THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE USED HIM. THEY CAME ON A RAINY DAY AND WASHED THE DECK, WAITED TILL IT DRIED AND CAME BACK ANOTHER DAY TO STAIN. I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS A LITTLE HIGH, BUT I DIDN'T COMPARE WITH OTHER COMPANIES.

CALL SOMEONE ELSE IF YOU WANT YOUR DECK SERVICED. I CALLED JEFF 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I LEFT A MESSAGE, THE CALL WENT UNRETURNED. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, I PLACED A SECOND CALL AND GOT HIM 'LIVE.' I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR HIM TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT MY DECK - HE NEVER SHOWED UP. THE 3RD TIME I CALLED TO REQUEST RE-SCHEDULING THE MISSED APPOINTMENT AND HE CALLED BACK SAYING HE COULDN'T MAKE IT OUT UNTIL NEXT YEAR. WAY TOO MUCH WORK TO TRY AND UTILIZE HIS COMPANY.

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING JOB. 76-YEAR OLD HOUSE REQUIRED A LOT OF SURFACE PREPARATION BEFORE ACTUAL PAINTING. THE PREP WORK DONE WAS GREAT AS WELL AS THE FINISHED JOB. HAVE OWNED THIS HOUSE 24 YEARS, AND HAVE USED 3 PAINTERS OVER THE YEARS, BUT NONE COMES EVEN CLOSE TO THE OUTSTANDING JOB DONE BY JEFF AND CHUCK. IF YOU WANT SOMEONE TO GET AND OUT FAST, JEFF IS NOT YOUR GUY, BUT IF YOU WANT THE JOB DONE WELL, WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL, HE CAN''T BE BEAT.

JEFF IS A VERY NICE GUY TO WORK WITH. HE AIMS TO PLEASE AND WILLING TO EXPLAIN THINGS ALONG THE WAY. I DID HAVE TROUBLE CONNECTING WITH HIM BY PHONE BOTH TO GET AN INITIAL ESTIMATE AND THEN TO SAY WE WANTED TO GO AHEAD. I ENDED UP HAVING TO CALL HIM BACK IN EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS. ONCE WE CONNECTED AND HE STARTED THE JOB HE WAS EASIER TO CONTACT AND INITIATED PHONE CALLS TO ASK FOR FEEDBACK ON HIS PROGRESS WITH THE JOB.
