BILL SMITH HOME REPAIRS

He completed a very thorough pressure wash and then sanded each board. This was necessary as a previous contractor had left very uneven stains which in some places looked like paint. After some difficulty selecting the stain color, Mr. Smith gave it two full coats by brush, not sprayer. Even though the work was delayed somewhat by rainy weather, overall his work was very satisfactory.

The company responded initially very quickly to my call for an estimate. They gave a decent estimate, and were retained for the work. The siding took at least two weeks for the order that was made at a place in Macon that carried the vinyl siding that we wanted. It took much longer to get the siding in, and as I recall, the order was not made when I was told it would be made. Then, each time I called this firm who would do the installation, if I got a response, it took many tries to get them to respond and then there was an excuse as to why the siding was not in yet. I later found out that the order had not been placed when I was told. So, once the work got started, they did not secure a channel of siding between two windows (I just found this out recently), and they left pieces of the vinyl siding all over the back patio, nails all over the place, and a general mess near and around the back patio. In short, my dogs could have stepped on these jagged pieces and badly hurt themselves. I am still finding nails. So, while the work was done, somewhat "OK" they were not timely in many ways, and did not clean up their own mess.

I bought the floor and he installed it for me. He's sanding them often and did a really nice job painting them. It was laminate flooring that he installed. He is a real nice guy. He showed up everyday. He worked Saturdays and Sundays to get it done. I think his price was reasonable. He started last spring and he power washed my house and resealed it with a water seal, redid all the porch railings, repaired some faucet and flashes and he charged me $3000 which I thought for what he did was quite reasonable. Then he subcontracted with a plumber and a tile guy and redid the bathroom. They put in a tile shower with a bench, did all subway tile and they took out the shower, turned the old shower into a linen closet and put a tile floor and the subway tile and that came in $10000 and it's beautiful. Then what he did was just worked this way through the house and he laid the floor and did the cabinets. I probably spent may be $20000 on the house in the past years. I would imagine he had $10000 out of it. For what was done I think the price was reasonable. The quality is very good. He was very responsive. He was here everyday he said he would be here. He was very professional until we kind of like got to be friends and then he was just a real nice guy. I would use him in the future. In fact I have another floor for him to be done.
