From a pricing perspective, their quote was on the low end of the estimates we received, but taking into account the speed with which they worked, their hourly rate is higher than mine and my spouse combined.

She came out to our house to look at the job. I knew she was coming from far away so my husband and I were concerned that the drive was too far. However, she assured it wasn't and said \"she would just charge a little more.\" While she was there, she gave us good advice on what needed to be done and said it would take 2 days, maybe three and gave us price based on that. However, when we started to ask her about a contract or anything, she seemed to get a bit defensive. We indicated to her that we needed something more than a \"handshake\" and that we would feel more comfortable with a something in writing. We also asked if she had insurance and she said yes, but if we wanted a copy of her insurance certificate, she would have to contact her insurance company, or give us the number for us to contact them. We drew up something informal for a contract and she signed it as well as me. I sent her on her way with a $100.00 check for a deposit on materials, big mistake. We wanted to continue to do our due dilligence and get another vendor to bid the job. They came back with a higher cost and told us it would take 3 days for two people to do the job. This concerned us because we weren't sure how one person could the job in three days, moving things, taking things off the walls, etc. When I called her with my questions and concerns, she became very defensive and just rude. I couldn't believe her unprofessionalism. She told me that she would send the check back to me because she just didn't need this. She said she has never had anyone do this to her before and that I just needed to trust her. I told her that I was just trying to address my concerns. I then asked her how much materials were going to cost and she said about 100 - 125.00. I asked how much a gallon of paint was and she couldn't tell me. In the end, I put a stop payment on the check because I just didn't want to work with someone who had no professionalism whatsoever. There was just something that did not sit right with her. The fact that she could not provide any references should have been a clue that something wasn't right. Anyway, I learned a valuable lesson in that never give someone money until they actually show up for the job and never trust someone who doesn't have a proposal! If I were you, I would stay clear of this woman."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/nh/claremont/susan-fletcher-interiors-reviews-6194927.htm"},"position":4}]}

"We hired Cody to do some wallboard repair and to replace 4 interior Luan doors with 4 standard Masonite slabs in existing pre-hung door frames. The wall repair came out great, but the doors turned out to be well beyond his skill level. A carpenter friend had measured and delivered the doors to us, but he became too busy to do the work so we hired Cody. Surprisingly Cody claimed the standard doors were 1/8â too wide and too tall, and that both the width and height had to be trimmed. We questioned him but trusted his â expertiseâ and relented. He wound up cutting off so much of the width and height that we are left with visible gaps between the doors and the jambs. And because the barrel of the doorknobs did not reach the strike plates, he "fixed" his mistake by â doubled upâ two strike plates on each door so three catch - the fourth still doesn't. In short, he ruined $400 worth of doors, which have to be replaced â and installed â by a competent contractor. Cody refuses to discuss a solution, claiming that he warned us that trimming the doors would be problematic, and blaming us for telling him to cut the doors â all of which we vigorously deny. He was the one who suggested the â fix,â and we trusted he knew what he was doing. It wasnâ t until he was finished that we saw the horrific mistakes and that his workmanship was abysmal. Weâ ve never written a bad review but cannot recommend Bartonâ s Perfection if you need carpentry work. His work was far from â perfection.â"

"Very disappointed, it quickly became clear that this person had very little experience with contract work or even good business practices. I felt like I was providing advice on how to run a business, and he wasn't able to make any recommendations about the project. The final straw was the posts he put in weren't secure or safe. I had to spend more money to find someone that would take over and finish the project and redo what had been done. I will say he was polite, and even admitted to being in over his head on a basic deck."

Painting questions, answered by experts
Yes, with some primers, you can prime and paint on the same day. It depends on how long your primer takes to fully dry. Some can dry within an hour while others may take a fully 24 hours.
Painting a wall involves multiple steps. First, clean and sand the wall to prepare the surface, then tape off any areas where you don't want paint to go. Next, shake or stir the paint in the can, then pour it into a tray.
Dip a paintbrush into the paint can so that half of the bristles are coated. Use the brush to cut in or make a frame around the edges of the wall. Then, roll the paint roller in the tray, ensuring that it is evenly covered in paint. Roll the paint onto the wall in an "M" or "W" formation, making sure the paint is applied evenly.
An exterior paint job lasts an average of 5 to 10 years, although some might only last 2 or 3 years and others up to 20 years. How often you need to paint your home’s exterior depends on various factors. The type and quality of the paint, the application quality, the surface material, and local weather conditions all play a part in the paint’s longevity.
Yes, professionals often provide smooth finishing and priming for painting.
If your already-painted walls have glossy paint, scuff the surface with 220-grit sandpaper or its equivalent before applying primer and paint. For all other paint sheen finishes, clean the walls and repair any spots that need it. Remember to protect the places that you don't intend to paint.
