ANDREW CHARLES QUALITY WALLPAPERING

This was disappointing experience. I was impressed with Andrew when he came to give the estimate. He took a good look around at the work so that his estimate "would be fair" to both of us. His estimate came in $1500 under what another contractor had estimated for the same job. Since Andrew had been recommended by a neighbor, and his price was so good, we hired him. He was able to start later that week. He began the job with one worker. At the end of the second day, he told me he would have to change his estimate. Stripping the wallpaper was taking longer than he thought and, in his words, "he had to make a living". The next day, I told him I wanted to have the discussion of his revised estimate by the end of the day. He tripled his price on stripping the hallway and doubled it on the bedroom. WOW. It was clear that he did not want to finish the job. What he did looks fine, but we had to clean up paint off the floor and he neglected to paint all of the trim in one room.

IT WAS EXCELLENT. THEY REALLY TOOK THEIR TIME TO DO A VERY GOOD JOB OF SCRAPING THE OLD PAINT OFF. THEY DID A GOOD JOB OF PREPPING WITH PRIMER. THEY USED VERY GOOD QUALITY PAINT. THEY HAD A GOOD SENSE OF WHAT TO USE ON THE TRIM. THEY WERE NICE GUYS AND DID A QUALITY JOB. I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS A LITTLE HIGH BUT IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY WHEN IT WAS DONE.
