Response from Gikas Painting, Roofing and Restoration
The way the deal works is very clearly stated on the coupon The extra charge was based on the extra hours that the painters needed to log in order to complete the job and they did work hard to deliver a quality job I am not supposed to look on the jobs before i send my painters for this particular type of deal. Based on the deal we provide labor(16 hours) for generally small projects and costumers buy the paint and direct our painters on what rooms they want to paint. You belong to 1% of costumers that have vented frustration with this kind of deals( i understand you expected to paint a lot more with $499 that you paid for the coupon) and blown it with bad review against the company As far as l know we handled the project very professionally,we came by your house in time,cleaned after ourselves and delivered quality job that you already signed off when the painters left.

Description of Work: They left some painted and some unpainted moldings where they had already started to paint a room, the rooms also needed a second coat, I guess they were hoping we would rehire them to finish.

Thank you for your review It helps us improve the quality I believe this was a job that you had purchased a coupon through the Angies List The 2 workers have 8 hours to complete the task that you are giving them and that may have had an effect on the quality of the work Please call us for your next project Thanks

Description of Work: Walked around, verbally gave me a price to which I responded negatively. Then when offered a lower price, I asked the representative to leave. |This is not a negotiated process; provide your best price and NOT SEE WHAT YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH!!!!! |If I were to "ask" if there was any negotiability, fine, but don't start hi and then when negatively received ask "How about this price" |POOR technique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Response from Gikas Painting, Roofing and Restoration
During all these years that l am in business it has never occurred to me that I am being asked to leave after l present the price The guy is a weathered businessman(he was in the business of selling floor supplies) so how can l trick him? I told him a price that l thought is fair for my standards (it was $3400 actually and not $3800) He said he got a price for $2500 if l remember correct I said that the lowest l could go was at $2900 If he found a price lower than mine it's so good for him and we discussed this I told him that he will always find lower prices so why he got so surprised as l am sure he understands that first it's a free market and second , in this business prices don't work the same as when you selling shellac Every job is different and has a lot of complexities that l have to figure out and build them in the price We had a very amicable conversation for about 15 min discussing different things He seemed to be a real gentleman to ask me to leave after l presented him the price You have to be a very rude person to do that I am wondering to find out what are the motivations for this gentleman to lie that he asked me to leave and then post this to Angies List especially as l did not do any work for him and l should get straight A except the price

Description of Work: 6 rooms had the ceilings prepared and painted. We had had a number of lighting fixtures replaced as well as having had central a/c installed which caused some damage to the ceilings. They were very good, they covered the walls and everything below in plastic and cleaned up completely when they were finished. Quality job.

Description of Work: This was the best deal I purchased to date. George from Gikas was great. He climbed my steep roof, repaired several loose shingles, corked an area that could have leaked in the future, cleaned gutters and inspected the entire roof. He was informative and took pictures while explaining everything. I would highly recommend them. I'm a Realtor and try a lot a contractors between myself and my clients. Gikas is one I will use again and refer.

Description of Work: Placed order on line. Got a return email from the agent indicating that I was to call them and then they would call me. I called on Tuesday, MArch 17 in the am and again on Thursday, March 19th in the am, Did not receive any return calls. Waited until Friday, March 20th in the afternoon and called your agent to advise and cancel my order. If the agent does not call to schedule an appt with a customer than I am assuming I am going to have problems with service as I go forward. I would rather use someone else on the List. I explained all of this in detail to your call center yesterday.

Response from Gikas Painting, Roofing and Restoration
AGAIN I STAND BY MY STORY. I DID RETURN THE CALL.HAD NO REASON NOT TO CALL AND SCHEDULE A JOB THAT WAS SOLD ALREADY.(fyi,we get paid when we finish the job) MY OFFICE HAD ASKED THIS PERSON TO GIVE AN E MAIL ADDRESS FOR FASTER AND BETTER COMMUNICATION AND SHE DECLINED. I HAVE CONTACTED ANGIES AND ASK THEM TO PROVIDE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR COSTUMERS THAT PLACE AN ORDER. ITS A LOT EASIER THAT WAY. Most of my F's come from costumers that have not provided an email address to me as it becomes difficult for me to communicate with them for scheduling etc.

Description of Work: They did a great job painting one room, I would rate lower because I hoped to accomplish more for $500/16 hour. Last time that room was done it cost $350, so this price was not as good. I hoped to do the adjacent hallway and some trim elsewhere, and spoke with the painter about it but I was never contacted with a quote or to pursue. Left me feeling I'd paid too much for too little work. That said, it was well done, they were professional, and cleaned up. No complaints about the work itself, just the amount of work for what should've been a 'big' deal - didn't feel like one. They paced the work and were more or less done by 3:30, gone by 4:30 leaving as much as 3 hours of work that I paid for (between two workers) not done.

Response from Gikas Painting, Roofing and Restoration
Thank you for the feedback on this job. If you called the office asking for a quote on additional work you wanted to do l would have stopped by the same or the next day.The painters were instructed to work those 16 hours for whatever task you give them. If you gave them more tasks they did not have to leave at 4;30.they would have stayed to complete those 3 hours left.We can issue a refund for those 3 hours or we will give a discount if you call back for the other projects.
