The only issue I had was very minor, but is worth noting. On installation, there was a mix-up on some of the specifications and part of the original order had not been completed. This resulted in a two week delay. I found this bothersome as I had to take two seperate vacation days to have the work done, rather than one.
The quality of the craftsmanship and installation far exceeded my expectations. And the price was so much cheaper than the other companies. I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends in the future."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/carrollton/read-design-associates-blinds-express-reviews-157405.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"BRIAN GREAM RENOVATIONS","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jennifer R."},"reviewBody":"We are so happy that we finally got this done. The house was in dire need of a paint job, from the previous owner's bad paint job and general neglect. There were plenty of other issues, too, that we didn't really know what to do about (the ones mentioned in \"services performed\"). Brian turned out to be the right guy to take care of things, because he is very knowledgeable about older homes in our neighborhood and because he can get the subcontractors for anything that needs to be done. We had gotten competing quotes from paint companies, one of which showed very little interest in dealing with an older home, and another one who was kind of stumped by the condition of our home, especially the trim. The owner of the second paint company looked at other houses in our street that had recently been painted, and expressed admiration about how nicely they were done, and mentioned that he could not promise that our house would turn out equally nice. What this guy didn't know was that two of these houses had been painted by Brian Gream... and then he gave us a quote that was 50% higher than Brian's! Needless to say whom we hired. Brian was very responsive about getting in touch with us, looking at our house and providing a quote. It was great to finally be able to talk to someone who could answer all our questions and who gave us useful suggestions. The work was started on time and took two weeks to complete. We are very happy with the result, it almost feels like we got a new house. We were pleased to be informed that the gable siding is very high quality wood and that none of it had to be replaced. A few pieces of trim were rotted and were replaced with similar new pieces to preserve the look. The brick repair was great quality - Brian went a long way to find bricks with a texture that matched the existing brick. The front door got a new lock set, replacing the original one from 1940. This was a pleasant surprise, because when we had bought the house, the inspector had told us that it would not be possible to replace the lock set, due to different size of current locks, and that we would instead have to replace the entire door. Brian's lead painter was very helpful with choosing a color scheme, and the end result is beautiful. He also suggested to replace the old, dirty porch lights with new ones, and to add shutters to a bay window. When the work was completed, the only flaw in the picture was a rain gutter that had gotten visibly bent and dented by a ladder. We were going to point that out to Brian and ask for a replacement gutter, but Brian beat us to it and had it replaced before we could bring it up. We are very happy with Brian and his crew, and I think a guy like Brian should come with an older house like ours when you buy it! Update: In the days after completion of the job, I found two sharp utility knife blades lying open in the grass just outside the house. That's two too many; I don't need a family member or the dog stepping into one of these. So check your property accordingly, some of Brian's subs are definitely not a cleaning crew."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/dallas/brian-gream-renovations-reviews-368702.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Protek Painting & Roofing","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Bob A."},"reviewBody":"Protek's painting ability was not that good at all, but the sales person that I was in contact with was great (unfortunately he no longer works for the company).

I wanted the bricks painted white and I noticed that there were stripes amongst the paint. I found this strange since it was suppose to be sprayed and not roller or brush painted. The front entrance of my home needs to be repainted already because of all the cracks that should have been packed and sealed. They ensured me that they could rehab my shutters, but now the paint is down to the wood. I have been in contact with their sales person, but they have yet to come and resolve anything.

Hurricane Shutters questions, answered by experts
Hurricane shutters can add value to your home by protecting windows from flying debris during a storm and possibly reducing your home insurance premiums, likely appealing to potential home buyers. The material also plays a role in the value of the hurricane shutters. For example, plywood hurricane shutters are a more temporary solution that likely will not impact home insurance costs even if it can save your windows and doors from damage.
Clean regularly, check for rust, and lubricate moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
In areas prone to hurricanes, not having hurricane shutters can make your home more of a risk to insure, leading to higher premiums. But by installing them, you can save about 8% to 10% on your insurance premium. Having hurricane shutters not only saves you on insurance but can also save you from costly window repairs after a storm.
They provide storm protection, security against intruders, and improve energy efficiency.
Yes, most services include resealing and weatherproofing to improve durability. Confirm with your contractor.
