Never heard back.
Description of Work: I was looking for an painter to do the exterior for a one story home. It was for my "retired" mother! I mentioned that she was looking for a reasonable bid to do the job. I looked on the companys' profile and noticed that the company offered free estimate. I spoke with the owner John and he stated that there is a $45 charge to give en estimate (he is located 5 miles from the house!) I told him the profile on Angies' list was wrong and he forgot to change it last March. Nice job! He made a comment (through email) that he is a competitive painter )however it appears not) and commented that she should look at other painter in the area that would be more appropriate. This is no way to get customers. I cancelled the estimate and job!

I OWN AN ALMOST 100 YEAR OLD FRAME HOME WHICH BADLY NEEDED PAINTING. I ENJOYED WORKING WITH JOHN ARMSTRONG. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND SEEMED VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE MECHANICS OF PAINTING AS WELL AS THE AESTHETICS OF PAINTING. THE WORK SITE WAS CLEANED UP EVERY EVENING, AND THE PAINTERS WERE RESPECTFUL OF MY PROPERTY. THE PROJECT LEAD KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ME CONCERNING THE PROGRESS OF THE PROJECT AND CLARIFIED ANY QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP DURING THE PROJECT. I RECEIVED UPDATES ON THE COST OF THE PROJECT AS THE PAINTING PROGRESSED. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAGIC PAINTING.
Description of Work: I CONTRACTED WITH MAGIC PAINTING TO PAINT MY HOUSE & GARAGE. THE PROJECT INCLUDED CARPENTRY, SANDING, PRIMING, PAINTING, AND COLOR CONSULTING.

JOHN ARMSTRONG AND HIS CREW ARE VERY FOCUSED ON DETAIL FROM THE PROPOSAL(EVERYTHING IS SPELLED OUT IN BLACK AND WHITE) TO THE LAST FEW FINISHING DETAILS. KIM WAS OUR PROJECT MANAGER. SHE ALWAYS CONFERRED WITH ME AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY AND AT THE END TO KEEP ME INFORMED ON THE PROGRESS OF OUR PROJECT. SHE WAS PATIENT AND EASY TO WORK WITH. EVAN, WHO WORKED ON OUR FIREPLACE AND REWIRING AND HANGING OF A COUPLE OF LARGE LIGHT FIXTURES AND OTHER THINGS, DOES WONDERFUL WORK. ALL OF THE PAINTERS HAVE EXCELLENT SKILLS. I HAD HIRED THIS COMPANY TO PAINT ALL OF THE WOOD WORK AROUND MY WINDOWS LAST YEAR AND THEY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB. I WOULD HIRE THE MAGIC PAINTING COMPANY AGAIN, HANDS DOWN. SUCH A PLEASANT GROUP TO WORK WITH!
Description of Work: CEILINGS AND WALLS WERE PAINTED IN KITCHEN, DINING, FOYER, LIVINGROOM, 1/2 BATH, BACK HALL, LAUNDRY, AND MASTER BEDROOM. SOME WALL PATCHING AND REPAIR ON FIREPLACE MASONRY AND MANTLE WERE ALSO DONE.

VERY PROFESSIONAL INTERACTION. PHONE CALLS RETURNED, PROMPT ARRIVAL FOR ESTIMATE. SPENT 2 HOURS DRAWING UP BID. IT WAS THE MOST THOROUGH BID I OBTAINED. REALLY THINK THAT I WOULD LIKE WORKING WITH THIS COMPANY, BUT BID WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE OTHER COMPANIES' (ALSO FROM ANGIE'S LIST).

JOHN, EVAN AND PETER WERE ALL WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH. THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK IS UNBEATABLE. THEY KEPT ME WELL INFORMED DURING THE ENTIRE PROCESS. I GAVE THEM A "B" ON THEIR PRICES, BECAUSE THEY WERE A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER PAINTERS. HOWEVER I THINK THEIR QUALITY AND INTEGRITY ARE WELL WORTH IT. I ALSO GAVE THEM A "B" ON PUNCTUALITY AS THE PROJECT RAN TWICE THE TIME WE ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED, AND THEY SEEMED TO LOSE FOCUS TOWARD THE END.
Description of Work: FULL SERVICE EXTERIOR PAINTING OF 3 STORY HOUSE AND GARAGE. THEY DID EVERYTHING FROM SCRAPING AND PAINTING, TO CARPENTRY REPAIRS AND CAULKING.

GREAT WORK. CREW FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL AND PROMPT. PROJECT STARTED A BIT BEHIND WHAT WE PLANNED, DUE TO WEATHER DELAYS, BUT PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN THE NUMBER OF DAYS THEY ESTIMATED. FINAL PRICE ONLY $400 OVER ORIGINAL BID DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF PAINT THE HOUSE SOAKED UP AND EXTRA PREP ON WINDOW SILLS. JOHN WAS, AGAIN, GREAT WITH COLOR SELECTION AND PATIENT AS WE TRIED ABOUT 15 DIFFERENT COLORS TO FIND THE RIGHT ONE.

THE COLOR CONSULTATION WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THEY WORKED PATIENTLY WITH ME TO DECIDE ACCENT COLORS. THEIR ABILITY TO DO SOME RESTORATION (REPAIR OF CRACKED WOOD & REPLACEMENT OF DOOR SILL AND ROOF TRIM BOARDS) WAS EXCELLENT. THEY HAD A KEY TO MY HOUSE AND THE ONLY NEGATIVE WAS A BIT OF CARELESSNESS ABOUT SECURITY. DID NOT RE-LOCK MY HOME WHEN THEY FINISHED UP ON SEVERAL DAYS. CAME ONCE UNANNOUNCED, ACCESSED THE HOUSE AND TRIGGERED THE SECURITY ALARM. OTHERWISE THEY WERE GREAT AND THE PAINT JOB LOOKS TERRIFIC. THE OWNER, JOHN, AND PROJECT MANAGER, EVAN, WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH. EXCELLENT CLEAN UP EACH DAY. THEY SEEM REALLY COMMITTED TO DOING QUALITY WORK.

I CALLED THE COMPANY AND REQUESTED AN ESTIMATE FOR EXTERIOR PAINTING. THE REPRESENTATIVE LISTENED TO THE INFORMATION AND ASKED QUESTIONS, THEN ASKED ME WHETHER I WAS MORE INTERESTED IN PRICE OR THE 'PACKAGE'. I RESPONDED THAT I THOUGHT PRICE WAS MORE IMPORTANT. HE THEN STATED HE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN OFFERING AN ESTIMATE SINCE I WAS MOST INTERESTED IN PRICE AND THEY TENDED TO BE HIGHER END IN PRICE. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW ANYONE WOULD SAY PRICE IS NOT A CONCERN UNLESS THEY ARE INTERESTED IN GIVING AWAY THEIR MONEY STUPIDLY. I FIND THIS TO BE RUDE AND LAZY AND PROBABLY A SIGN OF UNETHICAL PRICE GOUGING. WHAT HAPPENED TO SERVICE? INTEGRITY? A WORK ETHIC? I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS COMPANY.
