Description of Work: stripped and revarnished several decks. Price certainly ok for size of job. |But punctuality a real problem. Mostly turned up late to very late or not at all. Stripping was indeed a huge job, with an enormous mess (which could not be helped, I realize) and far from perfect, but we decided to live with that. Revarnishing sloppy, with forgotten spots. Called again several times this spring for touch up and varnishing of benches as was discussed in 2014. No response whatsoever, so we've given up on that and done it ourselves. |

After initial contact, Phil with Lakeshore came out and provided a bid in a timely manner. Contract was signed, deposit paid and work was scheduled pending weather. As this is a second home, the work was completed without our being present, ahead of schedule. Upon inspection, we asked Phil to come out and take care of some issues with needed trim replacement. He was there immediately and the required work was completed without question or complaint, with a sincere apology for the problems. In addition, he adjusted the price downward to compensate. Mistakes happen, but how someone responds is reflective of the overall operation. Phil's responsiveness was outstanding.

Description of Work: Had deck painted. Only disappointment was that the color we selected turned out to be way off from sample color when it dried and we decided to have another color applied over it. They were very apologetic but we did pay for a new color application and after some use have a few small spots of first color showing up. Feel this is the fault of the paint company not the service provider. |Inside some small work all went extremely well. |Everyone was most polite and accommodating and would work with this provider again.

I had the work done and the paint has been chipping off. I called to have it repainted and they said that we needed to sand it and they would come out and paint it. I am not able to do that and have tried to call several times but no they are no longer answering.

Estimate one day and the wallpaper removal and painting done the next.
Description of Work: We had the kitchen wallpaper removed that turned out to be a much bigger project than expected. The wall were cleaned and sanded before they painted two coats. Everything was great. All done in one day, just took 4 extra hours to complete.

The only real mistakes made on the job related to having them paint before other things were complete. This resulted in a need to repaint some areas but that was on me not the company. Phil went above and beyond to help move furniture, fixtures, electronics etc. and whenever asked he would help in just about any way. The house looks great today.

phil did a great job communicating his progress as the job proceeded and working around my schedule when we needed to meet. He was professional and courteous and took care to make sure I was happy with the results. He even grabbed a ladder during a rain delay and cleaned a plugged gutter on the house he was painting for me. Will definitely hire Lakeshore the next time!

Phil was the first of four contractors to respond and come to the house. He was prompt and very knowledgable. I ultimately didn't go with Phil but was impressed enough with his knowledge, references etc that I would absolutely call him the next time I need painting on the interior or exterior of my home.
Description of Work: I recently moved into a home that has cedar siding on the exterior. The stain was in really bad shape and in need of work. I found Phill's name on Angie's List and asked him to come and provide me an estimate. Phill is the one that came to my house and met with me but his company is now called Lakeshore Painting.

Job went very smoothly with some weather delays. We put a deposit down to schedule and paid the balance upon inspection and completion. I was impressed that I was given a copy of their insurance and bond with the estimate and did not even have to ask for it. The owner and crew were very personable. Job took about a week to complete due to some weather delays.
Description of Work: Hired Lakeshore Painting (formerly Phil Kress Painting) to match colors and paint the exterior of house and garage. They also did interior work on a kitchen that required patching first.

Very good job. Cleaned up after themselves better than many other folks who make a mess doing jobs. Nice and friendly people. Good quality control by Phil. Covered everything so it wouldn't get dust or paint on it. When sanding they covered the entrances so that the dust wouldn't go into the other rooms. My wife thought it was cool that Phil sent a thank-you note for the business that had the same color as the paint they put on the walls.

The job went very well. We gave Phil the exterior job only at first - since we were doing other work inside the house, and that would be a much larger job. He did a great job, suggested a better color scheme for the deck and front doorway - which turned out looking much better than the original. If he found trim work that needed replacement - he advised me about it - instead of just painting over things. He replaced trimwork as needed, cut back bushes that were in the way, and filled and caulked as needed. And he kept me informed every step of the way if he saw anything else that needed attention. After that we gave Phil the interior job of removing all the wallpaper and painting all the rooms. Again he did an excellent job, and was very thorough. As neccessary he took down light fixtures, removed vanities, window treatments, etc. Every spot was patched, sanded, and painted and vacummed afterward. I kept adding on to the original job and feel I was given fair prices for the extra work that I requested. At one point during the process, Phil came to work and found our basement pump had gone out, leaving two inches of standing water. He was unable to contact me that morning - so he went out - bought a pump, installed it, and cleaned up all the water. Of course he did charge me for it - but that is fine. He took the iniative to fix the problem - so we would not incur further water damage. I am doubtful that many contractors would go to such lengths for their customers. All in all - his prices are competetive - not cheap - but he does a great job for the money. More importantly - he is honest regarding the work he is doing and keeps you informed of any problems he comes across. And the paint job looks fantastic.
Description of Work: Originally I asked Phil for an estimate on removing wallpaper and painting the interior of my house, which had wallpaper in practically every room. The house is 2700 sq ft. While thinking over the interior estimates,I requested an estimate for some exterior painting on the house - mostly trim work since the house has vinyl siding, painting the foundation , wood deck, power washing a vinyl sided barn that had turned somewhat green.

The house he was painting was empty. He couldn’t get hold of me when he was painting the basement. The basement was filled with water. So, he went out on his own and got a sump pump. He installed it and also did the clean up work. He did this because I wasn’t unavailable. He knew that the work had to be done and he did it anyway. I never had anybody work for me, who went out of his way like he did. He did everything to set it right. He didn’t overcharge me, either. His prices were fair. I even told him to charge for the labor. He did excellent work. He has a small company, with six guys working for him. He makes the decisions.
Description of Work: I used Phil Kress Painting. He painted both the interior and the exterior of my house, two weeks ago. He had to strip off the wallpaper too.
