I've used Christian several times and his painting, wood working, and repairs have always been top notch and done at a very reasonable, competitive price. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again next time I need work done.
I called and set up an appointment for him to come on Saturday, 10/19/13 at 8:00 a.m. to take a look at the job. I gave a description over the phone of the project. He did not show up. So I called at 10:00 a.m. and left a message wondering what happened. He called back at 11:00 a.m. and said his schedule got messed up on his computer. So I rescheduled for him to come on Tuesday, 10/22/13 at 9:00 a.m. He did come and check out the job. His service was listed as, "$99 for one room of interior painting." But the catch was, it's extra for trim and ceiling. I wasn't happy about that, but at that point I was desperate to have it done before Thanksgiving. So it was going to cost me $125 more plus I had to buy the paint he instructed me to get.
He scheduled to start the job on Wednesday, 11/13/13 at 8:00 a.m. No show. I waited for him to call, then I finally called him and left a message. He called back later in the day and his excuse was he had to take his nephew to the hospital or something, I really don't remember exactly. But he said he would be here the next morning, 11/14/13 at 9:30 a.m. He did arrive on 11/14/13 a little early with a helper and 6 1/2 hours later they were done. He stood me up twice, but the finished product was really good.
On the day of the appointment, I got a call from Chris at 8 am saying he was about a half-hour out. There had been a bit of confusion about whether I was supposed to buy the paint or whether he would, so I did not have it. He asked me for the name/address of a local paint store and he went to pick up my paint (I had a sample I was able to give him so there was no confusion) with no hassle at all. (I had to go to work but he told me just to leave the sample outside my front door and he would take care of it.) Chris came by himself and spent the day painting. (My babysitter was home and told me he was right on time, and she was also totally comfortable with him in the house.) I was going from a darker color to a lighter one, and Chris had a great eye for how many coats were required to make the walls look great. He had estimated I would only need a gallon of paint (it's a small room) but he ultimately decided a second one was necessary - I looked at the walls and completely agreed with him. We might have been able to get away with one but 2 coats was definitely the right call. He went right back to the paint store to get more and came back and finished the job.
This happened to be on Halloween day and I have young kids - once they were home from school there was definitely a lot of activity and commotion in the house, but Chris was great - it didn't bother him at all and he was pleasant and friendly.
Ultimately, we were thrilled with the job Chris did. He was right on time, was very flexible about getting the paint, had a great eye, was easy and pleasant to have in the house, and the room looks wonderful. I will absolutely use Chris again in the future.
The only suggestion I would have is that Chris do a phone call a day or two before the appointment to confirm. I had some confusion about whether I was supposed to buy the paint and sent him an email a day or two before the appointment to ask but did not get a reply. Had I heard from him I could have cleared that up and had the paint ready to go. (It also could have potentially been an issue as I wanted to have a color match done from a Restoration Hardware paint color, and there was a chance that the paint store might not have had the right color number to do it - had that happened I would not have been able to get the paint without more of a hassle, so again, it would have been good to be able to pin that down with Chris a fews days in advance.) While not hearing from him disturbed me a bit before the appointment, Chris was so prompt on the day of the appointment and did such a great job and was so flexible about getting the paint for me that it ended up being only a minor point that didn't impact the job at all. This was a GREAT deal - for the room and the chair rail and 2 gallons of paint it only cost me about $175 dollars - yet it looks as good as rooms I've had painted for a lot higher cost. This deal was well worth it.
They put up the border I had provided. They measured so that it was done right. I'm VERY HAPPY!!!
I have had difficulty scheduling this company. He scheduled with me for yesterday and no showed and did not answer my calls.
We have also agreed on a price to paint my garage (drywall repair also) and some patch up work on the outside. His price was 1/3 of a quoted price from another "A" rated company on Angie's list that has done work for me before. I will not be using the other company again and will be using Christian for any and all painting needs.
I actually called Christian to confirm the details before I purchased the deal and ended up leaving him a voicemail. He called me back a little later that same day and we ended up talking about several painting projects that we needed done. Christian asked me to go to his website to fill out my information and the different projects that I needed quotes for. The form on the site was very easy to fill out. Christian emailed me the quotes a day or two later, I told him what I would like done and he called me the next day to schedule it.
We agreed on the17th at 8AM and Christian showed up right on time. My wife was out of town for business and she wanted me to ask Christian if he could add some texture to one of the walls in the room with a sponge that she had found. It wasn't part of the initial quote, so I told Christian that I would pay him extra and he didn't charge me. He communicated everything that he was going to do and even checked with me before he started with the sponge to make sure he was doing it correctly.
I work from home and I didn't hear a peep from Christian the entire time he was here. He cleaned everything up and put the room back the way it was when he arrived. This is exactly what my wife and I look for in the professionals that we hire. We only had Christian do one of the projects that he quoted us, but I told him before he left that he would be hearing from us again when we decide to take them on.
