I called Alvarez Painting to get an estimate to have some cracked sheet rock repaired/replaced. Due to the fact that my wife and I both work a significant distance from our home, we asked if it would be possible to have them come out on a Saturday. I was told it was and he agreed to come out on Saturday the 21st (via a text). On the morning of the 21st, I sent a text message asking for a confirmation of our appointment. He replied back via text two minutes later confirming the appointment, saying it would be early afternoon. A little after 3pm, I called, got no answer and left a message asking when he would be coming. It's currently 8:30pm and I never heard anything. Needless to say, I will not be giving them my business.
Description of Work: Did not meet his commitments.

Initially I contacted Paul Alvarez to paint my living & dining rooms, hallway, kitchen and laundry, guest and master bathrooms. As we went along, I asked him for his price to do additional projects. Before Paul could begin painting, there was extensive damage to the wall in my living room from Ant infestation and he re-built the wall as well as filled cracks in the wall. Paul had a crew of approximately five (5) workers who followed his directions regarding laying the laminate & ceramic flooring and painting. Another company was contracted and paid to lay the laminate and ceramic flooring, but quit before finishing the project. Paul stepped up and offered to finish these projects and at a lower rate. During the painting and floor laying, all my furniture was covered and protected. At the end of each workday, Paul and his crew left my house clear of trash and tools. Items that were trash were neatly stacked on the curb to be picked up on trash day by the City. Paul did such a fantastic job, I took pictures of the progress and showed his work to my friends and co-workers. Several even asked for his telephone number for possible projects. If Paul had to pick up items from Home Depot, the store's sales person called me to take my payment information and at the end of the project, Paul gave me a breakdown of work done as well as copies of all items purchased. I am very, very pleased with the outcome of these projects, my home looks like a new place and when I am ready to paint my four (4) bedrooms, I plan to contact Paul Alvarez to do the projects. Paul treated my projects like a job, he and his crew started work each day between 8:30 AM - 5 PM. He was very professional and answered my questions. He is a professional with great ideas based on my specific taste. .
Description of Work: Paul Alvarez painted my living, dining rooms, hallway, master & guest bathrooms, kitchen and laundry areas. He painted all the exterior, interior front & back doors as well as four (4) bedrooms and two (2) bathroom doors. he also re-texted walls in a model pattern. He laid laminate flooring in the dining room and hallway, ceramic tile in the master & guest bathrooms and kitchen & laundry floor. He also installed doors for my pantry, new medicine cabinet in guest bathroom, and re-tiled my master shower including a new seamless shower glass door. He installed a new hot water heater, new hardware in both bathrooms which included installing shower heads, faucets, towel racks, and re-tiling where needed. Paul also rebuilt the pantry in my laundry area.

I highly recommend them. I had a lot of damage when the sewer line overflowed into my house. I had damage to 3 or 4 walls and about 2 feet from the floor was cut out and had to be replaced. He didn't have to repaint the whole living room because it only affected one wall, but he made the whole living room look new. They were amazing. Worked all day while I was at work & when I got home, things were put back so that I could still live in the house while the work was being done. Very professional! I would definitely use them again for anything I needed repairs on. I tell everyone about how great they are!!!!!
Description of Work: Everything in the bathroom had to be replaced. The flooring in the bathroom, bedroom, living room, & laundry had to be replaced as well.

The contractor was quick to respond to our Angie's list inquiry. He spent several hours with us reviewing the job before placing his bid. His initial bid was within the same range as two other bids we had received when we were choosing our contractor, but changed after the job began.... Several things were disappointing about this contractor's work: Re: PRICE 1) The contractor underestimated his labor in his original bid-the contractor should have taken more time to accurately estimate his labor instead of expecting the client to pay additional fees at the end of the job. This dropped his score on price from a "B" to a "C" 2) The contractor never showed any invoices for supplies he purchased for the job (that we had agreed to reimburse to him)-He just stated we owed him "x" amount of dollars for the supplies. This dropped his score on price from a "C" to a "D" Re: QUALITY 1) The plaster work in several rooms had multiple patches of air bubbles that needed to be repaired, and a wood inlaid floor in need of restoration was "undetectably restored". This dropped his score on Quality from a "B" to a "C" Re: RESPONSIVENESS 1) The contractor was hesitant to repair items on "the punch list" that were unsatisfactory to us (i.e. the air bubbles in the plaster and the wood inlaid floor). We really had to press him to finish the work after we had paid him, and he never returned the key after completing the job. This dropped his score on Responsiveness from a "B" to a "C" In summary, When people plan a remodel on a budget, it is disheartening to work with a contractor that either can't, or won't, manage a budget for the job-"D" for professionalism

Response from Alvarez Painting
well most of what [member name removed] did was to get a quote but durning the whole project she added items, the house was in very bad condition probably 30-40 year old duplex which we took and repaired to her expectation. The problem with the customer is as she added work she would say add to the price which she denied so I let her know I had all text messages to back up what she had asked for but then she got upset because she felt it should be free.I feel customers should be honest about posting there report about our ethics because we do provide high end finishes she praised us everyday up to when she felt all the extra work should be free. The part of not showing receipts is not true, The husband who went over the quote was not involved at all until the end when I presented a quote which there was a cost of 150 for painting three doors base and trim from white to chocolate which was fair but he felt it shouldn't have been charged. When we did the walk thru it was suppose to be one color on ceilings and walls one color on doors,base and trim, but [member name removed] painted just about every room different colors splitting doors in two colors and she changed from day one. My guys got along but they couldn't believe how she put so many colors after I had quoted a single color she added over 10 different colors at least and expects it to be the same price as a single color. she purchased a stove top which was to small which she bought a special kit to hide that the hole was cut to big which we installed free but she treated us bad cause we couldn't get back the exact day it was delivered. Her husband sent rude calls I informed him it would be installed asap and then we left the key in the kitchen which he told me to keep until the project was done.

Paul and his crew did excellent work in a professional manner. They will be doing more work for us in a few weeks. Paul responded quickly to my initial call, came to our house 2 days later to view the requirements, sent a reasonable estimate the next day, and performed high quality work in the agreed time-frame. They did a few "extras" at our request and the price was very reasonable. His crew was quiet, clean, and respectful at all times. Paul runs his business well.
Description of Work: Stained our cedar fence & painted our interior trim--baseboards, doors, chair rail. They did all the required preparation prior to applying the stain/paint & cleaned up afterwards.

I called Alvarez for a quote for drywall repair. I spoke with someone who answered the phone. He was not helpful and finally said, "well I cant even help you I am booked up for the next two months, super busy with a big project". Don't waste your time calling them. Find another service contractor.

This is the second time I have used Paul and his is fantastic. He is very busy so he has to fit me in his schedule. The crew arrives on time and works fast. It is also the cleanest paint crew ever as they are constantly cleaning as they go. Paul wants to make every customer happy and is meticulous in his work. Thanks Paul! I will definitely be using you again.

Paul and his team did a great job. I changed my mind twice on what I wanted done, and Paul never said a word. He just set back, let me make up my mind, and provided a quote each time. Once I knew what I wanted, he made helpful suggestions, which I took. He and his team did all of the work in 1 1/2 days, much to my surprise, and they did a great job. Paul was always friendly and punctual. I would definitely hire them again in the future.

I left a detailed message regarding my request for interior painting. Unfortunately, no one ever contacted me back to provide an estimate or acknowledge my request. I guess new customers aren't a priority for this business.

Called back same day arrived on time for quote and quote came back when expected. Very prompt in starting and completing work. Good quality job, but did notice that they didn't paint both sides of door (not sure if that was mentioned specifically, but would have like him to have asked about it). Wife and I thought price was a bit high, but didn't get other quotes based upon his review on Angie's list, so it may have been fine (I usually do my own work but have been under the weather). Everyone was professional, friendly , and again, good quality, and cleanup. Would use him again for sure.

Because of a busy work schedule, Paul had to fit me in his crowded schedule and was very kind to do this. He and his crew arrived promptly at 8AM daily and worked very carefully and attentively . They would constantly clean up during the day as taking off popcorn ceilings is very messy. When they left everyday they cleaned up so well we could use those rooms. They moved all my furniture and covered everything very well. They were in and out in 2 1/2 days. Excellent job.
Description of Work: Paul and his crew removed the popcorn from the ceiling of my foyer and large living/dining room. These were two story ceilings. They also repaired any issues and painted these areas.

I was very pleased with Paul and his crew and how they worked hard and diligently every day, and were always very accomadating to me and my family during the process. I had my kitchen cabinets painted along with several rooms in the house and they all turned out looking great. Paul was very much willing to do anything that I asked or to answer any questions I had during the job. The initial quote I got did not include paint, which was about 700 dollars so I would just say that maybe that should be included in the quote, but that may just be me not knowing how stuff works in the painting world. Some of my cabinets don't shut as perfectly as I would like but the one's that I had major problems with, Paul and his crew returned to fix within a day or two. I think that Paul was very attentive to get things exactly how I wanted them and would fix anything I didn't like without making me feel bad or acting put out. I would make sure Paul was there next time when the cabinets were being put back on as I think that the crew may not have been as good at that as he was. Overall a great experience and I would use them again

Theres times that we do a material list at the end when a customer adds as we go, i cant guess so at the end whatever material is added, my customer added new hinges which were bigger then the old ones we fought hard to make these doors operate to the best of our ability as possible, thats something that I have no control of, but overall They all worked out.

Called several painters on Angies list with the requirement to start right away because we had other work scheduled after painting. Alvarez agreed to and did start and complete as needed. He had 3 very good painters including his son. They did an excellent job. He was cooperative as work was changed and added.

Alvarez had death in family but still stuck to service dates. We reduced scope from five rooms to remove paper, then finish and paint. He brought two helpers. They were not as capable as he, and some quality degradation resulted. Specifically, caulk and join points uneven. Some wall hardware not finished behind, nor properly rehung. No QC customer satisfaction follow up by him. Dd not point out my issues as my wife happy with work for price. Would use again.

From Paul's initial visit to make a proposal, until the day everyone drove off; everything was a delight. They had to move several family antiques plus all of the other furniture in the dining room and living room. Work began with moving furniture, covering other furniture with tarps. One group began on the wall build-out while another group began prepping the living room for painting. The area was kept very clean. Of course all of the work being done was important, but I must comment on the crew. They were all gentlemen. The guys always wore clean work clothes every day. They did not use profanity; never smelled of alcohol, didn't smoke, always respectful and they even put the toilet seat down!! In all of the years of being a rental property owner and a home owner, I do not remember ever having a tradesman who used the restroom while on the job site to put the seat down! They get five stars just for that! Almost forgot -- I took pictures of the various stages of the work and of the crew!
Description of Work: We had walls built between the living room and dining room to close up a large opening. Our living room walls were stained a dark walnut. We decided to have them painted. Paul even convinced my husband to paint the fireplace!! We had electrical moved to accommodate moving the freezer from kitchen to laundry room. We also had a french door replaced with a slider. The french door had been installed incorrectly five years ago by someone who didn't really know what they were doing! Even though it was a pretty door, it had to go! The install of the new door required removing bricks to make for a perfect fit. Everything Paul and his crew did for me was excellent. My father had been a painting contractor for over 50 years, much of the time working on homes in the Turtle Creek area. He taught me perfection, attention to detail, and what makes for an excellent tradesman. Paul is exactly what my dad described. He is the epitome of an Excellent Tradesman. My dad would be happy I found Paul Alvarez to work in my home. I'm happy I found Paul too!

Mr. Alvarez and his crew arrived on the scheduled date at the scheduled time. They covered everything in the areas to be repaired, did their prep work and moved items quickly and effeciently to give themselves ready access to the walls. Everything was covered but I never saw any evidence that any paint ever dripped. They cleaned up before they left each day and left us with rooms still usable until they returned the next day. He textured our walls to match the texture done by the builder but his work is so superior that we may have to have him back just to bring the other walls up to that standard.
Description of Work: Repaired cracked and missing plaster. Repaired old water stains at ceiling level. Removed wallpaper from dining area and front entry and replaced with textured finish. Painted downstairs dining and living area as well as upstairs loft. Also painted all trim and door exposures for each of the painted rooms.
