My wife and I got three estimates for our project - two from Hanover and one from Mike Ausherman Painting, a York firm. The Hanover contractors were selected by local 'word of mouth' recommendations. Ausherman was invited to bid on the basis of their radio and billboard advertisements. Their bid was the middle priced of the three bids,
Todd Hess, of Ausherman sold the job. He conveyed the firm's technical proficiency and its commitment to being both a quality painter and a quality employer. While I outlined the job in the exact same way to all bidders, Todd was astute in addressing the job and various options that could be considered. This included considering stain vs. paint; using a prime coat under the weather side and not doing so on the other sides. In the end, the job was done as originally described to all bidders - 2 coats of "Duration", but he had conveyed both an 'interest' and a 'knowledge' allowed me to see extra value in their higher bid. Sherwin Williams was having their quarterly sale at the time, and Todd allowed me to claim the savings by buying the paint myself.
The job got started much later than we had hoped, but this was due to an unusual bout of late spring wetness. Aushserman painters Frank and Jeremy completed the job. Frank, the lead on the job, is highly organized, methodical, and moved quickly through the task. One of my concerns on this job was the concern of paint getting where it was not supposed to go. I give Frank an A+ for keeping overspray to zero, and ground drips and spills to almost zero. I could not have been more pleased with this aspect of the job.
Ausherman gets an A+ on communication and forthrightness: When a crane was used on the west side of the barn, the ground, water soaked by unusual spring rains, gave way and the crane slipped, tearing up the sod. I was traveling at the time and was immediately notified. The east (shady) side of the barn, sprayed first after a bout of wet weather, had finish problems; adhesion seemed to be poor. Ausherman came out immediately to appraise the problem, agreed with my findings and came back in early August and scraped and repainted the entire east side. I have very little doubt, that they would address any reasonable issue that would come up in the ensuing months without hassle.
And, of course, the real satisfaction is in the results: The barn looks great! Trim lines are crisp and an old collection of farm buildings has another lease on life. They also through in a bunch of extras - trimming out the barn door hardware; painting an old tool shed not included in the bid, and priming sections of one of the outbuildings that had been freshly re-sided.
So, in conclusion, I would recommend Mike Ausherman painting.

I was disappointed that they had not completely removed old caulking at several spots, and they apologized for an inexperienced worker's lack of completeness. They redid those areas to my satisfaction. The workers were courteous and unobtrusive, and the trimming crisp. I am very particular about work done on my houses, and I am satisfied that by paying more than I could have from some other firms, I received a quality job. Sometimes it is just not worth the risk of going with anyone but those who have a proven record, as does Mike Ausherman.
