They power washed, filled woodpecker holes, replaced damaged cedar shakes and siding and recaulked. We had workers here every day til the job was finished. Dan Brady has a top notch, well run business, the work was beautifully executed and his supervisors (Alex and Jason) were terrific.

Description of Work: I purchased their coupon for eight hours of labor, when he came to the house he did not mention any problems with the room but was eager to give a bid for a larger space which included two small rooms and a hall way. Instead of $400, he waned to do the additional rooms for $10,000! We informed him that we decided to use the purchased time of eight hours. We were told that he was very busy and they would subcontract with another painter for the work and we agreed to pay for additional hours if necessary. We then received a letter with a refund that said that they wouldn'do it since we weren't going to contract for the additional $9,600. This all took place over five months. It appears to be unethical practice bait and switch and using Angie's List as a method to misrepresent the proposed work. I am very disappointed and frustrated that it took so long and had such an unsatisfactory result.

Response from DAN BRADY PAINTING & WOOD RESTORATION
We take pride in both our finish products and our superior customer service and are very sorry you are unhappy. We have apologized numerous times; however, your review is lacking accuracy. We did not "bait & switch" as you suggest nor did we ever state that we wouldn't complete the work unless you had other additional work done for $9,600.00 (we believe you must be referring to the exterior work - not interior work which was specifically stated as a condition of the promotion when you made the purchase from Angie's List. You were given 2 personalized proposals (1 exterior & 1 interior), both of which had multiple options on areas that you requested (listed below): Proposal 1 - Exterior: Pressure wash exterior of house. Remove vines from house. Fill woodpecker holes with Big Stretch caulk or Flec-Tech Repair technology whichever is appropriate for holes. Remove and replace any failing caulking following the same caulking pattern that is currently on the house (do to board and batten construction there is not much caulking on this house). Mask all windows prior to painting, metal clad windows will not be painted, wood window trim will be painted the same color as the house. Apply one coat solid color stain to exterior of house, same color or a green that (removed member name) would like. Investment for above=$9,500.00 Investment to pressure wash and sand all loose paint/stain off exterior decks and re-stain= $4,900.00 Main deck- Carpentry work- remove enough decking boards from main deck so the rotted lower siding can be removed(1-2ft) and replaced with an appropriate size trim board, caulk, prime and paint trim board. Investment for above = $1,300.00 *Please keep in mind that I cannot see behind the rotted boards, if the wood behind the siding needs to be replaced we will let you know and a change order must be put in place. Backside of garage- remove rotted wood, replace with an appropriate side trim board, caulk, prime and paint trim board same color as house(please keep in mind for carpentry work only rotted wood will be removed and replace with trim board, new siding and battens are not going to be put in) Investment for above= $850.00 Proposal 2 – Interior Main floor area (living room, kitchen, hallways, stairway, upstairs hallway, & loft: Walls, ceilings, Paneled Doors (10), baseboards-Doors that are not currently painted: we will not be painting (we will be painting the painted frames). -Above surfaces will get one coat of eggshell paint to match existing color. -(removed member name) will be responsible for moving small items out of our way. -We will cover wall items (Flat screen TV, new wall heater etc. so they do not need to be removed). -As part of proposal we will repair drywall damage on ceiling in living room (apply new popcorn texture) and repaint. -Per my discussion with (removed member name) we will fix small cracks with our crack fix adhesive (works well). *Due to the expansion and contraction in walls due to northern Michigan weather we cannot guarantee drywall repairs. Investment for above= $8,300.00(less 15% winter discount ($1,245.00) less ($400.00) Angie's List certificate) Investment for above with discounts= $6,655.00 Investment for above for just walls and ceilings with Angie's list discount= $4,800.00 As you can see, neither proposal had a pricing option of $10k as you stated. I think the miscommunication came when you did not ask for a third option to have the "high work only" done; if you had requested pricing on that third option, you would have realized that the scope of work you expected to be done (high work) was much more than that could be completed in 8 hours. We were not requested to provide pricing for the high work as you can see above, so we are somewhat at a loss as to how you reached the conclusion that we would be able to complete the high work in the 8 hours allotted. The person you referred to as a sub-contractor (Mr. M.) confirmed this to you on multiple occasions and tried to explain this to you just as we did. In a discussion we had over this situation, Mr. D. estimated that, at most, he would only be able to cut in about half of your room. As stated in your letter, we felt that you would be unhappy with those results, therefore we refunded your money --- it had nothing to do what so ever with trying to sell any of the other options (that you requested) listed on either proposal as you claim. We were also very up front in stating anything over the 8 hours would be charged at a rate of $50.00 per hour. Additionally, we gave you special pricing for the interior work even though you were using the Angie’s List promotion which you purchased for half the cost it normally would be priced at. We invite anyone who is considering working with us on an upcoming project to go to our website and review our Report Card System in which we welcome feedback from our clients. Each client is given a Closing Packet during the walk-through at the end of a project that contains a Report Card to grade us on several aspects. These Report Cards are then uploaded to our website for all to read. We high encourage our clients to complete and return the Report Cards, each are reviewed and discussed completely by all staff members in hopes of always trying to make things better, whether it be related to the office staff, efficiency, overall value, etc.

Description of Work: They painted the master bedroom for the initial purchase price advertised on Angies List, but charged an additional fee for the hallway leading to the room. It took a long time for them to schedule us, but the wait was worth it. I definitely would use them again.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review regarding your experience with us. We decided to run this promo specifically so we could complete the work over the winter months (this allows us to keep a more consistent work flow and keep our crews busy year round) and to encourage the Angie's List members to give us a try. We are very happy you are so pleased with the finished effect. Thank you again and have a safe and happy holiday season.

I did not have Dan do the work because my condo association said the contractor would do it, and that I should cancel Dan. I will call him if I have further exterior or interior painting to be done.
Description of Work: Gave me an estimate to scrape and paint trim around two outside doors. He was friendly and informative, and the price seemed reasonable.

The house finish looked great. However now the calk is pulling away, so it already needs to be redone. The deck was the last thing for them to do. They were to power wash first, then stain. They said I needed to stay away so I did not step on the wet deck. When I returned home that day, they had stained over the dirt, using a dull brown stain, not the one I picked out. The foreman actually said and quot;ya, I had hoped that would have come cleaner' when I pointed out the dark tree sap under the stain. Mr. Brady came out that night. He was very upset with me ( tears in his eyes) that I did not mention how great the house looked before telling him about the problem with the deck. He promised he would be back, sand off all the brown and dirt; and re -stain. I withheld $1,000 from the final payment just in case. I have never heard from him again. Because he was so emotional I do not feel comfortable calling him to ask him to finish. I will just have to have someone else sand and properly finish my deck.
Description of Work: I hire Dan Brady to refinish my log home, deck and deck railing. They were also to re calk all the windows. This was done before I joined Angie's list.

Response from DAN BRADY PAINTING & WOOD RESTORATION
Dan Brady Painting and Wood Restoration strives to provide the highest level of customer service. Because [member name removed] was dissatisfied with the service we reduced her bill by $1,100. I am surprised to read this review two years after the project was completed and I thought we had resolved her issues with the project. Let me specifically address her complaints about the quality of the work: • The caulk pulling away from the windows: The windows of this home had never been caulked before my crew worked here. Our understanding is that it was also over a decade since the house was cleaned and stained. We caulked the windows with a caulk made specifically for log homes because log homes experience more expansion and contraction than typical site-built homes because of the way they’re built. Caulking is an ongoing maintenance issue for any home, especially in our Northern climate. This year’s harsh winter would have caused greater than usual contraction, which is the likely cause of the caulk pulling away from the windows. How much a house contracts during the winter is not something that I – or any other painter – can control. • Dark tree sap under the stain: Because the deck had not been cleaned or stained for many years the long term tree sap stains were impossible to remove completely. I invite you to view photos of my crew power washing the deck at [member name removed]’s home. Our before and after pictures of this job, which can be viewed by clicking this link ([hyperlink removed]) show the night and day difference in the deck’s appearance before and after power washing. We encourage readers of [member name removed]’s review and our response to judge for themselves. • The color of the stain: The deck was stained with the product [member name removed] picked out. Often stains do look different when applied than they do on the color chips. That’s influenced by a number of factors including the type of wood used to build the deck, the age of the wood and how long it’s been since the deck was last stained. The longer a deck has weathered the more stain it will absorb and the darker the stain will appear. At Dan Brady Painting and Wood Restoration we use a report card system to allow each client the chance to provide valuable feedback on the quality of our work. Each card is reviewed with staff and then posted to our website. Those cards are posted on our website and I invite the readers of this review to check out these cards by visiting [hyperlink removed]. I also encourage readers of these posts to check out our Google Reviews by searching on Google for Dan Brady Painting and Wood Restoration.

They are phenomenal! They're fast, they're good and they're fun to have around. We've had them work for us several times since that first visit - doing everything from repairing and repainting a water damaged ceiling to repainting scuffed walls.
Description of Work: I first met Dan through a business networking group and we started working together on some promotion of his business. I got to see the work that Dan's crew did first hand and knew they were the ones we wanted to do some repainting for us.

Very professional company. When first called for an estimate the company owner Dan Brady was prompt with scheduling a walk around the house assessing our needs and had a quote back to us within days. The office manager Amy was always available for questions and concerns and promptly handled any last minute details with our paint crew. She also kept us informed of any changes in time or delays. When we had questions or concerns we seldom had to wait for resolution. The paint crew we had were respectful of our property, cleaned up after themselves and were prompt, patient and always had time for our questions and concerns. They were also very knowledgeable about paint products and application. The best experience we had was when we and the contractor had an issue of sanding the front deck. Without hesitation Dan followed the wording in our contract and the crew sanded off our front deck right down to the wood and provided us with a most beautiful finished product. They worked a whole day just prepping the surface. He also adjusted pricing on painting our storm door frames as he had interpreted we wanted our exterior entry doors painted. I would use this company again for any interior or exterior painting. Prompt, friendly and fair. They are a very community minded organization as well, donating to charity projects.
