 + -1 moreOwner was very pleasant. He did not tell us he was sub-contracting the work out to another company. Work was being done by the other company, and we found out the last time A-1 Painting Services re-glazed my windows (about 20 years ago) they did not do the work correctly. We were not pleased at all with the work being sub-contracted out, and paid A-1 Painting Services for the work that was done and cancelled the rest of the work to be completed. We hired the sub-contractor to finish the work for us. Even was charged $12.50 less per hour, too. We will never use A-1 Painting Services again, because when you hire a contract for the job, then that's who you want doing the job! We deal direct and want the work done with the party we made the contract with, not having our work sub-contacted with another business owner.
Description of Work: Wrap & paint front porch columns, repair any damage on 28 windows, re-glaze, and paint. Make new door surround, paint, and add hardware, and install new screen door.

 + -1 morePlease read the above...what did provider do. The details outlined indicate to not use this provider.
Description of Work: Overall paint job very poor. Bubbles in paint, running paint marks over doors, did not paint shelves in closets, left entire areas of walls unpainted In several rooms. Dry roller shadows on walls, did not paint inside windows that had Window seats, left sparkle and sanding dust tracked all house and along round boards, splattered paint on woodwork and did not clean any mess made. Guarantee in writing stated would correct problems. Refused to correct problems. Would not return house key and we had to change locks. Was no show on several appointments to discuss problems. Refused to return phone calls. Refused Certified letter when husband tried to deliver personally after painter refused from postman...husband left with owners wife. Mr Durban or one of his workers brought it and placed it in our mailbox. Discussion with our postman verified postal service did not place in our mailbox. After all of our attempts to allow Mr Durgan complete the job as contracted, we had no choice but to hire another painter and have every room repainted. Townhouse maintenance supervisor used black light which revealed very little paint had even been rolled on walls by A-1employees who were unsupervised while painting on a Sunday afternoon. Mr Durgan refused to repaint and refused to refund payment in full of the above amount. We will now be taking legal action against Mr Durgan owner of A-1Painting. Would not recommend this paint service to anyone. Not trustworthy...unreliable...shabby business pratices Totally unprofessional.

 + -1 moreDave is prompt and professional. He wants to be sure that you are happy and get what you ask for. He also had suggestions for my repairs that needed done before the painting. His crew is also a prompt bunch of great guys. They did a wonderful job and cleaned up well before they left. I highly recommend them!
Description of Work: They replaced all my bad wood siding, new facia boards, and added reinforcements to the bottom edge of the house. Then they power washed and caulked the whole house. The entire house was painted. It looks wonderful!

 + -1 moreThey were extremely nice, and hard workers.They did an excellent job on the actual painting and as far as the final appearance goes they deserve an A+. There were a few things that could have been done differently to earn an overall A+. They used the kitchen sink to rinse out the tools used for drywall mud, and clogged it up totally. I ended up having to pay a plumber to come out and get it unclogged. I let them use our vacuum sweeper and the drywall dust went up in to the motor and burned it out. I think this was a job for a shop vac and wish they would have had one on the job with them. However, they did vacuum each night before leaving.. In all fairness, I reported none of this to them, I did not give them a chance to redeem themselves, which I should have. After the clogged sink incident, I did ask them to use the garden hose outside to clean up their tools, and they graciously complied. I believe that if I had brought these matters to their attention they would have done something to compensate for the cost of the plumbing and new sweeper. All of this said and done, I would hire them again. I was very pleased with the final results, and I felt that I could trust them in my home, which is hard to come by in this day and age.. I have had many many compliments on the faux painting they did for us, and "YES" I am still admiring it myself.. My advise to you is to call them out for an estimate! Ask them to bring a shopvac! lol!
Description of Work: Removed wallpaper, prepared and primed walls for painting, painted living room/dining room, applied faux painting on 2 walls. They also primed and painted 2 doors, base boards, and trim around 8 windows.

 + 0 moreThey started out with everything well. They were doing a great job, so we signed on for an additional $5,288 to put stone on our chimney and build a staircase to our deck. They started working on it in June and by October it still wasn't done. The guy decided that he did not know how to do the stone work even though he started the prep. He never finished the second coat of paint on the deck. We paid him the money, and he wound up walking off of the job saying that he was not making enough money on the job. They won't return our calls.
Description of Work: We signed a contract for them to paint our house.
