OLDWORLDPAINT

Description of Work: I had all new windows put into my 70 ish home. Tom sanded and stained and finished them. Tom also provided insights and ideas in regard to finishes and color choices. Tom also has painted multiple rooms throughout my house both upstairs and downstairs.

Description of Work: I purchased a new townhome about 9 months ago. The contractor agreed to take care of any problems for 1 year. After having some callbacks for touch up painting and "sheetrock screw pops" I realized that my contractors painting crews had "no talent at all". I heard about a gentleman from the Twin Cities that bid for smaller remodeling type jobs and was someone who would do a job correct the first time. I heard he was good at being careful, complete, attending to the details from start to finish. HERE WAS MY EXPERIENCE: For some reason, one of the bathrooms in my new townhome had an unusual number of sheetrock screw pops. Tom Gavic from Oldworld paint came to my home on the date of my choosing to repair the "screw pop problems" and repaint the entire bathroom. When Tom looked at our bathroom he showed me where 39 sheetrock screws had started working their way out of the wall. Tom explained the best method to repair those and recommended repainting the entire bathroom since so much repair was required. Tom recommend using the best quality paints and materials so the room would look great. Tom's work was OUTSTANDING. I could not believe my eyes. This guys prep. work, wall repair, painting, final touch up and clean-up of the job site was something I had never seen before. This guy removed all bathroom fixtures: lighting, towel bars, switch plates, exhaust fan covers and carefully placed all those in one box. He covered the entire bathroom vanity, toilet, and bathtub area with plastic so not a particle of sheetrock dust or paint could come in contact with them. He covered the entire floor with drop cloths. All woodwork was carefully masked. About 1/3 of this time was sent in preparation. Wall repair was done with careful methodical steps. When wall repair was done he ran a high intensity halogen light by each wall area to make sure no "flaws" were missed. He then applied two coats of paint without spilling 1 drop anywhere, not even on his own clothes(I guess this is what happens when you hire a professional that has done this type of work for 20 years). After the painting was done and time was allowed for drying, Tom carefully removed the tape, used a number of tools to touch up any little discrepancies. He installed new caulking between the bathroom vanity top and the walls, carefully checked for any paint that might have slipped over or under any masking tape. His cleanup and follow-up to make sure everything was correct was unbelievable. He had me look the bathroom over, asked me to double check for anything that might need further attention BEFORE he left the job. He also gave me some tips on how to keep things looking great. I will never even consider anyone else to do this work for me. This guys work and attention to detail is worth a lot to me. Mr. Gavic will be doing all of our work as we update our colors and repair any flaws that our home requires in the future.
