Dan Monckton Inc

2 phone calls were required to get an estimate for exterior house painting. After an apology when I had reported that I had gotten their referral from Angie's List. They stated they must've misplaced my first request. Estimator did visit my home, and said I would receive a written estimate in the mail shortly. 2 weeks have passed, and no written estimate has arrived. I have since contacted 2 other paint contractors, have gotten written estimates within this time frame, and have selected one of these last 2 contractors for this work.

Dan was polite, and gave us a reasonable estimate. We decided on another firm who was very slightly cheaper.

THE FIRST BEDROOM - I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. THE GENTLEMAN WAS POLITE AND NICE AND ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. THEY HAD PAINTED IT THE WRONG COLOR AND ONCE THEY DID FIND THAT THE COLOR WAS WRONG (AFTER ONE COAT) THEY CORRECTED THE PAINT, APPLIED A SECOND COAT IN THE RIGHT COLOR AND IT TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL. THEY ALSO WERE GOOD ABOUT ALLOWING A FLOOR REFINISHER TO OVERLAP WITH THEIR WORK. SECOND JOB- NOT AS GREAT. THEY HAD TWO WORKERS COME AND WE FOUND THAT THERE WERE PLACES IN THE ROOM THAT WERE MISSED. THEY SAID THE REASON WAS THE WALLS WERE COLD AND THE PAINT MUST NOT HAVE ADHERED (BECAUSE THE CLOSETS ARE NOT HEATED). THEY DID NOT LET US KNOW THAT THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WOULD AFFECT THE INSIDE APPLICATION OF PAINT. THEY DID COME BACK AND FIX WHAT THEY MISSED. THEY SENT THE GENTLEMAN FROM THE FIRST JOB TO COMPLETE THE MISSED WALLS. HE WAS GOOD ABOUT NOT GETTING PAINT ON THE HARDWARE IN THE ROOM. THE END RESULTS WERE ACCEPTABLE.

Dan showed up right on time for the bid and let me know he wanted the business. At times we had as many as five guys in the house (all before we actually moved in) working on all the rooms. All the guys were friendly, helpful, and professional. After we started, my wife decided to add the family room (with tons of windows and trim) which had not been included in the initial bid. Dan gave a fair price for the extra painting and still finished on time. The price I paid included a 10% Angies list discount. It was a fair price before the discount and with the 10% represented a fantastic value for the work they did. This was not some kids doing paint work on the side. I would not hesitate recommending Dan to any friend or family member.

Maurice, the primary painter on the job, was punctual, professional, friendly, and, most importantly, did an excellent job. The cost was competitive, and the team was very flexible with scheduling around the contractor, electrician, and carpet installers. We used a very bright color scheme, and Dan M. had two walls primed and painted to get our approval before completing the project. The team went out of their way to patch up some of the contractors' mess ups, and really did a great job. We also had multi-colored circles painted on one wall, and they look fantastic. This is an excellent company with which to work. I would use them again.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST POSITIVE EXPERIENCES WE HAVE HAD WITH HOME MAINTENANCE. DAN MONCKTON WAS QUITE HELPFUL IN MEETING OUR TIMETABLE. THE WORK WAS DONE CAREFULLY, EFFICIENTLY, AND TO A HIGH DEGREE OF QUALITY. THE PAINTERS EXHIBITED FLEXIBILITY IN ADAPTING TO DETAILS OF THE JOB AS IT WENT ALONG. TOUCH-UPS WERE COMPLETED COOPERATIVELY. APPROPRIATE ADVICE WAS GIVEN TO HELP US REACH DECISIONS ABOUT CHOICES WE NEEDED TO MAKE. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.

WE HAD THREE OTHER ESTIMATES FOR THE WORK. THIS WAS BY FAR THE LEAST EXPENSIVE. OTHER ESTIMATES WERE TWICE AS HIGH. JOHN CAME OUT TO THE HOUSE TO GIVE US AN ESTIMATE. HE WAS PROFESSIONAL & KNEW HIS STUFF. WE RECEIVED THE ESTIMATE IN A TIMELY MANNER. HE EVEN CALLED BACK A FEW DAYS AFTER WE RECEIVED THE ESTIMATE TO SEE IF WE HAD MADE A DECISION. THE GUYS WHO ACTUALLY DID THE WORK WERE GREAT. IT TOOK 2 DAYS & THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB. YOU WOULD NEVER NOTICE THAT THERE WERE HOLES IN THE CEILINGS. THEY WERE ON TIME & WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY. WE HAD RECEIVED ONE LOWER ESTIMATE FOR THE WORK, HOWEVER I FELT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS COMPANY. WE WILL USE THEM AGAIN.

WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THE ENTIRE PROCESS. DAN JR. CAME OUT FOR THE ESTIMATE. WE RECEIVED THE ESTIMATE THE FOLLOWING DAY, ALONG WITH A PHONE CALL ASKING IF WE HAD ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE ESTIMATE. NICK, AND TONY STARTED PAINTING THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THEY ALWAYS INFORMED US OF WHAT TIME THEY WOULD ARRIVE, AND WHEN THEY WERE LEAVING. DAILY CLEAN-UP WAS GOOD, AND PAINTING WAS EXCELLENT. AFTER THE PAINTING WAS COMPLETED, JOHN INSTALLED THE WALLPAPER BORDER IN 2 ROOMS. HE WAS VERY FAST, AND ACCURATE. WE RAN SHORT OF THE BORDER IN ONE ROOM (MY FAULT), AND JOHN CAME BACK TO FINISH THE ROOM AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO USE THEM AGAIN.

RESPONSIVE, AND QUICK TO SCHEDULE JOB, BUT UNLIKE THE OTHER COMPANIES I READ ABOUT HERE, THEY DID NOT RETURN TO THE JOB SITE TO RETURN THE PLANTERS, ETC. BACK ON THE DECK. ALSO, THEY DID NOT REMOVE SOME SIMPLE STICKERS, OR STAPLES ON THE DECK WOOD PRIOR TO THE STAINING, AND SEALING. THEY WERE THE CHEAPEST PROVIDER (BY OVER $100), SO YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

A VERY GOOD JOB WAS DONE, AND SINCE IT WAS SOMEWHAT SLOW IN THE BUSINESS, THIS HOUSE WAS DONE QUICKLY. GREAT CARE WAS TAKEN IN MATCHING PAINT TO A MAILBOX - AND IT LOOKS VERY NICE. GOOD ATTENTION TO MAKING REPAIRS AND PREPARING SOME PRETTY DILAPIDATED SURFACES. DAN IS AS PICKY AS ANYONE WHEN LOOKING OVER THE FINAL RESULTS AND IDENTIFYING TOUCH-UPS REQUIRED. DAN WAS ALSO VERY HELPFUL IN IDENTIFYING OTHER WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE ON THE HOUSE AND PROVIDED SUGGESTIONS OF PEOPLE TO DO IT (AND, WHEN DIFFICULT TO REACH THEM HELPED FOLLOW-UP). THE CREW WAS PROFESSIONAL, PUNCTUAL, RECEPTIVE TO QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS - VERY PLEASANT TO WORK WITH. DAN, AS WITH ALL THE PROJECTS THE FAMILY HAS COMPLETED WITH HIM (NOW NUMBERING THREE AND COUNTING), IS RESPONSIVE, HELPFUL AND VERY PLEASANT TO WORK WITH. OVERALL A GREAT EXPERIENCE, AGAIN.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. STARTING FROM "DAN" TO HIS SUPERVISOR "JOHN" EVERYBODY WAS VERY COMPETITIVELY PRICED, RIGHT FOR THE JOB, WERE CLEAN. STARTED ON TIME, FINISHED ON TIME. LEFT A COUPLE OF FIXTURES NOT FIXED AND JOHN SAID JOBS WOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE.

AFTER AN INITIAL SCHEDULING SNAFU, DAN TOOK THE TIME TO MEET WITH ME AND PROVIDED A QUOTE IN A PROMPT MANNER. HE ALSO FOLLOWED UP AFTER SENDING THE QUOTE TO SEE IF WE HAD ANY QUESTIONS. HIS PRICING WAS COMPETITIVE BUT WE DECIDED TO GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY. I WOULD DEFINITELY ASK DAN TO QUOTE ON OTHER JOBS WE PLAN TO DO IN THE FUTURE. THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $4,400.

EXCELLENT QUALITY WORK AT REASONABLE COST. THIS WAS A NO HASSLE EXPERIENCE WITH CONTRACTOR DOING ON TIME, ALL THAT WAS PROMISED. DAN WAS VERY RESPONSIVE TO MY CONCERNS, REQUESTS, AND GAVE PERSONAL ATTENTION TO EACH ITEM THAT CAME UP INCLUDING A FINAL INSPECTION.

DAN MOCKTON, JR. WAS ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATE TO OUR APPOINTMENT. NO CALLS TO WARN ME OF HIS TARDINESS. HE ALSO FAILED TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN ESTIMATE, WASTING BOTH MY TIME AND, NO DOUBT, HIS.

DAN (JR) CONSISTENTLY DID WHAT WAS PROMISED. FROM BEING ON TIME TO LOOK AT THE JOB AND GIVE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE WORK, TO BEING DONE WITH THE WORK AS IT HAD BEEN AGREED TO AND FINISHING EXACTLY WHEN HE SAID. ALL OF THIS DONE, BY THE WAY, AT THE (EXTREMELY FAIR) PRICE QUOTED.

I GUESS THEY DO NOT WANT MY REPEAT BUSINESS! I CALLED FOR AN ESTIMATE AND NO ONE EVER SHOWED UP!

VERY PROFESSIONAL. CAME WITHIN 2 DAYS TO GIVE ESTIMATE, AND BEGAN WORK WITHIN ONE WEEK OF MY SIGNING A CONTRACT. WERE VERY THOROUGH, DID A GREAT JOB, AND CLEANED UP AT THE END OF EACH WORKDAY. WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE THEM AGAIN AND/OR RECOMMEND TO SOMEONE ELSE.

FROM HIS FIRST CALL TO THE FINISHED WORK, DAN WAS EXTREMELY COURTEOUS. HE RETURNED MY CALL PROMPTLY, SCHEDULED ME IMMEDIATELY, FOLLOWED UP WITH DAILY PROGRESS CALLS AND FINISHED WHEN HE PROMISED. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, WITH FRIENDLY AND PROMPT FOLLOW THROUGH. THEY LEFT THE SITE CLEAN AND WHEN ASKED TO, HAULED THE DEBRIS TO THE ALLEY FOR DISPOSAL.

VERY PROFESSIONAL. NICE GUYS THAT I DIDN'T MIND HAVING IN OUR HOME. WORKED REGULAR DAYS AND FINISHED ON TIME. THEY'RE COMING BACK IN A MONTH TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL WORK.

DAN WAS PROMPT AND POLITE. QUOTE WAS $1500.

THEY CAME OVER WITHIN 24 HOURS OF MY CALL AND PROVIDED A WRITTEN ESTIMATE BY MAIL. THEY CALLED TO FOLLOW-UP AND SEE WHETHER I WAS INTERESTED IN DOING THE JOB. ONCE I DECIDED TO DO IT (ONE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY -- WHICH WAS AT OUR HOUSE), THEY WERE ON THE BALL. THEY SHOWED UP THE NEXT MORNING AT 7 A.M. OVERALL, THEY WERE PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS. CLEANED UP DAILY BEFORE LEAVING. THEY STARTED ON A WEDNESDAY AND WERE DONE BY THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY -- JUST IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING AT OUR HOUSE!

THE EMPLOYEES OF DAN MONCKTON INC. WERE PROMPT, COURTEOUS, AND PROFESSIONAL.

VERY PROFESSIONAL, ATTENTIVE AND PUNCTUAL. SUPERB WALLPAPERING.

THE COMPANY CAME OUT THE SAME DAY WE CALLED FOR AN ESTIMATE. THEY STARTED WORKING ON THE JOB THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. THE WORKERS WERE PROMPT, CLEAN AND MY REQUESTS WERE GRANTED.

THERE WERE ABOUT 6 TRADESMEN WHO WORKED IN OUR HOME OVER A 2 WEEK PERIOD. ALL WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS, TRUSTWORTHY, AND DID EXCELLENT WORK. MONCKTON INC. HONORED ANGIE'S COUPON WHICH SAVED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT.
