haven't heard from him.
Response from John Butts
"I'm sorry for the mix up. I had not put a new deal on Angie's list. They put it on wihout ever checking with me. This is my busy season. When I got the message that a deal was sold, I tried to contact my rep, [Angie's List employee name removed]. With no call back I sent you a message. Then sent [Angie's list employee name removed] a message and left one on his phone. I told him I needed to talk with him. Instead he sent my message to [Angie's List employee name removed] , she sent me an email. I called her. She said her job was only to take deals off of the list. She did check and apologize for the mistake. She also told me to call [Angie's List employee name removed] and that he would have to take care of it. I left messages on his phone an email, asked for him to call me. I did eventually get an email from [Angie's List employee name removed]. He apologized and said he would take care of it. He thought a refund to you would be the thing to do. He said he would get back to me to let me know. I didn't get any news, in fact, the $279.00 I get when I finish a job appeared in my checking account. I got another email from [Angie's List employee name removed] in which he apologized and said he never heard from the one he contacted to give you a refund. I think they sent me the money instead.He even said I should tell you to call and get a refund. I felt it was thier job to fix it not yours. I then called rep [Angie's List employee name removed]. Told him what has happened. I said I will do the job but I needed the whole $399.00. I told him I felt making you wait any longer wasn't right. I thought that way we would at least have a satisfied client. He apologized and told me that he would find out and get back to me. That was 5 days ago. No answer. I will try again to fix this... Sorry you are in the middle of this. I hope someone has talked to you from Angie's list. You can call me at 207-776-0569, or wait for me or someone to get in touch with you."

John performed his work with professionalism; asking about the exact details.  He is a kind and pleasant man who cared if you were satisfied with the completed project.  THE most important thing about thing about Mr. John Butts is that he is honest and cares deeply in the work he is doing.  Who can trust this man to do what you ask him to do.

John Butts did a great job. My experience with him was very good and he was very professional. He fixed everything without doing any major replacement. When he was done, it looked like a brand new room.  He was reasonable. He came 3 or 4 times because he has to let the plaster dry. He's very personable and a very pleasant person to deal with.

It was very smooth. Everything was explained to me. I was given options. They were of course in my home but not intrusive. They even acted like they liked my yappy dog. My dog definitely liked them.

I built a lavatory and laundry room in an empty space off the kitchen.  I hung the wallboard myself and asked John to see if he would be interested in mudding and priming.  He came to the house the day after I called and gave me his estimate.  I hired him on the spot and he gave me dates when he would do the job which he stuck to.  It took him 3 days to do the job and the job was ready for trim out.

Service went well. Contacted them on the phone, was given several references, all glowing reports.  Met them at the house to be worked on, they had removed all the wall paper, repaired areas that need touch up.  Gave all walls two coats of paint.  Looks great!  Great Job!

We came home from a sunny trip in Florida to find that a water pip burst upstairs in my 2 story house and ruined the entire upstairs and the bathroom and back room of the downstairs. Because of all the damage we had to use our insurance and had a few people come give estimates.  
As for the painting section John Butts was the by far the best. His labor worked out to be about $200 a day (8-9 hrs), which was half off one of the estimates, and he makes sure to clean up after everyday which was nice because I?ve had people before leave my house looking like a tornado hit it.  
Their great to talk with and the work was both outstanding and fast and I recommend him to anyone looking for a painter.
