Unless Al is involved, I wouldn't waste your time calling these people much less waste your money having them do sub-par work. I have seen Al Carroll doing work in the neighborhood for years. The work he did looked great. When we were getting ready to sell our home, I called Carroll Services to see about getting some rotted wood replaced. Al's wife was the one I spoke with. She and her son came out to do the quote. I asked where Al was and was told he was on an extended vacation. They looked everything over and gave me a quote. I agreed and set a date to do the work. I purchased all the materials, and another one of her sons showed up to do the work. He worked all day getting very little done. It was like it was his first time doing any sort of work like this. I kept noticing things they had originally agreed to do that weren't done. When I asked about them, I was told that it would be extra because those things weren't on the original agreement. They replaced some of the rotted wood, painted it, but did not caulk it. I finally told them to finish up, pack up their things and leave. I finished the rest of the work myself in 1/2 the time it took them to do one small area. It's my fault that I didn't get everything down in writing and for paying them when the work was 3/4 done. My major mistake! Be warned of these people! Without Al, it's just an amateur hour where the only thing humorous is their quality of work and prices!
Description of Work: Replace rotted fascia board and recaulk / paint other areas on the outside of the home.

Excellent!!
Description of Work: Al gave us an estimate to paint the enclosed back porch to match the rest of the exterior of the house. He arrived as he said and went straight to work. He carefully taped off the screens and removed the door hardware. He was finished at about 5pm and it looks fantastic!

Al is a consummate professional. It was interesting watching him paint. I do color consulting and have been curious on how to do some painting techniques. He explained and showed me how to do them. However, I will just recommend him to do the job. I did some practice but he's much better at it then me!
Description of Work: I met Al while shopping at Home Depot and called him for an estimate on some interior and exterior painting. We got an estimate and we felt it was reasonable. He arrived and the living, dining, family, kitchen, and games rooms. We also had him paint the outside of the house. He was excellent! We live in Cinco Ranch and heard he does a lot of work in the Pin Oak subdivision. We have recommended him to several of our neighbors. We plan on having him paint our newly installed enclosed back porch.

We live in Katy TX. I know many people in Pin Oak subdivision use Al including our home owners association when they have work to be done: like put a new sign up for the subdivison. Al repaired many, many fences for people after the hurricane.Al does great work. I think he prefers working in the Katy area. You won't go wrong with Al. The cost box above is limiting because we have spent 300 to 2500 for the work Al does.
Description of Work: 2004 Painted exterior of house and replaced siding on garage Through the years I've used Al Carroll for many small jobs: refinish baseboard and repaint; replace window pane; cut down tree limbs brushing against roof and replace roof tiles; paint rooms inside the house; replace broken doors inside house and repainting them; Al put some kind of substance in the sidewalk cracks to keep grass from growning between them--home association sends warnings about this SO it was great after he did this. Presently the roof in leaking inside so he is going to replace and fix the roof leaks; repair the damage to wood inside the house and repaint. He is very honest and works hard.
