From start to finish Paul's Painting provided a GREAT experience! After the initial contact, Paul set a date within a week to come by to take a look at the project. He arrived on time and had a binder with other projects he'd done. He took time to look at the project and gave me what I considered to be a very reasonable quote. I told him I'd like to hire him for the project. He left a bzillion color samples for me to have fun with (or be confused by) as I still wasn't sure if I was going to stay with the same colors or try something different. His services included power-washing and minor repair (reattached loose fascia, secured a couple of deck boards). He did this a few days ahead of time so everything was ready to go the day he arrived to start the project. What I found especially impressive is that he power-washed on a day that was too rainy and overcast for painting - - talk about good time management! He arrived on the day the project was to begin and got right at it. He works by himself and requires minimal equipment. You can tell he's been doing this for a very long time because he is extremely efficient and has an eye for detail. He painted things I hadn't even noticed about my house nor would have thought to ask him to paint!! For the most part we had great cooperation from the weather and he was able to move quickly on the house and shed. He even made use of part of the holiday weekend to finish up this part of the project (he told me he might work on the holiday even though I encouraged him to spend the time with his family). Now for the deck...oh, the deck. I struggled to select a color, and Paul was careful not to lead me, he let me decide and we both thought the sample complimented the house/trim colors. The deck project began and within the hour I anxiously took a peek at how it was going to look. Only, I didn't like it... at all! As the paint dried it wasn't a tone that looked good next to the house color - I was devastated because I knew I'd picked it out and saw the brand new cans of paint setting there ready to go. Well, Paul's Painting is a professional service and he makes no qualms about the fact that customer satisfaction is his utmost goal. So, true to form we discussed my concerns and he agreed that the shade of color could be better. Now what I asked? He asked me to trust him... he wanted to take the paint back and have them add some color to it. I was concerned that he didn't have a mixture to follow. I think his comment was and quot;this isn't my first rodeo.and quot; Which made me laugh and also put me at ease! He returned with the new paint mixture, started over and I have to tell you... it wasn't his first rodeo! The color was gorgeous - just right and I couldn't be happier! The decks took several days and if I remember right he even worked a weekend day again. Actually, there is a bit more to the deck story I have to tell you. He was probably within a half-dozen boards of project completion when he ran out of paint. He ran back to the store for the last gallon, returned and when he started painting, the color was off ever so slightly... to me it was barely noticeable. The person who had mixed all of the other cans wasn't available and so the mixture was off just a bit. Unfazed he waited for the right paint and came back to finish the job as only he would see it done! And none of these set-backs cost me an extra dime from his original quote! I would venture to say that Paul is very likely the best at what he does! I'd also like potential customers to know what great care he took in areas others might not...one was with plants and vegetation near the house and the other had to do with two nesting robins, both with eggs or young chicks that he very carefully worked around. Please consider Paul's Painting if you need exterior or interior painting done... I'm confident you will be pleased!
