He did fine and works by himself. It took him a week to do the job. He was very quiet and was nice. He did his job, was there on time and left when he said he was going to leave. I will probably try to get him back again to do the rest of the house. His price came out about $1,000 less than another company.
Description of Work: I used Glenn Forrest for painting of all of my bottom floor downstairs and the hall upstairs.

Glenn power washed the house and deck one day and then came back when the weather was good for staining the deck. Getting several days in a row without rain was tricky in the spring so it took a little while to find a good time to stain. Understanding that you have to be fit into his schedule and also mother nature's is important to remember. He is polite, punctual, and does nice work. We will call him in the future with around the house needs that are bigger than we are ready to tackle.

.It went okay, esp. since we had already purchased some of the paint, and it was a brand of paint that is difficult to work with (I know; I painted one room with it). Be sure to be very clear with your directions. I wasn't, so he removed some grab bars I didn't want him to remove. Fortunately, he was able to get them back, but he did not get them level when he put them back on the wall, so I had to take them off and redo them. I would get him for other painting, unless it was something I was super-particular about and was willing to pay a lot of money for the job. He was careful to move and cover furniture, carpet, etc.

He was very professional, treated our home with respect and did an amazing job. Two of the four rooms downstairs had lots of woodwork, and he was very careful with his prep. He also painted the ceiling in our living room, which had an old water stain on it, and it looks beautiful. We'd definitely hire him again.

Glenn was punctual and worked steadily. He did things I hadn't asked him to do like spray painting the handrails on front porch which he noticed were getting rusty in spots. His attention to detail in the prep work was just what was needed in this older home. I will use him again and would recommend him.

We had some mismatched paint on some parts of our ceiling and contacted Glenn, based on the reviews on Angies List, to get the entire first floor ceiling repainted. We had informed Glenn that we were looking to get it done ASAP as we would be hosting a gathering at our house. Glenn was able to fit us in quickly. He was extremely prompt and finished the job within both the time and cost estimate - even completing an additional small area that was not part of the original estimate. We were very satisfied with the quality of his work.

Glenn explained he had outside work already on his schedule that would need to take priority whenever the weather cooperated. We said that we were in no hurry and did not care if he did our small job in more than one session (it ended up being two). He came over the first time in just a day or so and did the hallway and one wall that turned out to need some drywall repair that required time to dry. After that, it took about a week for us to get our schedules synced again. He always called in advance. He came Sunday, mid-morning, and was finished with the rest of the job by 3pm, just as he said he would be. He repainted one wall at no extra charge, where I'd discovered some flashing. The job looks good and we plan to have him back for the bedrooms, as he is available and as we figure out what colors we want. His clothes were well-decorated by paint, but he was great about not getting paint on our stuff. I could tell he smokes, but he did not do so in or around our house, nor did he ask to do so. He is very quiet. Didn't even use a radio while we were there. Plus, he's a nice guy and easy to work with.
Description of Work: Moved heavy furniture. Did minor drywall repair. Applied two coats of paint (already purchased by homeowner) to entryway, hallway, and small living room w/ one elevated wall.

This was Glen's second job in our home this month. He did the estimate for this job when he finished his last job in our home. Once again he provided a verbal cost estimate for the work. The actual amount charged after work completion was 15% less than the amount of the estimate. He required no deposit to get on the schedule and started the job about 2 weeks after the completion of the last job. He worked it start to finish and completed the job in 4 days. On average he started each morning at 8:30 and finished up each day by 3:30. He removed all his equipment from the house at the end of each day. All furniture moved for paining was returned to its original place. He was again extremely neat and meticulous with his work and provided very high quality workmanship. The outdoor painting was an increase in scope from the original estimate and he still came in 15% under budget. Once again I would recommend Glen for any job big or small. He will be coming back to our home for some more outdoor painting later this summer and some indoor work next winter. He really makes it look easy and is very reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Painted inside the house: ceilings and walls in the hallway upstairs and down, the front room, the living room and the upstairs bath. Painted outside the house: front porch and garage vent structure. In the upstairs bath removed, replaced and re-mudded degraded drywall tape above the shower enclosure prior to repainting the walls. All areas included spot priming, repairing nail pops and nail holes, applying a single coat on ceilings, and single or double coats on walls as necessary. The price included labor and materials excluding paint.

Glen came for an in-home estimate within 24 hours of contact. He provided a verbal estimate, which was the exact amount charged at the end of the job. We asked him if he could wait to start after the completion of the roof replacement and he said that would be no problem. He required no deposit to get on the schedule and started the job the week after the roofing was complete, worked it start to finish and completed the job in 3 days. He started each morning at 8:30 and finished up each day by 3:30. He removed all his equipment from the house at the end of each day. All furniture moved for paining was returned to its original place. He was extremely neat and meticulous with his work and provided very high quality workmanship. He was also very flexible with changes and scope changes. I would recommend Glen for any job big or small. He is a friendly easy-going guy that makes it look easy and is very reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Painted the Master Suite BR, bath and walk-in closet and the spare BR including ceilings and walls.

Glen was recommended by one of my neighbors. He came and provided a bid for his services. I provided the paint. After painting with the paint I purchased neither of us were satisfied with the results. He then recommended that he purchase the paint and repaint. We agreed on a price and time. He completed the job as promised at the price stated. My only comment is to allow Glen to purchase the paint and include it in his bid. This is what I will do the next time I use his services.

Called this contractor to give me an estimate on and exterior paint job. Came out and looked at the job. Asked him to call me back with an estimate and service date, but never did. Waited two weeks, but no follow up. Cant comment on the quality of his work because he apparently does not need to work.

Glenn was great to work with. He gave us a very competitive bid to perform the work and was able to start right away. This was a big plus for us. He was punctual, and professional and pleasant to have around the house, he works quietly and consistently. Glen went the extra mile to match up the paint color for the ceiling repairs to the existing color so that repainting the entire ceiling was not necessary. He did a beautiful job and I would certainly hire him for any future painting projects.
Description of Work: Glenn painted the walls and trim in our master bedroom, bathroom & laundry room. He also repaired/repainted stained ceilings in our garage, bedroom and family room.

Glen was on time for the estimate, which is a huge step up compared to many contractors I have used. He was punctual in showing up to do the work. He performed the work exactly as he said he would for the exact price and completed it on time. By his own admission he left a little more mess than usual due to his shop-vac blowing out but it was very minimal. His work was good quality. I would definitely recommend using him.

The upper two-thirds of the room's walls were wallpapered for 15+ years with a dark green on bottom. We had already moved the office furniture to the middle of the room. Glen put protective covering on the furniture and wood floor. He bagged the wallpaper as he removed it. Glen cleaned the walls after removing all the wallpaper, repaired stress cracks and holes where pictures had hung and made sure they were sanded smooth. He then put primer on all the walls followed by two coats of paint and caulked around the windows, closet and floor boards. Glen is so quiet in his work we sometimes forget he is here. He does marvelous work.
