Jack's Ever Green Painting

We had a handyman do some work for us and the texturing job was atrocious, so we called Jack's Evergreen as they had done some work for us previously to come in and repair the work. Mike Bloom came out and did a fantastic job, removing the botched job (we made it more difficult as we had painted the walls already), and matching the existing texture. We are grateful to Mike.

It was great. I had to buy my own paint. I remembered I had to pay about $40 extra and that's about it. I think they were extra attentive and went over the top in terms of cleaning and taking care of the place and even noticing that the outside of my house really needed to be repainted.

Everything was okay. They were okay. I had to call several times to get the response and they responded and they assigned a person to do the work and I think they worked longer than what I expected for the job. The price is medium-high.

Our designer recommended another painter but I felt strongly that I wanted to get my own competitive price so I searched Angie's List and found Jack's Evergreen Painting. Our salesman Mike was excellent to work with. He was prompt and was able to leave a detailed, written quote for the work before he left (it took the other company a week - but it was over the holidays). After final colors were chosen we decided to go with Jack's and they had painters onsite within a few days. Mike was our point of contact throughout the process. He was flexible and fairly priced some changes we made (changed from flat to eggshell after some paint was already purchased, added several closet interiors, repaired some base molding). We even had the entire garage painted. It's hard to say how much cheaper Jack's was because they included more in their bid than the other guys (like the backside of all 20 closet doors). Our final price of $18,000 I thought was very fair considering we used 10 colors and the sheer amount of the millwork that was painted. All the workers were expert painters and were always hard at work - even on the weekends. They masked off everything properly. They removed all the doors, stripped the hardware, carefully sanded and then sprayed them. The doors all look great - front and back. The masking work done to protect the wood finish from paint at the stairwell was quite impressive. All the trim was sanded and prepped prior to spraying. Next was ceilings and then walls. Some of the ceilings are 18' up and have light fixtures in the way but they worked around all of this without a problem. They patched and textured holes as needed and cleaned up as they went. At the end of the project they completely cleaned up everything and even vacuumed the carpets. I thought that everyone on the team was focused, ethical and had our best interests at heart. The final product is nothing short of spectacular. No surprises, no compromises - just professional painters delivering a quality job in a timely manner for a competitive price. The general manger and owner visited a couple times to ensure everything was going well; but ultimately it was our salesman Mike that kept the job running so smoothly. He and his team did such a great job that I gave them each a well deserved tip when they were done. Great Job! I highly recommend Jack's Evergreen Painting. I plan on using them again when I have the exterior of the house painted.

Did a great job, cleaned up afterwards, super friendly, etc

I paid more than the big deal, because I used more hours than on the big deal. They are good but they are slow. He could have done the work quicker. They were charging per hour, and he took the whole day to do just one bedroom. I asked him how long it would take to do one bedroom, and they said it would take 3 hours per bedroom, but they took 6 hours to do one, and then a half day to do the other one. I don't know about the quality of work, because the wall got cracked after a few days.

I called Jacks Ever Green Painting and received a call back the same day. They were able to come the next day (which was actually Christmas Eve) where Andrey provided the bid. I was tempted to "bid shop" but once I told the quote to a few friends they said it was a great price. I called to accept the bid & surprisingly they were able to start work in just a few days. The crew that showed up - Ramos and Primo- both seemed super nice and got right to work. During the beginning of the job I was alerted by Andrey that the crew was concerned that the paint purchased was not matching the color swatch card I had picked. I went right over to the house- and fully agreed that the color did not look right. After placing a call to Andrey and expressing my concern he said they would fix the issue and purchased new paint. Everything looks great now and I was so surprised by how much work 2 guys knocked out in 1 1/2 days! While money is very tight because we just purchased our house, I feel this was money very well spent. I even had them bid to finish painting our downstairs.

Mike was awesome!!! He showed up a few minutes early and worked very hard throughout the day. He repaired about ten holes in our drywall that had been cut to remove/replace plumbing. He cleaned up and was very thorough in making sure that any possible lead paint dust was accounted for.

Andrey was professional and punctual. He and his crew came, set up shop quickly, splashed up the demo paint, and proceeded to knock out the painting in the time quoted. Left the house clean and beautiful. All came out perfect. Would recommend to anyone.

Stripped bathroom wallpaper & painted ceiling & walls. Jack gave a bid & his guys came out & did the work. They were perfectionist, courteous and I plan to have them return.

I hired Jack to paint the interior of my house, in anticipation of selling it. He knew this; he met the realtor that I was interviewing and later referenced her desire to have the interior painted. After hiring Jack, here is a summary of the experience I had with him and his workers: * On the first day of painting, Jack?s foreman asked me to turn the thermostat up to 68 degrees. Then, he and his workers: - Left doors and windows open for long periods of time, e.g. one to two hours. I have sensors on all my doors and windows, so I know exactly how long each was left open. Maybe the windows needed to be open for ventilation. In that case, why ask me to turn up the heat? - Left a window fully open overnight. When I called the foreman to say that a sensor was indicating this, he denied that anything had been left open and suggested the sensor was faulty. The next morning, I was the first one in the house, and I confirmed that a window had been left wide open all night. * My electric bill went up $40 for the period during which Jack painted my house (see above), even though the house remained empty during that time. * Jack?s crew damaged a folding, closet door in my house, and Jack refused point-blank to take responsibility for it. Jack blamed it on ?the cold? and said I?d been keeping my thermostat too low. That?s funny, because the house had been at that temperature for two months. Two days before Jack started, the movers had opened and closed that same folding door many times; I witnessed it myself and so did others. The day before the painting started, I used that door, so I know that it was fine. But when Jack?s workers got there, the cold suddenly broke the door. * Jack blamed me for any miscommunication because I insisted on discussing issues via e-mail instead of via phone calls. However, Jack didn?t seem to have an issue when I hired him, arranged to get the quote, or arranged the painting date via e-mail. * They left a religious pamphlet in my bathroom (!) * They took down my thermal curtains, which are not inexpensive, wadded them up into a large ball, and put them out in the garage, on top of a dirty kitty litter mat. Prior to that, I had taken down the curtains that I thought would be in their way. If they?d asked, I would have gladly taken down all of them. * They completely turned off water to my house at the main, and then denied it. Only when I pressed the foreman on the issue did he finally admit that someone on his crew had done it. He gave me some far-fetched, nonsensical excuse. * There are drips and mistakes everywhere in the house: window frames, the floor, closet doors, the new thermostat, alarm sensors, you name it. A professional handyman said that some of the drips will require a sander to remove. * When reviewing the work, I pointed to some of the mistakes. When I showed Jack the front door, which had not been painted but had paint marks, his response was, ?You should have had me paint the front door.? Really?!!? When Jack did the quote, I didn?t tell him what needed to be painted. Instead, I left that to his professional judgment. So why wasn?t the front door on the quote, if it should have been painted? It was clear that Jack wouldn?t take responsibility for the poor quote or sloppy work. He fixed a few of the more minor issues we brought up, but he dismissed the rest. * In a similar vein, Jack?s crew didn?t paint any baseboards that had already been painted, even when those baseboards were heavily scuffed and marked. His response was that the quote didn?t cover it. What kind of professional painter thinks it?s OK to paint interior walls, ceilings, trim, etc., but leave marked-up baseboards unpainted? * Before the painting occurred, I was concerned about several issues. I suggested canceling the scheduled painting, so that I could make a detailed list of what I wanted, and Jack could rebid. When Jack balked at that, I asked him for assurance that, ?1) everything will match and 2) everything will look good and professional?. Jack gave me that assurance, with one exception for one spot. However, Jack fulfilled neither, in my opinion. Scuffed up baseboards certainly don?t match freshly-painted ones, and drips and mistakes don?t look professional. * I had to hire someone to come in and fix the job that Jack did. This person, a professional handyman who had worked for us before, was astonished at the poor job that was done on the interior paint. He asked for the company?s name, so that he would be sure to never use or recommend them. * Every time I go into the house, I see something else that Jack and his crew messed up. I see paint where it shouldn?t be, something that was listed on the quote but wasn?t done, and poor, shoddy work. I see my money down the drain, and I see more money that I?m having to pay to get things corrected. It ruins my whole day. Save yourself the heartache and hire someone else. I wish I had.

sheet rock repair. very professional

They were neat, cleaned up after days work. I will have them come back in the Spring to do outside painting!

This is a difficult review to write because it needs to be clearly evaluated on the actual paint job and the subsequent small claims case (that we won) due to damage to a deck table. The paint job itself is good, not excellent but good. Competitive price, punctual crew, completed the job in the stated time (despite a rain day), and overall the house and deck look good. Why the paint job is not being rated as 'excellent' is that the painters left rags and other items such as drop clothes on our roof and in the gutters when the job was done. (We weren't aware of this until one day about 2 weeks after the completion, the drop clothes came flying off the roof and onto the deck, which scared the heck out of us!)...then we went looking for more of them, and found several rags in the gutters. Additionally, some of the deck furniture (remember we have 3) was moved for the paint job, and was never replaced by the crew when the job was done. So, overall, it was a competitive price and the paint work itself is good. The bigger issue was that the crew, accidentally (we assume) damaged a brand new deck table. This was discovered after the crew had left for the day and my wife came home to visually review the work that had been done on the deck that day. We should also comment that despite repeated requests for the crew to cover the table, (which they insisted was not necessary), they did finally cover it. When they covered it, they also placed a heavy Weber grill against it, a portable space heater against it, and several resin deck chairs on top (over the drop cloth). Whether they accidentally damaged or did so intentionally as retaliation for our requests to them to simply cover it, we will never know. We discovered the damage and immediately informed the job foreman who then contacted the owner. The owner said they would initiate an insurance claim. We accepted this comment in good faith, particularly as that is what we would expect with a licensed, bonded and insured company. Issues come up and they get handled. Within a few days, we were notified by the owner that they would not be accepting any responsibility for the damage and that, long and short of it, they didn't do it and then claimed we intentionally damaged our table in order to get it replaced. As stated, this was a new table, but it was scratched within 2 weeks of us using it. At the time the scratch was discovered, we called the store where it was purchased from, and they advised us it is not under any warranty, and gave us some suggestions to avoid such things in the future. However, because the scratch was quite small, we just decided to live with it. The damage that the paint crew caused was of substantially more concern...2 dents and one large gouge that completely lifted off the enamel. This was not something we could accept and live with. We contacted the owner Jack and suffice to say he completely rejected any responsibility. We then sent a letter and check for the balance that we owed him LESS the amount of replacing the table. He rejected this as well, returned the check and letter to us and proceeded to file a small claims court case to be paid the full balance. We went to court in November, with photos, a witness who sat at the table the evening before the paint job began (who testified there was no damage at that time) and in the end, the judge ruled in our favor. We were to pay Evergreen Painting the amount owed LESS the cost of replacing the table top. We ended up with extra costs incurred (i.e court fee, certified mailing fee, producing color photos, our time away from work) all to achieve what we set out to do in the first place 2 months prior. Moreover, had Evergreen Painting just handled it as they said they would initially by filing an insurance claim all this could have been avoided. We learned in court that the cost of the damage was less than his deductible on the policy, but that should not have been our problem. He should have simply agreed that it was an accident and that perhaps his crew either didn't realize they did it or were intentionally not telling him, but there was no way on earth that we would do damage to our own brand new item to manipulate the situation. We have settled the payment with Evergreen Painting, have ordered another table top, and hope to put this unfortunate experience behind us. It was only on the day of our court hearing that we realized that Jack truly believed that we intentionally damaged the table so that it would be replaced by him given the pre-existing minor scratch. There are 2 culprits in this story: 1) the table saleswoman for sharing customer information with Jack without our permission and 2) Jack for inappropriately assuming the worst of of his clients. For this reason, we cannot give a good overall score for the company. We have learned to take photos of EVERYTHING when contractors are in the home and around the home. We would add that we've been remodeling our home since 2012 and have used Angie's list extensively and had very good results. We didn't expect anything less with selecting Evergreen Painting... a company with an A rating...but unfortunately we cannot endorse or give a similar rating.

I used Jack's Ever Green Painting

I thought I had scheduled him to come at 10 a.m., so imagine my surprise when I stepped out to pick up the morning paper at 8:15 and he was driving up! No problem, because I was ready and not going anywhere because of the snow. Must've got our communication wires crossed. He patched a hole in the ceiling, around the ceiling light fixture, and an area in the attic ceiling, and finished everything on time in a professional manner. I was very happy with the service and the price.

Went very well. They were on time and completed all work to satisfaction. Ask for quote for the rest of the house and will continue later n the year.

Patched sheet rock holes/cracks, textured to match existing, then painted. Looks as good as new, very satisfied. Worker was professional and friendly, I would definitely use them again.

Jack's crew did a fantastic job painting the exterior of our home this Fall. The previous painter did an extremely poor job of prepping the house and consequently the paint started to badly peel within a few years of the house being painted. Jack sent a crew led by Andre, who was one of the most professional contractors I've worked with, and they worked for days preparing the house for painting. The workers were professional and very thorough. The house looks great and I can't recommend Jacks highly enough.

Mike the painter worked very efficiently, was neat and tidy, very polite and was able to repair several more areas than I had expected in the four hour time frame. I am very pleased with the work and would definitely use this company again.

The worker was ontime and very professional. If I remember right, his name was Mike. He installed drywall, applied tape and two coats of mud. One was hot mud that dried while he worked in other areas. He worked very hard for four hours. I plan to have them out again.

As someone who has never written a review before, I feel compelled to do so due to the amazing quality, professionalism and customer service I received. My initial meeting where I requested a quote made me cancel my 2nd bid I had scheduled. I have extensive crown molding and millwork throughout my 2900 square foot home. They sanded and painted all millwork, in addition to painting all walls and ceilings throughout. They also removed wallpaper from one room, sanded and painted it. I can't rave enough about their quality of work. Andrey the manager was fantastic about communicating throughout the week he had a team in the house and giving great suggestions. Today was my final walk through and I can't believe how well it all came together!

Juan was prompt, professional and a hard worker. Removed wallpaper in two rooms. Great job. Will use Jack's Ever Green Painting again.

This team exceeded my expectations. The home is beautiful after their professional work. I could not be happier.

Andrey was very responsive when I first contacted him through Angie's list. He came out to assess the project and spent a lot of time answering my questions in detail and offering options. He gave me a very competitive bid and I hired them. When the time came to do the work, his crew was very good, detail oriented and knew their job. Overall it was a very pleasant and smooth experience and I got top notch service.
