Our 115-year old kitchen was in need of a total remodel due to age and other remodeling efforts that were done poorly in the past. The kitchen was gutted down to the studs which revealed structural problems that were caused by a previous remodel. Buck Brothers addressed this issue with flying colors and the lead carpenter was amazing in fixing the structural problem and all other aspects of rebuilding the kitchen. The cost of the project was higher than we anticipated but the final outcome was worth it and we definitely got our monies worth. It is hard to single out the most valuable sub-contractor; they were all top notch but I have to give special thanks to Tracy the project manager, Scott the carpenter, D&B Custom Woods ( beautiful cabinets and right on miter cuts), Paramount Granite (great quality and excellent installation). I must add that the electrician, plumber and heating contractors had their work cut out for them. The painters were meticulous, respectful, and very helpful with color selection and fun to work with.

Joe Perry was very thorough, helpful, and personable when meeting with my wife and me for the estimating stage. He asked and answered many questions, listened respectfully, and gave us the sense that he clearly knew what he was doing. When we had narrowed the color choices to three, they swung by and painted three big swatches on the house, which made determining the final selection much easier. When Hector and his crew showed to begin the job, it was apparent this was a crackerjack team in which everyone knew what his role was and got right on with it. They were hardworking, efficient, and showed consistent attention to detail. The job site was cleaned and straightened each evening. Joe came by each day to check in with me and see if I was satisfied and answer any additional questions or make any modifications to our initial agreement. I was told it would take three days to complete the project and that was exactly what it took. The finished job looks fantastic and once again, the precise attention to details is what makes it such a fine piece of work. I highly recommend the outstanding professionals at Varsity Painting.

His second coat was slopped on, and I'm not happy with the overall result. I also asked him in the beginning about doing additional things around my home. He seemed interested, but never followed up on it (before he was "done" - before he got angry with me). He just seemed eager to get his money and be done and get himself to his next assignment. He did not use enough caulk in our bathroom in certain areas, and I had to ask him to put some at the base of the tub. There are still some areas that need caulk. I would not use him again nor recommend him. I would have left this whole situation as is, but Angie's List kept bugging me over and over to write a review. So, here you are.

Painting questions, answered by experts
If you’re debating whether to paint the walls or ceiling first, let us settle it for you. Painting the ceiling first is key—that way, you won’t have to worry about paint drips. Always start at the top of the room and work your way down for best results.
Depending on the piece, there are times when you can paint over painted furniture. Start by applying a high-adhesion primer so that the new topcoat will stick. However, if the paint is peeling or chipping, it’s best to sand it down, use a paint stripper, or try a deglosser to ensure your new paint will adhere.
Painting over cracks without repairing them first will simply lead to needing to fix them later. They will reappear in short order. Usually, just a bit of spackle and a putty knife before painting will do the trick. However, if there are significant cracks, find the source of the problem and fix it before moving forward.
The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage.
The average labor cost for painting in the U.S. is $2 to $6 per square foot. Research what similar pros in your area charge to get a good idea of the normal labor costs for your region. Don’t forget to add charges for materials, complicated work, and project minimums to cover your overhead, if you’re doing a smaller project.
