Member Comments: They are a delight to work with. They are thorough, attention to detail, punctual, clean up before and after, very professional, and do a great job of prep work and painting. Kept us informed prior to of any and all schedule changes due to rain and what seemed like a monsoon May. They do an excellent prep job and point out any issues they notice in advance. Their prep team noticed my roof was beginning to have leak issues and took the time to talk to us about it. They are respectful of our scheduling and moving our cars in and out of driveway since I have two teenagers, there is lots of car moving. I have two large dogs and they let me know in advance if dogs might be inconvenienced by painting schedule. Gary's painter saved me from making a costly mistake when she looked at my initial color choice by pointing out that the color was not going to be at all what I thought in the bright sun as her experience with color made her aware of the strong blue tint that I thought was gray. I would have made a serious mistake had she not gone back to the paint store and selected the colors she could tell from our conversation I wanted to end up with. Which were perfect, exactly what I had envisioned. They do great work from beginning to end. I cannot recommend them enough. Company Response: Thank you so much for an awesome review. It was a pleasure working with them as well. They treated us very well and were always open to suggestions to improve their home. They are a very nice family. Thank you for letting us "Make Your Home Smile Again!!

We had our exterior windows cleaned. Member Comments: Our experience was very favorable: First of all, the crew was accommodating to my schedule. They were scheduled to start Monday, but that was the first day of school for our kids, so they agreed to start Tuesday morning. They were to finish on Saturday, but that was my daughter's birthday - so they were able to finish on Friday afternoon by arriving early a few mornings and working a little longer than normal for some days. They communicated with me anytime there were any questions on the project. If I noticed any missed areas after they left each day, they quickly addressed and corrected the following day. Any "major repairs" are extra and they talked with me throughout the project if this was a possibility (these were very minor additional expenses on our project).Every day the crew was VERY professional - I could not have asked for a better group of guys to be at my house for a week. They were polite, considerate and enjoyable to have in the house. I look forward to having my basement painted just to have them back - that's how great they were! All the hardware that is removed from the walls is left off for the homeowner to put back on after the project - so I kept things together by room to make it easier for me. I did not have any damage to my items from paint splatter or their work. I will say it's a messy project (with sanding some areas as needed) -so I did have to do a lot of cleaning afterwards but that should be expected. We added the exterior painting of the front door and the area around it during the week, but they were still able to complete the project on a timely manner. I've never hired a painter before, but I was overall pleased with this project. One point I would make is if you want your closets painted in a room, make sure you communicate it and that it is on your proposal. That was one miscommunication we had but we were able to address it and move forward during the project. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ Work Completed Date: April 21, 2011 Hire Again: Yes Approximate Cost: $1,555.00 Description of Work: Fresh Colors Painting powder washed stained and repaired our deck. Member Comments: They were here last spring. They were really particular about how they did things. It took a long time to get the work done. It was more than a month from the time they came out to do the estimate until it was finally done but a lot of that was weather related because it was outside. Some people would have gone ahead and done it but Gary wouldn't. Every time it rained he insisted that it had to dry for a couple of days after it rained before he would do anything or put any stain on it. It rained almost every day or every other day for a good month and to try to find three consecutive days when it wasn't raining was next to impossible. It just took forever to get it done. It would be almost dry enough to do it and it would rain again but it eventually did get down. They took up a couple of boards from the old deck that were worked and replaced those. They stained those before they put them down and they also rebuilt a bench that that become very worked with age. It looks beautiful. They screwed down a couple of loose boards so that it could hold better because the original deck had been nailed. They did a really nice job and it looks really nice. Once the weather dried enough they really did the work. They didn't just spray stain it they were on their hands and knees painting it with the brush. They really did a good job. We got them originally through a living social coupon and I think they were reasonable for the amount of work they did. It was frustrating at times but it wasn't their fault. They did know what they were doing. __________________________________________________________________________ Work Completed Date: September 01, 2011 Hire Again: Yes Approximate Cost: $2,000.00 Description of Work: They painted the outside of my house and washed my windows.
