Having our house painted went about as well as it could go. Mr. Elliott gave us a clear and detailed estimate of the work his company would perform and what the cost would be. We did have to wait a few months before the work began, as Mr. Elliott had several customers scheduled ahead of us.
From the time his crew arrived till the moment they completed the work, they were professional, courteous and hard working. First they washed the entire house. We have this done annually, and this was the best wash the house has ever gotten.
They then scraped and sanded all loose paint, and spot primed raw wood on the siding. They primed all the trim, as we changed from oil based paint to latex.
They replaced a small amount of rotten wood - drip edge at the bottom of the siding on one corner of the house. A member of the crew had to manufacture the trim, and when he was done, we could not tell the difference between the original and the new.
There was a small leak on the front porch, which has a metal roof. They patched the hole, and put two coats of hydro stop on the roof. While working on the front porch, we decided the deck needed to be scraped and painted. They did that as well.
The back porch is screened, and has a handrail and balusters. We expected to have to remove all the screen so they could paint all four sides of the balusters. Rather than doing that, the crew unpinned the bottom of the screen and rolled it up out of the way. Then, after painting the handrail and balusters they re-pinned the screen and put everything back just the way it was before.
Most of the shutters on the house were in fine shape and did not need paint, but two sets were peeling and in need of attention. We gave the go-ahead to do the work, and it was done quickly and well.
As they were wrapping up the crew went around the house and made sure that all the windows opened and closed properly.
Mr. Elliott based his estimate on how long he thought it would take to do the work. Even with adding several items of work, including scraping and painting the front porch deck, painting the shutters, putting a second coat of paint on the siding, and painting the porch ceilings, the crew finished two days sooner than Mr. Elliott had estimated. He passed that savings along to us, which wound up being about a thirteen percent reduction from the original estimate.
The completed job looks absolutely splendid. We're very pleased. We will absolutely use Mr. Elliott's company again in the future.
Our house is more than 110 years old, and has both plaster and drywall. There was not a single wall or ceiling that did not need attention, and Ralph and his guys made sure it happened. We chose a palette of about 5 different neutral shades, and the finished product looks gorgeous. All walls received three coats of paint; and, although we thought only some trim would need retouching, most of it was tended to. Several little details were also tackled, like taking down curtain rods, removing and disposing of a large light fixture, and even repainting the stair risers, Still, Ralph stayed under the price he originally quoted me.
Re: Price. Was this the cheapest quote we received? No. Was it worth it? Yes. Work started quickly and finished on time. The quality is excellent, and I am confident that if there were to be any issues, Ralph would make it right. Additionally, it was great to have our neighbors comment on how pretty the house looks, and to let us know they saw that the crew was here early and stayed late daily. Since we were out of town during the work, it was reassuring to learn that these guys just didn't slack. All the effort shows, and beautifully.
I had previously used their services several years ago and had been very happy with the results so I decided to use them again.
And I was very happy with my decision. The power washing was done in a thorough and meticulous manner, getting into every nook and cranny but carefully guarding the plants and other items needing protection.
Paintingwise, we had a number of things needing attention. A number of years in this climate with the humidity, salt air, hot sun, etc ultimately takes its toll of a wood siding house. The owner of Elliott's, Ralph George, was extremely helpful in identifying areas needing attention and providing information on addressing the proper solution to correct the problem - painting, caulking, or repairing. He was also very flexible and considerate in scheduling the work tin order to cause the least disruption in our
lives and schedules.
His crew was prompt, courteous, and professional. It was apparent they have been working together for several years and while anyone of them could do any work necessary they each had their own and quot;specialtyand quot; skill which clearly contributed to the efficient flow of the work. I especially appreciated their bringing to my attention additional things that needed to be addressed that were not in the original assessment so they could be handled now either by the crew or through other resources.
Mr. George was totally on top of the job planning and coodrinating each step in order to complete it in as short a time as possible. He takes great pride in meeting and even beating his original estimate for the time and cost of the job. I think it would be hard
to find a more professional, knowledgable, caring team of painters to get your job done in a timely and cost effective manner.
I highly recommend Ralph George and his crew.
The townhouse looks like brand new. Every wall in the place had to be repaired and painted. The ceilings were even repainted. And, they took care of things I had not even noticed. I do notice now that they have been repaired and repainted.
In today's world, it is wonderful to know that their are still dependable people like Ralph and his crew! And, nice guys to boot.
I would absolutely use this Company again and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
ps Thanks, Guys!
I got Ralph's name from a neighbor who had used him to paint her home. After intervewing 3 other painters, there was no doubt in my mind that Ralph was the most fairly priced and his reputation preceded him. So I took the chance. I AM NOT SORRY!!!
This man is a true artist and craftsman. If you want someone to do the job as if you were doing it yourself, then please hire Ralph Elloitt. His pride in his work and his approach to cost saving measures while using the best products is refreshing; especially in this world; when so many other scam artisits are out there.
I will be recommending Ralph all over town to all that I meet. Trust me when I say you will never regret dealing with Ralph Elliott and his crew. All are truly dedicated craftsmen who take their job seriouslly. Oh and by the way, they are great singers and have good senses of humor. Extremely kind to the family animals as well..
Am I a happy and satisfied customer???? YOU BET I AM ......
The house looks great, and the price came in under the estimate.
We were moving into a new home and wanted to repaint all of the rooms before the furniture was scheduled to arrive. After talking to Ralph about what we needed, he made arrangements to have a crew on site the first day we were able to get into the house. He worked with my wife to get the entire interior painted while working around carpet stretchers and various movers and delivery people.
This was no easy one color job either. There were nine colors, three of which were faux finishes and the wallpaper needed to be removed from the kitchen, laundry room and four bathrooms. Ralph and his crew took everything in stride. Always professional, always prompt, Ralph fit us into his already busy schedule and literally transformed the entire interior of our home. Everyone who has seen the work is amazed not only at how great everything looks but also at the price it was done for and how little time it all took.
Even more impressive is that Ralph and his crew were always willing to do the little extras like replacing rusted light fixtures, removing towel bars, pointing out ways to save money and even going the extra distance when one of the faux finish paints wasn't quite working as advertised. Ralph applied extra coats at his expense to make sure that the job looked right when he was done. He wouldn't stop until the job was done to our satisfaction and left everything at least as clean as it was before he arrived.
No up front money was requested and in fact no payment was requested until he was done and we were happy with the result and no price changes were requested even when things got more involved than originally expected.
There are lots of painters to be found on Angie's List and various other sources but there's only one in my permanent contact list. Ralph will get all of my painting business and will get my highest recommendation whenever someone asks me if I know a painter.
Don't hire anyone else.
