangs he extended the electrical outlet so now the TV power cord no longer runs down the wall. From start to finish everything was done with first class workmanship.
Description of Work: Removed all drywall on family room walls. Installed new drywall. Taped, mudded & sanded. Installed new door trim and floor moldings. Primed & painted walls & ceiling. Hauled away all debris.

Well, in my older home, one thing led to another with a few issues and problems arising. These guys didnt flinch and performed all work paid for and even some more work that they didnt want to charge me for. Great guys, honest and hard working. I just had to give them $300 extra because I felt guilty. Yes really. I would highly recommend Gecko Painting and Affordable Installers to all of my friends and family.
Description of Work: I hired Jeff and his partner Dan from Affordable Installers to remove a wall between my kitchen and dining room.

He was very prompt about his bid and it was quite accurate. He started and finished on time and with a few add ons at my request. Both he and his partner were task oriented and pleasant folks to have around house. We had issues with my speakers (Bose) and Jeff went the extra mile to get it done right. He ended up rerunning every speaker wire. I ended up having to send system back to Bose for a refurb. We had had difficulty finding someone to do this job because it was so small. These guys were just right. I will use them again. In fact, we already have something scheduled for late January. If you have a renovation need for your home in the kitchen, basement or wherever these can do the job and do it well. The Drywall work and painting was excellent.
Description of Work: Family Room - Pulled down ceiling (water damage), wood beams and wood trim installed recess lighting, revamped my speaker system for HDTV and painted the entire room. Small repair to kitchen ceiling.

Jeff was: -Very affordable -Very nice/ friendly/ professional -He got the job done exactly in the time he said he would and was very clear about what that time would be -We are very happy with the finished room-- they did a great/ clean job -They cleaned up the space afterwards -Overall, we are very happy and would use this team again
Description of Work: I spoke with Jeff on the phone about our job and he came to look at it in person. He gave us an estimate, which was very competitive ($760 + materials [which ended up being under $100 since we had bought the drywall ourselves], to hang drywall and mud in an oddly shaped room with a low, sloped ceiling, that is ~450 square feet). He was backlogged at the time and so couldn't start the job for three weeks, but was very clear about his timeline. He and his partner started (and finished) the job when they said they would. They came Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, hung drywall, mudded, sanded and cleaned up. At one point in the job, they found that an electrical junction box needed to be moved and there was an area that needed framing, and so Jeff called me and explained what needed to be done and how much it would cost for them to do it (an extra $100). They did a really nice job, were very friendly and professional and we would definitely use them again.

My overall experience was okay. Jeff & his partner was very friendly & professional. They worked fast, took a 15 minute luch break in their truck and returned to complete the work. I was comfortable with them in my home, this is why I did not stand around them while they were working upstairs.
Description of Work: I needed the removal of (2) bathroom sinks & fixtures replaced with new sinks, vanities & fixtures. I spoke with Jeff & told him what I wanted. It was no problem for him and he even suggested a type of vanity that I approved of. A small version for the half bath & a larger version for the full bath, both identical. Jeff said that I coul price these items at Lowe's, which I did, and if I decided to go with him just call, which I did. Jeff was in the middle of a job but would be available at the end of the month and would give me a call. On 3-6-12 Jeff & his partner showed up and did my half bath first which I was very pleased with. After completing the full bath upstairs I assumed his work was the same, so I paid him & his partner separately per his request for tax purposes. After they left I went upstairs to view my larger vanity & sink only to find out that I had a completely different sink & vanity that was agreed upon. Also, the containers & packagings were left in my backyard for me to dispose of. My fault, I should have been more vigilant.

Description of Work: Jeff is a very professional person to work with and I have asked him to do extra work above the original scope of work and without any hesitation he has worked with me to get those jobs completed. I know I have probably added an additional week or two onto the work but he has been very nice to provide me the level of service I need. My wife and I decided to gut our master bathroom and have it redone along with the other work and this was a big undertaken for Jeff but he was very willing to get it done for us. I am attaching some pictures of the bathroom before and will post the pictures of the after once he is done. Anyone looking for quality service, quality work and a very great person to work with contact Jeff.

The overall project is coming along very well. We have ordered some materials that has taken some time to get in but that has not stopped Jeff from continuing on to do a very quality job. The week of October 23rd should begin the real new look of the house we can't wait.
Description of Work: Right now my wife and I are going through a huge home remodeling project that Jeff and Dan are performing. We are having a bathroom redone, a few rooms painted, flooring and window accessories added. Jeff gave me a very reasonable price to do this job and even though it was not much for a home owner to tackle I just don't have the time to do and Jeff has come in and done a very wonderful job so far. The project is only about 1/4? done but what he has done so far has been very high quality work. More to come as the project continues

Jeff Kraft of Gecko Painting Company presented to me options and ideas to save money both in materials and labor during his visit to give an estimate on the work. I verified his license and hired him to do the work. Jeff and his associate Dan arrived at 9:30 am as promised. The work days were about 8 to 9 hours long with a lunch break. Jeff consulted with me regarding details as they arose. They worked consistently and completed the job in a timely manner. They did need to take an extra day to deal with unforeseen complications but did not increase the fee. They were careful to maintain the cleanliness of my home. Clean up was performed by them at the end of each day. They presented themselves as gentlemen and I was comfortable having them in my home and around my young children. (No cursing etc.) I was very impressed with the workmanship on the custom made counter-just beautiful! Some of my materials were not yet available by the scheduled work dates and so I called them when the materials finally arrived. Even though I had already paid in full, they scheduled and returned promptly to finish the job.
Description of Work: Kitchen remodel. 2 new custom counter tops; new granite ledge/counter; new sink, faucet and plumbing; new additional base cabinets, drawers and cupboards; granite tile; ceiling drywall repair; move electrical outlets; new molding/trim. Price included all materials and labor.
