  Affordable Measures Home Improvements

  In the beginning all went well. Until spring came and it appears contractor desired quick jobs. Kept putting our completion off until he refused to return calls. We now have an uncompleted home remodel, no shed and no deck.

  J.P.R. Painting, LLC

  I chose J.P.R. Painting, LLC because of the great reviews I read on several sites plus the A rating on this site. The first two qualities to consider when hiring someone to work on your home are Skill and Integrity. Mr. John Robertson (owner) was to meet me at 9:00 a.m. on March 9 for a quote to pressure wash and paint the aluminum siding on my garage, one entry door and one window. Mrs. Robertson (Office Manager) called shortly before 9:00 and said her husband had gotten lost and was on his way back to the office but she could come by after work or, since she was looking at my property on Google Earth at that moment and could see the garage, she could work up a quote from there if that was okay. I gave her the measurements of the garage from the plat survey and she emailed a quote that same evening. On March 10 I emailed back accepting the quote. I chose the paint color on March 11 and that same day Mrs. Robertson scheduled the work for Monday, March 26 and welcomed me to the JPR Family. Unfortunately the weather took a bad turn. It got colder and it snowed toward the end of March so I asked to have the work rescheduled. Mrs. Robertson said no problem. She would keep a close eye on the weather and if I was okay with short notice she would call or email the day before they came out. That was on March 24. I didn't hear from them again until they both came to the house on April 4 and after walking around my garage Mr. Robertson said there was no way he was going to paint this garage. Not for the price quoted ($100.00 to pressure wash and $825.00 to paint for a subtotal of $925.00 minus a discount of $200.00 they were offering on their Facebook page for all exterior paint jobs under $999. They were offering a discount of $300 for jobs over $1000. I wasn't aware of the discount until it was applied to the quote which brought the total price down to $725.00). Mr. Robertson said he would only be making a profit of $250.00 after expenses. There was no way he was going to do it for that amount. I told him this wouldn't look good on his Angie's List review and he said he didn't know why I was giving him "Attitude". He asked me "would you do it for $250?". I didn't answer him then but yes Mr. Robertson. If I had given my word I would have done the honorable thing which would have been to stand behind your quote. According to my plat map the garage measures 31.5 feet x 21 feet. The garage door is being replaced so it didn't need to be painted and wasn't included in the quote. There is a regular entry door in front beside the garage door. That was to be painted white but Mrs. Robertson said they always had white paint left over so there was no charge for the paint for that. The trim around that door would be painted black. Beside that door, also in front, is a large window. The trim around that window was to be painted white. All other trim around the garage was to be the same color as the garage was being painted. The garage has a window on each end and another along the back. All trim on these windows was to be same as the siding nothing extra. The bottom part of the back is cinderblock with a wooden door and the bottom part of one side of the garage is cinderblock with a large window into a cellar that the back wooden door leads into. None of this was to be painted, only the aluminum siding part so that area was not part of the quote. The quote was only for "Pressure washing and exterior painting of the garage. The garage paint will be chosen if quote accepted. Door and window to be painted white and trim around door to be painted black. The quote does include all paint and supplies". Eliminating the garage door and the three windows from the aluminum area to be painted it seemed like a fair quote to me for both of us. If the work on my garage had been done and done well I had planned to hire him to paint the interior of my house as well as a wooden fence along the property line next fall. I don't think, in the long run, he would have lost any money. I would have paid the bill in full and not in monthly payments as the quote offered. But, after saying again he didn't know why he was getting this "Attitude" he told his wife to "come on". Mrs. Robertson leaned over and whispered "Sorry" to me before following him to their car and leaving. I was really stunned by this turn of events as I had two very pleasant telephone conversations and many email communications with Mrs. Robertson and had really already decided I wanted to hire this company after my first conversation with her even before the quote was given. Mr. Robertson never offered another quote so I have no idea how much he would have done the job for. This was truly a very bad experience.

  Corey provided a quality quotation. I had to wait about 2 months for the work to begin. Precisely at the appointed hour a good crew showed and got to work. It took three days to complete and the result is excellent. I can only recommend these guys. They did a professional job on time with no fuss.

  Travis and sidekick Jay were a Godsend! They accomplished all of this and more in 2 days, while carrying on good-natured bantering the whole time. I asked a lot of them, but heard no complaints as they cheerfully got it done, during extremely hot, humid weather. These guys are amazing, and can do anything!

  Salem Painting came out to my home as promised and gathered dimensions and facts in order to go back to the office and then write an estimate. The estimate was to be sent to me but to date I have not been contacted. Several phone calls and messages and not yielded any positive results and it has been several weeks.

  Hot Shot Pressure Washing Inc

  They've done the first step but we had so much rain, I don't know if we'll be able to get around to the second step. I had a couple of different people come up for quotes and it was obvious to me that this guy knew what he was doing. He also was local and has done a lot of work locally; he has done work for those small scale hospitals and that sort of thing. I just felt immediately confident that he was going to do a good job. The price was more than we had gotten from other quotes but I think, realistically, he's on the money with that.

  They did a fantastic job. I would tell people to give them a call if they want quality work. They are very conscientious, and they do exactly what they say they will. The price was very good for what they did.

  SALEM PAINTING

  The job was done quickly and the workmanship was very good, The crew was professional, pleasant and accommodating. The finished job looks good and I am pleased. The only negative comment was a small mess left in a bathroom sink from cleaning a paint brush - but I am sure that they would have corrected that if I had bothered to call.

  Repair work is very good and is invisible. Job was done quickly to get ahead of expected holiday company.  I have used them before and have always been happy with the results. They even returned to take care of a spot missed behind a large shrub after I paid the contract.

  Bone-Dry Construction and waterproofing inc

  We were very anxious about the floor. It took a lot of preparation of the floor as they used some new products. They communicated well with us. They did exactly what we asked. They did meticulous work especially on the preparation. They hired a tile guy to put down some tile. They fixed up a couple of windows and also hung a door. They put in a new stud wall and did some painting too. It was really a full service contractor job but they do specialize in basement renovation. They put in a new drain to take care of some leakage under a door. They were very versatile and courteous. They were good communicators. It was good to have them around the house. They did everything we asked them to. They just finished half a week ago. Their price was very competitive. We talked to three different people and they were the best priced. They stayed with the punctuality. They came late in the day sometimes, early afternoon at times because I guess they had a couple of jobs going. Overall they finished on schedule.
