J W Painting Inc

He did a great job. He gave me a good price for painting. It was very reasonable. The work performed was exceptional.

They were always on time and very professional, but also very friendly! finished job in a very timely manner, would definitley use them again!

John was easy to get a hold of initially (by phone), though took a little time (I think almost a week) to get him here for an estimate. I was not n a rush, so that was OK with me. Estimate was another several days coming - it was formatted and everything was spelled out in a manner similar to most of the other estimates that I received, with one difference - my job included removal of wallpaper, and all the other estimates which I received included an estimate for the cost of the wallpaper removal, because of the variability and unknowns that are involved in removing wallpaper. That meant that all of the other estimates which I received were truly that - estimates. John's proposal included a firm price that included the wallpaper removal, regardless of the time it took to do so. I'm not sure how much that swayed me, but I was convinced by his stated work history in this area (I did not actually request specific references), and his proposed cost was acceptable. (Other proposals were lower, and some were higher, but I was not convinced that any of the more costly proposals would have resulted in a better quality job.) The work was actually done by several workers - John himself was not on the job except to get it started and to check in almost daily. Questions during the 9 - 10 days (including a 3-day holiday weekend) the job took, meant calling John and waiting for a call-back, which in one case didn't happen until the next day - though that particular question did not exactly pertain to the on-going work
The work was completed on a Friday, and John stopped by on Tuesday to inspect the final job. There was one, small, barely noticeable spot that needed retouching - I told John that I would take care of it myself using the left-over paint, because it was simply easier for me to do it that way, rather than trying to schedule a time that I would be home for him to do a 3 minute touch-up.
There was no payment schedule set up at the beginning. Several days into the job, he did ask for a 20% payment - I gave him 25%. The balance, including a few extra areas of painting added after the job started, was paid when John stopped in for the final inspection.

Overall, I feel that they did a marvelous job. The workers were easy to be around, were very quiet, and did a great job of containing all the dust from sanding of the sheet rock after the wallpaper removal, and of cleaning up after completion of each day's work.

He did a great job. I liked all of his service. He was efficient and finished within the time he allotted. I will use him again in the future.
