The estimator arrived on time and was very thorough but did not waste my time. Our house is very old but they transformed our living room walls and ceilings completely and fixed all small cracks in the plaster where necessary. We have very old, multi-pieced baseboard heating and every component was painted meticulously. The workers were very careful to keep any mess contained to the room in which they were working, which has not been my experience with all painting contractors. They were also very professional in manner and did not intrude on the household in any manner. The painting of the interior of the fireplace had been overlooked by both of us in the original estimate but the painters quickly and willingly took care of this without additional charge. Once all the painting was completed we could not find a single flaw, not on the baseboards, window sills or where the ceilings meet the walls. This company is on the expensive side but if you want perfection they do deliver.
Description of Work: We hired William E. Connolly & Sons to paint our large living room because we were so happy with the very professional job that they did on our kitchen the year before. They also agreed, for a reasonable additional charge, to touch up wear and tear in other parts of our house that did not need a complete repainting but needed refreshing.

He told me to put my complaint in writing, and I sent a registered letter. It was delivered twice, and the post office had verified it was refused both times. If you do not want your painting completed, and you want your property damaged, contact Wm E Connolly.
Description of Work: They warped the ceiling on my front porch by using a heat gun the wrong way. They removed my front door bell, and when they put it back it was missing the center part, resulting in not having a door bell since they left. I fell on my way upstairs the first day they were here because the drop cloth was put down haphazardly. I fell on my face, and my shoulder and arm are damaged. The ceiling in the entry hall had brown spots that he was going to come back and take care of, but he never came back. They were supposed to caulk my windows and doors on the first floor - and the largest one was never touched. The others have cracks and separations where the caulking was not done. My kitchen was supposed to be painted the same color it is now and he said the kick board did not need painting. I am now missing an unopened gallon of Sears paint, and no one else had access to my basement but them. The bathroom in the basement was used and there was defecation all over. I don't think at the age of 77 I should have to clean up after 3 men.
