He is fastidiously tidy. His truck was neat as a pin. When he would come in, he covered everything. The coverings are brand-new except for the paint tarps. His tools looked like they're in good shape. He cleaned up after himself everyday. He's very courteous. He worked straight through. It's almost like you didn't know he was here. He closed the door off and just worked. He removed all of his own trash. He would ask me questions. He just stayed real focused. We were pleased with particularly his promptness and his cleanup and paint ethics. His price was certainly reasonable. We are planning to do more painting in the upstairs section probably within the next year and he will certainly be someone that we would contact. The decorator who came thought it was very well done. He was really good. If he thought he forgot something, he would call and check. He came and worked for us a couple of Saturdays. He seemed like a really pleasant fellow. He didn't stand around and chitchat or try to entertain me. He worked. He was very professional.

Jay did a wonderful job with our kitchen and stairwell. They look amazing and there were no paint spills on the carpet of the stairs, nor on the stair railings. We had leftover ceiling paint and Jay was able to paint over the nail pop patches to blend them in so that we didn't have to repaint every ceiling. And he patched a recurring crack in our wall with tape - a solution my husband and I hadn't thought of. These jobs ended up being a little more work than he had agreed to but he didn't raise the price. Wonderful to work with - always on time and easy to reach!
Description of Work: Our kitchen was painted, numerous patched ceiling nail pops were painted over, our large two-story entry stairwell was painted and a crack in a wall was taped and patched.

Jay was great. He showed up each day when he said he would, was very neat, and cleaned up afterwards. He looked up our paint, which I had already purchased, online to make sure it would really last for a few years. He even removed and cleaned the screens for us, which wasn't expected. He was very easy to contact via phone...all at a great price. We have received multiple compliments on how good our porch trim now looks. He was also very honest - we asked if our front porch needed repainting and he told us to first try spraying it with a bleach solution, which worked great.
Description of Work: Our screened-in back porch's trim, which had never been painted before, was primed and painted white.
