"Douglas and his team did great work for us at our lake house on Lake Cherokee in Tamassee, SC. Needed to provide some new construction along with some remodel, it all came out great. Douglas listens and even did things that needed to be done that weren't to be on his to-dos! Best of all even with some adders he kept the project on the original budget. I would recommend Douglas any day!"
"Michael is excellent! He built quite a bit of our house! Trustworthy and honest. A good communicator as well! He makes great use of his time. He has done far more and far greater than we expected! He has great communication with the people who work with him. They show up in the morning, on time! He has a lot of integrity. He is a quality, top-of-the-line builder! Best of the best! We are very happy with him! -Mike and Joan"
"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! They have become my NEW handyman for my home projects. They explained everything to me in complete detail, the projects were an A+, but more so they were very very fair. Don't hesitate to hire them, you will be extremely pleased. Professionalism from start to finish. I've already booked my next project(s). I love today's work that was performed. Thank You!"
"Luke was a gift! He responded quickly to my call and was able to start painting two days later. He was professional, knowledgeable, on time and always cognizant of the fact that I was working from home while he was painting. He meticulously painted my entire house and it looks amazing. I highly recommend Luke, you will not be disappointed."
"Terry and his crew did an excellent job laying our new floor. They went above and beyond what the original scope of work was. The additional work was above the original estimate, but much less than would be expected. I will definitely consider Terry again for additional projects."
"Thomas and his team were very thorough and made this process very easy for me as a homeowner. I’m extremely happy with the work and think he treated us extremely well. The quote, communication, work and follow up were all very good and I definitely recommend him for any exterior needs!"
We recently purchased a 2nd home on Lake James with an exterior that is 100% cedar. The exterior was in serious need of cleaning and re-staining. It had not been maintained; and, had a significant amount of mold staining and several areas of the trim had the original finish peeling off.
We contracted with Mike and Crystal to prep and re-stain the exterior of our home. Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated thoroughness, competency and responsibility. Mike and Crystal took personal responsibility to ensure they delivered a quality product. Mike kept his commitments and did not compromise his work product even when faced with the stripping process taking more time than he expected. He completed the project per the schedule he committed.
Mike demonstrated a high attention to detail in the finishing process and ensured the project was completed to my satisfaction. The home looks beautiful...we could not be happier.
I solicited bids from several paint contractors and evaluated several before selecting Mike. His pricing was very competitive versus several other contractors; but, I never observed where Mike cut corners.
I would definitely recommend MIke's Painting and will plan to use Mike again when we have painting needs.
"Cody was very responsive to my inquiry and was able to come out and quote the same day. He was polite, respectful, and knew what he was doing. He checked with us along the way to make sure the job was going the way we wanted. He also cleaned up nicely. We would hire him again."
"Very pleased with workmanship. Great attention to detail. Cipriano took pride in his work. He also conducts himself in a professional manner and a is great to deal with. Prompt, curteous, and does what he says he is going to do. Would definitely utilize his services again."
