"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."
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!"
"They did a good job. She had to submit like a photo but my daughter had them work on the central are of the loft. The deal was for one room. She got a lot of good ideal from her and it was worth it for her. They were professional and I did not hear anything negative."
"Jake was very fast and thorough, he brought in all the equipment needed and the manpower to get the job done quickly! They didn’t sacrifice quality and we love the way our home looks after him and his crew did there work! They painted basically our whole house inside and the refaced the kitchen cabinets and drawers. And all for a very reasonable price!"
Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
