It went great. They were professional, courteous, and quick. They cleaned up after themselves and they did a phenomenal job.
Description of Work: I needed my great room, hallway and entrance way painted. My walls were not in great shape. They had a lot of patch work to do.

Excellent work!! Painting was immaculate - even without masking! Jeff Farr explained in detail what his crew would do and they did it. Crew was exceptionally courteous, professional, and always punctual. Very very pleased and definitely recommend Improvements by Farr to anyone! Their slogan - "Now that's an improvement by Farr" - says it all!
Description of Work: Textured all ceilings throughout the house - approx 1566 sf. Total two-tone interior painting - walls, doors, trim and window panes. Painting included inside of closets. Anything taken down (i.e. drapes, lights, doors, cabinet doors, etc) was put back up. Installed 2 new ceiling fans.

What really stood out was they were on time everyday and very clean and concise. If we weren't happy with something they would come back and fix it right away. We were so pleased with the quality of work that they did. They were very trustworthy and professional the entire process.
Description of Work: They added a deck and a pergola to the back of my house.

The contractor sent one guy out to do the entire remodel alone, unless it was a day he needed a check. The work went extremely slowly and then he charged us extra for supposedly not having the materials ready,(which was HIS job) saying it delayed the job.. He tore up the basement floor, which we had decided to keep, and then charged us almost another $1500 extra for his mistake. He then took the final payment and never returned to finish the job, so now there's a large hole beteewn two rooms where there was supposed to be a door. Horrible experience.
Description of Work: We used this contractor for a basement/bathroom remodel. There was damage due to a long term leak, requiring replacement of walss ceilings, etc.

Response from Improvements by Farr
I would never take money for work that i did not do. We were told to replace flooring and after we started to remove old flooring we were told to never mind. As for the hole in the wall it is a rough frame for a French door which needs to be picked out by the customer. We have not been paid for this and will not be until we install the door which has not been selected yet.
