Eugen Hartmeier offered the lowest bid to paint the exterior of our 2,000 s.f. house and, at our request, provided valuable feedback on our proposed color scheme. While preparing the siding, however, Eugen discovered that the previous owner had applied the existing paint over stain without using any stain-killing primer. That meant the existing paint -- and any paint applied over it -- might not adhere well over time. The alternative to applying new paint would be to strip the entire exterior and apply stain, all of which would greatly increase the cost -- especially since we already had purchased the paint. For budgetary reasons, we decided to accept the risk and go forward with the new paint.
Eugen told us how long the job would take, maintained a consistent pace, and completed the work on the day specified. Both his color recommendation and the quality of his work proved to be excellent. He transformed the bland and dated appearance of our house into a modern beauty, while also caulking every seam and replacing every rotted trim board.
Because of our positive experience with Eugen, we turned to him again this spring when a leaking water pipe damaged our ceiling. Again, he made a reasonable bid, completed the work on time, and did a fine, professional job.
I would recommend Hartmeier for exterior house painting, but Eugen has informed me that he is now doing interior décor only. Nevertheless, his forthright, professional demeanor, reasonable prices, honest appraisals, sense of color and composition, and exceptional work standards all make it very easy to recommend Hartmeier Custom Painting for any décor issues you may have.

I had been to many jewelers - very well established jewelers in fact, and they all had rings too expensive with stones much too small. I could have waited and saved more money but my friend recommended Hampton Jewelers. She told me both of her sons did their jewelry shopping there and highly recommended them. I went in and a wonderful young lady named Alison helped me. They didn't have any stocked rings that suited me but I told her what I was looking for and my budget. I did not expect to hear back from her. Much to my surprise, she had done some research and emailed me pictures of rings that they could make - they were beautiful. I picked the one I wanted and was extremely excited that it met all of my needs including my budget! I don't purchase a lot of jewelry but when I do I will not waste my time going anywhere else.

The owner Dylan Leighton, was very polite during his appraisal at my home! His overall job was amazing too. His pricing for what he did was well worth it!! I have recommended him to many others & they were very pleased as well. Give this young man your business!
What a lovely guy. He came the day after I called, arrived a little early, and got the job done cheerfully and with lots of explanation. He then disemboweled an antique clock and took it home to repair. We have another clock not worth repairing but he told me everything about it I would...

"It went great! We found Fisher Precious Metals on Angie's List, and after googling them, we found they had very positive reviews across the web. Although it was a 45 minute drive from our home, we felt it might be worth it, and it was. We made an appointment with John via email, arrived at 11:00, and spent just over an hour in his office. He evaluated the sterling silver set we had to sell and gave us what we felt was a very fair price. He'd given us an estimate on the value of the gold coins via email, and although the price of gold had fluctuated since he'd provided the quote, the final price was very, very close to the initial quote. We were happy to learn that they will also buy jewelry, as I have a few pieces I haven't worn in a very long time. We were very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely return to their company when we have gold or silver to sell, and we're happy to recommend them to our friends. One thing to keep in mind is that sterling silver sets are basically worth the price of the silver itself. We knew that going in, so we were not disappointed and, in fact, the price we received was a little higher than we'd expected."
