MICHAEL GORDON PAINTING CONTRACTOR

JOB 1: I ACTUALLY HESITATE TO SAY HOW GOOD MIKE GORDON IS, HOW REASONABLE, PLEASANT, PROFESSIONAL, TIDY, ETC. FOR FEAR WE WON'T BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM WHEN WE NEED HIM AGAIN. WE'LL BE MOVING IN NOV. AND WE'VE ALREADY BOOKED HIM TO PAINT THE 11 ROOMS IN THE HOUSE. IT'S JUST HIM, NO SUBS, NO MASKING TAPE JUST A GREAT TRADITIONAL PAINTER WHO KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. EXCELLENT. JOB 2: HE STAGES EVERYTHING AND CLEANS UP AT THE END OF THE DAY. ALL SURFACES ARE SPACKLED, SANDED (AND PRIMED IF NECESSARY) BEFORE TWO COATS (OR THREE) GO ON. HE'S OLD SCHOOL, WORKING FREE HAND W/O MASKING TAPE. WHERE TWO COLORS BUTT IN CORNERS, THE LINES ARE PERFECT. HE COMES EARLY AND WORKS LATE. HE'S NICE TO WORK WITH AND THE JOB HE DOES IS GREAT. EVEN THOUGH OTHER CONTRACTORS WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IN A CREW AND DONE THIS BIG JOB IN HALF THE TIME, THEIR RESULTS WOULDN'T BE AS GOOD AND THEY WOULD COST MORE MONEY. HE WAS KIND WITH MY TWO CURIOUS DOGS, AND HANDLED CHANGES WITH PATIENCE AND A SENSE OF HUMOR.

THE WALLPAPER WAS OLD, AND VERY DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING TO REMOVE. HE DID A GREAT DEAL OF PREP WORK TO MAKE THE OLD WALLS LOOK ALMOST NEW. TOOK CARE OF A LOT OF SMALL DETAILS WHICH I FIND TO BE VERY IMPORTANT. ALL IN ABOUT FIVE AND HALF DAYS
