"The main thing I wanted done was to have my new home painted before I moved in. I also had several other odd jobs on my detailed "to do" list. The estimated it would take him 4 whole days. (I also had another company come out to give an estimate and they estimated the same time frame, so it was not an unreasonable one). The first day of the job, the showed up over an hour late and I finally called the company to see what was going on, only to find out he had been sent on another "small job" that morning. Keep in mind, I was supposed to have four 8 hour days (aka Specials) and I was just sitting there waiting and missing time from work. I went over my detailed list with him and left him to do the work. I did not come during the other days because I had to work and he had a key. On the last day, I stopped by the house at lunch to take a part the would need. He proceeded to tell me how much he hated to paint and how he couldn't see well. Needless to say, I was pretty shocked he was telling me this. He stated when he applied for the company, they asked if there was anything he didn't want to do and he said "painting." Given that the primary job here was painting, I asked why they sent him out and he said because they recently had to fire the guy who did the painting. The work was extremely slow and of poor quality. The paint job was absolutely terrible- paint on the ceiling, floors, baseboards, huge streak , etc. I chose this company because of the high ratings here on Angie's and could not believe what happened. I called the office extremely upset and was very apologetic. I emailed her pictures of the work, because I wanted her to see what I was talking about. She agreed that the work was of poor quality and stated they would send out a different to fix the work. Now, at this point, the 1st was there almost four days and pretty much only got the painting done, not the other "to do's." I had several other things planned (carpet cleaning, house cleaning) to take place after the was done, but before I moved in and had to reschedule all of this.
The 2nd that was sent out was wonderful ( ). I felt bad for him since he was having to fix another person's mistake. Come to find out he only works for them part time. It took him another 4 days to fix the painting job and also complete the "to do" items. I had to buy 2 extra gallons of paint because several areas had to basically be completely repainted (company reimbursed me for this). This was very efficient and got things done in a timely and professional manner. If only he had come out to begin with, it would have been a totally different experience.
I give the company credit for fixing the problem. However, it was a lot of stress, time wasted and frustration involved. They should have just told me they didn't currently employ someone who could complete the paint part of the job rather than sending out a sub-par who readily stated he couldn't see well! A four day job ended up taking twice that, resulting in having to reschedule other service providers and I postponed my move by a week since there was no way everything would be done in time. They gave me a discount for "pain and suffering." Would not recommend the company for painting jobs."

" is very prompt and courteous, and came to my house on time to give me a very detailed estimate of the work I needed to have done. My house was beginning to look shabby because the painted wood was peeling, cracking, and growing mold. I hadn't even noticed that part of the wood siding needed repair - it had begun to rot where it met the porch roof, and he saw this right away. He also noticed that my porch railing was loose, and warned me that a guest could fall off and get hurt. He seemed genuinely invested in doing a good job for me. He assured me that when he was finished, I would feel proud of my house when I drove home at the end of the day, and he was right! The other painter I had contacted for an estimate (similar quote) did not mention the porch railing or rotten siding, and might have simply painted over these problems. worked hard, even in this 's heat, and is a very positive person, a real pleasure to be around. He did everything on his estimate, and then went beyond the call of duty, and did MORE work than he wrote into the estimate: He sanded the porch floor so well that I could have chosen to stain and seal it rather than repaint! He put a primer coat on the porch floor as a gift to me, even though I told him I would paint the porch floor myself (to save money). He painted the church that I keep on the porch, just because he knew it would look better that way. He pressure washed my front steps all the way out to the street. His crew pressure washed my brick patio - I've never seen it look so nice. He even - get this - got out some gold paint and a little brush and carefully repainted my house numbers !!! And at the end of every day, he cleaned up his work, never leaving any kind of mess. I have owned homes since 1978, and have several rental houses, so I have hired plenty of painters, workmen, and handymen in my time. What sets apart is the real pride he takes in his work. He worked on my home as if it was his own. It was important to him that I be happy, and I am. Like he predicted, when I pull up in front of my house at the end of the day, I feel proud of my house! It's the prettiest one on the street now."

"He did the framing and the relocation of the electrical and plumbing for the appliance hookup for our laundry room. He put up sheetrock and finished it. He did all the work except for the actual plumbing of the toilet. He installed the toilet, sink and shower. He also did all the electrical work. He was very professional. We have used him again."

"This guy is impressive. He turns up on time, takes pride in his work, and has very reasonable rates. He also cleans up after himself and didn't charge me extra for going to get materials. He charges by the job, rather than by the hour, which I like. He has an impressive list of skills and really knows what he's doing. He's pretty much the best handyman I've ever used (in many decades on this planet). I'm just sorry I'm moving to another state and won't have him around to fix things."

"Paid for representative to give an estimate for screening porch and painting trim was told they work by the hour and would give an estimate of hours which they assured me was always very accurate. Work was shoddy and unfinished and took approx three times the length they had agreed. Franchise owner eventually sent another who was excellent and finished job and repaired torn screens from the other worker. The trouble with this company is that if you don't know the actual you want, you can be sent anyone regardless of their experience and have to hope they will be up to the job. After much discussion we agreed on a set price for the work but it was meant to be completed in under a week - it was not a large porch but due to bad workmanship from first took a month to be finished which is a ridiculous time to take to screen a small porch and paint trim. I will never work again with a company which does not give a firm price upfront for the work to be done."

"The entire process was very formal from contact for the quote to delivery of the invoice. Every step has specific times set and when the quote was accepted, a project manager was assigned to my job. The materials were delivered on time and the repairs were completed in one day, even though the work ended up to be more extensive than estimated."

"He arrived at my home with a pen and paper. He did not measure the area where I wanted the gate and he did not call back with an estimate. Needless to say, I won't call him again."
A
"They are reliable, clean, on-time, responsible, and extremely respectful. All of their employees speak english so communication is always possible. They do everything I need done in my home."

"I would refer him to anyone. He works with pride and does high quality work. He is very versatile and can do many kinds of jobs. We have always been please with his work."

"When the man came to try to pry the one air conditioner out, he couldn't even get it out, so he didn't charge us for that visit. He came back the next day with another helper and they got everything taken care of very satisfactorily."
