Description of Work: I contacted the company to schedule an estimate for painting the exterior of our home this Spring. |The initial reply from the company was quick and professional. However, he was unable show to keep the first appointment. He called and said we could reschedule for the coming weekend and I said that would be fine. |During that weekend, he called and again and said a job was taking longer than expected and would not be able to make it. |I gave him a third opportunity to schedule the estimate, and he would never set an appointment, and did not return a phone message. |His last message to me was he "understood" if I took my business elsewhere. | |I am not sure whether his business is so good, that he doesn't need additional work, or if it is simply a lack of professionalism. Since I did not hire him to do the painting, I cannot comment on the quality of the company's work. |

Response from Distinctive Coatings
Once again we are very sorry for having to reschedule appointments although sometimes it's necessary in order to care for jobs already in progress. Looking thru my records I'm not seeing this customer in my appointment books at all although thats not to say this isn't legit. What I can say is it would have been better had the customer contacted me with his displeasure months ago instead of waiting until now when there is little to nothing that can be done about it. We continue to be proud of our A+ rating with individuals that we do complete work for which is indicated by our reviews.

Description of Work: Exterior pressure clean and paint, trim repair, and interior paint. Also painted my cabinets. Dave and his team did an excellent job and were extremely professional, clean, fast, and timely. Each day they were on site, they covered all furniture and flooring under the area that would be painted. At the end of each day, they cleaned up and put all of their gear away. | |My cabinets look brand new and I would definitely use them again!

Description of Work: Dave Balkus and his crew did an excellent job. They did a quality job, were careful around my garden areas, and left the place neat and tidy when they were finished. My husband works at home and they were very respectful of his need for a quiet environment. I would hire Dave for future work and will definitely recommend him to friends and neighbors. Thanks, Dave!

Description of Work: We had some communication glitches which resulted in them coming out to re-do the backporch and do the shutters but I have to say Dave was very responsive about coming back and getting the work completed. He wanted to please and do a good job. Overall the house looks good.

Please process refund ASAP and advise when this is done so I can Track.

[member name removed] purchased our Big Deal Coupon. Its is clear as to what it does and does not cover. The home was much larger by 2500 sq ft, also had 65 custom type windows, along with third story pitches or heights all of which are stated as addtional charges for the job to be completed. I can only ask that customers read over carefully the stated terms of the big deal prior to purchasing it. I am always available via email or phone if clients have questions regarding the terms and any additional fees that may apply in their case. If at that point the cost is more than they are wanting to pay they can decline the deal and or be refunded. No need for negative comments as this suggests you wanted a quality job for nothing. I love my job but am sure most people understand that we can not operate for free. In addition this client never gave us the opportunity to discuss the additional cost for work that was not covered under the big deal. Had we been given the opportunity to discuss this, the client might well have understood the extent of the addtional work he was requesting us to do for a mere $1499.

We purchased a "Big Deal" through Angie's List, for exterior paint package for $1299. We understood that we wanted extras at extra cost, but this was still a great deal. Owner Dave Balkus contacted us promptly, and scheduled and completed our work within a reasonable time frame (rainy weather was a factor). We are very pleased with the result!
Description of Work: Exterior house-painting, including prep work and trim (including window frames and shutters), 2 colors, plus a different color for the front door.

David was a pleasure to work with and the work got done in less than a week. His team came to work on time each day, and cleaned up after their work. I am very happy with the work and would recommend David and his company highly to anyone looking for house painting.

It was a great experience. Dave came over to take measurements for an estimate which he provided in writing within 48 hours. I felt it was fair so I set up a time for him to do the work. hi I did wait a few weeks for the work due to excessive pollen. He followed up with me when we discussed and set up a date. We did have some bad weather, so each day he followed up with me on what he could and could not accomplish based on the weather. When the painting started, they were on time and professional I didn't even notice them when they were working. And when they were finished, they cleaned up after themselves before leaving for the day. Dave did a walk through to make sure everything was done to his liking and then followed up with me the following day with an invoice via email that matched my estimate. Everything went smoothly and just as we had discussed. I could not be happier. I felt he did the work he said he would do. The price was fair. He was timely and professional. I really enjoyed working with him. I would recommend him to my friends for any future work.
Description of Work: Dave and his team pressure washed and painted the exterior of my house and my screened in porch.

Description of Work: Mr Balkes came to estimate the total cost of the job. He quoted a price. I was going to get back to him with date to proceed. A personal matter is forcing me to postpone the painting to 2014. Please credit my Citi Visa card $1,299 asap. Thank you.

It has and always will be our goal to gain the utmost satisfaction from all our customers. We are slightly disappointed in the fact we didn't get the opportunity to show what we were all about but hopefully we will in the future be able to earn your business and turn our B into an A.

Description of Work: Dave immediately phoned me after purchasing Big Deal for exterior painting and set up a next day appointment to "cover a few things". Very nice and personable man. He arrived on time and worked up an estimate. He started the conversation that the big deal is a little misleading and proceeded to inform us we would be paying close to 2k more to have our home painted properly. He offered to make a written estimate and if we didn't want to move forward he understood. Estimate came next day and was $3500. We choose not to be a part of this "Big Deal". Dave was VERY professional and prompt. If we had the budget for this project we would definitely use him.

great, he was on time, did a great job and worked with our schedule to complete the project on time.
Description of Work: We hired this paint contractor to repaint our offices. He was very prompt, did an amazing job and even helped us customize the paint with a metalic shimmer that looks amazing in our office. He was able to fit us in last minute and even worked at night and on the weekend to get the job done for us on time. He was so good infact that we hired him to paint our house as well. I am a mother with two children and I felt completely safe having him and his crew in the house with us. He appears to be a good family man with a great work ethic.
