SHEDD'S PAINTING & REMODELING

He was willing to do what was asked, pleasant to deal with. The downside was that I think he did not clean areas before painting and painted over dirty areas around window seals, kitchen cabinets, ceiling vents etc. He did not cover, or remove, fan blades so there was paint spray on them. Windows were not adequately covered so there is a very difficult to remove film on window panes.
The paint job itself was a good even well-done job. It was just the little stuff that bothered me.
I would us the company again, but only under closer supervision.

They are extremely overpriced. They were quite outrageous. It was a free estimate. It was both an issue of price and they had about a three week turnaround time that they could come and see me. I was trying get the paint before that. I got a couple bids, they were the highest. It just sounded like they were busy. Anybody that gave me a three to four week lead time just didn't go with my schedule. They were very professional.

Mr. Shedd has been a delight to work with. He is a master with a paint brush. He is very attentive to details, provides suggestions that enhance the project and saves money at the same time. I highly recommend him for any renovation project.work is incomplete...still in progress

On time, very positive experience

Ray and his one to two workers were in the house for seven weeks. That's a long time to have someone in your house every day. They were more punctual than any other contractor I've ever used, in that they were here by eight most every morning and worked a full 8 hours most days. Some days they worked even longer and some days were short days. All in all things went very well. There were a few days they couldn't make it (maybe 5-6) but he was very attentive to the details. We could tell he took great pride in his work. Initally it was just going to be a paint job. After seeing Ray's work, we gave him all the other work we were planning on having performed-such as the floors, electrical, doors and such. Even though I got a quote on every aspect of the home 'renovation' before he started the additional work, there was not a thing he wouldn't do. He even re-caulked the kitchen sink when he heard me fussing to my husband about how there was a spot that wasn't sealed and a small section of the formica was starting to swell. In order to be completely honest, there was one area I had a problem with and my husband told me not to worry about it because 'that's just how contractors are'. I think that's just how some men are! But I did have to pick up behind them some. They'd leave their drink cups from where they'd gotten lunch in the house or in the garage. I also had to deal with 'spit bottles'. I didn't mind that they 'spit', my husband and I smoke. I just wish they'd have picked everything up each afternoon when they finished for the day. Since they've been here my husband has gone back to 'spitting' and is cutting back on smoking. So I'm still dealing with it to an extent. It may just be the woman in me. My daughter says I'm a neat freak, but I kinda felt like I was picking up after them a bit. I'm just telling you this information so that if you have a problem with anything I've just spoken of you can set your ground rules ahead of time. By the time I'd gotten a little frustrated with the trash and the bottles they were well into the project and Ray did such a good job, I just didn't bother saying anything. For what we had done and for the quality of work he did, it was worth that little issue I had. All I know is that the ten dollars I spent for an Angie's List membership was well worth every penny of it. I went with the one review I saw for Ray (Shedd) and had him come and give me a quote. My husband told me after he left that "that man knows his work". We'd gotten one other quote and my husband told me that we didn't need a third one. He said Ray was the way to go. I only wish I'd known about Angie's list before I had my landscaping done last year. I won't call any names right now because I haven't submitted a report, but I had to spend and additional 2,100.00 with a different landscaper to correct what my initial landscaper did wrong. It was a nightmare. I even took the original landscaper to court and won a settlement. It was just a matter of principle to me.

I was so pleased with Mr. Shedd and his team, the showed up on-time and ready to work from the first day forward, and they did an amazing job! You can tell they take such pride in their work, everything was done to perfection. They went above and beyond our expectations. The job took the exact amount of time they said it would. After our last contractor who would take 3 hour lunches or just not come back at all, Mr. Shed and his team were great. I had been gun shy about home improvement after that, but now we are planning to have them back again. I know this may be a silly point, but it meant a lot to me, they were also kind to my daughter and our dog (He wanted to leave with Mr. Shedd by day 1!) and never made us feel like we got in their way. I would recommend them to anyone!
