Barry Bush Home Improvements Llc

They showed up on time and as promised finished the work in three days. I was really suprised on how fast they work. They seem to enjoy what they do. Not a single drop of paint on the floor. We had the walls painted different colors and everything went very well. We even changed our minds about the color of the kitchen after the paint was purchased and Barry was very understanding and went back to Sherwin Williams and got the paint that we requested.

In our view, Barry and his team meet the "gold standard" of professional contractors. We originally contacted Barry because of his expertise in eco-friendly paints. We interviewed several painters and Barry seemed to be the easiest to work with. Barry was extremely responsive (email and phonecalls) throughout the process, his pricing was competitive and he was very flexible in terms of scheduling. Barry and his team arrived on time everyday during the project and were very respectful of our home. Just as significant--the project was completed on time. In addition, we had hired an interior designer to assist with color-selection. Her specifications were somewhat complicated--and Barry's team executed her plan to specification. We couldn't be more pleased with the quality of Barry's work or the overall experience--we highly recommend Barry for your painting needs.

The work was done over less than 3 days. Barry and his staff arrived punctually at the promised time. At the end of each day, the rooms were tidied up and left in great condition. The painting was done carefully and well - it looks terrific. Barry offered a number of suggestions and recommendations around types of paints, and great attention was paid to details. They were a pleasure to have in the house, and were very easy to communicate with. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for any painting or wall repair, and have no doubt that other home repairs would be also done similarly well. I have already requested estimates from Barry for several more rooms in my house requiring repairs to the ceilings as well as painting. I have no complaints or negative observations at all about any aspect of the work completed and am in fact thrilled with the results. Pricing was fair and appropriate. Appreciative comments from others upon first seeing the newly painted rooms included that it looked like a page from a Pottery Barn catalogue!

Of the three painters who came out to appraise the job, Barry was the most prompt and thorough of the three and his pricing competitive. One painter failed to even give us a bid, despite having surveyed the work to be done. Barry's crew is young and obviously take care and pride in their work. We were very pleased with the results.

Barry is a great communicator. He is available via email and phone and responds immediately to any issue. His quote was HALF of the other estimates we received. He made sure our project would appropriately fit into his schedule and started and finished ON TIME! His crew is careful, artistic, and efficient. Barry himself is a great guy. I would recommend he and his team for any painting or home improvement job you may have.

Things went great with Barry right from the beginning. i am renovating a house for my son and live in a different city, so had to communicate from out of town and did several trips back and forth. Barry showed up at the time he was supposed to for estimate which was important to me- i could not not afford to waste time while i was in Philadelphia. He put together an estimate promptly.Some areas were slightly more than i wished to pay and we worked the details to make us both comfortable. In the end, of course, I added so many more things along the way as people usually do. He was good about communicating via email , which is key for me and also we texted a lot during the job, which made it easier for me too.(I'm big on texting!) He was extremely easy to work with and fair.He started the job when we discussed it would start and finished when I needed him to be, no problems at all, even with the extras i threw at him constantly ( and repaints colors i changed my mind about) If I was not 100% happy with anything , he went back at it until i was, no complaints, but there were few of those.The work was very good, always cleaned up, pleasant experience. I would definitely work with Barry again and recommended him to my realtor.I am extremely picky and critical and he was fantastic.

Barry followed up his estimate with calls and emails about our approximte start date, he and helper arrived on time. They worked neatly and met my expectations for all phases of the job.He was friendly courteous and considerate of specific circumstances. I would utilize him again.

After reviewing multiple contractors on Angie's List, it was clear that Barry had all the qualifications to perform the work we were looking to have completed. Our house is over 100 years old ? there were multiple coats of paint over the wallpaper and the molding and trim were damaged and repaired several times showing its age. The bathroom walls were very uneven and had lots of divots and scratches. The kitchen ceiling had some water damage due to a prior leak. There was also some damaged trim and drywall by our front door. I emailed Barry about providing us an estimate for the work. Fortunately for me, work was slowing down for him (it was just before the Christmas Holiday) and he was able to come out and meet me within a day or two. I walked Barry through the house and showed him all the work. He was very familiar with what I was requesting and was able to set my expectations for how the work would go (it was very messy work). Within a day or two he provided me an estimate that was very reasonable. I went ahead and scheduled the work with him. Just before his work, we had new hardwood floors installed. Barry was very flexible in working with us to accommodate the hardwood floor installer?s schedule. Just before he started, I added a few other items to the list, which Barry promptly met me to discuss, and provided a revised estimate shortly thereafter. Once work began, Barry was very cautious of our new hardwood floors and did an excellent job protecting. We provided him a key that he used for the time he was working at our house. We felt very comfortable giving him our key and he locked up at the end of every day. On a few occasions, I meet the people that were working with Barry and they were extremely nice and professional. Even though Barry had other people helping out, he was on site everyday and gave me detailed progress reports at the end of each day. Removal of the wallpaper was extremely messy, which Barry warned me about beforehand, but he and his crew did a good job cleaning up at the end of every day. At the end of the project, Barry asked me to walk through the work and send him a list of anything that he missed. The next day he took care of any remaining items. Once he finished everything and was paid in full, we found an area that needed some touch-ups. I emailed Barry to let him know this, he apologized for the oversight and scheduled a time to come out and make it right. It was nice to see that even after we paid him in full, he was still willing to come out and make everything right. Barry?s customer service is outstanding. I would definitely use him again for work and would highly recommend him.

Barry gave me an estimate that was $5,000 less than the other contractor who bid on the job. His final bill for the work matched the estimate exactly. He started and completed the job exactly when he said he would. It was a big job and it took him a week and a half. He and his crew were a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend Barry, he is fantastic.

Barry was extremely easy to work with. We communicated both by phone and email which is essential for me. He was flexible with meeting with me and scheduling work.

He was personable on the phone, responded with a detailed but easy to understand proposal, and was reasonable in price. His work was more than satisfactory, I would use Barry for more work if it comes up.

Contacted through email, Barry came out and took notes on the different areas that needed fixing. Let us know of any concerns he had, (possible mold, Etc.) and got us an estimate in a few days. Pretty much everything else went as planned, except the drying time took an extra day. Good experience.

We have old plaster underneath which is why we had somebody come in and do it. Barry Bush did a pretty good job. There were a couple of areas that he missed. It was a big job and he had told us ahead of time to give him a call if there were one or two areas that he might have missed. So we did call him and he came back right away and fixed them. We were pretty satisfied with him. He is a really great communicator. He was on top of calling me back and e-mailing. If you are a person that can?t always talk on the phone, then you can e-mail him. His response time was really fast. He did everything in writing. He was very professional. His price was $1000 less than another person. I would use his services in the future too.

I cannot praise Barry and his crew enough. Barry and his three colleagues were punctual, personable, and professional. They worked under somewhat difficult circumstances due to time constraints (on my part) and having to work around an ill golden retriever. This is the only company I will hire for painting and recommend them without reservation. The pricing was very reasonable and the finished product excellent. I'm thrilled with their work.

Barry responded promptly to phone and email contact. He and his coworker were punctual for the estimate appointment and on each day they did work. He was up-front about work types he does not do, and about an individual item he thought should not be done before another repair had been completed. He made time for the work to squeeze it in before a deadline on my end. He warned us about collateral dust from the work and made a real effort to contain it. The final product is very professional. Overall a pleasant experience and we will definitely call him next time.

Barry and his team did an excellent job and were extremely professional and efficient. We would certainly use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a quality and trustworthy painter.

Barry Bush Home Improvement did a good job. He gave us a discount afterwards, which was very nice.

Very professional, courteous and creative. I am considering some more remodeling next year and will not hesitate to choose Barry Bush Home Improvements for this work.

In the course of interviewing a few different contractors for this job, Barry easily stood out as the most professional from the bunch. He was easily accessible by phone or email and always made sure to get back to me by the end of the day. His quote was very reasonable and the work done by him and his crew was very professional, on time and good quality. When I had some questions about how the deck stain was setting, he was there to make sure that I was satisfied with the work and felt that it was exactly what I wanted. He purchased all the materials for the job and presented me with all the receipts. I am going to need some more work done around the house over the next few months and will definitely call Barry.

Everything came out better than we could have imagined and he finished it with lightening speed. On top of that, he was friendly, punctual and communicative. We had a lot of questions and weren't particularly organized about our request. Barry was great at figuring out our priorities and designing a project plan. This was a great experience and we can't recommend him enough!

We originally contacted Barry (via email through Angie?s List) to stain our deck. He was very responsive to our inquiry and came to our home within a week to give us an estimate. While at our home we also had him check out some water damaged walls in our basement, which he said he would be able/willing to repair. We received his estimate within a day or two and it was very reasonable so we hired him for both jobs. Barry and his employees are very professional, always showed up on time and completed both projects with excellent results. Both of our schedules required flexibility and he was very accommodating to our requests. While completing our deck we had him look around and give us an estimate for painting the interior of our home, which again was very reasonable and we hired him to paint our two children?s bedrooms. They came out great and we will be hiring him again to complete the remaining interior when finances allow.

From the estimate to completion, everything went smoothly.

It went over very well. I would be delighted to work with him again. His price was reasonable, he was responsive and attentive to what needed to be done and any scheduling.

Barry is extemely responsive and professional. He calls back promptly and showed up for both the estimate and the job when he said he would. He was also able to squeeze us in a good 2-3 weeks ahead of his original estimated schedule which we were thrilled about. We were very happy with the quality of the work performed and the timeframe in which it was completed. During the actual work phase it appeared as though he may have forgotten something we originally discussed/quoted and when reminded he took care of it immediately even though that meant redoing a coat of paint already applied. Complaints are minor but worth mentioning. The clean up was satisfactory but could have been better. We expected a lot of dust from sanding the walls prior to painting but we also expected what little furniture we left in the room to be fully covered and we observed only a dropcloth on the bed mattress. They definitely vacuumed but did not get under the bed. We also took great care to remove the majority of furniture from the room leaving only 2 heavy pieces that would need to be moved around within the room during the project. It does not appear that any type of furniture slider or mover was used and we were left with some scratches on our hardwood floors. Overall we were very satisfied with Barry's quality of work and his communication before, during and after the project is the best we've experienced.

It was a complete success. We are thrilled not only with the beautiful new look of our home, but our experience with Barry and his team as well. Barry is tuly a different breed of contractor. He was highly communictive and responsive. He was good to his word on everything he told us, from price, to start date, to daily completion targets. We were impressed that he was exceedingly aware of the displacement a large job can cause, and mindful to minimize disruption in our home. The job lasted a little more than a week. He and his team arrived promptly each morning as we were leaving for work, and had all of their work materials neatly stored by the time we returned. Barry designed the job on a rolling floor-to-floor basis so that on any given night we would be able to relax in areas of our home that would be unaffected. He even went out of his way to complete our son's room in a single day so as not to put him out of his bed for even a night. Barry also surrounds himself with a team that shares his best traits -- they are polite, courteous and prompt and approach their craft as artists and professionals. Most importantly, they treat your home like your home, not their workplace. All of the foregoing describe the professionalism and other wonderful personal qualities of Barry and his team. We are happy to add that the quality of the work matches the quality of the person. Our walls were in bad shape. We have a nearly 100 year house that had been renovated by a prior owner about eight years ago. The original plaster had a lot of cracks and worn areas, and the dry wall in the addition had settlement cracks and areas of water damage. They are now clean, smooth and seamless, and the paint makes them look brand new. The painting itself also had some intricacies, as it included a fair amount of small brush work -- white-on-color contrast of millwork -- and it came out beautifully. With each passing day, you could see the transformation. As the job progressed, we got into a daily routine of reviewing what had been done the day before and what was on the agenda for today. He was highly responsive and receptive to last minute changes, touch ups and follow up requests, and always quick (same day) to complete them. So from every perspective -- quality of the work, professionalism and day to day interaction -- it was a job that we are completely thrilled with. We would recommend Barry without hesitation.
