Dale called the day of the estimate and asked if he could come earlier. I welcomed this call and it worked out well for me. When he arrived I was surprised as to how tall he was - 6'10". He went to each room where we had work to perform and made notes, but he didn't take any room measurements. We had a large family room to paint in three colors, a 1/2 bath that need painting with some minor ceiling drywall work and painting an office upstairs. He was very professional and related his many years of experience and mentioned a couple high profile clients he had done work for. He said that his Godson would be working with him and that he belonged to a network of Christian contractors. This comment was a little strange, but I figured he was telling me this so that I would feel more comfortable with him and his integrity.
Description of Work: I did not go with Dale as his estimate was $800 higher than the other competitors. I was surprised that he never followed up on his estimate (received 2 days later) with a phone call.

He took a few days to get back to me to set up a time to come for a quote; however, that wasn't a big deal because I wasn't in a big hurry. Once he had the appointment, he arrived on time, was very professional, and very nice; however, we did not choose him because of price.
Description of Work: Needed master bedroom painted which contained custom molding.

Dale returned our call for an estimate quickly. Dale answered my questions confidently and gave me a very good feeling that the work by his team would be of high quality. I appreciated his personal attention to detail. He faxed the estimate as promised and was very flexible with scheduling around our busy lives. Dale returned calls promptly and was professional at all times. When he and his assistant came, they were prompt and did the work well. I worked from home while they were working, and they were very respectful of my work (i.e., quiet when I was on calls, waited for me to be available when needed). Dale was not able to get the new baseboards to line up precisely because of the new carpet. He did some customization of the baseboard to minimize the effect and pointed out to me where the difference was apparent. He made sure it was acceptable before he finalized the work. The drywall repairs, including one large crack, were done very well. The basement looks brand new.
Description of Work: Dale & team painted our basement and stairwell. They repaired the drywall for minor cracks and holes due to age/use. They replaced and painted our baseboards (removed/damaged by flooding) to match existing baseboards. Dale also painted some wood trim around the basement entry door.

He arrived on time with his team, helped me to move furniture and went to work while I did. When I came home, Dale had repaired nail pops and painted the ceiling at no extra cost because it really didn't look so good after the walls had been repaired and painted. The work was excellent and he made the walls look better than they had when I first moved in. His service was top notch.
Description of Work: Dale was asked to paint only the walls of the living room and kitchen to freshen up my house for sale.

Dale & team did a great job! He was very accommodating on the time schedule & shuffled some jobs around to get us in sooner. His team was very professional, & did a very precise job & cleanup. We hope to use Dale again for our new construction home & he will be bidding on it soon.
Description of Work: We are in the process of selling our home, so we walked through with Dale to find areas to patch, touch up, or just completely paint to make it look "perfect". The goal was to have no spot left that anyone could see. This was for all 3 floors of the house.

WE DIDN'T HIRE DALE INITIALLY BECAUSE WE THOUGHT HIS BID WAS A BIT HIGH, EVEN THOUGH WE GOT A GOOD FEELING RIGHT AWAY. AFTER 2 WEEKS OF FRUSTRATION WITH THE OTHER PAINTER, WE DIDN'T CARE AS MUCH ABOUT PRICE AND JUST WANTED THE JOB DONE RIGHT! DALE FIXED ALL THE OTHER GUY'S MISTAKES AND LOWERED HIS BID BY $400 TO BOOT! I THOUGHT HIS QUALITY OF WORK WAS EXCELLENT ! MY HUSBAND IS A BIT PICKIER THAN ME, AND FOUND SOME AREAS HE WANTED RE-DONE. DALE CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY TO FIX ALL MY HUSBANDS CONCERNS. AFTER HE HAD ALREADY BEEN PAID. LIKE I SAID HE IS A PROFESSIONAL.
Description of Work: WE STRIPPED WALLPAPER OURSELVES IN A HALL AND MASTER BATH. THE WALLS WERE LEFT IN TERRIBLE SHAPE, SO THOSE NEEDED PATCHING, PRIMING & PAINTING. ALSO HAD DALE STRIP WALLPAPER IN MASTER BEDROOM, THEN PATCH & PAINT, ALSO DALE REPAIRED WATER DAMAGE TO KITCHEN CEILING, PATCHED & REPAINTED.

He was very pleasant and came on time for our appointment. He also followed up later by phone to see if we were interested. We decided not to use him because the price was high. He did say he does his own work and does a good job, and I expect this is true.
