Touch-up paint on all the walls in the house; painted all walls in master bedroom, stairway, one living room wall, laundry room, and downstairs bathroom; patched walls, applied wood filler, painted entry closet, all base boards, and remove a small vinyl border above the master bedroom door. Later asked to come install a new blind, adjust a kitchen sink weight, assemble and install banister, and repair a front door lock.
D S Painting completed touch up paint jobs and a few maintenance items around our home as we prepared for new tenants and came back out to assist with items the tenants asked us to assist with after their move-in. We provided all of the paint and some supplies. Reasonable painting prices and quality contracting work. Paint job looks great. Recommended only necessaries to us--no frills, which I appreciated. Very satisfied with painting/caulking/wood filling. The work was completed within just a few weeks of our first contact despite the time of year--during the heavy military PCS season. We were not as satisfied with the handyman aspect of his business--the tenants mentioned that the contractor sent to do minor things "didn't know what he was doing." Eek! That said, the job got done in a timely manner. I am not physically in North Carolina and much of my communication with this company is via email. The owner, David Sasser, is very pleasant, but he does not read my emails thoroughly and/or respond to them as quickly as I expect. He does answer the phone quickly, but asks that I email him too. There is a lot to be desired by way of clear communication. I feel compelled to repeat things and resend emails and details over the course of our interactions together to ensure things get done. I trust that he has a good eye and will make any necessary repairs, but like any contractor in this area it is really hard to find someone that really follows through with directions and is inherently thorough. For instance, he had to send his contractor out again to remove the vinyl border that was supposed to be removed prior to tenant move-in because I was charged for it, but it had not yet been completed. He accepts cash, check or credit. We paid via check and it made it easy to do business despite the distance. Although this is not a "fire-and-forget" contractor, D S Painting completes the work quickly, and I will work with this business again in the future if my tenants have any issues that require a licensed/insured contractor and/or in between tenants.
