Description of Work: Fantastic job painting the first floor, stairways, hall and upper bathroom - committed to do the job while we were away on vacation and it was done as promised. Clean up was great. Quality of work was good enough that I will definitely use them again. Went the extra mile to source and install molding missing after ceiling replastering. Overall a very satisfying experience!

Description of Work: I was impressed overall with my experience with Abe Schickel. Thought the overall price was high for one coat on the house. In addition the project required trim installation and Abe gave a good referral but that also came in higher than expected. Otherwise I would have used Abe for the project

Description of Work: Had to call a few times to get a hold of this company. Once I was in touch and informed the company that I need a painting service for a tenant apartment, I was told they usually don't get hired for tenant apartments because they tend to be on the pricey side. That was the end of the conversation.

Description of Work: Abe scheduled a visit to view my house in need of exterior painting. He advised me to have serious scraping done, said he did not do this himself, indicated a company he thought did, and gave me estimate of how much a lightly scraped job might cost. There was no follow-up necessary.

Description of Work: I called Abe to give me an estimate of painting the interior of a rental apartment. He returned my call promptly and we met several days later to inspect the apartment. Three days later I received his estimate. Since this is a rental apartment that needs other extensive work, and being on a limited budget, Abe's estimate was too high forthis apartment. However, Aber painted my house in 2006 and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend him if you want quality work.

Please see above.
Description of Work: I have a large 5 bedroom house that is in need of exterior painting so that it can be sold. I contacted Abe's office and was told that Abe would not be willing to come to my home to complete an estimate unless I was present. I explained to the secretary that I work every day but could be available at 5:30 one evening this week. Abe was only available between 9 and 5 for the next 10 days. Other painters were very accommodating and had no issue with coming by the house, completing a quote, and leaving it in the mailbox. Too bad for Abe.
