Prompt, courteous, professional service from start to finish. Contractor was quite flexible regarding the start date, which changed several times, and comleting additional ad hoc work on request, such as power washing our garage floor. He was helpful in obtaining a carpenter for extensive, prep. work.

Absolutely outstanding. I could not be more pleased with their professionalism, quality, attention to detail, fair/honest price, and outstanding final product. I interviewed a number of paint contractors ahead of time, Master Finishes was clearly the most knowledgeable, friendly, easy to deal with. Honestly, I cannot think of enough superlatives to describe the overall quality of work. From the thorough prep-work to the advise and suggested improvements to the final outcome, the work was outstanding. I fully intend to contact Master Finishes for any future projects as I cannot imagine a better experience.
Description of Work: Preparation and painting of exterior of a two-story cedar-siding colonial style home. Extensive sealing around windows/doors, repair of all damaged/deteriorated siding. Also prepared and painted small outbuilding to match exactly the house.

No services performed. Based on Angie's list feedback, there were many very favorable responses to this company's work. When I engaged Master Finishes, Keith was the first to respond, and schedule a day to provide an estimate. He was timely and very professional. It was obvious he knew his trade well. Hence I was looking forward to working with him. Unfortunately, his quote was 3x the other 4 estimates I received. The gap in price was too large for me to seriously consider.
Description of Work: I contacted Master Finishes to provide a quote to paint the exterior of my home. Sand and refinish the stain on my wood garage doors. And a quote to power wash/stain the deck.

Response from MASTER FINISHES
I have never received a F, D or C in any category. Wow! I contact a customer within 24 hours. I arrange for a estimate. I show up on time. I give a estimate within 2 days of our meeting. I follow up on the estimate and give a call to confirm and ask if they have any questions. This all takes time and money. I gave a estimate for a home in a affluent neighborhood 55 minutes from my home. The total was $4250.00. Is that too much for a 4-6 bedroom home with a 3 1/2 car garage and a lot of siding? Divided by 33.3% another estimate was $1276.00 I cannot tell you how much loss of money we would have if we did this job for $1276.00. I know that powerwashing a house is around $300.00. I know that materials for this job would be $300-$400. I know that my insurance on this job would be around $400.00. I know that my salaries on this job would be around $3000.00. What else can I do? Estimate hourly at $32.00 plus materials? No one would hire me. We have 4 painters that speak fluent English. All over 40 that have families. We sweat, hurt, fight bugs, sun and rain, risk injury and bend over backwards to make a customer. We probably do 5% of extra not asked for fixing and tasks for free on every job. I am thankful for all my great customers and never forget it. Never! I am their painter for life because of trust and professionalism. An old fashioned AMERICAN that takes pride in his job and works tirelessly. I did not contribute to this bad economy. I have only owned AMERICAN cars. We work all year around and do not advertise. I have a 99% perfect credit rating and have paid all of my taxes. I probably will not get 1 penny of my social security that I have been contributing since age 14. I do not have a pension or much retirement. I will probably work until I am 75 or unable to work. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY?

I received 3 quotes, all were within 10% of each other, price was competitive and that is what I wanted to see.... we booked service in April for a mid-June start ... keith called a week before and said they were running ahead of schedule and asked to start early, OK w/ me. They started everyday by 7:00 AM and worked right through to 4:00 ... always cleaned up very well ... very friendly, all of the staff ... where they learned of areas that were not covered in the orignal est they advised us and we agreed to pay for the addtional work .... I was totally satified w/ result ... I'm not a painter but it looked great to me

I chose Keith from among several companies I interviewed for the work. Keith didn't have the lowest price but included the services I was looking for (powerwashing, patching, etc.), had good ratings here, and was very conscientious and professional about providing a detailed estimate. His team came in and completed the work over a weeks time with no problems. Everyone was very polite, the site was cleaned every day, and it was just a good experience overall. House looks great, Keith and his team paid great attention to detail in getting things right. I will be calling him again when it is time for more painting.
Description of Work: Painted all exterior trim and wood features on house (a fairly large job); painted front door interior & exterior; painted metal trim on garage and basement windows.

The ceiling in our foyer had sustained significant water damage due to a faulty roof repair in 2004. We waited until the roof contractor had made his repair before having the interior home damage repaired. We hired Master Finishes to tear out the damaged ceiling and replace it. Keith and his workers were courteous, punctual and very clean. They were conscientious about sealing off the work area from the rest of the home and minimizing the amount of auxillary dust I'd have to clean up. They repaired the ceiling and repainted the repaired areas. There is no visible seaming, which is no easy trick in drywall! I have nothing but good things to say about Keith and Master Finishes. We would definitely hire them for future drywall or paint work.

Job went perfectly. Very tough job because of the wallpaper. Keith was on vacation the second week; he told me that when I booked the job and asked if we minded he would be gone the one week. I had no problem with that, and his men couldn't have been any better if they tried. They arrived every day at 7:00 am, set up working and worked like dogs all day long. Keith and all his men are all skilled craftsmen, very meticulous, neat, polite and respectful of your home and furnishings, etc. Very nice people to have working in your house. All preparation work was first class, and the paint job was just beautiful. We are intending to sell in a year or so, so we intended to do neutral colors. Keith was very helpful in suggesting some subtle yet related colors for different areas. At the end, we used more colors than we originally planned, yet all flowed smoothly from room to room and match very well. House looks better than brand new. Whole job was neat, perfectly done and finished as quickly as they could given the detail of their work. First rate outfit!!!!!
Description of Work: Had 20-year-old wallpaper removed from large kitchen, adj. kitchen eating area, dining room, 2 story very large stairwell and foyer, 3 hallways, large master bath; then painted. Also painted regular full bath, 22X26 ft family room with cath. ceiling. All wallpaper removal was grueling hard work, I would have destroyed the walls if I had done it. They very carefully removed the paper, scraped off and washed sometimes 4 or 5 times to remove old glue, etc. They then sanded everything perfectly, primed, and sanded some more. They covered everything very well to protect wood floors, cabinets, furniture, etc. My wife was amazed how well, at end of every day, they cleaned up all their equipment, paint cans, drop cloths, etc., and left the area as neat as could be.

I love him. Having him in my home is like having my car detailed. He is meticulous in everything he does.

They cleaned the surfaces, put drywall on an exposed wall under the stairs, then on their way out, they fixed a mark inmy guest bathroom, re installed the bathroom toliet paper holder, painted the molding and he door in my back hall and swept my garage. Amazing!!

I had wanted to have our master bedroom and bath painted for over a year; however, I just couldn't decide on colors. Keith was very helpful with color selection and brought numerous samples of color combinations and finishes. Our bedroom came out beautifully with 1 wall in a faux finish and the remaining 3 in a coordinating shade. I am very pleased with the quality and attention to detail of Keith's work. I intend to use him in the future for various projects I have around the house.

Keith and his crew were always on time during the almost two weeks it took to complete. They did an excellent job and were very thorough with taping and cutting in and everything looks great. Keith was very patient with picking colors and discussing options. He radiates professionalism and trustworthiness as well as being a very nice person. His crew are all native English speakers so there was no difficulty in communicating, though Keith was here most of the time anyway. We already have scheduled them to do more interior work for us.
Description of Work: Keith and his team washed, sanded, patched, caulked, primed and painted the exterior of our home. They also sanded and stained the front door and sidelights trim. Additionally they did work on the interior, including drywall patching/replacing where we had a leak and painting the sunroom (with vaulted ceiling), family room and portions of the living room. They repaired all cracks and did various other touch-ups in other rooms. The approximate cost was $8,000.

This is our second time using Keith. He and his crew were very friendly. They did a great job. They pressure washed and stripped our deck to make the wood color look even. Then painted with a clear coat. It looks brand new. They also scraped, primed and painted the trim on the outside of our home. It really gave the outside of our home a clean look.

They did a great job and their estimate was very good. Keith has excellent advice on colors and we are very pleased with what we chose. Everything was done with a high quality paint and new paint matched existing paint very well. I was very impressed with everything they were able to do and we would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: They painted several rooms, hallways & bathrooms and the entry way. They also had to strip prime and re-piant incorrectly painted trim, that had been painted by the previous owner.

I contacted Keith in late May, along with about 6 other painting contractors. While his price was not the lowest (nor was it the highest), I could tell from talking to him while he inspected the exterior that he was a top quality guy and would do a top quality job. In early June, I was ready to contract with Keith (Master Finishes), and sent him a deposit. He called me to tell me that he was booked until mid September, and wanted to give me the opportunity to go with another painter, if I didn't want to wait that long. I decided to wait the summer and go with Keith. In September he called me about a week before he was supposed to paint the house to tell me that he was on schedule and would be there. He was right on time. They did a spectacular job, cleaned up each day. And repaired things that needed to be repaired. I will hire him again to do any painting I have. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat. Great guy. Great job.
Description of Work: Keith painted the exterior of my English Tudor house, the deck, and a new rear entry door. The house has not been painted for at least 9 years.

I was impressed with agent's professionalism, questions asked and suggestions made. I was very confident that he would do a fine job. His bid was neatly typed, itemized, and detailed. He was very responsive to my requests. I did not go with this company for two reasons - 1) Price, his bid was $615 vs $400 from another contractor, although his hourly rate for extras was $32 vs $40 from the other contractor, and 2) Timing, when he came for the inspection on 8/7/07, he was not free until the third week of September. When I received the bid in the mail on 8/13/07, he was then booked until mid November. Had I received the bid more quickly, I might have gone ahead with him though his cost was higher because he seemed very sharp and I have plans for more significant work over the next couple of years. However, the other contractor gave me a bid on the spot. When I gave him the go ahead he was able to do the job the following week.
Description of Work: Water damage in ceiling required cutting out and replacing drywall, then painting. A little tricky given the angle and obstacles. In this discussion he identified 3 additional projects, but the ceiling was my main and immediate priority. Estimated cost was $615.

Response from MASTER FINISHES
AS YOU SEE IN THE DATE LISTED ON THIS REPORT. THE POSSIBLE CUSTOMER REQUESTED EXTERIOR WORK TO BE PERFORMED IN NOVEMBER! THIS MEANS THAT WHILE WE ARE EXTREMELY BUSY IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, WE CAN ONLY WORK FROM 9:00 A.M. TO 3 OR 4 PM. THIS LATE IN THE YEAR MOTHER NATURE SOMETIMES COMES EARLY. AT 7-9 A.M. IT IS USUALLY BELOW 40 DEGREES. WE ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH WIND CHILL AND HUMIDITY LEVELS. WE HAVE TO PAY OVERTIME AND WORK WEEKENDS. A USUAL 2-3 WEEK JOB, TAKES 5 WEEKS. SOMETIMES IT SNOWS UNTIL MARCH. TO MAKE CUSTOMERS HAPPY TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT. I MAKE ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS HAPPY. MY REFERENCE LIST ALWAYS INCLUDES MY LAST 3 CUSTOMERS. NOT JUST MY BEST THREE. EVERYONE IS MY BEST CUSTOMER. WE ARE A SMALL COMPANY THAT DOES QUALITY WORK, USING COUNTLESS TOOLS AND ONLY THE BEST PRODUCTS. WE ALWAYS TAKE THE LONGEST AND ARE THE CLEANEST. SEVERAL TIMES PEOPLE HIRE US TO FIX THE JOB, AFTER THEY AWARDED IT TO ANOTHER CONTRACTOR WITH THE LOWEST BID. WE ARE NEVER THE CHEAPEST, NOT ALWAYS THE MOST EXPENSIVE, BUT ALWAYS THE BEST.

We had a great experience with Master Finishes. The quality of work was outstanding. Our construction workers even made comments on the great painting. Keith and his help were very friendly and easy to work with. The job took longer than we thought it would, but Keith refuses to cut corners. In the end, the extra time was definitely worth it. I would highly recommend Master Finishes to everyone.
