"They sent about 15 workers and 8 hours later we have a brand roof! They were very professional, covered my flowers and landscaping before doing the job, went through the yard after with a magnet to do all the cleaning up of the left over parts and nails. They were very careful with the job overall and did an amazing job."
"Jeff did an amazing job. He designed a gate to go across the stairs that works perfectly without taking up space. I still get compliments on the job he did. I would HIGHLY recommend him for a job."
Painting itself was excellent. The painters were neat for the most part. although we did find some small paint spots on the carpet.. Edge lines looked good, and we found very few defects that required correction. They did refer a problem with blotchy coverage to the manufacturer, who refunded the price of the paint for the bathroom, provided new paint, but did not pay for the labor involved in repainting that room.
Our major problems came with the estimate and billing. The original estimate was for $3200, and the final bill was over $4400. Our contact, Chris, blamed the difference on the fact that they underestimated the amount the number of coats and amount of paint that was required. Also, we found discrepancies in the amount we were billed for paint. This was blamed on the fact that they were doing work for "two Kathy's" and got the invoices mixed up. We had to argue with them to get the discounts we were initially promised. The job was originally estimated to be completed in 3 to 5 days, but took 2 1/2 weeks. They started painting on 8/13 and we did not settle our billing issues until 12/24. We tired of arguing with them and ended up paying for $73 in supplies they could not account for.
Also, they offered to give us a bill reduction in the amount of our Angie's List membership if we gave them a favorable review.
We would look elsewhere when we need painters again.
"I did not go with this company, they refunded my money because I didn't like their design. I've reviewed this before. Please can you stop these requests to do a review. "
"The work was done quickly, and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The only delay was waiting for the electric company to do their part. I'm thrilled to have my panels up and running!"
