All three time we had excellent response for estimates and punctuality. Price was reasonable and consistent, however not the cheapest estimate out there. When the job was finished, we were asked to review, and it was incumbent on us to find all the touch up points, which considering what we found, we thought professionally many should have been the responsibility of the painters. There was some issue with the paint peeling from an outside door after the fact (a couple of weeks) which upon contact the issue was remedied very quickly and without question.
Description of Work: We have had M&E paint interiors twice and exterior once. Interior included a 2-story hallway and stairwell, and a vaulted ceiling. We also had doors and banister spindles painted. 2nd time was bed/bathroom. Exterior included a two story home (siding and trim). The listed date/cost is ONLY FOR THE EXTERIOR SERVICE!!!

Quick on providing quote and ansering questions. Work was subcontracted to crew, who did not do a good job, caused some damage, and was inconsistent when they showed up. When they first showed up - they also didn't have any paint - losing half the day getting paint. Since it was a subcontracted crew, I was disappointed M&E did not have a company representative inspect the work when completed. After notification to the company, the company did respond quickly to my issues and appropriately rectified them with a more professional individual. They also informed me they are no longer using the crew involved. In general, I would give them a "D" on having a bad crew and not inspecting the work in the first place, an "A" on correcting the problem quickly and appropriately. "B" on pricing. "C" on scheduling. Overall score C+. If not for the crew, I would give M&E a solid "B".

The estimate was great, as the guy came and talked it all over with us, answered questions, was professional, and left with an absolute maximum quote on the spot. They came and powerwashed, even though they weren't sure that they would get the painting done before winter hit. We did get it done, and just in time. They also came and did full prep, including pounding in the nails and caulking them, removing shutters and cleaning them, etc. The day they sprayed we were in the house, and they made sure we could get in and out of the house as we needed. They undersprayed in a few places, but marked them and came back and fixed them up. Overall, very good work. 2 things that weren't as good - communication and cleanup. On communication, the workers didn't speak great English, so when I needed answers I usually had to call the boss. Also, something was lost from the quote to the work and replacing rotted boards was a bit of an issue. On cleanup, they apparently poured out water in the yard and it left paint on the grass for almost 6 months.

Their estimate was highest among the quotes we received, but we choose M&E because of their reputation and based on a recommendation from a friend. It had been three years since the original stain was applied and heavy oxidation was visible along the West side of the house so we went with a stain with more solid pigment in it in order to give better coverage - the estimator said that was a good idea and one coat would be enough. The power washing was a joke. They stood on the ground (this is a very high house) and spayed the water wand at the facia - barely getting it wet and certainly not power washing (in the end that didn't seem to matter as the stain seems to be holding up well, but I attribute that to the high quality Cabot stain we used). When one coat was not sufficient, we asked for a second coat. We were willing to pay for the extra time and material, but the estimator blamed us for not insisting on a second coat when he provided the estimate. The problem was, he said one would be enough and we had no idea a second coat would be needed until we saw it didn't cover evenly. Considering his years of experience, he should have know this from the start. The crew was young and didn't always show up on time. However, they were very very polite. The job took 2 days longer than anticipated because of both the extra coat and the time the estimator spent arguing with us (through his crew- not directly) about who's fault it was that a second coat was needed. Frankly, it was silly for him to even start the argument because I didn't mind the extra costs, but he seemed to be pretty upset and put his crew in a tough spot because he wouldn't talk directly to us. I understand that it threw his week off and delayed his next job and I would have been fine with him telling us he would come back in a few days to do the second coat, but he didn't offer. Also, the painters spilled their stain bucket into the rock boarder right outside our back door which, of course, badly stained the rocks. The supervisor (according to the painters, the estimator was their supervisor) never showed back up at the job so as I was doing the final acceptance inspection, I had to instructed them to get a shovel and swap those rocks with some that were along the back of the yard - they were just going to leave this 5 ft. diameter stain in my decorative rocks! During the inspection I pointed out some of their other trash they needed to I picked up before leaving (paint can lids, tape, candy wrappers, energy drink cans, etc.) - they got about half of it and I picked up the rest later that night. I see they have a good overall rating, but I was not impressed. I've had four houses painted by pros over the years and don't think I would put this crew in that category. All that being said - the trim looks good and has held up well over the winter. Although they were the highest bid, I think the price was okay. Also, and this is not insignificant, he didn't charge us the full extra labor costs for the second coat - only part of the labor and all of the material. That is a plus on his part, but didn't make up for the overall experience.

Thank you for your feedback and honest opinion. Reviews like this are how we can best grow and improve as a company. You are 100% correct about the estimator/supervisor needing to be in contact with you directly and not communicate through the painting crew. We have made some large changes to our communication and feel that this issue has been fixed since your experience. The crew absolutely should have cleaned up after themselves and there is no excuse for leaving a giant pile of stained rocks in place, especially not after you were able to communicate where they were to go. We are very pleased to hear that the end result was to your satisfaction and would welcome any opportunity to continue to serve you regarding this project. Since your job was completed in 2011 we have made some very large changes to how M&E Painting operates and the values our company lives by on a daily basis. We would love the opportunity to earn your business back on your next project. Thank you again for your honest feedback and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you in the future.

The whole process went smoothly and well, beginning with the estimate. The people in this business respect their customers and treat them well. If you hire them during a busy season, you may have to be patient to get scheduled as they tend to be quite busy when the weather is good for exterior work.

The color match was perfect and the service was completed on time with the exception of a 1 day delay because the paint was not mixed from the match when they said it would be and the job took several days because of weather. There was substantial touch up that needed to be done to bring the job to my standards. A few of our trees, shrubs and concrete was not covered sufficiently and thus was sprayed with paint. They did a good job of removing things on the fence that were not to be painted and putting those back in place. I found some trash (tape, plastic) on the property after the job was complete. When they came to power wash (outside contractor), the power washer left blue chalk substance all over our flagstone which was not cleaned up. when this was relayed to the Company there was no follow up. Company did not offer verbally 2% discount for paying ahead of time and when questioned about it at a later date, did not offer the 2%. (This was in very small writing at the bottom of the bid but should have been offered verbally.) For the price, there is probably a company out there that would do the same quality job for less.

We had a hard time deciding on what colors to paint it and we bought several samples from Sherwin Williams to see how it looked. The sales rep was helpful and made several useful suggestions. We are very happy with the results though. It looks good and the crew did a great job. We had them put two coats on, it cost about $700 more but it changed our warranty from 4 years to 7years. Our home is about 2,800 sq. ft. and is two story. It took the crew two days to do the job. M&E might be a little more expensive but I would prefer to spend a little more and have the job done right. Especially for a job that is as important and expensive as this.
Description of Work: M&E Painted the exterior of my home. There was a couple of places where the wood was starting to rot so I had them replace 2 pieces of siding and a board on a corner.

We had a little bit of problems setting up the date to have the work done due to rain. I was a little worried about using a transparent stain and so they offered to do a small section of the deck first, 3' x 3', so I could see how it would look. I didn't like the looks of it but that wasn't their fault. The stain I had chosen was a standard color so they could return it and I picked out another color but this one was opaque. They warned me first though that this color was not standard and would not be returnable but I went with it any way. So while one went to get the paint, the other two had to sit around since there was nothing they could do until the new color showed up. The new paint showed up with only a short delay and they were able to get the deck stained in a pretty short time period. At first I wasn't very happy with the color, it looked almost like it had a pink tint to it but after a couple of hours and it had dried it looked very good, a brownish, adobe color. All the time, the painters were very cooperative and none of them complained after I changed my mind about the colors.

My deck is fairly old and had been stained a few times in the past by previous owner. The crew did a small section with the color I had chosen to show me how it would look. I didn't like it and chose another color. Since the first color was a standard color, I wasn't charged for the stain. The crew was very helpful about letting me choose another color and didn't put any kind of pressure on me to make a quick decision. They offered to leave the color swatches with me so I could think about it overnight and come back later but I didn't want to wait and chose a color then. The team leader then had to go back to their supplier and buy the stain and bring it back to my house. It obviously slowed them down but they never complained and were very friendly. The deck looked very nice after the stain had dried. There was a little bit of problem scheduling but it wasn't really their fault, the weather was not cooperating much with the rain. My biggest complaint would be that the person who came to power wash the deck 3 days before hand didn't do that good of a job, ok but not great. The team that stained the deck also spilled a little cleaner or something on my lawn and now I have a dead spot about 9 inches in diameter. It will probably recover with time though.
