A 1 Ceiling Specialists

They came and repaired and replaced the ceiling. It went well they did a great job on it. They came when they said they were going to come. They gave a very reasonable estimate and the finished product was great. They also cleaned up very well.

They were very knowledgeable.They did a great job and the job was done in a timely manner. The price was reasonable and we would definitely use them again.

Larry did a great job. He was very prompt in returning my phone calls and coming out to give me an estimate. He arrived on time to do the job and they turned out really nice. The only complaint I have is that he charged $50 to come out and give me an estimate because I went with him that money went towards the job, but if I didn't go with him that $50 is non-refundable.

They came the first day and fixed or the cracks, taped and applied pudding. The second day they arrived in the morning covered all the furniture and fixtures very carefully and than painted. There a couple of minor scratches to the wall where the ladder was placed. We had the smell of the paint in the house for 3-4 days but then it was fine. Larry was very professional from the beginning to the end.

Called and he came out to do the estimate. Once he came he taped the edges which took some time, but the actually painting took approximately an hour.

I think if I remember right there was something that they didn't do that I didn't like but they fixed it right away. They did a great job and we took them from Angie's List because they had the most ratings.

Everything was perfect and we are very happy with the outcome.

Larry was great, very friendly and responsive. Always promptly returned phone calls. We're getting the house ready to sell and time was a factor. Larry was able to come out and do the job within one week of my calling him. We asked for an estimate for painting the entire basement also, and he honestly said that he didn't think he could tackle the job in our time frame, he recommended another contractor who turned out to be great, as well. Larry did get sick the first day he was supposed to show and called to reschedule. I was afraid it was going to be a blow-off and I'd never hear from him again. But not so! He called back the next day, and was here painting within the next 2 days. He was very fast and thorough. Took him only half a day to prep and paint 2 ceilings. Used an oil based paint and a sprayer. The ceilings had been stained pretty bad, but so far no stains have bled through, the coverage is great. The smell was strong the first day, but has since dissipated for the most part. If it were winter, and we couldn't keep the windows open for the next 2 days, the smell might have lasted longer, but we're lucky it is spring. Prep work and covering all the furniture and walls was great, no paint spatters anywhere. He did use my expensive porcelain pedestal sink in the bathroom to clean stuff, I think, and after he left I found a tiny scrape mark in the porcelain that looks like it came from a tool. Next time I would keep the door closed or cover the sink with padding or something.

Extremely pleased with the result of the work performed.

Larry did a very good job and cleaned up just great. It was a very small place to work in and he didn't complain.

The whole experience was very positive. He called me back right away when I placed a call for an estimate. We set up an appointment, and he was prompt and courteous. His estimate was the lowest of the three we received, and his work was outstanding. My ceiling had an old sand texture on it, and I didn't want to change the character of the ceiling, so I specifically requested that he keep the new texture very light. He used the smallest hole on his sprayer, and the ceiling turned out just beautiful. The oil primer, while smelly, gives me some peace of mine that no staining will be leaching through the new ceiling.

The job went very well from the first contact to completion. Larry gave me a very reasonable estimate (probably because he uses spray, not roller) and a good idea of what to expect during the repair and painting. He repaired all the ceilings in a half day, then sprayed all the ceilings on day two. He worked alone and was incredibly fast, efficient and polite. The ceilings look great. The only negative is the odor from the oil base paint. With the windows closed, it lingers and is bothersome. But that's not Larry's fault.

When Larry bid the job, he estimated that he could spray texture over the existing ceiling. As it turned out, the existing ceiling had poor adhesion to the drywall and Larry had to scrape down the whole ceiling and respray it after he had sprayed it the first time. The finished job was excellent and although Larry spent double the time he had originally estimated, he only charged me the price he had originally estimated. He is a excellent craftsman and a gentleman.

Larry came and gave us a free estimate. His price seemed reasonable so he came back at the end of the week and did the job. He was professional and did a nice job.

Everything went beautifully. They completed the job within the expected time-frame, and the quality of the work was outstanding. The crew was consistently professional, and the crew leader visited the site everyday to talk with us and to check on the progress and quality of the job.

They were extremely punctual and cleaned up after themselves. They were very friendly and accommodating to my schedule. This was my first experience using Angie's List and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction. I would use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their ceiling painted.

Larry was excellent. He resprayed the ceiling a hallway, a portion of which was above a staircase, which made it very tricky, but he had no problems. He also did a bedroom ceiling and repaired some water damaged drywall from a chimney leak. He cleaned up very well afterwards. I cannot even tell where the water damage was anymore. Great job.

He worked very fast and did an excellent job. However, the paint fumes are hard to get rid of in winter. We would definitely recommend his services.

Larry replied promptly. Gave us an estimate 2 or 3 days later on a Saturday morning. We were out of town, he wanted to come earlier and preformed the work on Monday. Larry did an excellent job! Left my home spotless. The paint has a bit of an odor but was gone quickly. Now, you'd never know that there was a hole in the ceiling; perfect!

Excellent - came out and gave us an estimate. Completed the work 3 days later.

Excellent, very professional, very friendly, very flexible timing wise. I will use him for all my work.

Super; estimate within hours, repair work completed the next day. Extremely pleased. Larry Forman is a good guy.

Mr. Forsman came out to give me a bid right away. When I accepted his bid he was ready to do the work just a few days later. This was an unusual situation and Mr. Forsman was able to fix the problem skillfully. Being an awkward problem, we did have a few bubbles reappear after a few days and Mr. Forsman came out on a Saturday to re-texture and be sure that we were completely satisfied with the results. We are! Note: There were several comments about the odor from oil paint mentioned on Angie's list. I was glad to be forewarned, but expecting the odor, I was surprised that it wasn't really the problem that I thought it might be.

I saw that A-1 was highly rated in Angie's List and I also saw it advertised in the Southwest Journal. Using local contractors when possible is important to me. Larry responded to my phone message within two days. He came out on a Saturday morning to give me an estimate. He explained what he would do and he wrote an estimate for me while he was at my house. When I asked him when he could do the work, he said he could do it the next working day (Tuesday after Labor Day). This fit my schedule perfectly. He called me the evening before he was going to do the work to confirm that I was ready. I didn't have to be at home when he showed up to do the work. When I got home from work, both areas were done and everything was neat and clean. All the windows in the bedroom were open and a fan was going full blast to air out the area. He locked up and put my key in the mail slot. I'm very happy with the work he did. I have already recommended him to a few friends. I would hire him again.

Larry was responsive, punctual, personable, and did good work. He spent time talking with us about the project and gave us recommendations on who to contact for several projects he doesn't do. The work took longer than Larry thought due to the humidity (which impacted drying time), but he was sure to complete the work the same day. A dent in the ceiling wasn't repaired the first time, so larry came back out to work on it the next day. Unfortunately, it still didn't get repaired but I am confident that Larry did everything he could within the cost structure we discussed.
