I bought an Angies list big deal from Tom Shulz and also had an extensive list of things I wanted done. He came over and looked at everything and then sent an estimate. He was professional in mannerism and has had many years of experience doing this job. He is easy to get in touch with by text and always promptly answered when I texted. Tom spent over a week in my house painting hallways, doors, trim and my family room. He repaired cracks in several ceilings and moved a ceiling fixture for me. He also did a drywall return on a recent replaced window. He painted my hallway twice because the first time I didn't like the color. Of course I paid for it to be repainted but he had a very good attitude about it! Didn't mind redoing it for me at all. He paints fast (from many years of experience I was told!) and does it well. I had something come up one day and couldn't be at home so I waited until he got here and then left all day. He let himself out the way I asked so the house would be locked up when he left and it was fun to come home and see all the progress! I had no worries about leaving him in my house whatsoever. There were other things I added to my list the week he was here that came up and he was always happy to do them if he could. He replaced some trim around one of the doors that was not a typical width for door framing so he came up with a solution that worked well...so innovative as well! All in all I am pleased with the job and he was happy to come back quickly and fix something I had an issue with. I will use Tom again for my future painting and drywall needs!
Description of Work: Drywall repair and painting...moved a ceiling fixture.
Tom did a nice job on all aspects of a very large job. We would hire Tom again if we were in need of similar services. A few things that sets Tom apart in our minds were: his excellent responsiveness to our needs and concerns, the bread of skills that he brought to the job, and his trustworthiness. We were fairly picky relative to our expectations and, first and foremost, Tom was committed to meeting our expectations. He was very committed to making everything "right." Tom was able to handle many jobs that needed to be completed in addition to the painting. Carpentry, drywall, minor electrical, etc were all within his comfort range. Also of primary importance was our ability to trust Tom in our home. He meticulously cleaned up every day before leaving and did everything possible to minimize the disruption in our home. We (and specifically my wife) felt very comfortable leaving Tom to his work as she ran errands or picked up our kids from school. We are very pleased with his work and service. Thanks Tom.
Description of Work: We hired Tom of Tom Schultz painting and remodeling to paint our entire home (interior) including 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room family room, 2 hall ways, etc. He removed wall paper in the master bathroom. He painted all walls, ceilings, doors and trim. He prepped all walls. He removed all fixtures and replaced them with new fixtures that we provided. He also replaced a bathroom counter top.

Work was done well and on budget, great communication throughout the process! As with any good contractor, he gets booked up so we had to wait several months before he started the work after sending in the down-payment. Not a big deal since we weren't in a big rush. Impressed with the good solutions he had for fixing a tough issue.

Tom came an accessed the situation, got a game plan and came back to fix what was a pretty gnarly crack in our ceiling drywall. He went out of his way to accommodate my scheduling needs. I have other drywall repairs needed and I will certainly be calling Tom back as he was very professional and knowledgeable.

Tom is a one man operation who comes with his own equipment and knows exactly how to set things up and get the job started. Afterwards he takes time to clean things up including sweeping the floor. Upon our initial meeting Tom and I went through each room discussing repairs and colors. Although the first quote I received was for the entire house, each room was broken down individualyl. This was helpful since I decided to do only two rooms and the hall, but know in the future what my costs are for the other rooms. Price included all material and paint; remaining paint was given to me at the end of the job. While painting two closets Tom noticed the base was missing. For a small fee he was able to replace the missing base.
Description of Work: Painted two rooms and a hall, including ceilings, walls, base, and closets plus repaired cracks and holes in plaster walls.
Tom Schulz is IT: Demolition Man, Carpenter, Electrician, Wallboard Installer, and Plasterer. Although we did not need a Plumber, surely he would have been able to do that, also. Tom literally transformed the office area described above. it had previously looked shabby at best with its Styrofoam drop ceiling, rectangular long tube fluorescent ceiling light, and cheap 1960's brown wood paneling on the South interior wall. Now, the lighting is great, the walls and trim are smooth and nicely painted a subtle shade of green, the AC return blends into the rest of the room, and the ceiling fan and crown molding are nice touches. Then, Tom got to the big bedroom - a small bedroom, breeze porch, and balcony that had been combined. The room has a lot of corners, edges, windows and wall space. Its a lot of work to paint, Tom took his time and paid a lot of attention to details. The quality of his work is remarkable. It was easy to coordinate our comings and goings. He cleaned up after himself as he went along and limited the disaster to the office area. When the office project was complete, he voluntarily removed the old carpet which had been left down to protect the oak floor beneath. Interpersonally, Tom is a pleasant fellow and good conversationalist. He takes his work and reputation very seriously.
Description of Work: REMODELED 13 x 13 X 9' tall first floor office in 107 year old Webster Groves home: Removed old drop ceiling; removed wood sheet paneling from South wall; removed crumbling plaster from ceiling and West wall; removed carpet, pad, and tacking. Installed wallboard on ceiling, formerly paneled wall, and around the newly framed floor-to-ceiling AC return; plastered the West wall where the old plaster bubbled out; installed 4 ceiling can lights; installed a ceiling fan; installed crown molding; repaired baseboard; fabricated new baseboard around the new AC return to closely match the old trim; painted the walls, ceiling, and trim. PAINTED large 400 square foot vaulted ceiling bedroom after repairing cracks, holes, and edging.

I found Tom to be very professional. Once the work was scheduled, he was always very good about being prompt when he was scheduled. He would frequently provide me with updates with regards to how the project was going.My garage is the best looking garage in the neighborhood! Because he did such great work, I have been able to dramatically increase the storage in my house which is very important as I own a Lab puppy who gets into everything. What I appreciate the most about Tom is his attention to detail and his commitment to the job. I would definitely recommend Tom to anyone.

Response from Schulz Painting - Remodeling Company
Thank you for the review, your feedback is very valuable to me as I am in business to serve and satisfy all my clients. I would also thank Angie's List and it's members in providing the platform for both the consumer and business owner to have the opportunity to contribute to each other as we strive for customer service excellence in the market place. It is my mission to provide services so that my clients experience the immediate satisfaction of a job well done at a fair price. However, with every new project comes a new expectation with regards to cost, time, and professionalism. In my 32 years of contracting experience I have established some basic practices that promote and provide for successful project results. The most important practice is the establishing of what is to be expected while in the performance of the project by all parties. I only use products of the highest quality and that I have used in my own home. In the event of a mishap or misunderstanding I take immediate action to acknowledge it, adjust and resolve the matter before moving forward. I have established the following terms of payment. Total proposed cost of job. $ 1. Deposit of 30% upon signing the Contract. $ 2. Progress payment of 30% due upon the 3rd workday. $ 3. Progress payment of 30% due upon the 5th workday. $ 4. Final payment constituting the entire unpaid balance of the Contract sum shall be paid to Schulz Painting Company when work is completed. Specifically, I acknowledged that I had gotten a small amount motor oil on the driveway while loading the fire place debris. I power washed, cleaned and removed the oil before moving forward. Further, it is customary to expect the honoring of the terms of the agreement and final payment when work is completed. I provided two days notice of my expected completion of the project to ensure a successful final walk through prior to final payment. On the day of completion and final walkthrough I was informed that the client was leaving on a vacation to Vegas and that I would be paid upon their return. I simply requested that they honor the terms of the contract and provide payment prior to their leaving town. I thank you for honoring your agreement and I apologize for any inconvenience that the final walkthrough or the honoring of the agreement may have caused. If you have read this response and value performance trends, then I encourage you to read all previous reviews by other Angie's List Members. I trust that you will appreciate my commitment to customer service excellence and make the best choice and call on me for your project.

This is a one-man operation, so timing and scheduling are issues as he is pretty busy. When you can get him, his rates are reasonable and his work professional. What he says, he will do. I trusted him enough to pay him before the job was completed, and he returned and finished the job just as if he was waiting to be paid. I would completely trust him in my home with my valuables and his work is top notch.

Initial contact with John - was a little slow but this was not his fault as I did not notice his request for direct contact rather than through the Angie's List page. He was very polite and saw what needed to be done. After that it took a while to get back in touch with me due to his hectic schedule but he completed the project within 3 days of re-connection. He was very professional and clean and very easy to work with

Tom is EXCELLENT. My kitchen water pipe burst during the cold winter and ruined my wooden floors. I needed some dry wall repair and painting of all the baseboards through out the house. I reviewed multiple painting companies on the web and found Tom on Angie's List. I picked him for several reasons: his excellent reviews, personal interactions via phone and in person, and also because he made himself available beyond his working hours to expedite this project. We recently had a baby and wanted to move back into the house as soon as possible. Tom took this into consideration and worked on my house after-hours starting in the evenings to ensure that we were able to move back in with the baby. There is no question that Tom is in demand which reflects the quality of his work. He performs all the work himself and you can tell that he takes pride in his craftsmanship. From a technical standpoint, his work is beyond reproach. What was more important for me is that I was able to trust Tom completely in what he said he was going to do and when he was going to do it. I could tell that if he was not going to deliver on what he promised, he was going to be upfront and address the issue immediately and appropriately. The process of working with Tom was smooth and efficient. I recommend him completely and he is my go-to for all painting, dry-wall and remodeling jobs assuming he is available.

Thank you for the review, your feedback is very valuable to me. I appreciate your time and effort you have taken to provide your review. I will occasionally provide a Big Deal offer through Angie's List. Like most discounted offers, it is limited by time, value and availability. This years offer took myself and Angie’s List by surprise with its overwhelming success in popularity. This years offerings generated three times the amount of what was anticipated from previous offerings. Unfortunately, I am only able to service on Deal at a time. For those who have purchased the offer, I thank you for your business and understanding as I work to fulfill all the orders. For those whom where not serviced in a satisfactory time frame, I hope the refund process was simple for you and I apologize for any inconvenience that was caused.

I found Tom to be a true craftsman. He returned my phone calls in a timely manner. When he could not reach me by phone, he would frequently text me. Since the damaged dry wall was a surprise to me, and the adjoining rooms had just been painted Tom went to extraordinary lengths to contain the plaster dust, by putting up plastic everywhere he could. Tom also laid cardboard down to protect my floors. It was the care and professionalism which impressed me the most. Tom treated my home as if it was his own. I liked Tom so much that I have contracted with him to come back out out the house to install drywall in my garage. I would definitely recommend Tom to anyone.

It was great. Tom comes equipped in his truck which seems to be a self contained supply store for everything he could need on a job. His painting was neat, precise and yet efficient. His suggestions on trim work addition to our existing cabinets showed his expertise and when done looked like it was a planned portion of the kitchen all along. The exterior door was also done without any sign of replacement. The transitions were seamless. I was impressed to find such a handy handyman/painter and that he was able to do all of this before our family event. Most of all, it is evident that Tom takes pride in his work which keeps him fully booked, and he doesn't finish a task quickly just to get it done, he does it right the first time. He is neat and respectful to your home, laying tarps and cleaning thoroughly after completion. Within two days we set up a time for him to come and give an estimate, explored the projects and within a couple of days I had email quotes which we felt were quite reasonable. Work was scheduled and completed by our event. We certainly would call Tom again on our next project! We are very happy with the entire experience and enjoyed working with Tom, and getting his valuable advice. Work performed included ceiling drywall repair, ceiling painting, trim work on kitchen cabinets and island, exterior door repair and trim work replacement. I would nominate Tom Schulz as an Angie superstar if I could!
Description of Work: Tom repaired drywall damage on a ceiling, repainted the ceiling, added trim work to our kitchen, replaced trim work on an exterior door and did all of this to meet our deadline for a family event to be held in our home. I felt lucky to find Tom Schulz for these repairs as it was a pleasure to have him do this work. He promptly gave us a quote, and even with his extremely busy schedule completed these projects for our event. I was impressed how neat he was laying down tarps and covering our countertops and doing a superb job on painting our ceiling. He was very helpful in suggesting how to apply extra trim work to our existing cabinets to add additional foot protection while maintains the style of our cabinets. The exterior door work was performed perfectly and matches without any signs of work done to the existing door.

Do to the fact that I completely missed your order and dropped the ball. It is my mission to provide services so that my clients experience the immediate satisfaction of a job well done at a fair price. In order to ensure against future missed orders I have improved several support structures. Including instructing Angie’s List to inform me of any changes to my offerings. Such as the converting of the “Big Deal” offer to a “Store Front” offer so that I can adequately prepare myself and my schedule to accommodation the additional work load. In addition I have provided a “Bulletin” report on my profile page to inform potential customers of my current work load and lead times. I also request that potential clients contact me directly to inquire into and to ensure their complete satisfaction prior to any request for service. The scheduling of appointments is to be done directly with Schulz Painting - Remodeling via email or phone. For those who have purchased the offer, I thank you for your business and understanding as I work to fulfill all the orders.
