Foreman showed up on time for the estimate, then he and his crew arrived on time to do the work. Clean up was great as was the final product.

I was thrilled with the work that Monk’s did for me and would highly recommend them for floor sanding and finishing work. I really like that Jason walks through the project and everything is detailed and written in a contract so there is no miscommunication.
Description of Work: I hired Monk’s to finish the floors on several rooms on my main floor. Jason Solomon was wonderful to work with and make the entire process as smooth as possible. We set a date to complete the work and everyone was there as planned and walked through the work that needed to be done. Jason was very helpful in deciding what work we should do and the best way to make sure the floor transitions worked out and was seamless.

They are prompt, professional, courteous. Ryan is a great liaison - he tells you everything that's being done, still to be done, and communicates what work will go on every day. I only had two quality problems so far - the wrong paint was used on one wall (fixed), and one of the basement windows leaked (fixed). As you can see they fixed them both, and everything else is of high quality.
Description of Work: Laundry list of remodeling - refinish floors, new closet, some new windows, paint, trim, assorted smaller items.

The work went extremely well and looks amazing. I spoke with a number of companies but decided to go with Monk's. Jason Solomon was fantastic to work with throughout our project. He was very professional and extremely helpful throughout the process. The project was clear and I really appreciated his thoroughness and follow-up throughout my experience working with Jason. Everything went as expected and it was truly a pleasure to work with Jason and his team. I would absolutely recommend hiring Monk's again due to my experience and will be hiring them again for a larger painting and carpentry project.
Description of Work: I needed carpentry work done on the top of my house due to wood that was rotting as well as painting several areas of my house. For the carpentry work, they replaced areas with composite material and painted it.

AMAZING!!!! We have used other painters in the past who were cheaper but the work was not even close to the quality of Monk's. We payed more but it was worth it. Our home looks beautiful. They were polite, punctual, very neat, and outstanding painters. They are easy to work with and made sure we were happy during and after job completion.

Travis from Monk's was completely professional and his men did a great job. I called the main office of Monk's and was given a call back by Travis within 24 hours. In around a week, all of my work was finished. I thought it would take much longer to even get someone over to give me an estimate. I didn't get many estimates but from what I had Monk's was in line. I would definitely hire Travis and his team again.
Description of Work: We had general work that needed to be done in a couple around the house. Painting a ceiling and basement floor, Outside power washing of the house and carpentry work and painting of the outside front columns.

Monks was excellent. I called for an estimate and Angelo Santoro was out the following day. He was prompt and after I explained what we needed done he gave us his expert opinion as well as an estimate right on the spot. The team they sent to do the work was excellent and did everything to treat our home with care. Angelo contacted us throughout the process checking in on anything we needed and he also followed up after the project was completed to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. They did an excellent job and I would recommend them to any/all in the area looking to do work to their home.

They were fabulous and I can't recommend them highly enough. Not only did they cover EVERYTHING, they taped it all down to keep the dust to a bare minimum. They patched spots I didn't even know I had. I had a deep crack in one wall and drywall tape that was pulling up at the top of a loft wall (2stories high) that needed to be repaired. You would never know these spots had an issue now. Also took off wallpaper in bathroom before painting. They came at the exact time promised each day and worked a full day. Quiet, courteous, very professional. They checked to make sure everything was what I wanted. They were worth every penny.
Description of Work: Painted about 90% of my condo. Lots of small patches needed to be repaired (nail holes, cracks, drywall tape that was pulling up.)

As they promised, Monk's finished painting the entire house in about two days. The owner was polite and extremely helpful. He responded quickly to my calls and text messages. After just one day of dealing with Monk's and seeing how they operated, we were already discussing the next project we would call them for. Highly satisfied.
