Hyde Park Painting & Carpentry

Work done well, no issues

The conversion of my 2 family to a 1 family required architectural drawings and permits. It took a few months for HPPC to fit me in which was not a problem. What was a problem was the contractor forgot about all the details concerning the job. Forgot about the permit and drawings even though emails with the information was sent and discussed before the estimate was received. When the carpenter was brought by to start the job I realized he was not well informed. The communication and lack of professionalism started the first day and did not improve. The work the carpenter did was above average but the methods he used to support the structural wall were not standard. The electrician showed up without knowing one of the items emailed about a couple of weeks before the job. Seems the oversight has lost sight of customer service. Extra work was done at no cost I am guessing to repair the relationship. I would have preferred to have had peace of mind. I lost sleep and missed work since all the details discussed or sent were not communicated to the carpenter doing the work.

Very well very quick and efficient

Very good workmanship

I was very happy with the work that was done by HPPC. I have an old house that had a lot of peeling paint and the painters did an excellent job in the prep work and the painting. Mark and his crew were very thorough and professional and I would definitely hire them again!

Terry did a fabulous job! He was meticulous, efficient and very skiled. I've used HPPC over the past 10 years for painting and other services and they have always been terrific.

They pressured washed the wood. They were doing a trim and they never did. The guys they sent out were totally incompetent.

Very happy with the work done.  I had hired them in the spring but they were not able to do the work until the fall.  I did not lower their rating because it was a very rainy summer.  It was clear to me that the team at Hyde Park is focused on doing high quality work.
The singles were replaced following damage done by a previous contractor.  The repair was done beautifully.  There was great attention to small details during the work.
The painting looks great!  While they were working, it was nearly impossible to tell a project was going on.  The ladders were neatly stored in the back of my house every day.  I have yet to find the scrapped paint or a drop of paint on concrete or grass around my house.  
I felt the workers did the project like they were working on their own house.  I will use them again.

I know this is a review of an very old job, but we just joined Angie's and I'm getting ready to have our house painted again.  In reviewing Angie's list, I notice one reviewer   (March 15, 2013 review) had a similar issue to what I'm finding now.
When the job was complete we were satisfied overall. The house looked very very good with new paint.  Also, HPPC did meet our additional carpentry needs by fixing damaged wood.
 I first noticed the coverage issue a couple years later  when I mentioned to a roofing estimator we had recently done painting and wanted to avoid damage from roof work, and he said, "Well they missed few spots here."  
As we are getting ready to do some painting again,  I've been inspecting  the different areas to paint.  I've notice numerous  spots there isn't coverage of the previous paint.  Some missed spots are brush marks and other missed marks are patches.  This is surprising to me since the contract I had was for two coats.

The other reviewer found the missed spots right after the job was complete, so HPPC came back and fixed the problem.  Lesson learned for me is to inspect  the work in detail immediately to identify correctable issues.

Perfect job, polite workers

carpenters and painters showed up on time, stayed on the job and were respectful of my property.

That didn’t go so good as far as not them but me because I didn’t realize that spot lights were so bad. They had to replace the bulb on one of the spot lights and they couldn’t even get it, it was all corroded, so it was all my fault on that. I had to have a professional electrician do that. They did show up on time and the guy was polite and all that, the only thing I was concerned about was, since it didn’t go so good with the spot light, I thought they would reduce my bill a little bit but they couldn’t. It was a $150 and I thought because they couldn’t put the light fixture, they would allow for that but no. Only the gutter, they only cleaned that out, that was it. They would charge me if we ask them to put the gutter screen on but you just lay it in. Their price in general was high. When they set a price, they preset it a day ahead before they come and that’s it, they can change it or won’t. They were professional. I would shop around for a lower price before I use them again.

Waited a while until they were available. Work done well. Arrived when scheduled.  When I found leak in gutter connection, they returned to fix.
