I was pleased with the overall work. From my conversation with Jonathan..to meeting and explaining the job request, I was pleased with the actual workers..They worked hard to get the entire job done. They left my kitchen painted beautifully, and mess free! Great overall experience.
Description of Work: The workers were punctual. The forman arrived a little later than the painters. However, he was very nice and professional. I explained what I wanted done, and they began working. The forman went to get more paint needed for the workers. The workers painted my kitchen and breakfast room. All trim and ceiling was painted white. I had a few drywall repairs needed on the ceiling of my kitchen, from previous water damage, and age of the house. I bought 1 gallon and a quart of paint..But I needed one more gallon. As I stated earlier, the forman went to get another gallon of paint. When I returned home later that day, the workers were cleaning up. I loved the work. I saw one area of trim that needed another coat. The workers agreed, and immediately painted that small area. Their work was clean and skillfully done. I have had many dramatic experiences with contractors in the past. Which is why I joined Angie list. This experience was frustration free. I was very relieved that tis experience went very smoothly. Thank you Angie List for the recommendation! I will call this company again. If the experience would be the same.

I had an excellent experience with Hands on painters previously for drywall work and painting so I jumped at this special when I saw it come through. Just as I hoped, the painter/drywall specialist Eddie was meticulous and the numerous areas of damage can no longer be identified (he painted the different spots with the original paint colors that I provided). He spent the first 4 hours on the basic drywall holes and damage (8 spots) and the last 3 hours on the tricky area around the lights in 2 bathrooms that involved repair, priming, and sponge painting to blend in with the existing work. When scheduling drywall repair, it is important that at least 4 hours is allotted so that there is time for the repair to dry before it can be painted (he used a heat gun to assist the drying). Eddie came on time, worked hard the whole time, and was very pleasant to deal with. The Big Deal charge for 4 hours was $129 and the additional hourly charge was $45 /hr ($135 for 3 hours). Well worth it for his top workmanship.
Description of Work: 5 drywall holes patched and painted. 3 areas of drywall damage scraped, patched, and painted. 2 areas of wall repair, patching, and sponge painting- the hollywood bathroom lights had been taken down revealing that the sponge painted walls were on top of wallpaper that had been cut around the light base. This left a rectangular cutout above my mirror with the original dark blue paint underneath. The wallpaper edges had to be sanded smooth, the drywall holes filled in and the area primed and painted to match the existing sponge painting.

First, the worker was EARLY!!! That never happens; normally, I'm kept waiting for workers to come. He went right to work of repairing areas in my drywall. He made sure that all furniture was moved, where needed, and he covered all areas up with tarp. I even received a visit from the owner, who made sure that the job was being done, well. I would definitely recommend this company to others. I do plan on having additional work done, by them.

A fine experience. The company scheduled the service on a day convenient for us, confirmed the day before coming, brought all supplies and materials needed except for the paint (which we had purchased), completed and cleaned up within the allotted time period.
Description of Work: My husband recently had shoulder surgery and was unable to complete painting a tall hallway/stair area. I purchased four hours of painting service under a special offer ($75. for $150. of service) and we paid additionally for a second painter to come during the same time period.

It was a two man team who worked non stop to get the job done in one day. They covered up everything and cleaned up before they left. It was a big job and I appreciated that they pushed to finish in one day and not to inconvenience me for another day. The drywall repair was exceptional and made the painting look great. I did feel that the price was a littlle high and I wish that the senior discount was more then 5%..most companies offerred 10% in this field.

When Cesar finished repainting, the room was perfect. I appreciated both the quick response to my concerns from the office, and Cesar's extremely pleasant and professional manner at each visit.
Description of Work: Water damage ruined the plaster walls in one of the bedrooms. Cesar arrived on time and prepped the upstairs room, including protecting stairway with dropcloth. He did an incredible job replacing all the cracked, blistered sections. He then painted the ceiling and all four walls. It looked beautiful. After the paint dried, however, two corners of the room were see-through and needed repainting. I emailed shots of the areas to the office. They called immediately and scheduled Cesar for a return visit to repaint the room at my convenience.

I was very happy with the quality of the work. The company's employees were responsive and easy to communicate with. I dealt with the company via email (sent them pictures of the work to be done), then telephone to set up the appointment. Two people came to the house the day the work was done, a manager and a repairman/painter. The manager reviewed the work and made sure adequate materials were available. The painter stayed to do the work and did so in a very professional manner.

Within 4 hours, my walls were imperfection free, smooth like a ceiling, without seams and glue. It was then ready to be pained. I was stunned on how beautiful the painter made the walls look.

The job went very well from start to finish. The one man crew arrived right on time and was careful to prepare the room before starting. Cesar was so personable and took great care to make sure the furniture and carpet were covered and protected. He removed the damaged portions of drywall, did the repairs, sanded, primed and finished the room off by painting the ceiling. It looks terrific and just like new.

We had a very good experience from start to finish. Jonathon was very thorough, punctual and professional in all our dealings. The work was completed in a timely manner. The site manager came by twice to check on things and ensure that everything was going smoothly. The painters were courteous and skilled. We are very happy with our experience and are planning to have more painting done in the future with this company. We recommend them without reservation.

Great. The repairman was a little late arriving (23-30 minutesk, but it was no problem. Once he arrived he immediately got to work and taped up the pantry with plastic so that the dust wouldn't escape from the room. He also wore booties over his shoes, as not the track the dust through the house. He worked consistently for the entire four hour period until the job was complete. He vacuumed up the pantry and wiped up what little dust there was in the kitchen and hallway when he was done. I can't tell you how happy I am to have a good looking pantry without the the holes and missing plaster. I will definitely be calling this company back for more jobs in this old house. They have a great Angie's List price even without the special. You should check them out - don't think you'll be disappointed.

It went great from start (proposal) to finish (re-hanging my blinds). The workers were very detail oriented, clean and helpful. It was a 2 day job and they plugged my router and TV back in for me so I could use it that night. I can't stress how clean they left things and how well they protected the furniture that I had to leave in the rooms they painted. I am having new flooring done in 2 days and they told me to call them if I needed touch up afterwards.

When they first did the job, it looked like there were polka dots everywhere when it was finished. I called them to ask about it and they were extremely nice and pleasant. They came out right away and fixed it at no additional charge. They were punctual and very professional. It is clear that they stand by their work. Everything was great and I'd recommend them.

They did a great job! They gave a very prompt estimate and they were very honest about when they could get to us. They were very clear about everything. They seemed to have enough crews that it was reasonable to do the job in the time frame we needed. They were able to work our job in earlier. Each of their team members were easy to work and communicate with. We did run into a little bit of a challenge between the teams doing each job. There were some pieces of trim that they were okay with leaving there, but we didn't think would hold up over time. Project management could have been a little bit tighter. When I called the project manager, he would always speak with me over the phone and would rather have me send photos instead of him coming back out. I feel that the job could have been completed a bit faster if they were aware of each job that was completed each day. I am very happy with the work. Ultimately, the work was completed in the time frame that was estimated.
Description of Work: We hired them to paint the exterior and pressure wash our home. They also completed some carpentry work on the trim to repair any deteriorated wood trim.

In both instances they showed up right on time and had me walk them through the work I needed done so they were clear on what I needed done. They were diligent on setting up the rooms prior to doing the work (carefully covering the floors, counter tops, etc.) and were equally careful about cleaning up afterwards. The work itself seemed good, and the work they did on the kitchen ceiling seems to have resolved the peeling issue. They also seemed to have done a good job lowering the gutters to be even with the neighboring houses (I live in a row house) so they are no longer pushing up the roof shingles, which was causing water to come in to the bedroom. Their work was good and their price seemed reasonable. I would consider using them again. NOTE ON ANGIE's BIG DEAL: The first time I hired HOP was through one of Angie's Big Deal, $200 for 4 hours of handyman work (that's $50/hour) with a regular value advertised at over $400. I went over the 4 hours the first time, and then of course hire them again. In both cases they charged me $55/hour. At $55/hour, that means 4 hours of handyman work regularly costs $220, so I am not sure why the Big Deal advertised a value of $400. That means it was only a 10% discount as opposed to a 50% discount. I don't know how those values are determined, or who determines it (Angie's List or the vendor), but in this case the Big Deal wasn't as deep a discount as advertised.
Description of Work: I actually used Hands On Painters (HOP) twice. I first bought one of Angie's List's Big Deals for 4 hours of handyman services for $200 in January 2012. They changed out all the ceiling fixtures with metal boxes so I can put in ceiling fans, took down an old tv antenna off my roof, and checked some repairs that needed to be done on the roof and gutters (I had water coming into the master bedroom under the roof shingles). However, they couldn't do the roof/gutter work because the roof shingles were too brittle. They told me they would need to come back in the warmer weather when the shingles could be tacked down without cracking. The second time they came back was in November 2012 (fortunately it was still warm enough to do the roof/gutter work). They repaired the roof shingles and lowered the gutters, scraped and repainted the kitchen ceiling (it was peeling badly) and also changed the kitchen ceiling fixture, installing a metal box to support a ceiling fan. (It was this trip that had a bill of $880.)

Great job. My wife and I are extremely pleased.
Description of Work: This company did a fantastic job on every room they worked in. In the master bedroom, they repaired a 3' diameter hole in the plaster ceiling, numerous cracks in the walls, installed crown molding in a room that did not have a square corner in it, refinished window sills, and painted. Very professional employees that cleaned up after each day's work. It looks TERRIFIC! In the kitchen, they prepped the ceiling that was covered in ancient wallpaper and applied a skim coat. Prime and painted it. Again, TERRIFIC job! On the exterior porch, they prepped, calked, primed, and painted 9 new fiberglass pillars/poles. They look great! I cannot think of one tiny thing they did wrong. Super work and great people to deal with. They will be back in our home this spring for additional work.
