Description of Work: I had outside mouldings scraped and painted, replaced where needed. They also painted both front and back railings. A couple mishaps along the way: paint on the mailbox and front step, miscommunication about replacing front moulding. Tito handled everything without argument or hesitation. He went above and beyond and powerwashed my entire front steps, not just the one step with paint on it. Overall very happy with the end result.

Description of Work: They painted our family room which is modest in size but has a lot of detailing like built in bookcases, a wood fireplace and a sliding door. Did a great job and would definitely use them again.

Dear [member name removed], I sincerely apologize for any confusion. I have scoured all of our contact points: Angie's List email system, our web form, voicemails (we have a log of every call into us), our sales system, and I spoke with our Whippany Estimator. We have absolutely no record of you reaching out to us. I'm not sure what happened. If you still have a home improvement need, we would love to speak with you - (973) 775-9298. I'm sorry for any confusion. Ty Monk

Description of Work: I did not actually use Monk's to paint the exterior of my house, as I found a painter who was able to do it less expensively (and the quality of the job was not as much of a concern to me). But the employee from Monks who came out to estimate was very professional and helpful in explaining details. He also made sure to follow up with me. Monks seems like a reliable company to do business with.

Description of Work: We needed a ceiling painted on short notice. Greg was prompt. The work was thorough. They not only painted but also made some repairs. They seem to charge a little more but the work is always well done.

I regret that you were unhappy with how we discussed this potential project with you. It is always my goal to be as upfront and forthcoming about any possible issues during the estimate process. I want our potential customers to fully understand all the work involved, and I want to provide an estimate that will best reflect the final cost. I apologize if I came off badly during our meeting. I sincerely hope that your project is a success with whomever you choose to do the work. Ty Monk
