Needed some painting and fixing up with our house on the market. Ray was extremely helpful, professional, and able to assist on short notice. After hearing the urgency of our issue, Ray committed to helping us within 24 hrs and we couldn't be happier. Ray even cleaned when he was done and our place was ready for showing as soon as he pulled away from our place! Ray was great and I can highly recommend his team for any work needed around the house. In the event that we need any future house work done, we will be sure to reach out to 1st Choice Painting & Decorating.

Ray was at my house in less than an hour. He was considerate and professional. I will definitely hire him again for other things around my house. But hopefully nothing else gets flushed! :-)
Description of Work: My commode was not flushing properly. Turns out, my little one tried to flush a deodorant stick.

Ray came at the time he said. Had all his tool and ready to work. When we caught a slight problem with the fan he came right back out and fixed it so it doesn't shake any more. He is very thorough to make sure it is done properly. Then we noticed some electrical issues in the attic. He got that working for me as well. Will definitely call again.
Description of Work: Electrical work and a new motor installed in my attic fan.

this is about the Water heater install. Ray said he'd be here 8:30 a. and he was on time. He and his helper removed the old heater, and some of the pipes and such. The new heater was brought in and then they replaced what needed replacing to fit the new heater. They checked all the joints and vents to make sure everything was working correctly, including going to each faucet in the house to check the flow of water and temperature. He then showed me how to adjust the water temperature if I was so inclined. the small mess resulting for their work was cleaned up, too. My husband was a plumber and did these types of upgrades, and I feel Ray did just as fine of a job. I will definitely have him back to do other work. :)

Ray did an amazing job! Everything was done in a timely fashion. Very clean and professional. And after the final walk through there was not one touch up needed. I have tried saving money in the past using Craigslist and I have learned my lesson. If you want quality work then you must hire a qualified professional. Great job and thanks again!!

Ray came to my house on 9/11/09 for an estimate on some interior painting. He gave me a very fair price and a couple days later I called him to accept his offer and to schedule a time for the work to be performed. We set a date for Saturday 10/3/09 and I was to call him the day before, Friday 10/2/09, to confirm the time he would arrive to do the work as well as give him my color choice. Friday came and I left him 2 voice mails, and a 3rd voice mail on Saturday, the day the work was supposed to be done. I never heard from him and he made no attempt to contact me. Much like the other poor review he has on here from another customer, if we have a scheduled date to perform the work, and if for some reason Ray did not get my messages, why is he not at the very least trying to contact me? I do not have a lot of free weekends this time of year so needless to say my time was wasted and it left me very annoyed.
Description of Work: All I received was an estimate for interior painting.

After excepting his estimate and setting a date to begin work. I went on vacation, while I was gone, Ray called and asked me to call him as soon as I returned to give him the paint color information. I called him four times and my husband called him several times, he never returned our calls. The start date for the project has come and gone, and he still has not returned our calls.
Description of Work: Ray, the owner and painter, came to my home and gave a very fair estimate. The estimate was doing all of the following; painting the living room ceiling, walls, hallway ceiling, kitchen ceiling, repairing the wooden base of the bay window in the living room. Also removing and hanging new light fixtures in the living room, kitchen, and hallway.

This turned out to be a great experience. The price was right and the work was excellent. When they were done you would not even know they were there except for some good looking walls.
Description of Work: I had three estimates and Ray's was the lowest of all, I was leery of using him because of the lower price. My next door neighbor used Ray and recommended him, she is pretty fussy so I thought I would give it a try. I had my family room and kitchen painted, the family room has a pretty high ceiling. They moved furniture that needed to be moved.

Ray came right over after we called. We were a bit frantic and in a huge rush due to getting ready to list and he scheduled the work right away and knew exactly what to do to fix the walls. He worked with us as we added more painting on the fly and was able to come the very next day to complete it. All of the painting was done so quickly and looks wonderful. Our Realtor was very impressed! Ray is very accommodating and extremely pleasant to work with. He believes in customer satisfaction and also has great people working with him. If we weren't moving we would have had him back for a bathroom remodel and much more.
Description of Work: We removed wallpaper from our kitchen, getting ready to sell and it was very stubborn wallpaper causing us to leave large parts of drywall exposed. Ray had someone skim coat the walls and then painted, also painted laundry room, large master, hall, and other area.
