He did an excellent job painting the outside of the house. Would use him again to paint outside of house. On 10/08/2010 he painted my kitchen cabinets and bathroom walls and he could have done a much better job. He should have removed bumps and patched holes. All he did was paint over everything.

Brandon was always professional and polite. He painted the exterior of my home, deck, and new soffits. The body of the house looks nice along with the deck. However, the new soffits appear to only have one coat of paint as you can easily see all the blemishes in the wood. There was minimal prep work and caulking was not done. The upstairs popcorn ceilings were removed and a knock down finish applied which looks nice. The same was done to the downstairs ceilings and I have a tape strip already falling . This project began September 2013 and 6 months later the corner of my upstairs bedroom remains mudded and not sanded and not painted. I am tired of waiting for his return to finish the job. Bathroom and closet ceilings were not repaired. Tape remains loose and not painted. Not all of the trim was painted and if it were, there was no caulking of nail holes or merely one coat of paint applied that looks more like primer. A new hand rail was installed by the carpenter, none of which was sanded. Oil paint (my request) was applied but it is uncomfortable to run your hand along the top rail. The carpenter's expense exceeded budget as he discovered rotten wood and had to repair floor joist (not anyone's fault). The carpentry budget also exceeded expectations as I had them replace 4 windows (not counted in overages) and rotten wood as well. The carpenter did a nice job but his labor pricing seemed excessive to me. They did install an IKEA kitchen that arrived in numerous boxes which had to all be put together. This was unexpected and took considerable time. Brandon and his colleagues were always friendly and polite. The workman ship and my "turn-key" promise was not what I expected and disappointing. The initial pricing of the project was within my budget and I expected overages but not $19,000 of overages. The wood scraps remain in my yard and wood molding I purchased was thrown over the deck railing into the woods.

Brandon Marks is a delight to work with! He seemed to actually enjoy making improvements to our house (an old farm house that had been partially renovated). He responded at once to my inquiry and was able to start work when we needed a fast turnaround. The people who worked with/for him were also very cordial and professional. The work involved painting the inside and outside as well as refinishing the hardwood floors and adding stair and porch railing. He was very helpful in selecting paint colors and suggesting small improvements that made a big difference, such as framing the crawl space. His selection of porch railing was completely in character with the house and he took into consideration our ability to still enjoy the view after the railing was installed. Would definitely recommend him.

The plumer did a good job on everything .Very satisfied.

Was the only company out of three contacted who came out and gave professional written estimate. Returned our calls in a very timely manner. Was very punctual and dependable each day that he worked. Did not leave a mess. We definitely plan to use this individual again for painting services in the future.
