Great Job!!!!
Description of Work: I needed 600 square feet of flooring installed in the kitchen, bathroom and hallway of my home. Eddie did a great job!! His pricing was very good, he was very good with communication, and very punctual. I was nervous about the job but working with Eddie made it a lot easier. I would highly recommend him and am sure you would be very satisfied with the outcome!!

Description of Work: My boyfriend requested that they come out ahead to meet and assess the job. The owner accommodated us and addressed all our questions and concerns. The team showed up on time the following morning. Several workers prepped the area. 2 workers stayed as the team went onto another job. 8 hours later, my living room, hall, ceiling, trim and window panes were covered with quality Benjamin Moore paint. The room looked beautiful! This company was professional and prompt. On a side note, be aware they advertise 1 painter, 3 hours for $249. My job required 2 painters @ 6-8 hours. I also paid $100 for the paint. Be that what it may, still a 5 star job!

Description of Work: I forget the specific terminology so please be patient with my review BUT it is important to read! ETC scheduled me for two appointments to drywall a one to one and a half square foot whole in my ceiling and apply finishing paint. I was told by someone (forget his name) whose efforts I admire for speaking English but in business - didn't cut it - and he passed me to Richard. The latter insisted we would have an appointment Thursday 4:00 for the first portion, let that dry overnight and come back Friday at 4:00 for the second part and finish the job. I was on a strict deadline as I had an open-house the Sunday upcoming. |A teacher, I cancelled an appointment with my Department to leave at 2:50 and make sure due to distance and traffic on the Parkway South on Thursday. I didn't leave until 3:05 and flew out, the phone rang and I pulled aside on the ramp onto the Parkway. It was Richard. They cancelled last minute because "a situation came up". It wasn't until I expressed disappointment and the inconvenience of a second appointment on Saturday again and again that he assured me that all work would be done on Friday. I questioned how this could be - same quality work in one visit now? How long I asked? Three to four hours he said. He finally apologized or I was going to cancel right then and there. |The next day, Friday, a truck was waiting with a man on a cell phone and another man approached me and I asked "Are you Richard?" and he said no...I said "Okay, well we better get started!". Within 10 minutes the unidentified second man came in and started working. UNPROFESSIONAL. I had to get up from the couch, correcting papers but unable to concentrate I was so mad - and I introduced myself "Are you Richard?" and he so "No...". I asked how they would dry everything and paint within four hours and they said they had "quick dry plaster" (possibly using wring terminology). 45 minutes later out comes a sort of blow dryer and 10 minutes later - A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES - MY HOUSE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF. One of the men opened the front door after scaring me to death and apparently that sufficed - or so I thought. It wasn't until they were done with a stenchy burning smell that I realized THEY DISCONNECTED MY ALARM!!!!!!!! TO AVOID THE ALARM FROM GOING OFF! THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND UNPROFESSIONAL. NOT TO ADD THAT THE TOTAL VISIT WAS UNDER TWO HOURS. They painted, I paid and they left and I thought "NEVER AGAIN". |It was my first Angie's list experience and not a good one but my brother-in-law and sister rave about Angie's list and have had positive experiences so I'll give it another try if need be. | |I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT HIRE ETC HOME IMPROVEMENT. THEY SAY ONE THING AND DO ANOTHER. THEY LIE. THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL, DO WORK AND ACTIONS WITHOUT LETTING THE CUSTOMER KNOW SUCH AS DETACHING ONE'S SAFETY ALARM. A TWO-DAY WORK JOB TURNED INTO A FOUR-HOUR ONE DAY JOB WITH A "QUICK DO IT AND GET OUT" DRYWALL APPROACH WHICH ITSELF TURNED INTO TWO HOURS. | |DISHONEST IN MANY WAYS, DO NOT DELIVER THE SERVICES THEY SAY THEY WILL RENDER, BAD ATTITUDE.

To start off, they were good. They were punctual. They contacted me and came out right away to assess the work. They showed up a little early to do the work. Starting out, they were pretty efficient. They put down blankets to cover the carpet. Everything seemed fine while they were painting but upon completion of the work there were about 10-15 spots of carpet that had paint on it. They did try to get the paint out themselves but were unsuccessful. When we opened up our closet, there was a good layer of dust on everything in our closet that we had to clean ourselves from the spackling and sanding. To be totally honest, we were able to get some of the small spots up ourselves but there are still some areas that are stained. The paint job was great but the carelessness of the workers is what frustrated me. It is really disappointing to see the companies response to my review as I feel they are pretty much calling me a liar. To say the stains were present before they started couldn't be further from the truth, especially when they did admit to me, at my house, that they caused the stains, which are the exact same color as the paint on the walls. The other fact I find disturbing, is they claim "the paint we use" would come out with a wet rag. Well, for this job, they did not purchase the paint, I did. So the paint they use for other jobs may be water based paint and may come out on other people's carpets, but to make that claim for my situation is completely false. Very disappointing and shocking that they are "resolving" the issue this way. How about at least refunding the cost of the job, since I now have to replace the carpet myself.
Description of Work: I purchased the Big Deal $99 for One Room of Interior Painting. They spackled and painted the master bedroom.

Response from ETC Home Improvement
The first thing we did when we got to the house ,was covering the floor of the room that we were going to paint ,with drop cloths, to protect the floor of any spill or anything that could damage the carpet.after we done the paint job,we took out the drop cloths and vacuum the carpet . Then the owners came to us saying that were some spills of paint in the carpet. The paint we use was water base paint. This kind of paint is very easy to take of any carpet when we do it after the job. And we have try to take those spills with a humid rag , and they did not came out. Then we went to Home Depot , and we bought the best stain remover that they have in stock. We went back to the house with those stain remover and we try to take those spills out and they did not came out. If those spills were from our paint , they would had came out easy with all the things we have used. What means that those spills were there before we start the job. Those spills were not from the paint we use.

They came out right away to measure the area and gave me an estimate within just a couple of days. I was able to keep in contact over the weekend. I was given what I think was a very fair estimate for the bigger paint job I wanted. I have had other, higher, quotes in the past and online estimators also showed ETC's quote to be on the low side. I gave them the whole job based on their attitude and some examples of other projects they presented and the previous good Angie Lists reviews helped a lot in making the decision. They scheduled the project one week after I purchased the deal, on the day I wanted. I had no problem reaching them on the cell from the paint store when I had a question the night before the job. They also would have picked up the paint if I chose that. Edmilson, Francisco and crew were prompt (even having to drive through a snow storm), courteous and professional. They were very considerate and neat. They put down floor and furniture covers quickly and plastic sheets up to shield the rooms that were not involved in the painting. They even made a (free) minor repair to my attic ceiling access panel. They were patient with my having to keep my cats locked up in one room, then relocate to another so the doors could get painted. I also felt comfortable leaving for a short time to pick up my kids from school. The job was finished in one day. This also included a decent amount of spackling and hole-filling / smoothing. The room and hallway were transformed just like that. They cleaned up and even wet-wiped the floor down. They were also a very pleasant group, seemingly to get along well and have a good rapport with each other and playing nice music on the radio, singing along, etc. I would recommend them without hesitation and plan to call them up after the new year for more projects. I really appreciated that they also understood my dilemma with some issues with these future projects I discussed and had valuable advise on how they could handle these. Fantastic job!
Description of Work: I purchased the $99 deal for painting up to 300 sq. ft. of walls, fully intending to get the ceiling, trim, and large 9' wide window (with grid) done if the price and timeline were right. I ended up getting it all painted and even added on 4 bedroom doors and a smaller linen closet door.

I have worked with several people who come and rush on the job all the time to do incomplete jobs. people not interested in their work and purely for money sake, watching clock all the time. these guys were pretty good. The first two hours I was thinking these guys would be done painting the the 12X12 room and went upstairs to checkout when these guys were just done prepping the wall. Things inside the room were neatly wrapped. I have seen people complaining all the time to move this that But these guys were pretty good. I am going to give them my final remodelling job which is bigger than this. I am sure it will go through fine.

Mr. Dacosta and his crew did a fantastic job. My wife and I are very satisfied with his work. After he completed all work he cleaned up very nicely. There were no specks of paint on the floor or any surfaces. Would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

1. The quality ETC-HI's work in this bedroom was absolute top quality. I am particularly impressed with the workmanship on the installation and painting of the baseboard, trim, and crown molding. They did not get any paint on the new hardwood floors that we had just had installed. All three doors open and close perfectly. I have done small amounts of work like this myself (not for hire) in the past, but it never turned out this good. The cost of all this work was $1,850 for the labor. ETC permitted me to purchase the materials myself from various suppliers, although he would have done the purchasing had I wanted. 2. The quality of ETC-HI's work in these two bedrooms was again absolute top quality The labor cost was $1700. I paid for the materials myself. 3. The workmanship in this bathroom was once again absolute top quality. The labor cost to ETC-HI was about $1800. 4, The workmanship in the hallway/stairwell was again excellent. The labor cost to ETC-HI was $2100. ETC-HI is a really a great contractor to work with. The prices are very reasonable in my opinion. And I like the way I am permitted to purchase materials myself from suppliers. There were a few supplies that ETC has purchased - they just bring me the receipt, and I reimburse him the exact amount. The lead employee, Edmillson Costa, is very friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Most of the work is done by Edmillson himself, but for some tasks he brings in help. All of his helpers have had the same level of professionalism as Edmillson.
Description of Work: Up to this date, ETC-HI's work has been in our upstairs bedroom area. 1. In one bedroom (about 12' x 15' and two 2' x 4' closets), ETC-HI removed wall paper, prepared the walls and ceiling for painting (believe me, this was a lot of work after removing this wallpaper), primed and painted the walls and ceiling, hung three new pre-hung solid pine 6-panel doors, installed new baseboard around the entire room and inside the closets, installed new chair rail trim around the entire room, installed new crown molding around the entire room, installed a new window sill under two windows, installed new trim around all three doors and around both windows, installed shelves in the closets, primed and painted all the trim, the closed shelves, and the three doors. 2. In two other bedrooms, which I had already painted the walls and ceiling myself, ETC-HI installed baseboard, installed window sills under three windows, installed four pre-hung 6-panel doors, installed trim around all the doors and windows, and primed and painted all the trim and doors. 3. ETC-HI renovated the guest bathroom in our upstairs. This work included complete demolition of the existing bathroom, preparing the tub/shower walls for tile installation, installing three new pre-hung 6-panel doors, installing window sill under two windows, installing baseboard trim, installing trim around the two windows and the three doors, installing new shelves in the closet, priming and painting the walls and ceiling, priming and painting all the doors and trim. Plumbing, cabinetry, and tile work was done be separate contractors (which ETC-HI recommended to me). 4. ETC-HI renovated our upstairs hallway and stairwell. This work included preparing the walls and ceiling to be painted (the ceiling had textured paint which was extra work), installing new baseboard trim, installing trim around the closet doors, installing new closed doors, installing four shelves in the closet, painting the walls and ceiling in the hallway and stairwell, priming and painting all the trim, closet doors, and shelves, installing a new pull down attic ladder, installing and painting the trim around the attic ladder. The stairs themselves were not worked on at this time. That job will be in the future. Our home renovation is still on-going, and we plan to us ETC-HI as the lead for all of this work. This review will be updated as the work progresses.
