Great!
Description of Work: Tim painted two rooms with high ceilings (19 feet), repaired nail pops and primed for painting, repaired window sills that were peeling in every room in our 3-story house, checked tiles in showers for mold and cleaned with bleach before retiling. He and his helper moved furniture and cleaned up after they were done in each room. He also did some small repairs not listed on the estimate at no extra charge. Tim worked around our schedule, was courteous, and informed us of the schedule for areas he would be working in. We plan to use Tim for future painting needs, both interior and exterior.

This is the second time we used this individual. We were happy with the first job and charge. Would recommend him but would be very, very specific about his charges. His work is very good. But as he got into the second job, it became apparent the work needing to be done did not warrant the ultimate charge. He said he charged $50 and hour but he was not here for 8 hours (even including his travel time). Charge should have been $275.00.
Description of Work: Drywall mudded one small bedroom wall. Did not put the drywall up.

Excellent job. Could not be more satisfied. Second time we have used Tim, because of the great job he did earlier. He was very careful how he powerwashed around the windows, so as to not break the seals (as someone else had done years earlier). He waited until he had (1) two dry days prior to staining and (2) a projection of two days that would be dry after the staining was complete. Took awhile to get that to occur, but we appreciated his being such a stickler for strandards. His inspection of the windows was thorough; told us that recaulking was not needed now. His helper adjusted the storm door lock perfectly after I had installed it poorly. Payment matched his estimate, which was very fair. He is very pleasant to work with. He is prompt. And he kept us informed on when he expected to show up based on the weather. As long as he keeps doing this, we will keep hiring him. Tim's a professional.
Description of Work: Tim Brackman power-washed our deck, replaced a board, restained our deck, inspected our windows to see if they needed to be re-caulked, and fixed a newly installed lock on a storm door.

Tim Brackman is a pleasure to work with. He is organized, prompt, professional and without question one of the best workers I have ever hired. He and his crew did an outstanding job, exactly as discussed. He was reachable at all times throughout this three week project that was done while I was out of town before moving into the home. I would highly recommend his work. He does all kinds of work, as his company name implies...he also fixed a toilet and installed shelving in a built-in armoire while doing the paint work. There was a crew of 4-5 who did the work.
Description of Work: Painted almost every room of 5500 sq. foot home. Touched up trimwork in many rooms and cleaned up many edges of prior owner's work.
