JP's Lawncare & Maintenance LLC

My house was in dire need of external painting. It probably had not been painted in 20 years. Some paint was chipping and there was wood rot in some of the soffit and facia areas. There was considerable rot around two windows that are constantly shaded. These window are mounted in a sunroom that is attached to the front entrance of the house. I went to the local Sherwin Williams store and asked for recommendations for external painting contractors. They gave me a few. I called three. One did not return my call. The second came and gave me a quote but said that he was not licensed, bonded nor insured. Although Sherwin Williams said that he did excellent work, I was not willing to take the chance. The third contractor that I called was Portillo Construction Company, LLC. Jose "senior" came to the house and did a job walkdown with me. The next day I received job quote via email. I accepted the initial quote which included all materials and labor for painting both the house and shed. However, it did not specifically include repairing the rotted area around the two windows. I called Jose "junior" to confirm that the window work would be completed as part of the contract. He checked with his dad and decided to come and make sure that they could tackle the window work. The next day, both Jose "junior" and "senior" came to the house to show me their insurance and licensing paperwork and scope-out the windows. As I suspected, the window repairs had not been included in the original quote. Jose "junior" said that he could subcontract the window work and we agreed on a price. I chose the colors and we agreed upon a work schedule. Jose "senior" and two other painters came the next day and pressure washed the house and shed. We had moved most of the potted plants and "stuff" away from the house but they gladly moved the heavier things that we could move. They pressure washed the driveway and the carport floor as well as my ceramic BBQ that really needed it. All three gentlemen were pleasant while they worked and there were no language barriers to overcome. They let the house dry for a couple of days and then came back to scrape, repair soffits and facia and prime. I had to leave my house for a few days but agreed to let them continue working in my absence, including the removal of the windows. They did not have access to the main part of the house. I was please when I returned to see that window frames were replaced and the old windows had not been broken in the process. To make an already long story longer, everything went GREAT. The house and the shed are both beautiful. I would definitely hire Portillo Contractors to do other painting and work.
