KEVIN DENGLER WALLCOVERING & PAINTING

unknown

I was referred to Kevin by a client of mine who has hired Kevin several times and has always been happy with the work and price. Kevin camed to my newly purchased home to give me an estimate on an interior paint job. It was for a hallway and 4 rooms. Several of the rooms have 20 foot ceilings and wallpaper needed to be removed from most of them before painting. Kevin was responsive and prompt while we were arranging a meeting time and in showing up for the meeting. He was very nice and extremely professional. The only reason I didn't hire him was because I didn't receive his quote quickly enough. I was under a time constraint and the quote came in the mail versus email or over the phone. I don't recall the estimate unfortunately, but it was right in line with the painter I ended up hiring which was very reasonable, especially compared to the other estimates I obtained. I will definitely consult kevin for any painting estimates I need in the future.

Kevin provided the estimate himself and scheduled the work for soon thereafter. Three different guys did the painting quickly, courteously, and at a good level of quality. They moved and protected all our furniture and put things back when they were done. Overall, they painted a lot of wallspace and did it in two days. Very quick. My only complaint is they didn't do more education. I'm a new homeowner and didn't want a glossly look to my walls, so I asked for flat paint not knowing that it's easily scuffed and not scrubbable. If they would have directed me to a matte finish (the same look, but more durable) I would have been much happier. Now I find myself doing a lot of touch up work and know I'll have to repaint sooner than I'd have wanted.

Kevin's crew did a nice job with prep and painting everywhere except the kitchen. The entire kitchen soffit and several areas of trim was not adequately prepped, and I will need to go back and do some sanding and repainting. I also was very surprised at the mess left the first day they were here; there were piles of plaster and dirt throughout the rooms where they worked; no attempt was made at all to clean up anything (we have just lived through re-doing our kitchen, and everything was always immaculate at the end of each day). The second day of painting was better in terms of clean up (but then again, the prep work had been completed). I will say that Kevin and his crew were all very pleasant, and because I was not home when they finished up, some of the things that I thought they would go back over on the second day were not done as I expected, and was not there to provide any feedback on the job.

Work was completed on time and within estimate with no mess left behind. Very professional job and we left them the key to our house as the work was completed while we were on vacation. Very trustworthy.

Kevin doesn't ask for any deposit and accepts payment only when the customer is satisfied with the work. The crew showed up on time and finished in an almost unbelievable two hours. The work was excellent and they cleaned up completely after-wards.
