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.
Response from Alvarez Painting
"well Im sorry that I did not receive if im on a call many times the message will not store, i try and make everyone important."

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.

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
Response from Alvarez Painting
"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.

Outstanding. In and out in less than 2 days
They came out the day after discussing the work. Would use them again, considering them for inside work.

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.

"Wel I always ask how things look before issuing invoice, had there been a complaint as i can see now there was I go back to correct whatever needs attention."

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!

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.

I never received a proposal from this man. First of all, I wrote my e-mail address in his note book and at that time he did ask
me the spelling of my name. I went over it with him he said he got and will send me a quote. My question is, if you could not read my e-mail address why did you not call me? I have not received an e-mail or a phone call since that day. I would have gotten in touch with him. Again he had my phone number. He also could have left the proposal in my mail box. I have no problem sending my phone records or e-mails to an Angie's list representative to prove he has not contacted me. The statement he made about being late. I did say it was OK to come late. You are right about that, but I also expected a quote from you. After several weeks passed and no quote, I felt like you wasted my time, so I posted what happen and what I was feeling.

"I sent this young man a proposal, i had a hard time understanding his writing and i tried to get back in touch by sending several emails with what i thought may work but that did not work either, I would hope he contact me where i can show him that I did a quote. He states I arrived late I called him to let him know my prior took longer then expected and if it was ok to come by rather then not show up, and he said no probleum."

Overall: excellent price, good work, great level of professionalism.
I contacted Paul and he came right out and did an estimate. We negotiated and agreed that day on the work to be done and a price, which was very good. His team started work within the next couple of days. They arrived on time and were very professional, and Paul was very personable. He's been a little tough to pin down since his work has now taken him a little ways away from where I live, but generally he has been responsive. We've exchanged several phone calls and MANY emails.
The ceilings in my place are very high and slanted, so having them come out and remove the popcorn ceiling at a great price was a bonus. LOVE the recessed lighting. The quality of work was pretty good (popcorn removal, bar grout, bathroom tub wall repair, light fixture replacement, painting), with the exception of the downstairs bathroom. I do realize that it is difficult to accomplish straight lines on textured walls, but I think this room could have been done a little better. I will go back and touch up what I can since they left paint for me. Also, there are a couple of things remaining to be done (texturing on the wall in the downstairs bathroom where the light fixture was replaced, and hanging a new light fixture in the upstairs bathroom since the old one was broken during the work), at which time I expect to upgrade the quality to "A."
I appreciate the work the team did. I wish I had been in town more during the process so that I could give feedback along the way rather than at the end. It would have saved them time from having to come back to my place to address things (which were not huge), and it would have saved me from the angst I felt until things were done. The important thing is that Paul stated many times that he wanted me to be happy. I want that too. :-) So he's followed through on his word to address anything I wanted done - including referring me to a company for my carpet and getting a quote for countertops - and I expect that he will be back to my place as soon as possible to fix the last couple of things. I'm getting happier and happier each time I see him! My place is looking great. Still trying to figure out how a painter keeps his white clothes white!

Paul arrived as scheduled, allowed me to tell him what I wanted. Looked around the kitchen and gave me a bid for cabinet painting with me providing the paint. I then showed him the coupon which appears on this site and he said he never authorized this coupon. It would not be honored..He said he had another customer ask about it as well previously ,,, but the coupon was still out there. He also had words with a friend of mine who was overseeing other work I was having done. My friend was speaking on my behalf regarding the coupon and good business.
I had another contractor out later that day for a painting bid. He came in two thirds less than Paul and his bid included the paint.
I would not recommend based on my experience.

"In response to Member its true I never knew Angieslist had a coupon for 549 for two men to paint cabinets, Anyone in my field knows you can not paint cabinets in that amount of time, her cabinets were in poor condition the last worker she hired gave her a 500 paint job I explained we would have to take the doors off the hinges totally strip to remove the wrong paint that had been applied as we were talking there was a tileman that heard us talking once I gave Member my price she agreed but then real quick said oh by the way I have a coupon, I explained that I could not honor something that I did not agree to this tile man said I as a contractor either way should honor this coupon , I asked very nice who he was at that point I asked if he could stay out of my business I then told Member that its not fair to me and that it would not bother me if she got someone else but i would not commit two men to do a 4-5 day job for that price i quoted her 2000 for a large kitchen she liked my price because she stated when can you start. This person she calls a friend threatened me in her house I apologized to Member for having to ask this tileman to keep out of my business, she agreed with me he shouldn't have done what he did,but as soon as I left Im sure he encouraged her to write a nasty report...Its probably good he"s not on Angieslist because he would not last with his temper. I let Member know that I would be in touch as soon as I left her home which I did I called that day and had these coupons removed from my site because I cannot feel right to try and work on a job knowing it can,t be done in that amount of time."

I called the phone, got a quick response. Was able to get a crew quickly in. I ended up using a coupon for 16 hours of work. I will never do that again. It took them 27 hours to get the two rooms done. I had a fixed bid, before, to get those rooms done for $300 each. This ended up costing me an extra $334. Think about it, you're paying them by the hour. Why would they get things done quickly for you? The longer they stay, the more you pay. Any future paint work will be done on a bid that I think is fair, period. This Angies List deal ended up costing me BIG TIME.
Response from Alvarez Painting
"I met with the member He tried to get a weeks worth of work for 16 hours, I told him up front he would get a big media room with a ceiling 15-16 foot high along with another room that would require 2 coats which is like painting 4 rooms .we had to clear furnishing out prep room and paint twice because he wanted a dark brown over white walls he then had a blue room with the same probleum loaded with furnite that made the work alot slower, Before we started any work I instructed the member that i did not think we could complete what he wanted in 16 hours his responce was do what you can, at around 15 hours i let the member know where we we were at with the job i asked if he wanted us to stay to complete the job which it took and additional 11 hours between 4 men and he stated to go ahead. The media room used 5 gallons of paint which cost around 175 my price so I cant understand how he can price a big media room at 300, a job that size runs easily 750 -900 I think its unfair of this guy to judge my men bad when they worked hard to please a person who thinks he deserved more for what he paid, the member had metioned to me that he had someone quote him 6000 for the amount of work he had shown me and was excited to see a coupon for 500 dollars."

I found Paul on Angie's list. He met us at our house in Dallas where I showed him what we wanted to renovate. The above list shows what he actually did, and as you can see, the list was long.
Paul and his crew are very professional; they all wear white uniforms and don't waste a second once they start their projects.
I was very impressed by how much attention Paul paid to what I was requesting. Somehow, he actually understood what I was trying to describe, and added some suggestions when I felt unsure about some of my projects.
I have never seen anybody perform a task so quickly, yet expertly; Paul was present the entire time the crew was there to doublecheck everything and supervise the job.
For the first time in my life, I handed over my house key to somebody I had just met and spent most of the time out of town during the renovations . We communicated via cell phone, text messages, email, and exchanged pictures via the Internet. I periodically flew to Dallas to look at the renovations, and I can honestly say that every thing I requested was done exquisitely well! There is very little that Paul and his crew can't do, and his reputation is such that he is surrounded by people who are really quite skilled.
I will never ask anybody else to perform some task, or renovation to our house. Whenever I did commute to Dallas and look at the progress I felt like a child in a candy store! We have a new house!
Last but not least, I must say that Paul is an artist, and a great one!
Paul: Thank you,thank you, thank you! You are the best!

We were getting our home ready to put on the market and received 4-5 bids. Paul provided a very detailed and fair estimate. His crew was very professional and it was evident that he ran a tight ship. When I would point things out that needed to be fixed, Paul was very happy to oblige. We had in mind a certain paint color, but know that we were going to be putting our home on the market, Paul offered his advice on what would show better. The entire job took about 5 days and we were very happy with the outcome. Our real estate agent also loved the work done by Paul and his team. Not only would I use Paul's services again, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a painter. The only criticism I had is that our calls weren't always returned when we had questions, but I was always able to talk to Paul when work was being done.

"i sent this guy several emails trying to see if he would be there at his recidence because he was traveling, he never answered my messages. Its hard to keep appointments if the customer does not keep in touch which he contacted me 2-3 weeks prior.Out of courtesy i tried to confirm not once but twice with no responce, I took it that he was no longer interested."
