Description of Work: I got an estimate from Tom O'Leary for painting my daughter's cupboard doors. I had 17 doors and even though he offered me a good deal, it was still a bit out of my price range. However, he brought a sample of his work (in the form of a cupboard door he had refinished previously) and it was beautiful! He obviously does great work and takes pride in a job well done. He actually spent quite a bit of time telling me how to do the work myself! What a nice guy. I really appreciated all the pointers and info. If I ever do hire someone for a similar job, based on both his professionalism and samples of his work, I would not hesitate to hire him!

We really like him. I thought it was reasonable. The only thing about him is that he'll say some time that he's coming but he doesn't. He's a nice guy. He's reputable and he does a good work.
Description of Work: He painted all the kitchen covers and cabinets.

Description of Work: Tom was great to work with, providing a very complete and accurate estimate of the work to be done. The projects spanned across a few more days than anticipated, but the work was high quality and we are very pleased with the results. We are already thinking through some possible projects for next year!

Tom is amazing! He gives creative suggestions and is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of carpentry and painting. He currently removed an old railing and installed a new railing in living room and dining room. I had many nail holes, old patches, and uneven spots on the walls and Tom patched and skimmed the walls and then painted them. They look brand new! Several years ago Tom had framed walls, installed a closet and designed a kitchen in my basement for a rental unit and it turned out magnificent! I would highly recommend Tom!
Description of Work: Installed stair railings. He skimmed the walls and painted. He put on new doors and moldings.

I contacted this provider (O'Leary Painting and Wood Refinishing) several weeks ago. He was relatively prompt (over weekend) in responding to my call. We set up a date and time and he showed up promptly to review the work. I live in an old home where the wood work around the windows and baseboards have been painted over several times and was not easy to estimate the time and effort it would take to complete. However, the Provider and I agreed to select an area in the home (at a set price) where he could prove his work and skill then he could determine how much work would be involved in doing a larger area. The work (a tri-window) turned out wonderfully! I am pleased with how the window turned out and I have asked for additional work to be quoted. The Provider is a craftsman and took time (3 Monday's) in doing the work, was respectful of my home, cleaned up after himself and made suggestions on how to cover a very bad blemish under the window. What a nice job! Hire O'Leary but not until next year...I'll be keeping him busy thru the rest of 2013. He even helped me repair my doorbell on his way out.
Description of Work: Stripped and Stained a Tri-Window in the living room

Super job, finished on time and exceeded my expectations!
Description of Work: Tom refinished our kitchen and laundry room cabinet doors so they look as nice as new. He removed the old finish, touched up the color/stain and then re finished the clear coat so the cabinet doors looked like new! Tom was highly professional, provided a fair price, delivered what he promised, on time. Tom is a nice AND professional man to do business wirth, honest and experienced. When I save up for the next big home improvement project that involves things that Tom does, he will get my first phone call!

We called Tom O'Leary to see if he was interested in refinishing our kitchen cabinets. He was at our house within a day or two to review the project and give us a fixed price. His price seemed reasonable and the time line for the project fit our needs. He took the 35 cabinet doors and 12 drawers to his shop for refinishing and then spent 11/2 days in our kitchen refinishing the cabinet frame and then reassembling everything. It now looks "as good as new". We are very satisfied with the work Tom did for us
Description of Work: Had kitchen cabinets refinished by cleaning, sanding and applying 2 coats of polyurethane.

Thank you very much for the nice review--I truly appreciate it! It was a pleasure to work on your cabinets and help in that aspect of your kitchen update. You and your wife were very nice to us during the installation and as I mentioned, it was a pleasure.

Absolutely perfect. Well beyond my expectations for every project he has done for me. By the way, he really LISTENS to what it is his customer wants, and fulfills the request until the customer is satisfied.
Description of Work: This amount of money is for the exceptional job Tom (O'Leary) did in repairing and painting/faux finishing my fairly large living room and dining room. Beside this, he has stripped dark woodwork and refinished it to be EXACTLY the tone that I want (and everything fits perfectly in my 1911 house).Tom has created rooms, put in and refinished floors, built (unbelievable) built in shelves to look like they were always here in my 1911 house, created storage spaces where there were none.......O'Leary is an artist. Painting is his specialty (try him and you'll see!), but in my opinion, any of these many projects could be representative of the quality of work that one would expect from a worker's "specialty". He is a wonderful person, kind, fair, honest, lovely to have around, and his standards for his work are extremely high. To say that I would hire him again, is a little redundant, since I have hired him over an over and over since he first did work for me 7 or 8 years ago. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We've worked with Tom from the very beginning of projects. We talk over the pros and cons and the best ways to do the jobs from practical, aesthetic, and financial angles. Tom is an expert, but he's a good listener and will consider different ways of approaching a problem, respecting our opinions. As the project goes along, Tom remains flexible and good-humored, able to deal well with unforeseen occurrences and always working as a partner with us.
Description of Work: Tom O'Leary has done numerous things for us over the past year, including, most recently, designing and building a handicap ramp. Even for this very functional piece, he paid attention to how all the joints fit, how weight was distributed, and how it looked on the outside of our house. It result was stable, solid, and good-looking. When Tom paints, he brings his knowledge as a fine art painter to the job. He's exacting, neat, and his work is beautiful. Along with being incredibly skilled, Tom is kind, thoughtful, and professional. We can't say enough about how pleasant and fair he is to work with. He hasn't yet done any fine wood finishing for us, but we've seen his work at friends' houses and can vouch for its excellence. We highly, and without reservation, recommend Tom for any of your painting or fine wood finishing projects.
