YARDLEY PAINTING

Overall so far we have had a very poor experience with Yardley Painting. Here is a list of more than a few things we have experienced: -Spots have been missed on walls in multiple rooms. -Splattered paint drops on FLAT SCREEN TV and TV STAND! -Splattered paint drops all over trim in multiple rooms. -Spackle left unpainted in multiple places. -Globs of paint in the middle of walls from rollers in multiple rooms. -Large drip marks in the middle of main walls. -Uneven paint lines in the middle of walls from rollers and brushes. -Wallpaper was painted over as a recommendation from the owner Paul rather than taking it down with the promise that seams would not show and there would be no issues. Despite the owners promise you can clearly tell wallpaper was painted over. This review is pending updates for when we speak to the owner Paul tomorrow. One comment used when speaking with him the other day was "if you wanted perfection if would cost you more!". I didn't know we were paying for poor workmanship from the start. In no way would we have used Yardley Painting if we knew this going in. I would stay FAR away from this paint company. We have a meeting with the owner Paul tomorrow so hopefully these issues get addressed. I will update this review once we speak the owner Paul.

I got most of my house painted in preparation for putting the house on the market. I selected this company because I was impressed by the owner who did the bid, and their price was significantly lower than other bids. I would give this company a mixed read. Paul, the owner, and Mike, his preferred painter, were professional, friendly,prompt, lean, and did very good work. The house looked beautiful when they were finished, but the process of getting there was painful. Paul brought in other painters toward the end of the job who: 1) left the job on Friday afternoon with tarps all over everything and the furniture away from the walls when the room was, in fact, finished. I was told they would be back on Saturday but they never returned until Monday, so my house was a mess unnecessarily for the whole weekend and I ended cleaning it up myself. 2) The painters in my bedroom got paint and globs of caulking on the carpet that didn't get cleaned up until I called Paul to complain. 3) There were two new wooden windows in the bedroom that I asked to have sanded and primed before they were painted. In fact, they didn't sand them and went right to finished paint without priming. 4) Paul suggested several additional things that he thought I should get done. He gave me prices for them and I told him I wanted him to do the work. He finished all the work in the original contract, then never showed up again to do the additional work.

Great.

Overall, it was a great experience. Paul was the most attentive, reachable contractor I've ever worked with. He answered emails and phone calls quickly, he gave me wonderful suggestions, and he was very easy to work with. He did not charge extra for the number of different colors that I wanted, and he responded quickly and with flexibility to my last-minute requests and changes. He went above and beyond customer service by putting out my trash for us for the month before we moved in, he took in our mail, and he even drained our koi pond for us. He gave me recommendations for other contractors, restaurants in the area, etc. He is an extremely nice guy who gave us the best price for the job. The only criticism I have is that the work was a little sloppy in the dining room. Our dining room was painted dark red, and he used a sprayer, so some of the paint got on our wood beam ceiling and dining room light (and even into the kitchen). He came back to fix it, but it's still a bit visible.
