Garry is thorough in his work. He had good suggestions which was very helpful. Before painting anything, he washed the areas thoroughly and let them dry. He was pleasant to work with and was prompt and professional. Garry knows his craft.
Description of Work: Paint front door and door trim. Paint front window trim. Before painting he had to repair some of the areas. Sand down rust from a small portion of metal garage door and then paint that area.

If you are a perfectionist and want a job done that will exceed your expectations, hire Garry Stidham! I recently purchased a 40 year old home in Haile in need of much exterior repair. Garry repaired the deck, fence, screened porch and finally all of the rotten wood on the home itself. He was very knowledgeable with regard to materials and paint needed to restore my home to its former glory. Most of the rotten trim and fascia was replaced with Hardie Board which was cut to laser precision. Rotten lap siding was replaced with new pressure treated wood, which he primed before being installed on the home! No one else would go that extra step! After extensive preparation, the home was painted. I cannot explain how happy I am with the final painted results of my home. His abilities with a paint brush on the edges, trim, windows and doors are nothing less than perfection. I could go on and on, but simply stated, Garry will be the only person I will have working on my home.

I hired Garry to repair and paint the exterior of my home last year, and I was so impressed with his work that I called on him again this year to do a smaller carpentry/ paint job inside my home. He responded to my call in his usual prompt and professional manner, provided a very reasonable estimate, and returned to do the job at a time that would accommodate my scheduling needs. His work is FLAWLESS. He carries out meticulous preparatory set-up, taking special care to protect my property, and he does a thorough clean-up afterward, leaving my home actually in better condition than he found it. In completing the project he devotes careful attention to every aspect of the job, as well as offering practical suggestions for future upkeep/maintenance that are extremely helpful. It is quite apparent by his total attention to detail that he loves and takes great pride in his work—and rightfully so. His work is absolutely FLAWLESS. He will definitely be my first call for any future carpentry/painting needs or anything else related to the upkeep and maintenance of my home. I feel extreme lucky to have found such a skilled and professional craftsman — a total joy to work with! He deserve 5+++++ points!
Description of Work: Repaired, caulked, and painted a water-damaged kitchen window. Removed/treated mold spot from skylight. Plugged nail hole. Painted kitchen baseboard. Touched up damaged interior paint (flat and trim) throughout home.

Gary came to the rescue in a closet disaster. One of the closet rod supports had broken and pulled out of the wall in the main bedroom, threatening to dump the entre closet’s contents on the floor. The only place available to put the closet contents was on my beed which was needed for sleeping. Gary quickly made emergency repairs to hold the rod up for the weekend and was here bright and early Monday with the materials to make the fix permanent. I am confident that the rod supports will never give way again. His carpentry skills and painting skills are excellent. The finished product always looks very good and the manages to do any job without creating a mess. He cleans up what little dust and debris he makes and always leaves everything better than he found them.
Description of Work: Fixed a 80" closet rod with a broken support painted where unfinished lumber was used for repair.

It is always a pleasure having Garry work on our house! He just helped with a front porch redo by painting the door, trim and touch up. As always, he did an excellent job, and he was very conscientious in his work. He painted our home eight years ago and was able to fix the massive peeling paint and rotten wood issues. I know that peeling paint issues are tricky and he removed at least half the paint on a few areas around the home. Over the years he has also pressure washed a few times and soft washed the roof. He stands by his work, providing a 10 year warranty on the paint job and uses premium materials and provided excellent preparation. We have had no trouble with the paint. I would certainly recommend Garry if you are looking for excellent work.

Garry did very well and was transparent and communicative about the whole process. As is the nature of repairs like this, a lot of damage cannot be identified from the ground during the estimate process; the damage is only seen once the job has already begun. Garry was very faithful to notify me and ask my approval when he judged that repairs other than those in the estimate were appropriate, and he modified the quote after these extra repairs were authorized. Garry was considerate about my timing and about occasional other situations at the house while he worked. Regarding the billing, Garry showed receipts of all his material costs and charged no markup on material. All labor was billed at the same prices as offered in the estimate, and I was allowed plenty of time to verify that we agreed on the price before the final payment (which was after the job, he did not ask any money up front). Garry's immediate prices are not the cheapest in town, and he will say this to you up front, but he performed everything in a way to maximize the longevity of the repairs, saving money and hassle in the long run. All in all, I had a good experience with Garry and would hire him again.
Description of Work: Most of the work was replacing and repainting exterior wood (mostly facia, frieze board and other trim, and window frame boards). All of the painting and replacing was preceded by pressure washing. Most, if not all, of the caulking of the windows and facia was redone. My French door sets were also repainted. A mold remediation treatment was applied to one of the most severely rotted boards - water running behind the exterior wall can cause more than just damage to the exterior; the mold can eventually even work its way indoors from the initial damage, if not treated. For price details, I paid about $9800 for the whole work. About $1200 for materials - for which no markup was charged - and the remaining amount for labor. The materials included about 40 boards, mostly 2x4 boards of various lengths; as well as 4 gallons of paint, 2 tubes of caulking, and a few other small hardware bits. The job took about 3 business weeks to complete: Monday-Friday or Saturday during roughly 8 AM-5 PM.

Perfect! Garry painted the inside of my house in 2013. The paint price was a little high, but Garry said it will be worth it. He was soooo right! My walls have been, and continue to be, able to be wiped clean. I still did not need my walls touched up. He touched up my baseboards. They had some areas where paint had been chipped off by the vacuum hitting the baseboards, and 3 grandsons’ cars and trucks running into the baseboards. Garry estimated the time to a tea. No surprises:) Garry is coming back this month to do some exterior painting. He is very busy, so book early. He’s definitely worth the wait and competitively priced. Thank you, Garry!

Gary did an excellent job. Price was reasonable, he prepped everything and protected surrounding areas, primed and painted, added new hardware, cleaned up. Everything looks great. Would definitely recommend and will use him again for future projects. He did not require any payment until the job was completed to my satisfaction.

Performed the work flawlessly and meticulously - carpentry, caulking, painting, etc over a 5-day period.

Garry painted the entire exterior of our home 5 years ago. We were so impressed with his conscientiousness & work ethic we hired him again to pressure wash & recaulk some areas that were cracking & to seal some areas near the foundation. He works with the home owner to accomplish what they ask for & does not over sell. He shares his experience about which of the best products (paint, caulk, etc) to use that will last. His communication is excellent. I would definitely recommend Garry. I wish I could clone him for plumbing, irrigation, HVAC, and electrical repairs.

The overall results were excellent. The drywall was split and battered from a previous tub remodeling contractor. Garry is thorough and methodical and the results show this. I had two new fiberglass exterior doors installed that Garry spray painted. The finish is so perfect it looks like it arrived from the factory that way. He also installed molding to compensate for the difference in width between the old doors' threshold and the new ones. That was done expertly too. I would recommend Garry to anyone that cares about their home.The overall results were excellent. The drywall was split and battered from a previous tub remodeling contractor.

This is our second time calling on Garry and like the first time, he’s absolutely AMAZING! He’s the epitome of professionalism in every sense of the word! We especially appreciate when Garry pressure washes, that he doesn't just automatically apply full-blast water pressure in all situations (as someone less experienced might) instead relying on bleach to clean the surface first and then using something less than full water pressure to finish the clean and rinsing. His method definitely reduces the potential for property damage. Garry is also very nice to deal with and very knowledgeable about many things, and for all these reasons we’ll definitely be calling on him again!

Garry is amazing! He did an excellent job with our interior painting. He uses high quality products for his project, and they are totally worth it. The pricing is also fair given the time and effort he put into his work. He was meticulous and transparent the whole time. His attention to details was above and beyond my expectation. He also did a great job with several tasks that came up during the project, such as painting wall plates, power washing, and caulking. I highly recommend Garry to anyone who is looking for a professional and trustworthy contractor.

Garry is amazing. No, really, period. This is a precision painter - his attention to detail is total, and the resulting job is absolutely impeccable. Never found a drip, never saw a stray brushmark. He really knows his trade, has the right equipment, spends oodles of time on prep, and does a completely professional job. He also is a very nice guy who is very easy to deal with - sticks to his estimate no matter what happens and is very open and honest. Very cognizant of your privacy, and very concerned with your property and things. Garry gave us a middle of the pack estimate, but when I saw the job, I felt a bit guilty - he should probably be making much more given the quality of the work. When dealing with Garry, you don't get some anonymous every changing crew showing up - you get Garry, and he is the real deal. Strongly recommend this guy, and I don't do that very often.

Clean, seal, replace and paint seriously water damage soffit area on the right side corner of my front entrance. He attacked the serious water leakage issue with vengeance and sealed it completely, before replacing all outside damage wood and painting beautifully to maintain the integrity of the wood going forward. This was a process, identifying the source of water leakage and sealing it securely from further leakage.

GS Painting is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST contractor I have ever hired in all my 50 years of home ownership! The company owner, Garry, not only demonstrated the highest standards of punctuality, knowledge, and skill, but he also exhibited a strong commitment to excellence in his meticulous attention to detail and his sheer talent in both carpentry and painting. He was extremely pleasant to work with, and he kept me informed about the work and his progress throughout every phase of the project. At 80 years of age I especially appreciated his respect for my precautions about the Covid pandemic, patiently honoring my request for communication through emails and texts in order to avoid face-to-face contact (when that would have obviously been an easier path for him to take). He went far beyond what most workers might have done in facing a 25-year-old home with multiple examples of untended wear-and-tear, each of which he diligently studied, identified the root cause, formulated a workable plan for correcting it, and accomplished a finished product that totally returned my home to its true market value. I simply cannot say enough positive comments about Garry’s workmanship to capture how pleased I am with the final result of his work. By all means I would not only hire him again but I would deliberately seek him out to do any job needed — my trust level in his skill is that great. Garry is a true craftsman who takes tremendous pride in his work. I am grateful to Angie’s List for connecting me with this dedicated and talented contractor. He is a definite asset to your service!

Garry is a real professional. The job was immaculate - clean sharp lines, accurate masking, no drips or paintovers anywhere. Garry was great to work with - he worked a lot of nights and weekends when he learned we would be returning unexpectedly from a vacation - and had the place ready for us. Very nice guy to deal with, professional job, I would recommend him to anyone.

Garry does great work. The most important aspect is that he does all of the work himself. If you want a crew to come in and knock out the project in a day or two he is not for you. On the other hand all of the work is done by an expert and not a trainee crew member with no stake in the outcome. Garry is meticulous and deliberate and will not let things slip just to finish. Good communication, easy to get along with, no drama. I would hire him again tomorrow. He even painted the exterior spigot handles.
