We were very careful to discuss with Joe our timing expectations before signing a contract, and Joe was extremely accommodating. We have had our fair share of contractors not doing what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it- ARGH! So we discussed with Joe in advance how long the job should take, when the start date was, and how many contiguous days of work would see it done. Joe started October 22, per our agreement, estimated 6 days of interior prep/painting and 2 days of deck prep/staining/sealing. Sure enough he was absolutely good for it! He and his guys even came during the Monday of Hurricane Sandy and put in a full day of work after working the weekend as well (btw, we did not ask them to do either, but hey- that says something!). In addition, there was no arriving late and working late (which we have experienced before and cannot abide with kids that go to bed at 7:30). The entire experience was very refreshing. They were almost always gone by the time we got home from work/daycare. It was like magic elves had been there during the day J We were so excited to come home and see the result of the day’s work! Another standout quality about EJ’s is that there clean up is excellent, we did not come home to a mess even once. Our home is about 3800sqft. Joe painted every wall except for the powder room, master bathroom, and laundry room. Many rooms had more than one color. We also have very high ceilings and skylights and Joe painted one of those ceilings for us as well and it looks brilliant! Joe did the deck in 2 days flat. It looks like a new deck- just as happy with the exterior services and results as the interior. Would definitely work with him again and we highly recommend EJ’s.
Description of Work: Joe and his team painted virtually the entire interior of our home, as well as prepping/powerewashing, stain and sealing our 2 stroy deck and a new line of fencing. I interviewed and got estimates from several other companies (Janis, Paul's, Pizzazz) and we probably were comfortable with all. However, Joe just seemed to be a bit more perceptive, prepared, straight forward, and very transparent. We had chosen Ben Moore colors and was used to working witht hat paint and was very upfront about passing Joe and his team painted virtually the entire interior of our home, as well as prepping/power washing, stain and sealing our 2 story deck and a new line of fencing. I interviewed and got estimates from several other companies (Janis, Paul's, Pizzazz) and we probably were comfortable with all. However, Joe just seemed to be a bit more perceptive, prepared, straight forward, and very transparent. We had chosen Ben Moore colors and Joe is used to working with that paint and was very upfront about passing his discount on to us (not everyone does, or is less than forthcoming about how much the discount will be or whether there is still a markup). As we walked through the house and deck and stepped through everything, he was full of helpful suggestions. His process seemed to us to be a bit more thorough with respect to prep work and deck prep. The estimate itself came within 24 hours, was very detailed and sent over email, which we found most convenient. Joe was right in the middle as far as the pricing, but we liked how the estimate was itemized, with the deck separate from the interior painting, each room broken out, and labor and materials kept completely separate. You know what you are paying for and there is no obfuscation regarding how much you are paying for materials versus labor. Joe did not charge by number of coats either, as many coats as needed. Period. Lastly, but very significant for 2 working parents with little ones, Joe picked up all of the materials- we did not have to worry about anything (not true for others, or not true if we moved forward with Ben Moore paint). At our request, he was also careful to get enough for us to have plenty leftover to touch up as needed to cover crayon, scratches, little finger prints [etc.]
