"The painters did excellent work. The dormer was properly caulked and the fresh paint looks beautiful."

"Charles and his crew did a great job for us. Both the staff in our home, the folks we dealt with on phone, Brian & Rick were all professional and polite. Charles and the men he worked with here were on time, careful of our property, and professional in all they did. We would definitely hire Power House Painting again."

"All around great guy, texted him with short notice and got right back to me. He did amazing work and got it done even before he said it would be done. I would definitely recommend him for your painting needs. Great work"

We contacted Bob Preast, CertaPro via Angie's List. We contacted several other companies also but selected Certa Pro , first of all, because of Mr. Preast's professionalism and knowledge of the business. He thoroughly and clearly explained the process, the paints, the staffing, the timing etc. He was the last company we met with and we were impressed with his efficiency in providing a clear, itemized, well-written estimate.  He also offered help in color selection and was easy to communicate with and available to answer our questions.

When the painting began, there was always a supervisor around to monitor the work. The workers were friendly and hard working. There was a problem obtaining the paint they needed (Mostly our fault since we were late in making a decision, also due to the fact that it was a holiday weekend and Fall when demand was high ) but, this problem was invisible to us because behind the scenes, they went to stores all over Tidewater to find the paint.  They finished the job in two days when we expected about three. 

The quality of the job is awesome. No mistakes in sight. A beautiful job. We are delighted. We will contact him in the future for additional paint jobs.

"Excellent job painting a challenging house with vaulted ceilings, close attention to detail on trim. Darryl and his crew are easy to work with and friendly. I’d definitely hire them again!"

"He done almost all of our home, he has done an amazing job. We have already recommended his services to our friends and colleagues."

"Great job. Showed up on time and cleaned well."

"The good:
- The people were friendly for the most part
- They did good work in some ways
- Their subcontractors did good work
- They gave us a quartz counter top "for free" for our desk
- They did a couple extra things without charging us
- Everything looks good (if you don't look too closely)
The bad:
- I did not like the communication in the beginning, but I hoped, based on the reviews they got, that they would do a good job. I was disappointed with a lot of things - see below.
- I had to prepare my own detailed cost estimate (based on their difficult to understand e-mails) and get them to let me know if my estimate was correct or not. They would only give me a lump sum price and very little detail on what I was getting.
- They seemed to have never worked with the Cabinet Factory before. It was almost impossible to get any information about the cabinets we bought prior to signing a contract. Neither Get It Done (GID) or the Cabinet Factory wanted to talk to us about them. In the beginning I asked for no fiberboard and ended up with lots of fiberboard. Also, GID apparently does not know what fiberboard is - they were trying to tell me the kick-boards were not fiberboard (they are). The cabinets seem pretty low quality although at the time I was told by the Cabinet Factory that the cabinets I was getting were good quality and approaching the cost of the high end cabinets. One of the sliders in the pantry broke right away because there was too much weight. I never had this problem with my previous cabinets.
- They used wax crayon as paint in many locations on the cabinets. This is bad because it is not intended as paint, it is sticky, and wipes off easily.
- They told me it would be $100 more per fixture (about $1000) for LED under cabinet lighting. I still don't understand why they say it costs that much more. The lights they installed get very hot.
- There was very little attention to detail. They were going to stop the peninsula cabinets about 6 inches short of the end of the floor tile. It would have looked really silly - fortunately, I caught it in time and got them to adjust it.
- They put two joints in my crown molding about 12 inches apart and did a poor job with the joints. It looks very bad.
- The painting of the walls was bad. They missed lots of areas and they wanted me to mark all the areas they missed for them.
- They did not plan out the closet desk and shelves well at all. I told them I wanted a shelf for a TV, and they gave me shelves that weren't wide enough. Then they rigged it to work after lots of discussion.
