I own and old Victorian home and paint was chipped badly on the Eastside. The few people who I called did not want the job and gave an astronomical price. Gary not only was willing to do the job, he also gave a fair price. I was more than pleased with the final product.

They had put the chip in and I got them to take it back out again because it was too costly. They originally told me it was a free estimate and when they came out they told me it costs, but I didn't pay anything for it.
