Get matched with top deck staining pros in Lehigh Valley, PA

"Please see attached pictures of the work that was done. This has been the worst and most painful experience in my life ever. Mr. Gilberto Mora from Personal Painting is a one man business. He recently hired two inexperienced men to assist with minor details and not the actual paint or spackle job. Basically, they run back and forth to his truck to get supplies for him which is annoying because the door slams constantly and my AC is on. It took him over a month to do the job and he showed up a few hours at a time on four different occasions. He kept rescheduling me because he had bigger paying jobs than mine. He would show up at my house when it rained. He told me he could squeeze me in-between because he is presently painting the outside of homes and can’t paint them in the rain. Here are the end results of the nightmare. He failed to put on a second coat of paint as contracted in three rooms, failed to give me a receipt for services, failed to smooth out many imperfections from wet sanding, failed to paint my exterior door frame which I supplied him with the paint prior to and he has failed to return my paint. Also, he cleaned his paint supplies in my sink. I have a septic tank so this is never a good thing because the latex in the paint can cause serious damage which he was unaware of. I told him to clean his tools outside but he did not want to comply with my wish. Told me to get an engineer to check my tank out for damage in a smart- alec way. I have already paid him in full in cash for the services and he failed to complete the job and decided to stop responding to me via text which is his form of communication, I saved all of our texts though. He is a GOOD example of over promising and not delivering. Now I have to pay someone else to complete the POOR workmanship and the incomplete work. I will be reaching out to the Better Business Bureau & Consumer Affairs next. I am expecting a refund of my money and compensation for my Benjamin Moore paint that he stoled."

"they ate awesome"

"That #1 Painter Lehigh Valley recently refinished my kitchen cabinets, and the results are stunning! I’m beyond pleased with the quality of their work. Jim is personable and easy to talk to, while Larry, his skilled worker, showcases impeccable craftsmanship. He did a fantastic job refinishing the cabinets, making them look brand new. He took great care covering things up and cleaning up nicely each day. The cost was just a third of what cabinet refacing would have been. I highly recommend this company and will definitely be using their services again."

"They were in and out super fast, cleaned up after themselves and did great work."

"I would, 100%, work with Backyard Services again. Colin is an absolute sweetheart. We had a simple vision of a pool deck and they helped us achieve that and so much more."

"In 4 hours the landscape in the front of the house was transformed. An amazing job. Very friendly service."

"He was on time. Very friendly and courteous. And stayed longer to get the job done in one day. Clean up was excellent."

"I don’t normally post reviews but this one I HAVE TO! The sad part is before this encounter I referred 3 different people who needed flooring or painting to him & immediately had to reach out to them & warn them of this final interaction. First off he broke multiple items in my home, never replaced the outlets they removed to paint, & left areas unpainted or needing touch ups which I did myself & I had an item go missing which I was willing to let go of (but now after the threat made I'm not sure if my items were broken, missing or simply stolen)……in addition he had no real schedule, they showed up whatever day/time they wanted, if they showed up at all! Then things took a turn for the worse when I asked him to come back and fix my railings that were in great condition when I purchased the home 12-21-23 & it PASSED inspection (because it would be a safety hazard it would not have passed inspection if they were not in good & stable condition) that his guys took out while doing the flooring. Mind you, I expressed to him the reason I am requesting that he comes back and fix it is because I had a child bump into it and almost fall through the railing on the second floor down the steps. When I text to ask if he can come back to fix it, first I was told they were already like that, then he said they were falling out as they walked up the steps, THEN I was called a b**** & he said “I’d be lucky if he doesn’t come back to rob me after all the work he did for me (imagine how uneasy that would make any female knowing this group of grown men had access to my home for over a month!) then he said that I wouldn’t even be able to prove he did any work for me since I paid him cash & we didn’t have a contract”. All the while I have direct messages including discussions of payment, he text me pictures & vice versa, & he posted the job on his FB! When I say I was FUMING!!! The lack of professionalism, lack of accountability and to make threats?! Thank God for pictures, text messages, FB & witnesses! I waited to post this in hopes that once I calmed down from my initial reaction I’d have a different perspective on how to approach this. The saddest part is that this could have VERY easily & respectfully been resolved ??‍♀️. Unless you have the time/ability to micromanage any & every thing he does, DO NOT HIRE!!!! He "might come back & rob you"! (Disgusting to say even out of anger!) Take a look at the before & after below. P.S Also the same closet he posted on his page had to be redone by a different contractor because he didnt actually screw anything onto the studs but instead used anchors & made pointless holes in my wall."

"Thomas was terrific. We were preparing to sell our house, and Thomas suggested several improvements that he could make that would increase the appeal of the house. He carried out an ambitious program over 3 weeks. The difference was dramatic, and we received multiple offers for considerably more money than we initially projected. The house was on the market less than a week, and I credit Thomas' work for both the increased price and speed of sale."
