Crescent Ave Plastering & Painting Inc

HE WAS HORRIBLE. HE PAINTED THE HARDWARE AND THINGS THAT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE. HE AND HIS CREW WERE JUST DOWN RIGHT SLOPPY. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Marty and his team were available quickly (which really wasn't the case with everyone else), and did the work just as fast. They were professional and courteous, and really did an excellent job. Every wall in the house was plaster and unlevel. They had to sand, plaster, and paint every inch of our house, and it looks fantastic. We couldn't be happier with the finished product. And we'll be in need in the spring of someone to paint the exterior of our house, and we're certain to bid Crescent for the job as part of our search.

THEY CAME OUT TO TAKE THE MEASUREMENTS, AND SCOPE OUT THE JOB FOR AN ESTIMATE, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE. WITH SEVERAL OTHERS IN HAND, I NEVER FOLLOWED UP TO GET THE ESTIMATE

FAILED TO SUBMIT A WRITTEN PROPOSAL AFTER MEETING WITH ME TO REVIEW THE JOB. WASTED MY TIME AS WELL AS HIS OWN.

HE POLYURETHANED THE WINDOWS AND THEN STAINED THE WOOD. THE WINDOW DO NOT FIT OPENINGS. I WOULD NEVER USE HIM AGAIN.

WE DIDN'T GET WORK DONE BUT I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT HE CALLED BACK QUICKLY TO TELL ME WE WERE OUT OF HIS ZONE.

I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK AND WITH THE PEOPLE THAT DID IT. THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL AND NICE. MARTY WAS THOUGHTFUL AND EASY TO WORK WITH. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN.

THIS EXPERIENCE TURNED OUT TO BE A TOTAL DISASTER! I HAVE AN 85-YR-OLD 2 FLAT WITH PLASTER WALLS. TWO OF THE ROOMS IN THE APARTMENT HAD DRYWALL AS WELL AS THE PANTRY. I DECIDED THAT I PREFERRED THE PLASTER WALLS AND HAD SEVERAL COMPANIES COME IN FOR AN ESTIMATE TO BRING THE 3 ROOMS BACK TO PLASTER. MOST OF THE COMPANIES DIDN'T RECOMMEND IT BUT MARTY SAID THAT THAT WOULD BE NO PROBLEM. HE UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED, THAT I WANTED TO GET RID OF THE DRYWALL. I HIRED HIM ALMOST SOLELY ON THE FACT THAT HE SAID THAT HE DOES THIS KIND OF WORK. PLUS HE ALSO GAVE ME A REASONABLE ESTIMATE. AFTER HAVING EMERGENCY WORK DONE WHERE LARGE HOLES WERE PLACED IN THE WALLS HE CAME BACK TO GIVE ANOTHER ESTIMATE. AGAIN HE SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM IN DOING THE WORK. I SCHEDULED HIM TO START AND ONCE THE WHOLE CREW ARRIVED WITH ALL OF THEIR EQUIPMENT MARTY TELLS ME THAT HE AND ONE OF HIS WORKERS ADVISE AGAINST IT. I FEEL IT WAS THE OLD "BAIT AND SWITCH" JOB I WAS GIVEN.

EXCELLENT WORK. VERY IMPRESSIVE AFTER EXPERIENCING BAD PLASTER WORK PREVIOUSLY. THEY DID A LOT OF PLASTER REPAIR, & PAINTED THE ENTIRE FIRST FLOOR IN FOUR DAYS. VERY EFFICIENT & PROFESSIONAL.

MARTY AND HIS CREW ARE SUPER NICE. THE PRICE WAS ON PAR WITH OTHER PLASTERERS I SPOKE WITH. WHAT WAS DONE LOOKS GREAT, BUT THERE ARE A FEW SPOTS I FEEL WERE LEFT SOMEWHAT UNFINISHED. WHEN I WALKED THROUGH THE HOUSE WITH HIM AT THE END OF THE JOB, HE POINTED OUT SOME CORNERS HE SUGGESTED I CAULK. EVEN WORSE, HE TOLD ME HE'D LEAVE A BAG OF PLASTER IN CASE THERE WERE ANY SPOTS THEY MISSED. I WAS THEN LEFT WITH 9 HEAVY BAGS OF OLD PLASTER IN THE KITCHEN, HALF OF THEM IN _MY_ 3 MIL BAGS, THE REST IN REGULAR TRASH BAGS THAT RIPPED OPEN AS I CARRIED THEM OUT TO THE ALLEY. P.S. TWO MONTHS AFTER I ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED MY REPORT, THIS CONTRACTOR CALLED ME AT WORK AND GAVE ME AN EARFUL FOR GIVING HIM A C OVERALL RATING.

AT FIRST, MARTY WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH FOR AN ESTIMATE AND CONTRACT. HOWEVER, ONCE THE WORK WAS SCHEDULED, HE AND HIS TEAM WERE PROMPT, COURTEOUS AND FLEXIBLE WITH OUR SCHEDULES. WORK WAS COMPLETED VERY QUICKLY AND THE QUALITY OF THE JOB IS FANTASTIC!

MARTY WAS EASY TO WORK WITH AND WAS ABLE TO BE VERY FLEXIBLE WITH THE WORK SCHEDULE, SINCE WE HAD TO RELY ON THE OTHER CONTRACTOR TO DO ADDITIONAL WORK BETWEEN THE PLASTER REPAIR AND THE PAINTING. ALL THREE OF THE GUYS WHO DID THE WORK (DIFFERENT EACH DAY) WERE COURTEOUS AND REASONABLY NEAT (PLASTER WORK CAN BE VERY MESSY).

MARTY WAS EASY TO WORK WITH AND WAS ABLE TO BE VERY FLEXIBLE WITH THE WORK SCHEDULE, SINCE WE HAD TO RELY ON THE OTHER CONTRACTOR TO DO ADDITIONAL WORK BETWEEN THE PLASTER REPAIR AND THE PAINTING. ALL THREE OF THE GUYS WHO DID THE WORK (DIFFERENT EACH DAY) WERE COURTEOUS AND REASONABLY NEAT (PLASTER WORK CAN BE VERY MESSY). MARTY CAME BACK TO DO SOME REQUIRED TOUCHUP THAT HE AGREED WAS NECESSARY. FOR SOME REASON, THOUGH, I LET THINGS GET GOING WITHOUT A WRITTEN PROPOSAL. (WILL I NEVER LEARN?) I HAD ASSUMED THAT THE PAINTING WOULD BE PRIMER PLUS TWO COATS, BUT MARTY HAD ONLY PLANNED TO DO ONE COAT OF PAINT.

I AM EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY OF WORK. MY HOUSE IS A 70 YEAR OLD BUNGALOW WITH PLASTER WALLS AND CEILINGS. THERE WERE NUMEROUS CRACKS, AS WELL AS, SOME SECTIONS OF MISSING PLASTER THAT WERE DAMAGED WHEN THE ROOF LEAKED. MARTY'S PEOPLE CLEANED OUT ALL THE CRACKS, APPLIED FIBERGLASS TAPE, PATCHED AND SANDED EVERYTHING. THREE ROOMS HAD SOME TYPE OF PAINTABLE WALLPAPER COVERING THE CEILINGS. THESE WERE REMOVED AND THE CEILINGS WERE PATCHED. THE CROWN MOLDING IN 3 ROOMS HAD BEEN PAINTED OVER. MARTY'S PEOPLE STRIPPED AND RESTAINED THESE. EVERYTHING INSIDE THE HOUSE WAS PRIMERED AND PAINTED. THE CEILING OF AN ADDITION HAD BEEN DRYWALLED AND TAPED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE TAPE JOB WAS EXTREMELY POOR. MARTY'S PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO SMOOTH OUT THE CEILING. THE ENTIRE JOB TOOK APPROX. 15 DAYS TO COMPLETE. THE HOUSE WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY WHILE THE WORK TOOK PLACE. MARTY'S QUOTE WAS NOT THE LOWEST OVERALL, BUT IT WAS THE LOWEST ONE FROM THE 5 COMPANIES WE CALLED FROM ANGIE'S LIST.

MARTY'S WORK WAS OUTSTANDING. I COULDN'T BE MORE PLEASED. MADE EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS AND ARRANGED FOR CARPENTRY REPAIR THAT I COULDN'T GET SERVICE FOR ON ITS OWN.

MARTY WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH - VERY DEPENDABLE AND HONEST.

INITIALLY WE WERE IMPRESSED WHEN THE OWNER ANSWERED OUR CALL, SET UP A TIME FOR AN ESTIMATE AND WAS FRIENDLY AT THE MEETING TO GIVE US AN ESTIMATE. HOWEVER, DESPITE HIM TELLING US HE WOULD CALL US WITH AN ESTIMATED PRICE AND THEN WRITE UP A WRITTEN ESTIMATE, HE DID NEITHER. WE EVEN CALLED BACK AND LEFT A PHONE MESSAGE, BUT HE NEVER RETURNED OUR CALL. I EXPECTED FAR MORE FROM THIS COMPANY GIVEN ALL THE RAVE REVIEWS THEY HAVE. HOWEVER, I WOULD NEVER CONTACT THEM AGAIN OR RECOMMEND THEM BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE.

PROMPT ESTIMATE & RETURN OF CALLS. BEGAN WORK WHEN PROMISED. ALL FURNITURE & RUGS COVERED. A VERY NICE PAINTING JOB-SOME AREAS REQUIRED 2 COATS-NO EXTRA CHARGE. VERY EASY TO WORK WITH.

THE PRICES SEEMED REASONABLE AND THE PERSON WHO CAME OUT FOR THE ESTIMATE WAS ON TIME. IT TOOK A FEW PHONE CALLS BACK AND FORTH TO SET UP THE ESTIMATE, BUT IT GOT DONE EVENTUALLY. WE CHOSE NOT TO USE THEM BECAUSE WE CHOSE TO USE A COMPANY THAT WOULD DO OUR ENTIRE KITCHEN RENOVATION.

DID NOT SHOW UP FOR AN APPOINTMENT. HE SAID HE CALLED I WAS HOME ALL DAY AND I HAVE CALLER ID - HE DID NOT CALL.

I CALLED FOR AN ESTIMATE, AND SOMEBODY TOOK A MESSAGE FOR ME. MARTY RETURNED MY CALL AT 9:00 P.M. AND SAID HE COULD COME BY IN THE MORNING (NO PARTICULAR TIME). HE HAD SOME ERRANDS TO RUN, AND WOULD CALL ME FOR DIRECTIONS BEFORE HE CAME OVER. I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AFTER THAT. THE PHONE DID RING THAT EVENING AT ABOUT 9:45 P.M., BUT I WAS ALREADY IN BED, SO DID NOT ANSWER. I CAN'T BE SURE IT WAS MARTY BECAUSE THE CALLER DID NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE, BUT WE RARELY RECEIVE PHONE CALLS THAT LATE.

HE AND THE WORK HE DOES IS JUST FANTASTIC. IN ADDITION HIS PUNCTUALITY IS NOTABLE.

IT IS THE 2ND TIME THAT WE HAVE USED CRESCENT. THE PAINTERS ARRIVED PROMPTLY, WERE COURTEOUS, AND DID EXCELLENT WORK; THEY ALSO DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF CLEANING UP. MARTY ORLANDO, THE OWNER, IS PROMPT AT RETURNING PHONE CALLS, IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND EASY TO DEAL WITH. WE WILL DEFINITELY USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

MARTY WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THE PERSON FROM HIS COMPANY THAT DID THE WORK DID A GREAT JOB.

MR. ORLANDO RESPONDED PROMPTLY WHEN I CALLED AND ARRANGED A VISIT FOR A QUOTE THE FOLLOWING WEEK. ON THE APPOINTED DAY, HE WAS DELAYED FOR OVER AN HOUR AT WHICH POINT I HAD TO LEAVE FOR AN HOUR. THEN HE WAS DELAYED AGAIN AND FINALLY ARRIVED 2 HOURS LATER. HE REVIEWED THE PLASTERING AND PAINTING WORK THAT WAS NEEDED AND PROMISED TO PHONE WITH A QUOTE. I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN.
