Howard's Traditional Paint

Howard's Painting was on time, on budget. Pleasant to work with.

Billy Howard's work was professional and thorough. He carefully looked over the entire house with me and we discussed the job. The redwood siding had become very dried out on sunny, exposed sides and carpenter bees had perforated some fascia boards. There was also some rot on a wall surface and molding around two plate glass windows was dried and cracked. He replaced or repaired all the problem areas that we had looked at together. The dedicated carpenter on the crew was skilled and did an excellent job. The staining and trim work was neat and there was good attention to detail. Where more stain had to be applied because of excessive dryness, his experience came through - no drips and very even throughout. I liked the crew's dedication. They came everyday until the job was done (we were lucky with the weather!). Billy Howard came to the house several times before starting the job. You could tell he was putting in a lot of thought about the work to be done and always discussed any questions he had for me, or I had for him. He was present every work day, leading the small crew and doing all the stain spraying himself. I got the feeling he cared about workmanship and at the end he was pleased with the results, as was I. The word and quot;Traditionaland quot; in the company title is appropriate. Billy Howard was short on itemization in the estimate compared to other company estimates. Other companies seemed to itemize things that I thought were obviously part of the work and this led to the estimate getting higher and higher. In addition, these companies and their 'project managers' wouldn't come out to the house after the initial visit, so any further discussion about work was by phone and they had to be reminded of the house and it's details everytime, because they were confusing my house with other houses. This got very irritating. As I mentioned, Billy Howard came personally to the house several times and there was never a question about what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. He has a lot of experience and his local reputation is at stake, so that was good enough for me.
