Initially, Steve and his assistant, Jerry, spent half a day cleaning our home exterior. This included treatment with a solution to remove mildew, washing, scrubbing and power washing. They did a thorough job cleaning 15 years of dirt and mildew off our home and it looked much better.
After our home had a few days to dry out, Steve replaced select pieces of trim and soffit material as needed. He found damaged areas that we didn't even know about! All joints and seams were caulked. He and Jerry then painted on two coats of paint. Steve also built new wood shutters for our front windows (a big improvement on our louvered plastic shutters) and installed recessed can lights on our front porch (we provided the lights). We were very pleased with the quality of their work.
Top notch quality and very reasonably priced. We strongly recommend them and we would use them again.
Got a couple of quotes. Mr. Mooney was rated well on Angie's List so he was one I called. He was also the lower of the two quotes by a lot and I couldn't tell why the other people were so high. Steve started on June 23rd and pressure washed the entire house. On June 30th he started painting and was finished on July 8th. He and one helper painted everything. They scraped and re-glazed a couple of window, caulked where needed. I provided the paint from Home Depot because I was used the Behr paint and had it custom mixed to match our garage, which is now all pre-painted Hardi boards. The main house is, unfortunately still mostly Masonite and it has a tendency to rot if it ever gets wet. I decided to try and put off getting Hardi siding on everything for now. He primed and painted the siding and trim including front door and front shutters. He found more siding to replace than I thought and he used Hardi board on all of it and did a great job and it looks just like the existing siding.
Overall he did a fine job and was very pleasant to work with. He called me back and came over for a quote quickly and told me up front that it might take a few weeks to get to me because he was so busy. He actually started sooner than I thought he would. I was not in a rush anyway. The one thing I have to say, and this goes for other contractor's that I've had here is that they don't pay enough attention to my plants and have a very bad habit of trampling things when they are in their way. That is the main reason I gave them a B rating on the quality of work. However, they did a good job of cleaning up after they were done and I would use him again for future work. Oh, I should say that he painted everything by hand and did not use a paint sprayer.
Steve even gave me the name of a brick mason to rebuild a section of my foundation skirt wall that was falling apart due to old mortar. I had that person come and do the work and he did an excellent job too.
took less time than he estimated, and he reduced his price accordingly.
Steve did a great job on the house. The finished product is great! I have had this house stained and painted twice before and both times were a nightmare. In fact, the last time I had it done, I swore I would move before going through it again! I don't feel that way this time. I'll just call Steve.
