Jeff always does an excellent job. I can count on him to go the extra mile and make sure everything is just right. He came back to touch something up because it needed to dry first.

It went great! I couldn't be happier with the service and the final product! The provider was personable, professional, reliable and very reasonably priced! The provider even noticed a slight problem with some siding that had come loose and he repaired that for me with no charge!

Jeff always makes sure the client is happy. He also painted some furniture for her to match one of the rooms.

They were great to work with. There were two men who completed the job. They cleaned up after themselves. They were here when they said they would be. When I made a suggestion one of the workers was right there tending to the situation.

I 'm a returning customer of Surface Solutions, this time Jeff power washed the front walk and garage. He painted the garage door and trim and house trim. He is meticulous in his work! Very professional job and attitude. He has done numerous painting (inside and out) and at our home and power washing and I have always been VERY happy with his work. We have stone work in our landscaping and he has power washed that in the past and it looks beautiful when it is done. He is very careful to only use enough pressure to clean and not so much as to damage the material.

They were very good and very professional. Quality was a little important to me than the price. Responsiveness was good.

Jeff is very professional and nice man. He gave me great advice on the painting I was doing myself. His excellent suggestions have made my own projects turn out much nicer. He also helped me find a great network of other specialists when he does not do that type of work (i.e., carpentry or carpet). Highly recommended.

Even though his price was a little between some of the others, I went with him since I already established relationship with him.  He is thorough.  He explains everything and will offer suggestions.  We were trying to match the color of our house, and our house is from 1969.  He went and tried to get the paint to match.  We ended up that we didn’t like the original color after all.  We liked that it was faded from the sun.  He was able to match the color that we liked.  He was patient with us of going through the process that we were able to get what we really wanted.  He cleaned up and was good at keeping up with all the details.  He also power washed to clean my deck.

There wasn’t anything that I disliked about their services.  It was fine.  They just power washed my house and they were personable.  It was a difficult power washing that they did.  It took them a long time to come out.  I would possibly use their services again in the future.

Jeff was quick to contact me via email as I requested and quick to assess our needs and provide a consultative solution.  He got the job done on-time and did a great job.  Really nice guy - I highly recommend him and will use him again.

He charged me about $700 for painting the foyer and the walls. I started working with him and got to know him. I have used him a lot personally. I used him at my mother?s house and for business as well. He is always more bang for the buck. He will come in and touch things up. He is just terrific to have in your house. He is a great human being as well as does a good job as a painter. He always does a little extra as well. I would hire him again. He is a fine human being who does a wonderful job. He is just a great guy. He knows his job. He is very careful. He always puts up good quality materials. He makes good suggestions. He is another one who doesn?t just want to do more work. He has got good ideas and he always recommends good products for things. We were doing a renovation at a friend?s house and I was in charge of it. He and his crew did the cabinets in their kitchen. So, they had to take them all apart and they had to prep them all. Then they did the spray paint on all of them. I told her to pay him a little bit more because he was the one. I told her not to always get the cheapest person. Down the road if you start having trouble with the cabinets for any reason, then he will come back and make sure that they are taken care of and that they are right. There are some people who will just disappear and you never hear from them again. So, he is not that kind of person. Painting kitchen cabinets requires somebody that knows what they are doing. I also had him paint ceramic tile in a house in the bathroom because we couldn?t tear it all out since it was too expensive. So, they prepped the walls and they spray painted the ceramic tiles. The result was fantastic. It was absolutely terrific. He knows his products and knows how to prep for his products. He takes his time and does a wonderful job.

Called-spoke with Jeff. He said he would be out by end of the week to give me an estimate. Took down my complete information and phone. Never called, never showed. Really unprofessional. Update: During the week of March 29th, Jeff Howard contacted me to come out and provide an estimate. He made more than 1 call to reach me. I have selected another company.
Response from Surface Solutions

"In response to the member comments made; I did call, I left a message at the number she provided for her to return my call regarding her exact location. She did not return my call, I could not followup with an estimate without her follow through. I am always happy to give estimates and try my best to be timely and professional."

Jeff came to give me an estimate and we decided on colors for the garage. Despite the lack of electricity, they showed up early and stayed late as needed to get the job done before my party. Thanks, Jeff.

This was at least the 11th year I have used Jeff Howard with Surface solutions. I would not let anyone do any of my painting, etc. Extremely dependable, affordable & professional.

Jeff is terrific! They went above and beyond! I can't say enough good things! He did 10 rooms, including ceilings in 2 rooms and priming and painting the closets. If I couldn't be there, he was able to keep track of my other contractors. I have used him before for my exterior. I can't say enough good things about him! He's clean, polite, and always wants to make sure you are happy. He's a classy guy, and it was a pleasure having him in my home.

The above mentioned gentleman was one of several names of respected painters furnished me by a reputable paint store in the area which my husband and I have patronized for many years. Upon meeting Mr. Howard, was impressed by his appearance, professionalism and equipment. Comparative shopping was never considered. Result: Great job.

ANSWERING MACHINE SAID THEY WOULD RESPOND WITHIN 48 HOURS, THEY DID NOT. I HAVE CALLED A SECOND TIME AND SPOKE WITH A WOMAN WHO GAVE ME HIS CELL PHONE NUMBER AND TOOK DOWN MY INFORMATION. I CALLED THE CELL PHONE AND LEFT A MESSAGE. I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A CALL. OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOT INTEREST IN MY BUSINESS.
