I am so pleased! Kurt Meyer is a very attentive, knowledgeable, conscientious, careful & patient project manager. And I must also mention accessible he actually readily answers his phone most all the time providing a live, real time, productive conversation! I was a bit guarded about the pressure washing procedure because I didn't want it to be too harsh or harmful to the condition of the wood siding and I believe it was carried out with care & concern to the integrity of the wood yet enough to do the job. I was going with green color again on the windows and I thought I had THE GREEN pretty well in mind but once I saw the samples, well then I couldn't really decide. To help me make a more accurate selection, Kurt actually painted a section of window trim on the house in the different 'greens' for the best evaluation that was a smart way to do it. Also, to help choose the product for the siding, Kurt was very accommodating and helpful for me to make the best choice. ALL WENT VERY WELL!
Description of Work: I selected Home Transformations to basically restore and help preserve the exterior surfaces of my cedar sided house and the window frames, plus stain/treat a new wood garage door I had recently purchased and had installed. I don't believe anything had been done to the siding since it was built in 1989 and minimal painting to the window trims and sills. This included an initial pressure washing (the cedar siding had darkened and dried considerably and had lots of cobwebs on it), followed by prepping and painting the window woodwork (17 windows total, with their panes cleaned in the end) and staining the exterior surfaces including an entryway and balcony area.

I was told by the owner that they were finished at which point I informed him that the missing chunk & framing had not been touched. I wanted to make sure they weren't coming out so that I could schedule a new company to come out. The owner told me that according to his records they were done. I hung up with him & he called back later that day to tell me he would have someone from the company come out to fix the missing stucco chunk. I told him I did not want to deal with his company anymore. I would not recommend this company.
Description of Work: The stucco repair itself was OK. They did not clean up very well. I was not told when they were coming & when I returned from an errand they were here. They did not do one spot on the garage which is what I originally called for due to a chunk of stucco missing. Animals (rabbits & squirrels) had been chewing on the framing of the garage door. They did not fix this and they did not fix the chunk of missing stucco. It was a couple of weeks after the work was finished that I called to find out if the company would be coming back out.

Response from Home Transformations Inc
THIS CUSTOMER OMITS THE FACT THAT THE BULK OF HER PROJECT (OVER 90%) WAS TO PREP AND PAINT ALL OF HER BASEMENT LEVEL WINDOWS, AND THAT WE DID NOT BILL HER FOR ANY OF THE REPAIR OR PAINTING SERVICES SHE RECEIVED. I HAD CALLED IN ADVANCE TO LET HER KNOW THAT WE WOULD SOON BE READY TO DO THE PROJECT AND SHE INDICATED THAT SHE WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO US COMPLETING THE WORK, SO I THOUGHT THAT I HAD HER APPROVAL TO COME OUT THAT WEEK. I AM THEREFORE SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT SHE WAS SURPRISED ABOUT THE TIMING. HER BASEMENT WINDOWS WERE HARDER TO FIX AND PAINT THAN WE ANTICIPATED BECAUSE THE STORM WINDOWS WERE GLUED IN PLACE, A FACT THAT WE DID NOT KNOW. HENCE, WE PUT A LOT OF EXTRA TIME INTO GETTING THAT PROJECT RIGHT, AND IN SO DOING, WERE DISTRACTED FROM FINISHING A TINY STUCCO REPAIR. WHEN SHE CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE STUCCO REPAIR WAS NOT FINISHED I APOLOGIZED AND OFFERED TO HAVE THAT REPAIR AND THE ADJOINING "CHEWED" WOOD TOTALLY REPAIRED THE NEXT MORNING, ALSO AT NO CHARGE. SHE DECLINED OUR OFFER. WHILE I CAN SEE THAT WE DID NOT GET EVERYTHING RIGHT WITH THIS CUSTOMER, AND WE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF OUR SLIPS, HER COMMENTS STRIKE ME AS VERY OUT OF BALANCE GIVEN THAT SHE RECEIVED THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE WORK SHE REQUESTED, AND WE MORE THAN COMPENSATED FOR OUR MISTAKES BY NOT CHARGING HER FOR ANY OF THE SERVICES THAT SHE RECEIVED.

We placed an offer on a house, contingent on the sale of ours. This gave us 1 week to get our house ready to go on the market (including painting the exterior). Our other hurdle was we were out of town for the better part of that week. While in CA, Kurt got us an estimate and re-arranged his crew to help us get our project done. Well, it rained for the next two weeks, but every time the rain stopped, Kurt's crew was over there, pressure washing, scraping, priming and painting our house and garage. Due to the weather, the project took a 3-4 weeks but if Mother Nature would have cooperated, it would have been done much sooner. They made color recommendations and suggested extra features that really made the house stand out. Eli was our project manager and was a delight to work with. The entire team was courteous, professional and considerate. They took great care of our gardens, bushes and the clean-up was perfect. I would whole-heartedly recommend them!
Description of Work: Scraping, priming and painting our 1940's cedar shake house and garage. Light patchwork on the foundation.

Kurt was really great. I needed the job done quickly and although his crews were very busy, Kurt sent over two men on a day that it was raining and they were not able to do an exterior painting job. They two men worked very quickly and neatly and had the whole job done in 8 hours.
Description of Work: It was a relatively small job. He painted an upstairs hallway and the master bathroom.

KURT AND HIS CREW WERE VERY NICE TO WORK WITH, ALWAYS ON TIME . VERY PLEASANT. KURT WAS EASY TO GET A HOLD OF ON THE PHONE. IF YOU NEEDED TO LEAVE A MESSAGE, HE ALWAYS CALLED BACK QUICKLY. WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. I LIKE THE FACT THAT HE TOOK TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS WORK. HE WANTED ME TO BE HAPPY WITH THE FINISHED PROJECT. HE EVEN WENT SO FAR AS TOOK OBLIGATE HIMSELF UNTIL 2008 TO PROVIDE ANY NEEDED TOUCH UPS.
Description of Work: I NEEDED MY PEELING DECK PAINTED. KURT AND HIS CREW CAME OUT THREE TIMES TO REMOVE PAINT AND REPAINT THE DECK. THIS WAS LAST FALL. 2006. THE PAINT WAS PUCKERING, LEAVING A BUMPY SURFACE. THE DECK LOOKED OK UNTIL ABOUT DECEMBER 2006 WHEN THE PAINT ACTUALLY STARTED TO PEEL OFF. KURT RETURNED IN ABOUT APRIL OF THIS YEAR 2007. AND AGREED THE WALKING SURFACE AND THE STEPS NEEDED TO BE REPAINTED. IN MAY 2007 THE DECK WAS AGAIN PREPARED TO BE PAINTED, AND WAS ONCE AGAIN PAINTED. KURT EVEN AGREED TO RETURN IN 2008 TO PROVIDE ANY TOUCH UP PAINTING THAT MAY BE NEEDED. IF THE DECK SHOULD START PEELING AGAIN.

THE ORIGINAL PAINT JOB PUCKERED BECAUSE IT RAINED FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW SHORTLY AFTER THE PAINT WAS APPLIED, BAD LUCK FOR EVERYONE. WE NEVER WANT OUR CUSTOMERS TO BE LEFT IN THE LURCH, EVEN WHEN WE DON'T CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THE MEMBER GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT THE FAILED PAINT PROBLEM, AND WE DID, AT NO CHARGE. WE THANK HER FOR HER OPENNESS IN ALLOWING US TO DELIVER THE SOLUTION.

I am amazed at the result; the rooms look better than I thought was possible. Kurt is very meticulous in his estimating process so there are no surprises. His crew was great -- they work hard and do a high quality job. I like that he didn't mind my sweat equity; that stretched my budgeted dollars for the project. I have hardwood floors and was a little nervous about potential damage, but there's not a stray spot of paint.
Description of Work: Home Transformations repaired ceilings in an office, the bathroom, and the hall of a 1925 home. The ceilings had been sprayed with popcorn. There was paint over the popcorn in the bathroom. I removed the popcorn from the office, and Kurt's crew repaired the plaster in all the rooms, skim coating the bathroom to smooth over the mess on the ceiling in there. I had removed the wallpaper from the office and hall, but the bathroom was too stubborn for me so they finished the job. They primed and repainted the ceilings and walls.

Kurt Meyer was very professional. When he came out to give the estimate, he provided certificate of liability insurance, reference list, and explained his $100 responsiveness guarantee. One person did the entire job. Attempted to complete in one day, but the next day I noticed areas on the front and garage doors that weren't completely painted. Kurt responded quickly and came back out himself to finish the job to my satisfaction.

I was told that they wouldn't be able to do it until late June. I got a call on May 24th at 9:00 pm for them to come the next day. They came around noon. It so happened that they had an opening. It worked out great for both of us. Professional, courteous & honest.

Carlos and the rest of the Home Transformations crew did an exceptional job from start to finish. I called Kurt for a quote and we set up a time for him to see the job. He came at the time agreed upon and gave me a fair estimate. I ended up adding on to the job, and so the price went up, but overall I got my money's worth! The crew started on-time and were all very polite and efficient. The entire job took only two days and they did a great job cleaning up after it was all done. I would definitely hire Home Transformations again, and in fact, I have already asked for an estimate on my exterior!
Description of Work: Kurt and his crew painted several rooms in my house, including the sun room, dining area, kitchen, hall, bathroom, most of the ceilings, a radiator, and touch-ups on a former paint job that I had done previously. They also repaired walls where necessary. I asked Kurt for his advice on which rooms needed painting and those that could wait, as well as colors that would be most desirable for re-sale. Kurt was very honest and offered great advice on the colors, and helped me determine which colors and rooms would be most desirable from a buyers perspective.

Home Transformations was wonderful to work with! From start to finish they made the process easy, including a free color consultation. They were always on time and courteous and cleaned up after each day. Kurt worked with me to get the price exactly where we needed it and Eli, our project manager, made suggestions that I never would have considered and have made all the difference! They even asked when my young kids napped and then tried to complete louder aspects of the project before that time. That is serious customer service. They are now painting our neighbors house across the street and when my kids see them they run over to talk to Eli and Kurt! This has been the most positive experience that I have ever had working with a company on our house.
Description of Work: They painted the exterior of our house, our garage and at the last minute were able to paint the insides of two interior closets (that were bare plaster and covered in wallpaper glue) before we had closet systems installed.

Before I contracted with him, I had asked about schedule slippage. He assured us that he puts extra people on the job if needed, in order to stay on schedule. When we signed up, he promised to paint in August. But by the end of the month, we hadn t heard from him, so I called him; he said he would paint in September. I asked him how their promptness guarantee works (he pays $100/day for each day they are late). He doesn t commit to an exact date, so apparently he is never late, in his opinion. September passed, without paint, again not even a phone call. We were getting pretty frustrated by then. By mid October, the weather was getting too risky, so we waited until spring.
Description of Work: They painted the entire house exterior: siding, trim, and doors.

Response from Home Transformations Inc
HIS COMMENTS CONTAIN ERRORS AND OMISSIONS THAT DESERVE CORRECTION. FIRST, WE NEVER PROMISED, AND AS A PRACTICE RARELY PROMISE A SPECIFIC START OR COMPLETION TIME BECAUSE TOO MANY FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL AFFECT OUR SCHEDULE. SECOND, WE ADVISE ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS THAT OUR SCHEDULE CHANGES CONSTANTLY AS CURRENT CUSTOMERS OFTEN ELECT TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THEIR PROJECTS. RATHER THAN CONSTANTLY CALLING CUSTOMERS TO TELL THEM ABOUT ANOTHER SCHEDULE CHANGE, WE INVITE OUR CUSTOMERS TO CHECK IN WHENEVER THEY LIKE FOR UPDATES. WE WERE LATE IN STARTING THIS PROJECT BECAUSE SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WHOSE PROJECTS WERE CONTRACTED BEFORE HIS CHOSE TO EXPAND THEIR PROJECTS SIGNIFICANTLY, AND EVEN BY WORKING WEEKENDS, WE COULD NOT FULLY CATCH UP. HE OMITS THE FACT THAT I CALLED HIM IN THE FALL TO TELL HIM THAT WE WERE READY TO TAKE CARE OF HIS PROJECT. HE DECLINED OUR OFFER AND ELECTED TO WAIT UNTIL THE SPRING. FINALLY, HIS COMMENTS DISTORT OUR $100 RESPONSIVENESS GUARANTEE POLICY, WHICH MEANS THAT ONCE WE SET OUR SPECIFIC START TIME, USUALLY A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE THE ACTUAL START OF THE PROJECT, WE ARRIVE ON TIME OR CALL IF THERE IS A NEED TO DELAY OR CHANGE. HE OMITS THE FACT THAT ONCE WE SET HIS ACTUAL START TIME, WE MET ALL OF OUR SCHEDULE COMMITMENTS, INCLUDING COMING BY AT ODD HOURS TO MEET HIS UNIQUE SCHEDULE NEEDS. WE REGRET HIS MISINTERPRETATIONS, ESPECIALLY SINCE HE SENT A NOTE SAYING "THANKS FOR THE GREAT JOB" UPON COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.

Kurt and his crew were very easy to work with. I had a hard time with the original paint color I chose and Kurt was very helpful and patient through the process. He has a great eye for color and we were very pleased with the end result. The painters were great, having 2 dogs, we had to let them out throughout the day and they were very accommodating.

I got an estimate on the job and signed the contract in late summer, but the job couldn't be started before the weather turned cold. Painting started on our house the following May and was finished within a week. I was very pleased with the quality of the work, Kurt's complete description of the work that would be done, and the professionalism of the painters. They arrived on time and cleaned up before they left each day. When I realized after the trim was finished that I had left the railings out of the original contract, Kurt added them in at the end for a very reasonable price. He also gave me a discount for the delay until spring getting the job started. Kurt was knowledgeable, pleasant to work with, and made sure I was satisfied when the work was finished. The only negative - and it's a very slight one - was that it was often hard to reach Kurt directly by phone. I usually had to leave voicemail messages and wait for him to call me back, which sometimes was a day or two.
Description of Work: All the exterior wood trim and metal railings on our house were cleaned, scraped where necessary, and stained or painted. The joints between the planks of wood were filled with clear caulk. The wood received two and in some places three coats of stain.

Kurt and his team did a fabulous job. Our house was in very poor shape and needed extensive scraping. Everyday they cleaned up the work site. The only minor issue was that we were scheduled for summer '06 but they were so busy that they we had to get bumped to spring of '07.

I called Kurt Meyer on Saturday, April 14. I explained the work I wanted quoted and was told he would come by early next week to provide the quote. Hearing nothing by Thursday and needing the work done because of a relocation move, I called Kurt Meyer again. He didn't answer but returned my call, telling me he was at a job at a lake somewhere and couldn't make it, but that he was going to have another guy with another company come by to quote the work. A Bruce Passer, from Webster's Quality Painting showed up and took a look at the scope of the work I needed. He then quoted me what I felt was an outrageous amount of money for such a small project. My issue with Home Transformations is that on his Angie's list website, he claims no subs, and clearly that isn't accurate or truthful. Kurt promised something and then didn't have the courtesy to call and make another appointment, rather, he sent someone that isn't on Angie's list to do his work. I feel lied to and misinformed.
Description of Work: Work quoted was for touch-up on 4 spots on basement wall w/sand finish $250; patch and paint small area on ceiling in basement $600 - $1100; stain deck with 1 coat, not including power washing, $850; stain a small wooden wishing well $75; and paint 3 doors $600.

Response from Home Transformations Inc
THIS MEMBER'S REPORT MISREPRESENTS MY INTERACTION WITH HIM, AND/OR HE MISUNDERSTOOD MY COMMUNICATIONS WITH HIM. IT IS TRUE THAT WE DO NOT USE SUBCONTRACTORS, AND I NEVER INTENDED TO USE SUBCONTRACTORS ON THIS PROJECT. AFTER I GAVE THIS GENTLEMAN AN ESTIMATE, WE HAD AN EXISTING CUSTOMER WHO RUNS A CAMP LOCATED ON AN ISLAND MAKE HUGE ADDITIONS TO A PROJECT THAT WE WERE CONTRACTED TO COMPLETE LONG BEFORE THIS MEMBER CONTACTED ME. I RECOGNIZED THAT WE HAD NO CHANCE OF MEETING THIS MEMBER'S TIMELINE AND, RATHER THAN LEAVING HIM WITH NO OPTIONS, HAD THE COURTESY TO PROVIDE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR ANOTHER CONTRACTOR WHO I BELIEVED WOULD DO A GOOD JOB FOR HIM. IT WAS UP TO THIS MEMBER AND THAT CONTRACTOR TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT OR NOT, BUT WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN ANY WAY AND WOULD HAVE HAD NO PART IN THAT AGREEMENT. THE ACCUSATIONS MADE IN THIS REPORT ARE REGRETFUL, INACCURATE, AND UNFAIR. WE ARE USUALLY ABLE TO MEET ALMOST ALL CUSTOMERS' TIMELINES AND NEVER USE SUBCONTRACTORS TO DO SO. IN THIS CASE WE COULD NOT MEET HIS TIMELINE, TOLD HIM SO, AND OFFERED A POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE THAT APPARENTLY WAS UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS NOT FAIR OR REASONABLE TO HOLD US RESPONSIBLE FOR WHETHER THIS MEMBER ACCEPTED OR APPROVED OF ANOTHER CONTRACTOR'S ESTIMATE, AND IT IS FALSE TO SUGGEST THAT WE ARE SUBCONTRACTING OUR WORK TO OTHERS.

We were looking to have the room painted very quickly (within 2 weeks). On Monday afternoon, I called Kurt Meyer who answered the call immediately and was available the next day to estimate the job. The estimate was completed by the next morning (Wednesday) and we were happy with the quote. Kurt's team began work two days later, on Friday morning, and was completed by Sunday afternoon. Kurt asked if we would be open to them working through the weekend in order to complete the job before our deadline. We were fine with them working the weekend. His team was extremely courteous, quiet and professional. There was minimal disruption to our house while they were working. We were very satisfied with the results. Our walls were visibly in need of repair prior painting and they look terrific now. We plan to use Home Transformations for future paining needs.
Description of Work: Home Transformations painted our formal living room, including repair of cracked plaster walls and cracked crown molding. They painted our walls as well as all trim on baseboards, crown molding and 9 windows.

I was given Kurt's name by my sister who used him for an outside job. He called right back when I left him a message and was out the next day to give a estimate. His group of merry painters where just great and made the job seem at lot easier than it was. He had many good ideas (which I used) and helped me pick out paint colors that really look great. He's on time, great ideas, good to work with, stuck to the estimate that he gave me (no hidden costs), had a great team of guys working with him, it doesn't get much better than that.
Description of Work: I have a 980 sq foot town home that Kurt's group painted every sq inch of. Ceilings, two bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, dining/living room area. All interior doors, all kitchen cabinets, inside all closets, windows and the inside of the front door to match the decor of the living room.

Kurt and his group were great. His bid was the middle of three bids. The first was unreasonably low, the high bid company was not friendly or interested in antiquing the kitchen cabinets the way we wanted them done. Kurt was very responsive to questions/calls. He gave a detailed bid and stuck to it, and was very flexible about adding work as we requested. (Apparently it's really common to add to painting jobs as they get going). He was very good about keeping us posted on where we were in terms of cost. The actual work crew folks were very nice and cleaned up every night; even though we were not living in the house at the time. They did an exceptional job, the walls look great. The kitchen cabinets were tricky to get ''just right'' but they absolutely followed through till they looked really good. I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Kurt and his folks helped us in our ''kitchen/family room remodel'' project that turned into a ''whole first floor'' remodel project. We removed the ''popcorn ceilings'' (to save money) but also gouged the walls and ceilings a lot. We also dropped the level of the floor a bit because of the new hardwood floors. They did extensive drywall wall repair (not just spot patching) on the entire first floor of our house: front entryway, family room, living room, kitchen, powder room, and dining room: The ceilings and walls looked brand new when they were done. They also primed and painted ceilings and walls in those rooms (primer and two coats of high-quality paint). We wanted a new look in kitchen without paying for new cabinets so they painted the dark oak kitchen cabinets a lovely soft gold color and did an antiquing process with dark brown stain that gave the cabinets an entirely fresh new look.

Perfectly. He always arrives on time, finishes on time, and treats his customers with the utmost courtesy.
Description of Work: Keith and his crew removed the wallpaper in our front hall and the border in the back hall. We had just sold our home and the buyer requested that this change be done prior to closing.
