GILBERT CAREY PAINTING AND HOME REPAIR

Simply put- Gilbert is the best. We hired Gilbert last year to fix our kitchen, downstairs bathroom, foyer, and guest bedroom. After I stripped the wallpaper of all these areas, Gilbert skim coated and smoothed and primed all the these areas. He also smoothed out our sand-painted living room. He was punctual, knowledgeable, hard working and very reasonably priced. He came back earlier this month to finish 2 more rooms and they look amazing. This is no easy task as the walls had cracks in them, water damage, and old paint. Gilbert's crew made the home look brand new. Not an easy task for a 90 year old home. Highly recommend Gilbert!

The service went so well I would give this company and Gilbert himself an A+. He went over and beyond for us. I am in California and my apartment in Somerville. I was able to schedule the service with him remotely, he made sure he worked around my tenant's time to go see, quote and then when I decided to do some last minute addition to the service he accepted with no fuss. Gilbert was professional, responsive, punctual, and the work performed was in great quality, clean courteous. Worth every penny but oh they were also very reasonably priced. Needless to say I will reuse and recommend their services to all. Thanks Gilbert and crew.

Gilbert sent one of his painters to work with me for two days. The painter was professional and hard working- together we repainted an 1,100 sq foot apartment in 16 hours. I supplied all material and had done most of the prep but his speed and precision helped get the job done in the allotted time. I couldn't be more pleased and I will be considering them for future fixed price painting projects after such a solid performance.

Gilbert and his crew showed up promptly the morning they were to do the work. He had a 2 man crew that worked diligently for the whole day. There was a spot where a stain came through likely because it was so humid and not as dry as would have been on another day. Gilbert came back himself to touch it up and make sure I was satisfied. I appreciated the professionalism that he and his painters displayed.

Did a wonderful job. Highly recommend. Did the job quickly but didn’t cut corners.

Mr. Carey gave me a proposal to do some exterior house painting and repairs. I accepted the proposal. There was no contract (though I asked for one) and no money paid. I asked for a target date for starting the work. The date came and went with no contact from him. I asked for another target date (I understand bad weather influences schedules for outside work.) He gave me another time frame. The date came and went with no contact from him. I lost a year and now have to find another painter who will show up and do the job.

Gilbert and team did a very nice neat job. They were professional, and efficient, and the rooms turned out very nice.

Gilbert was prompt, professional, friendly, and responsive. His crew did a beautiful job, including painting all around a spiral staircase that is at some points only an inch or so from the walls. They took care of some uneven patch up work in the walls left by the previous occupants and simply did flawless work. I scheduled with Gilbert few months ahead, while the previous occupants of the condo were still living there. When they moved out, I discovered damage to the floors and made the decision to have the floors re-sanded and finished, with only a few weeks to go before my movers were to come (and only days before Gilbert's crew was to start painting). I spoke with Gilbert and he was really flexible, friendly, and calm, and completely un-phased by the last-minute change. He assured me that it would all work out and it did! He changed his crew's schedule without hesitation and coordinated with the floor sanders. I'd recommend Gilbert's company to anyone, and would hire them again in an instant!

There was a 3 week lag before the job was started but that is understandable in this busy market. Gilbert and the crew came and had the job completed in 3 days. They even did some wood repair/filling and small plaster work. The whole house was cleaned up and ready for my inspection. It looks great! I would recommend Gilbert Carey to anyone.

We cannot recommend Gilbert and his crew enough, they are AMAZING. They are talented, responsive, affordable, pleasant, professional, on time, and they do wonderful work. We will recommend them to everyone we know! We are renovating our 1910 bungalow and removing wall paper and paneling left our walls in a terrible state. Gilbert and his crew came in and saved us, our walls are smoothed and primed. We will use them in the future!!!

Gilbert Carey and his team were very professional and effective: they painted the interior of our house faster than expected and very well. The job was very reasonably priced. When you call the first time, Gilbert might be busy and might not call you back right away: keep contacting him via phone or email or text and eventually he'll get to you and you won't regret it! I would definitely use their services again.

We were very pleased. He was responsive with providing the initial cost estimate, agreed easily to the details of how we wanted the work done, and his crew did a very nice job. We plan to use him again, when the deck needs re-staining.

The repair and painting was done in a timely manner. The crew cleaned up after themselves each day they were here. We have used Gilbert Carey and his crew for a number of years now and would recommend them. I did not handle the payments for this work so I do not know what the cost was.

Gilbert was responsive and professional. We are extremely pleased with everything and would certainly recommend them. We will definitely use them again.

Prompt, professional, made walls that we thought we would have to replace look like new!

They were on time, courteous, clean. perfect.

Excellent. On time, VERY professional, courteous, personable, with an extremely quick turn around for the estimate. It is a very reasonable estimate.

Small miscommuication about where he would and would not paint, but we worked through the misunderstanding and he finished the job in a timely manner. The stain on the house lasted well, but the trim gave up fairly quickly. It is an old house. I would consider him again, but I'd also look at others.

Got three estimates from highly recommended area painters. All were professional and responsive but Gilbert's bid came in lowest and I appreciated his willingness to correspond via email. Job start wound up being delayed by a couple of days but he communicated well about it. On the start day, he came with about four others who immediately set to work carefully moving furniture and covering everything up. (I had removed all of the paintings and nicknacks.) They worked diligently for three days and miraculously put everything back in place. I did have to do a good cleaning afterwards to get up the remaining plaster dust but I don't think that could have been avoided given the nature of the job. They did a terrific job except for one spot on my ceiling which has a swirling pattern. When I brought it to Gilbert's attention, he came back very soon after and redid it perfectly. If I were to do this over again, I would stay at a friend's during the painting -- had never done this before and hadn't realized how disruptive it could be -- but I have a cat and wasn't sure what to do with it. Would definitely use his services again if need arises.

Amazing. Gilbert is great. He puts care into his work and makes a painting project very easy on the customer. Also, he clearly treats his workers well. I have recommended him to others and am so happy I found him on Angies list a couple years ago. Highly recommended!

Great experience. Professional, hard working, detail oriented and good clean up. We are very pleased.

Painters showed up on time, as scheduled, and did a professional job - great clean-up afterwards too. The room looks fantastic!

Gilbert and his crews were very professional, punctual, fast, clean, and accommodating to our needs. Initially we had hired Gilbert and his guys to only paint our kitchen and master bedroom and bath. However they did such a good, fast reasonably priced job that we added the rest of our house which included two more bedrooms, a hallway, and the main bath. They were quite flexible as we asked to have both of our bathroom repainted twice since we were not happy with how the color looked. Gilbert was wonderful to deal with and very responsive to our changing needs and adding more to the project. Out of all the quotes, he gave the most fair price. I highly recommend him for any job big or small!

The two painters as well as Gilbert showed up on time every morning. Gilbert made sure he knew what we wanted painted and then relayed that information to his painters. The painters worked, seemingly non-stop, all day. It was easy to have them in our house. They covered all surfaces well and left everything clean and picked up at the end of each day. The painting itself was nicely done. No complaints!

It took a while to schedule the service after buying the coupon, since the painters were booked for weeks. (Something we didn't realize when we bought the coupon.) Luckily our project wasn't time sensitive, though. After calling a couple of times, the guys finally had a window in their schedule and came out two days before Thanksgiving. They prepped and painted all three rooms (including ceilings and trim) and our enclosed porch ceiling in two days' time, which we were very impressed with. They were very professional and polite -- we have three young kids and often had to walk through their work site and they never gave us a hard time. No one smoked or played loud music, they just came early and stayed late and got the job done. We'll definitely use these painters again.
