Monk's Home Improvements

Description of Work: We used Monks to complete the painting we had started in our new home. Virtually every surface of our home needed to be touched up and repainted. They also did a complete kitchen repainting for us which included removing the old wall paper, finishing all of the surfaces to correct years of neglect, and painting our old wooden cabinets in Decorator's White. The kitchen job also included removing an old wine rack that was mounted under our kitchen island and replacing it with some custom wooden shelves.

Description of Work: I have been using Monk's Home Improvements. They did a family room renovation.

Description of Work: We hired Monk's to do various repair to our house due to damage from Hurricane Sandy. A large oak tree from our neighbors property had fallen and landed on the side of our house piercing the roof, damaging the fence, deck and a branch went through one of the bedrooms. They repaired the damaged pickets of the fence, replaced one side of the deck, replaced the rake boards and drip edge on the roof. They also removed a large area of the plastered wall in the bedroom that had the tree, replaced it with sheet rock and repainted the wall. Since it is too cold to paint in the winter, they will come back in the spring to repaint the side of the house and the deck.

Description of Work: They were giving us an estimate on painting the entire interior of the house and part of the exterior. They were also going to sand and redo our floors.

Description of Work: Remodel family room in basement, including fixture updates to half bathroom. Lay tile flooring, new electrical work, new dry wall for walls and ceiling and painted interior area.

Description of Work: Monks removed old wallpaper from our kitchen and hallway and painted the walls and ceilings, including fixing areas where there were surface issues. I would consider it a difficult job, as the wallpaper was old and the walls were not in the best shape underneath. Some areas of the hallway were high and some in the kitchen were a bit complex. Following the wallpaper removal and fixing the walls, they painted with primer and two coats. They purchased all of the supplies on our behalf at the paint store after we provided the colors. They use quality Benjamin Moore paint.

Description of Work: I recently moved into a 4 bedroom house that sorely needed shingles replaced, corners, and window frames replaced, as well as painting of the exterior. I called Monk's in late May-early June, and received a very prompt response from the company (Kurt). Rather than give you a step-by-step description of the process, I will tell you that everything that Kurt said they would do, they did, and they did it when he said they would. Kurt was also VERY accessible during the entire job. All of that is also true about the construction crew and the painting the crew. They replaced several hundred shingles, replaced all the corners and one of the window frames with Azik (sp?). They also replaced the posts at the bottom of the stairs on the front porch. They sanded the entire house down to the wood, put down two layers of primer, and two layers of paint. As indicated above, I called in late May-early June. Once they gave me the estimate and I decided to go with their company we set the job up for the week of July 9th. They contacted me the week before and began working the morning of July 10th with the construction which they mostly finished in about two days. The painting crew was equally prompt and professional. I was not home during the day and left the house open for them with no issues whatsoever. They also stripped, sanded, and refinished the front porch, which is mahogany. They did a nice job on the porch as well, but did better with the house. Mind you, there are no real issues with the porch, I just think next time I will have someone who ONLY does wood floors clean it up, because I want it to look like the living room. So nothing wrong with what Monk's did, I'm just picky about the porch. The crew was prompt everyday through completion of the job, and they cleaned up at the end of each day as well. If for some reason they were not going to be at the house, or were leaving early, they always called me. And the only reason they did not come, or left early was weather related. Overall, I was very pleased with how my house looked when they were finished and a month later I have not found anything that they missed. I have no reservations about using them again, or recommending them to anyone. As for pricing, they were very competitive with other bids I received from other smaller companies. In the end I chose Monk's because I could see it was a big job and I wanted they capacity they had to offer. The warranty didn't hurt either. If I ever have to exercise my rights under the warranty, I will update my evaluation.
