Apollo's Fine Line Painting

It went great. The painter showed up on time, was very conscientious and worked hard the entire time he was on the job (with a very quick break for lunch). As he does all of his own work he is better able to control the quality of work and his job rate estimates are good. I would definitely use him again.

See above. Every step, from initial contact to job completion, was professional, timely, cost effective, honest, and well-executed.

I was very pleased with his work. The only thing were the rainy weather conditions which caused a lot of drying time.

Joel answered our request for a bid promptly. His proposal included more items and was more detailed that other bids; we also liked him and trusted him as a gut reaction -- so the choice was easy. He painted the trim on our older city home and adapted his painting to our changing ideas easily, giving us great advice along the way (in terms of what trim colors would work where). When we decided -- in the middle of the job -- to sell our house and needed to paint portions of the interior for sale, he added those to his schedule and helped us prioritize. He took some afternoons/days off our job to meet with other clients and perform previously scheduled jobs, so I felt it was a good sign -- that he treats all his clients fairly and respectfully. It is rare to have a flawless experience with a service provider, even when the experience is a fabulous one. I can honestly say that the only drawback with Joel is that he is so good, quick, trustworthy and easy to communicate with that we kept adding on jobs to our original bid! On the other hand, there were no surprises: even when he eyeballed an additional item, the final bill came in around $25 around the given estimate (usually lower). He was also a pleasure to have around the house -- worked well with the contractor who was performing some exterior repairs, really nice to our neighbors, and cleaned up impeccably. I can't recommend him highly enough. From initial contact to final bill, this was an unusually good experience. We'd recommend him unconditionally, and use him again without hesitation. Also, he's a really interesting person! We probably slowed him down by chatting with him.

It went well. He also suggested better solutions than those I had in mind.

Joel did an excellent job on a very difficult task. The paint was peeling off in large strips from the back hall for unknown reasons. The backdoor paint had bubbles in it (60 year old door). The garage needed quite a bit of scraping. Joel worked quickly and for a very reasonable price to scrape and sand and prepare all these difficult surfaces with primer and to paint them. After a few weeks of very humid weather there were some bubbles reforming on the back door. Joel came back immediately when I called about it and fixed them, no charge. We have employed him before and he always does a good job.

He was recommended to us by a friend. He is very reasonable and prompt. He did an excellent job. He completed the work in 2 and half days. He also fixed the plaster and the ceiling at some places.

HE IS A SMALLER OPERATION AND DOES HIS OWN WORK. HE DOES A VERY GOOD JOB WITH EVERYTHING. HE IS HONEST AND DETAIL ORIENTED. HE DOES A NICE JOB WITH THE BID AND IS VERY PROFESSIONAL.
