Felipe delivered as his contract promised. He and his brother and their crew were always there on time and worked hard until the end. They listened to any suggestions I had and basically stayed focused. Each night they left with everything picked up and put away. It was truly an outstanding job.

Felipe and his crew were polite and professional. Their quote was competitive against three others and they provided good references. The crew showed up on schedule and worked diligently to get the job done, which took 2 weeks. They have a pride in their work and did everything they promised with minimal direction. Clean up was very good. I would hire them again without hesitation for any painting or light carpentry work.
Description of Work: FTS repainted the outside of my house and performed a variety of carpentry tasks, including replacing shingles and repairing cracked or rotted wooden trim.

We had several bids and found Felipe to be honest, prompt, and reasonable, so we gave him the contract. On our request, the project start date was shifted from early spring to mid summer to accommodate our changed schedule. The crew were punctual and professional. They were careful around some fairly thick plantings around the house. There were some minor damages to the plants, but seems unavoidable. The workers were very responsive to our needs as well as tending to minor "missing spots" that we pointed out. The daily cleanup was very professional, with no trace of any debris.
Description of Work: Exterior painting job on a large wood panel house with wooded deck. Job included some significant deck repair work, and other minor repair/touchup on the wood sidings.

Felipe is one of the most responsive contractors I've ever worked with and I look forward to working with him and his team again! They were willing to provide a quote without us being there, was extremely responsive over email (a lifesaver!) and then met later to follow-up on project details. His team started on the date we had requested and did a fantastic job, including a very thorough clean up. Felipe was very responsive to a few questions I had during the job and the team went back to remove some additional wires. I look forward to using them again!
Description of Work: Repainting the exterior of a two-family which had extensive peeling. Included all siding, soffits, and window trim. Difficult terrain - on a high hill.

Everything was fine from Quote to finish - they started a few days earlier than estimated and were done earlier than estimated with no surprises in cost.

Felipe and Victor were incredibly responsive from the initial meeting for an estimate. They answered all my questions and addressed any concerns we had. When we were waffling between color choices, they came out on a Sunday to do some test painting so we were able to see the choices on the house. And when the crew began work, we (and our neighbors) found them extremely hard-working and professional. Any hiccups were addressed right away in the most professional manner. They worked the whole day, every day, and no part seemed rushed through. We would hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking to have their house painted.
Description of Work: We hired FTS painting to do a full exterior house paint. They did some necessary trim repairs and did some sorting of shutters as well. We also had them do a small interior job, (repainting the fireplace), as we were impressed with their professionalism at every turn.

Excellent job - highly professional team - punctual and very neat. At each phase: (1) power washing, (2) scraping/priming, (3) final coat, the team was considerate of neighbors, working efficiently to minimize any inconvenience to the abutting properties. They took great care to protect shrubs and the patio area. The painters were respectful and personable. It was a pleasure doing business with them. We could not recommend FTS Painting Company more highly!

The project went extremely well. These guys are a family operation and they were quick to quote, gave a very fair and competitive price and were on the job immediately. They took two days to perform the work. They cleaned up after themselves. They communicated well and the work was done to my complete satisfaction. They may be coming back to paint, which hasn't started yet, since I am doing some work to patch walls, etc. but I would highly recommend FTS painting for any job based on my experience with them.

They were fine. They got the job done a lot faster. There were 2 of them and they got here at 8 and they were done by quarter till 11. They did beautiful work but I didn't feel like it was a good Big Deal for me. They did what they were supposed to do, it's not their fault they worked so fast. They cleaned up, I just have no complaints about them. Fast, efficient. If I had called someone over to give me an estimate, I don't think I would have paid as much.

Felipe and his crew did an amazing job with our house - from the beginning planning stages where they applied multiple samples until we found the exact colors we liked, all the way through the final accent touches on the house. He and his crew were friendly, courteous and always available to answer any questions we had. They replaced any damaged trim they came across and were more than happy to accommodate any additional requests we had. We would not hesitate to use them again down the road.
Description of Work: We had a large Victorian which needed to be repainted along with a front and back deck that needed sanding and re-staining and a fence around the property that also needed to be refinished.

It went very well. They are terrific and they actually did more than we agreed upon. They arrived on time and finished on time. They cleaned up and are very professional. I am very happy with the careful work and all the carpentry work they did. They did a great job where they needed to replace wood. This was the second time I hired FTS. They also replaced a ceiling indoors last year due to storm damage. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: FTS Painting did much more than painting. They power washed, scraped, primed the entire house and painted. In addition, I had a lot of wood rot due to bad gutters and age. They replaced many trim boards, siding boards, around window boards. They also removed all storm windows and washed them.

I was extremely pleased with the work Felipe, Victor and their crew did. I did not know these guys until they came by to look at the house and quote the job. After meeting with them I felt they were professional and would do what they said they would. After considering a number of painters I decided to go with them. They did an excellent job. They explained what they would do, what paints and primers they would use and why they chose them. They provided us guidance when we had questions and I felt as though everything was explained. The crew worked hard the entire time they were here. When there were weather delays they contacted me early in the morning to let me know they would not be coming. They cleaned up after themselves and let the front and back yard as they found it. I would recommend anyone looking for painting work at least consider these guys. We are very pleased with the work done and I would definitely use them again.

Fantastic experience. Felipe and Jose were prompt, polite and extremely hard workers. The quality of their work and attention to detail is why it is important to find and hire the right professionals to do a job. Very pleased with their work. They certainly increased the value of our home well beyond the cost of their service. I plan to use them again in the near future.

Felipe and one more guy from his crew showed up and worked for 8 hours straight without stopping. They did a good thorough job. At the end of the day, they hadn't finished the 4th bedroom, so I arranged for them to come back the next day and finish the last bedroom for an additional fee. They cleaned up extremely well after they finished all the work and were very professional. They also used drop cloths to protect my personal belongings. I was hoping to get them out to paint and complete the work on the house, and we told them what we wanted done, but we never received an estimate to get the rest of the work completed despite twice asking for the estimate to be sent.

Did not get to living room because of extra patching and do overs. Initially went over job and expectations. Asked to patch 2 holes in bedroom only but patched a hole in bath that was supposed to be left open for light installation. Did not patch hole around mirror that should have been patched if any which i did not ask them to do. They had door closed in bath so i did not realize until it was done. B- job and wasted time. Walls ok but did not use tape for straight lines and Not good at cutting in. Tried to make up for it w caulking. Ceilings are white but going in all directions. Made a good effort w little area patches but visible in bedroom ceiling and kitchen walls. Furniture and floors were covered so no paint where shouldnt be. Good w clean up and neat but lots of work for me removing and replacing fixtures, elec. Plates, furnishings, curtains and moving furniture. Nice young men but didnt appreciate one of them stepping on my radiator as a stool and leaving footprints which they did fix when asked. Could not do bathroom ceiling as ran out of time and paint because I asked them to redo dining room and kitchen ceilings going just one way because of uneven coverage. So living room still needs to be done and house will stay in disarray until i hire someone else. Total sq. Footage 800 feet. I think if better communication and attention to detail first time around there would have been less wasted time and living room could have been done. Dont think I will buy by the hour again. Better to hire by the job so expectations are clear and job gets done. Im disappointed that I still have an unfinished house that cant be put back together.

I contracted FTS Painting to strip the wallpaper from one large room for the price quoted. Since they finished sooner than 16 hours (two people times 8 hour day) I had them strip the wallpaper from a small bathroom. They also did some minor repairs on the walls so that I could start painting.

Very responsive when I reached out. Came out to the house quickly, friendly, and provided an estimate for the work. Scheduled the work quickly too. Said that they would try to double staff the job to get it done within one day, but did not send enough people initially. I questioned the roughness of the first coat but was told that the second coat that would be applied later in the day would be very smooth. I wasn't able to be on site for the remainder of the day. When I returned to the house a few days later, the job was done but the walls and ceilings were rough. Many ridges from the trowel that will require a lot of sanding. This may be more work than I can do with a powered hand sander. When I spoke with the company, they said that this was normal and it was a miscommunication that the surface would be smooth. I expected the walls to be smooth enough to move on to priming (maybe with a few places to sand/fill), but I was wrong. Will ask more questions next time.
Description of Work: Patched holes in a ceiling then skim coated ceiling and walls in 10x11 foot room, also skim coated hallway ceiling.
