He said they would come out and repair the two spots and they would leave a bill for me. I waited and waited and finally called them back he acted like he didn't even know who I was. He apologized and said he just lost track of me. He said it was too cold to do the repair work. I understood, but was surprised that he didn't come back out when the temperature went back up. I haven't heard from him again. I hope I won't need major repair work after having the cracks suffer through the winter. The president after reading this report came out & was very apologetic. He asked me to give him another chance & had someone come out and put sealant on my house & apologized for not letting me know that someone was going to come out. I am going to have him out in the spring to do some more work. He was very sorry about the problem and wanted to make sure that he was going to do everything I wanted him to do.
Description of Work: I have stucco on the house, and I was concerned with getting repair work done. They seemed to have a good rating, but it took more than one try to get a hold of them. They did come out and look at the house and told me that they were very backed up at that time. He said it would be next spring before they could do the work. I was concerned about two spots being okay through the winter and he said they could take care of those.

I contacted Kurt earlier to paint my living room, it was short notice and he did not have a crew open. I hired someone else, and wish I hadn't. But, he told me to call again in a few days because if it rained he could pull his crew off exteriors to do a small job. I had been dealing with contractors for weeks and really appreciated Kurt's frank, professional, and prompt responses. So, when I got overwhelmed with the kitchen I called him again he was able to send a crew over the next morning. Well, I didn't sand before putting the primer on. Kurt explained that it could be done this way but it would ultimately chip off. They worked three days straight and were finishing up when the movers arrived with the furniture. It was such a relief to know that the work was being done, and being done by excellent craftsmen.
Description of Work: I bought a new home and was getting it ready to move in. I had two weeks. The entire interior had to be painted and the kitchen and bathroom was very dated with dark oak cabinets. I looked into resurfacing and I realized it was too complicated to do myself and too expensive to have done professionally. So I decided to paint them. I started priming the cabinets and realized that it was going to take me a very long time to finish and, more important, that I did not have the skill level necessary to get the cabinets to look how I wanted them to look. I realized I was in way over my head and was running out of time. I wasn't planning on spending the money, but I am so happy I did. The cabinets look great. They turned these 1980's dark cabinets into brand new off white cabinets.

Our construction company overstayed there welcome by close to 120 days putting us way behind schedule. We had our Kitchen and basement totally redone. We put in new windows too but because we were so behind schedule we had to hire someone to paint our house. We are extremely happy with the work Home Transformations did and would hire them anytime.
Description of Work: We needed the whole house painted including the ceiling. Kurt and his crew got everything done ahead of schedule.

HER COMMENTS ARE INCREDIBLY KIND. SHE ALSO DESERVES AN "A" FOR HER PATIENCE AS THE WEATHER DID NOT ALLOW US TO COMPLETE HER PROJECT THIS FALL SEASON. WE LOOK FORWARD TO FINISHING HER PROJECT IN A MANNER THAT DESERVES THE SAME KIND OF COMMENTS.

The price was higher than estimate because we asked for more work. We feel we got exactly what we paid for. The contractor estimated that the job would take 2-3 weeks, which is exactly what it took. We had at least 3 different quotes. We chose them by their presence during the estimate, but mainly on the price, and also on their professionalism. I felt that the pricing was fair. We most liked Kurt Meyers expertise, professional manner, and willingness to work with us. He did not whine or make up excuses. The painters accidentally dripped paint on the kitchen sink and basement sink. They only wiped it, leaving some residue. We were able to get it off the kitchen sink. It dried before we found it in the basement sink and that was the only thing they didn't do perfectly!
Description of Work: They removed wallpaper, did extensive plaster repair. Then painted walls and woodwork in 7 rooms. Painted kitchen cabinets, hallway, and a ceiling.

Response from Home Transformations Inc
THIS PROJECT OCCURRED ON AN OLD HOME, WHICH HAD BEEN TRANSPORTED FROM ONE SITE TO ANOTHER. WHAT AT FIRST APPEARED TO BE MINOR PLASTER CRACKS, ACTUALLY TURNED OUT TO BE PLASTER THAT WAS BOWING OFF THE WALL STUDS. TO GIVE THE CUSTOMER A MORE DURABLE RESULT, WE OFFERED TO, AND AFTER APPROVAL, PROCEEDED TO REMOVE SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF BAD PLASTER WALLS AND RE-SHEETROCKED BEFORE PAINTING. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO SEE THE EXTENT OF THE REPAIR WORK NEEDED UNTIL AFTER THE WORK HAD STARTED, AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE PROJECT AND ITS PRICE TO EXPAND. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN THOROUGHLY CLEANING UP AT THE END OF A PROJECT. HAD I KNOWN THAT THERE WAS ANY ASPECT OF THE CLEANUP THAT WAS NOT SATISFACTORY, WE WOULD HAVE GONE BACK TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

Kurt was extrememly helpful. We tried 3 different colors before deciding on the final color. He was patient and understanding and helped us make the final decision. The workers were courtious and friendly - and very understanding when asked to keep the noise level to a minimum during our son's nap time.

Kurt was very professional through the whole process, from submitting a bid to completion. He educated me on what was going on and why, which I appreciated because many people in the business don't do that. His crew did a great job and cleaned up after themselves every day. Kurt responded quickly when I had any questions. A great experience overall with no problems at all.

Okay, the price Home Transformations gave us wasn't the lowest, but they get an A+ for value. The amount of prep work they did on our house surprised even me (a picky perfectionist). They were thorough, timely, and extremely neat. They were especially careful while removing lead-based paint, both for themselves and us. (Have you ever seen a contractor clean up by vacuuming your porch and lawn?) They also seemed interested in working to save us a bit of money--like working on ladders when scaffolding probably made more sense. The results, of course, are what we live with. On the day after they left, I was working in the yard and four different peoples stopped to ask who had done the painting. I really can't say enough about what a good experience working with them was.
Description of Work: Home Transformations painted our three-story Arts & Crafts home. They did four colors over stucco, brick, and wood. The results are absolutely amazing.

Kurt was very knowledgeable and helpful in determining the best approach to fix the deck. We were impressed with his responsiveness and the overall results we received. Definitely would call them again for future work.
Description of Work: Deck had previously received a very poor stain application by another company. We initially contacted Home Transformations and other companies for an estimate to just strip the deck. Kurt was quick to come out and provided us with very reasonable estimate and a couple of options to correct the problem. We went forward with the stripping and were very pleased with the results. When we decided to have stain reapplied we contacted Kurt again and he not only responded immediately to our call he came out three days later and completed the job.

Because our job was small, Kurt fit us in between his larger jobs. When the crew arrived they were done the same day! It looks fabulous, and they did a super job cleaning up as well. Out of the four painters that we requested a bid from, Kurt was the most impressive and put together in our opinion. He was professional, provided a folder with his bid and his proof of insurance - none of the others did this. His workers were dedicated and thorough. Thanks Kurt!

They did such a good job, were so reasonably priced and were so responsive that we had them repaint half of the inside of the house, they did a great job. They're one of the best trade vendors I've ever worked with. Meyer, their president, is right on top of the work being done. They do quality work.

Kurt was on time for the bid and very cordial. Was familiar with the color I wanted to use. Although he was booked until after Thanksgiving, he said he would put a crew to work immediately because, the property was for sale. It took 2 painters 2 1/2 days to complete the job to perfection. They were friendly and cleaned up the area extremely well, after completing the job. I would give the company A+ if it was possible and highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Painted first and second floor hallways and 22 ft stairwell and very large window trim. Used 1 coat primer and 1 coat paint to cover a dark green with gold.

Kurt was great to work with, very professional and very concerned with customer satisfaction. I love the new color and the trim and accent suggestions he made. The crew filled all the dimpled nails and seams and with the eggshell paint Kurt suggested, my siding looks brand new. The quality of the work was wonderful; clean up exeptional (no paint chips or drips that I could find). Price was slightly higher than other two bids, but this included a five year warranty on labor instead of two and I can't believe I would have been this satisfied with anyone else.
Description of Work: Price included preparation and painting exterior of house (major color change), including all windows and window wells, siding installed above garage, siding repair by deck railing.

Kurt Meyer, the owner of the company, and his crew are outstanding. Their work is superior, their attitudes are respectful and responsive, and their timeliness in completing work is exceptional. They took extra care to ensure that our newly cleaned carpet was protected. A real plus is that Kurt gives daily updates on the progress and always listens to feedback on the work. He aims to have satisfied customers and we are very satisfied. Without a doubt, this is the first company we will call when we need more work done.

The crew was meticulous in their work - house looks 100% better - strangers walking by have stopped to comment on how nice the house looks. Cost came in higher than the original estimate, due primarily to additional materials needed - additional costs were communicated and approved in advance.
Description of Work: Full exterior paint for 1.5 story house and detached garage. Sent color advisor to assist in picking colors and products for the exterior of the house. Performed prep work - existing trim paint was in extremely poor condition (crackling, chipping, etc.) - they sanded down to the bare wood in most areas before painting. Paint included primer + two coats, and stain for new wood exterior door.

Excellent. We were getting our house prepared to list for sale and Kurt and his crew were excellent. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. He worked with us to see that we got the most return for our dollar. We had a couple of concerns with the workmanship and we left Kurt a voicemail. He stopped by our house to address our concerns and person and addressed all of them very satisfactory. His crew is very hardworking. Kurt communicates well with his clients (returns calls on time, shows up to the worksite often, follows up to see how well things are going, etc.). Price was very reasonable. Very, very happy with Home Transformations and would hire them again in a minute.
