"My experience with Handyman Connection was terrible. I will never utilize them again and caution others that are considering them. I had a exterior painting project that was quoted in May 2024 and the project was not completed until late September due to the poor work and damages that were caused to my gutter system that I found after they were “finished”. No workers came and informed me of the damages. So when the worker’s came to me to come and take a look at their work I found half my house was painted in a different color than the other half! Eight sections of my gutter system were damaged and needed to be replaced and my brown garage door was now a shade of purple! To top things 25% of the surfaces that were to be painted and included in the original quote was never painted! I was also not informed of this by the workers and found this out when I questioned them. I spoke to Management about my concerns and there was no rush to remedy the situation and no consideration to reducing the quoted price at all. They also left paint on a number of my windows and door frames and when you have bronze frames and beige paint splattered on them it is very obvious to the eye but no effort to remove those spill/drips. I could go on with the issues that I had but I will end by using a very popular saying “Caveat Emptor” or Let the Buyer Beware! They have some good reviews but I certainly do not have anything good to say about the service and the outcome I had with them. I will say the workers themselves were very nice but that’s as much as I can say nice about my experience."

"We hired Hadley’s painting to paint multiple rooms and a two story stairwell. Todd was very prompt and professional. He was very detailed in preparing the rooms before painting. We are extremely pleased with the work and look forward to using Hadley’s painting in the future."

"Wonderful. Bill and his team were great to work with and the final product is just stunning. Our 115 year old house had so many old patch jobs, dead vines and discolorations, it needed a lot of help. Bill and his team re-patched the problem areas, chipped out old stucco, helped identify a long-term water issue and re-scathed the entire house. Our 115 year old house looks new again."

"It went very well. The crew was dilegant, efficient and organized. They went above n beyond the job description. I would hire them again without any doubts. Overall I was very pleased."

"We are very happy with Classic Finishes~everything went so smoothly and the quality of work is exceptional!"

"Shelton Painting, Inc. subcontracted our exterior house painting job to Alexis Painting, LLC. Items of note for Shelton/Alexis: - Alexis Painting parked in our driveway, blocking us from getting into our garage, and did not move when we came home. - Alexis asked once for water, which we were happy to provide. A few hours later they knocked on our door and asked for more water when two other painters showed up. - Even though the Shelton Painting quote stated, “no exterior painting should be done immediately after a rain, during foggy weather, or when rain is predicted” Alexis painted our house up to the point it started to rain (rain was in the forecast for the whole day). The paint was not dry when the rain started. - The masking Alexis used at the base of our house blew up during the rain shower and stuck to the wet paint (there was nothing weighing down the plastic masking). We, as homeowners, had to go out and peel the masking off of the house and weigh it down. The masking left a texture in the paint. Some paint was also stuck to the masking. When Shelton was called about this issue, Todd was angry/defensive and stated “it all can be fixed.” They did “fix” it, but there is still a slight texture in the paint. - The painters left empty pop cans, bottle caps, and we found a razor knife blade in the lawn when they left for the day. Our child could easily have run though the grass and gotten cut. - Came home one day (after work) to find two painters sleeping under our tree. When we woke them up and asked what was happening they stated they were waiting on material. As they did not seem to have a vehicle at our home, I assume they were dropped off and left to work. I don’t want to think about where they went to the bathroom during the day. They lied back down after talking to us and appeared to go back to sleep. - Alexis painted our front door shut (to the weather stripping). The painters had to use a razor knife to separate the door from the weather stripping. A paint ridge was left on the door where the weatherstripping meets the door. Our overall impression is Shelton Painting does not manage their subcontractors. Shelton’s subcontractor (Alexis Painting) lacks professionalism. However, the overall painting Alexis performed seemed fine. Shelton Painting does not seem to know what is going on with their subs, and at least in our case, they were more about telling you why you are wrong then trying to make it right. For us, there was too much drama in working with Shelton Painting and their sub, Alexis Painting."

"We unfortunately didn’t have a good experience with Wow. We selected a matte sheen for our interior and they used velvet, didn’t repair nail pops, & used a long nap roller, leaving an orange peel texture on our previously smooth walls. We had some areas needing sanding which were not properly done. To be fair, when we raised concerns, they returned promptly & did a nice job fixing the exterior. They applied 1 coat of matte to the interior, again using long rather than short nap roller we requested. 1 coat didn’t fully cover the shine and orange peel remained. My husband preferred to attempt a fix ourselves rather than having them return again, so we told them it was better. We told them we applied a 2nd matte coat with a short nap roller to further reduce shine and smooth the walls. They did not acknowledge this or offer any rectification. We paid $2400 for our interior, applied 2nd coat ourselves, and are stuck either living with orange peel or paying another company to fix it."

"High Rollers Painters did a fantastic job for us. We have a large walkout rambler that needed extensive prep and some carpentry to be paint-ready. We were pleased to find a company that could handle the carpentry as well as the painting. The company is closely managed by Leo, the owner. He communicated with us quickly throughout the whole process from estimate to completion. They started and finished the job when they said they would. Leo was on-site overseeing the job and working almost all of the time. His crew was friendly, polite and hard-working. They went the extra mile - giving the side of our house that gets sun an extra coat of paint and even using the power washer to get rid of moss on our patio. Leo has high standards and great attention to detail, and would point out anything that needed special attention. In the extremely rare instances where we had a question, he was quick to respond and make sure that we were completely happy with the job. If we have future painting needs, we’ll definitely be calling Leo at High Rollers Painters."

"We wanted to have our house stained and our deck and front porch cleaned and stained. Got 4 bids,3 of which we found on Angie's list. Jerry seemed very knowledgeable and fairly priced, so we went with him. It was a wet spring so we had to wait a bit, but eventually got the job done. Overall, his crew did an okay job on the house part of it. This is why I'm leaving the bad review. We have a 50' deck and a 20' front porch. Both of which, last summer I installed about 100' feet of cable railing, consisting of about 45 black painted stainless steel posts along with the cable that is strung through to make the railing. Along the top of that is 2x6 lumber that was to be stained, along with the surface of the decks. Not only did anyone not think about masking off the cable and posts, but the individual they had do the staining on this, got stain all over not only all the post, but the cables as well. When I saw this and brought it to the attention of the foreperson, nobody seemed to care enough to not only start to clean it off, but even care that much. It was only after texts, and phone calls to Jerry, did anyone try to do anything. Well, they needed an industrial type of aerosol paint remover to clean it. The areas where they could get it off, the removal product damaged the finish, and they still didn't even get it all off. At the end of the day, the only important thing for Jerry, was to get his check. I couldn't inspect the deck that night (because the surface was wet) so I didn't give his crew the rest of the money. So Jerry made sure to have his person stop by at 8:00am the next morning to make sure he got his money. After I slept on this for a few days, I called Jerry with my concerns about the rail. He was supposed to stop by that Friday, as he was going to be in the area, but he was a no show. Haven't heard from him since. If you hire him, I'd advise you sit and watch the type of job his people are doing. I assumed this was a professional outfit, and learned my lesson."
