"I hired Lynn for several projects, this summer! (2025) He has done a terrific job with everything he’s done. He’s responsible, and very easy to talk with. He was very helpful on explaining, things, going over and answering all my questions. I had him do all my soffit work, painted my house also. I then had him do a deck for me. He’s a hard dedicated worker, and does remarkable work! I have more work for him next summer. I would highly recommend him, if you want good quality work done. I have tried uploading some pics, of anll the work I had done, unfortunately it would not work. "

"Painting exterior! Entire church with repairs to special wood designs on the Ginger Bread construction structure. Kalindi House LLC, have truly transformed the white Church into this beautiful, inviting piece of art. Kalindi is the artist who looked at our stained glass windows and colors on the pipe organ, then presented these paint colors to our church members with her drawings. Kalindi took the time after beginning one side, to also meet and adjust some colors for a better contrast which highlights all the construction design characteristics built into the panels, displaying the people in the steeple, windows and doors. The pictures are absolutely amazing, but to see it in person is majestic. Ed has been wonderful repairing and replacing all the rotted wood specialty designs on the reliefs and eves. Their attention to detail and meticulous work ethics are very rare to find. We are very blessed to have kalindi & Ed, who have been so caring, understanding and patient with us."

"We used The Powell Company for several jobs on our house near Oneonta before realizing our mistake, so we have the experience to warn others. First, this company makes some very stupid “mistakes”. For example, they put a downspout directly over an electrical outlet, and they replaced items on our house that were NOT the rotted ones. We had to call them back to move the downspout so it wouldn’t block the outlet, and to replace the correct items; they got angry and blamed US for cutting into their profit because doing the work the right way would cost them money. Second, they cut corners or use cheap materials despite the impact on their customers; for example, they used plastic gutter brackets that broke in a season instead of metal ones that hold up year after year. Third, good builders try to think ahead and account for contingencies in a project in advance and fairly, but in our experience Powell didn’t use its imagination because it just put all risk of an unknown or cost overrun on us. This can result in large avoidable and unnecessary costs for the homeowner. Third, being lawyers, we recognized that proposals Powell gave us, which become binding contracts once signed, were, in our opinion, unfairly one-sided — they protected only Powell in any contingency that arose during their work and if any litigation came from the contract. We tried to change this to protect ourselves too, but could not. We have found other builders who are fairer from the get-go, or who will promptly agree to changes to lopsided proposals, and such an attitude speaks volumes. Last, but certainly not least, we foolishly didn’t get other bids for a few jobs that Powell did. When we wised up, we found that Powell cost 2-4 times what other builders did for the jobs we were doing. Bottom line — we caution anyone considering using The Powell Company."
