DON'T USE THESE PEOPLE!!! The father came to my house and quoted to give a price quote. The quote was for the entryway, stairs, upstairs hallway, living room and dining room. He showed me how all the walls had two layers of paper. His quote was for $2200. We explained we would think about it. A couple days later he called me and asked our decision. I told him we just could not afford that much right now. He said he has no jobs lined up right now and just wants to keep his men busy, so he would do it for $1500. I told him we would think about it. I texted him back saying we can afford $1000 and that is it. He called and said OK because it is more important to keep his crew busy.
On the day of arrival, him, and his two sons showed, with a couple other guys. It was obvious right from the start, the rude one son (Tom jr) was in charge. He started looking over everything and said that there is no way they can do the job for this price. They will do just the entryway, stairs, and upstairs hallways for $1400. He said his father didn't know there was multiple layers. He said if they did all the work his father agreed to, it would be a 3-day job.
Well stupid me, out of want agreed to the $1400, not getting the dining room and living room done. While they were working, it was a nightmare....water everywhere...even dripping in the basement. I had other contractors working that he was rude to and yelled at. Well they were done in 4 hours. He said he would text me with a quote for the living room and dining room later.
He later texted and gave a quote for $600 more to finish them. Said it would just be a day and he would do it himself (So, much for the lie of 3 days work). I told him they should do it at no charge and honor there agreement. Which I had already paid $400 then the agreed upon price. I told him they should not send the father out if they don't trust his agreement and that was the end.
They are dishonorable, rude, loud and shabby.

The crew showed up right on time, prepared the area by masking and putting up tarps including covering unmovable furniture. Crew was very professional and hard working. The overall job was excellent and we plan on using Tom's crew for other work within the house. We look forward to using Tom again.

My story is pretty much told above. They removed wallpaper from two bedrooms and did some patchwork which was about the only thing they did half decent. The baseboards in my bedroom look aweful with paint coming off and my window sills have paint bubbling and chipping all around it. It's as if they just slopped on the paint real thick and fast and didn't take their time to do a good job. In my back bedroom they were sloppy with getting the colored paint on the ceiling and door frame. I had them redo that too when they came out. They were not happy about it. Quality is not a word I would use for this company at all. $4000.00 is a lot of money and it definately wasn't worth it in my opinion.
If I could send pictures I would. I am very unhappy with the work this company did and do not recommend them for your needs. As I said, for this kind of money, the paint job should last for many, many years. I have had nothing but problems.

The owner of the company personally arrived to compile an estimate for the requested work. He arrived on time, listened to our families' needs, and budget requirements. After spending about an hour with us, it was explained we should expect a pricing breakdown for the services discussed. The totals were provided the following day as promised. It was extremely thorough, listing multiple options with a written guarantee once the selection was made there would be no "hidden" charges or "add-on's." Another extremely nice feature worth noting was no money was expected until each phase of the project was completed to our satisfaction. (The phases were clearly broken out on the pricing form).
Once the selected service option was decided upon, we simply agreed to a start date to begin the project. They were very flexible and accommodating to our schedule as it was around the holiday season. We were specifically advised of their work schedule and estimated time for completion, by both the crew and very hands-on owner. They arrived on time every morning and completed the job without adding additional days.
The staff was extremely polite and courteous. They made every effort to clean up before they left each evening and minimize the dust as we had a newborn in the home. They always kept us posted as to the progress and made themselves available to address any questions or concerns. They were very respectful of our home and worked without our being present, letting themselves out through the back door each evening. The finished product looks fantastic with painted walls appearing new again. We would highly recommend Miller Brother's for anyone looking to have wallpaper removed and/or painting completed in their home.

As we are out of town, we had to arrange for Miller Brothers to come on a weekend, which they did. They have special steaming equipment and tools which let them remove the old kitchen paper without damaging the wall underneath. They removed the paper, then came back a few days later to repair the plaster (damaged by the homeowner, not by them!), prime, paint, and install new base and shoe moldings. The crew hung plastic sheets to avoid damaging the cabinets, countertops, and appliances, and hung additional plastic sheets at the doorway to prevent the moisture from damaging other parts of the house. Today the kitchen looks like new!
Based on the quality of their work we asked them to patch settling cracks in living room ceiling, paint the main level ceilings, and paint the bedrooms, and the house today looks almost new. The men sent to work on the house were careful to use drop cloths to avoid drips on the carpet, there are no signs of any cracks, and the men cleaned up after themselves being very careful to leave no debris behind.
In addition, Tom Miller helped us locate additional contractors who charged reasonable prices and did outstanding work -- comparable in quality to his. Without the quality of work that Tom's crews performed and his assistance I don't know how we could have coped.
