Michael Rafferty

I liked the promptness and providing something written.

When I initially contacted this roofer, he came out and gave us an estimate of $3500. At that time, we discussed the type of paint he would use on our metal roof (fibrous paint) and that he would remove all the old loose paint, and the paint would be either rolled or brushed on. My husband contacted him to ask some additional questions after we received his estimate, which we thought was high. After some conversation, he agreed to complete the work for a lower price ($2700). He did finally complete the work today (in approximately 4 hours). Mr. Rafferty sprayed the roof, did not use fibrous paint, and did not remove all of the loose paint prior to completing the work. There is also overspray on the windows, the flashing around the windows, the gutters, and the siding. When asked about the type of paint, he denied we ever had a conversation about the fibrous paint and said he didn't use that type of paint. When asked about spraying, he said that was what was discussed. I feel like I just got completely screwed out of my money and am left with a roof that looks worse than before. I'm beyond disappointed. Would not hire him again and definitely would NOT RECOMMEND!

Excellent work and service. Highly recommend.

Excellent in very way

After my terrible experience with George's Painting, I had called Mike Rafferty and some other painters. Mike had called and had set up a date for an estimate. The other painters either were booked up or just didn't want to do the job because my house was built around 1926. Mike came out and went over what I needed to have completed but he even gave me quotes, if I didn't want to have everything completed at one time, so after going over the plan and the price, I was sold. The bonus was that Mike could start the job in two weeks, the day after labor day. Mike and his crew came by just as expected and had completed the job the same day, which I was amazed but more important the work was Awesome, this was no small job folks, but Mike completed it and also did a couple of favors for me as well, so needless to say his customer service far exceeded what I had expected. He does have one retouch to do but to be honest it may take him about 15 minutes and that is all. My wife and I are very excited about the job, Mike and his crew completed and again I must reiterate the price was fair, the job again was Awesome, plus the clean up after the project had been completed was the icing on the cake. Thank You Mike Rafferty for a job well done and I will use your services again in the future.

Our experience with Rafferty Painting was very positive. They are professional, responsive and provide quality work. We called Mike on Thursday afternoon about getting an estimate, thinking it would be several days before that could be arranged. However, they were working on a job not too distant from our property and offered to come by that same day. Patrick arrived in about an hour, reviewed what we needed to have done and gave us a fair estimate for the work. He said the work would be done very soon, though hard to predict due to the rainy pattern of weather we'd been experiencing. Sure enough, Patrick and his crew arrived on Monday morning and went straight to work. They finished the entire job in one day and did an outstanding job. After searching for a long time, it was wonderful to finally find a company that specializes in metal roof painting, and provides quality service. We highly recommend this company.

The entire experience from beginning to end was hassle free. Mike was punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. He returned my calls, was there when he said he would be, and did the work without incident. He even gave me an added bonus by tinting the roof paint the color of my shutters, which looks great!! I would highly recommend Mike!! A++

Rafferty's are very professional and respectful. When the work was finished Rafferty asked if I was satisfied with the work that was performed and if not they would make it right. The job was done perfectly, I would definitely recommend them.

Mr. Rafferty was very professional and prompt, and his painter performed services as specified--in just 1 day! The painter cleaned up well after himself and was very careful. This job was somewhat difficult because the deck floor was one color and the pickets and rails were another color. I ended up sanding worn deck surfaces myself because I was concerned about stain adhering to deck (even though the power washing alone would probably have been sufficient).

I have a large red brick home I wanted to paint white, including front functional shutters and back nonfunctional ones. The job presented many challenges. First of all, the brick's rough texture and 60 year old brick meant that several coats had to be applied. The entire structure first had to be power washed, then painted with a sealer. Patrick and Michael Rafferty began the job the day after the contract was signed. The painting began during the few warmer days in January, and continued a few weeks later after the severe cold weather had abated. Then they ordered and replaced shutters as necessary. Their attention to detail was very good, even removing downspouts, cleaning and painting them before replacing. They are extremely prompt and courteous and were on the job every day without interruption until completed; they wasted NO time. I must emphasize this was a very large, rather involved job. I cannot attest to price because I did not get other quotes; I did this because I have used them for 20 years or more on several of of my farm outbuildings and they always did an excellent job.

Professional job, on time and on budget.

Mike arrived promptly on time for his estimate. He was very professional. He communicated well (this is a HUGE plus--I have found that getting contractors to communicate with you is a problem these days). He responds to email and voice mail/telephone very well. I felt his prices were very fair. When I arrived home from work, the job was complete and I was more than satisfied. There was no mess for me to clean up. It was like he was never there except it looked like I had a new roof. I will be getting estimates from Mike to do exterior painting this fall along with sealing my driveway.
