Jeff Lawler was very personable, prompt, professional, and courteous. He came and gave us an estimate for the work to be done and walked us through the preparation we needed to do, what his team would do, and what the entire process entailed. We agreed on the dates for the work to begin and length of time needed to complete the project. Dan, Jack, and Scott, came on time each day, and did a great job! We are very pleased with the finished product. Our home looks new and so clean and bright with the new paint. Jeff and his crew were a pleasure to work with and have in our home all day for three full, consecutive days. We would recommend them highly and will certainly use them again for our painting needs. They made a stressful project enjoyable for us and we are thrilled with the results!!
Description of Work: Painted the entire interior of our home, including a two story stairway and hall, and preparing the house for painting which included spackling, taping, and smoothing surfaces.

Neil and Barbara were a delight to work with! They did a fabulous job in preparing for our visit, relocating stuff and cleaning up so we'd be able to jump right in and be productive. It's great when customers are like team members working towards the same goal!

Jeff's crew did an incredible job with the kitchen and family room. The wallpaper in the kitchen had been up for 13 years and it was very hard to remove. They also repaired some wall damage. The end result for both rooms was beautiful. We were incredibly happy with Jeff and his crew. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them.

Jeff and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start, he was punctual with returning calls, coming in for looking at the worksite, providing estimates. He did a very thorough review of the home. Then, he promptly turned around a firm estimate which was better than the estimates provided by other companies, though not the lowest. The job was started and finished on schedule. Jeff even accommodated some changes we requested. His team was very thorough in removing electrical fixtures and mirrors and re-installing them after the job. Every day, they were meticulous about cleaning up after the day's work. The team paid close attention to even small imperfections in our walls and ceiling and took the trouble of sanding, filling and repainting all of them. As much as we value his work, he was also helpful in referring us to other contractors (for windows, plumbing, carpentry etc.) that we needed while moving into a new home. In particular, he recommended a color consultant (Susanne) who did a great job in helping us select colors and finishes for our home. At the end of about a week, our home looked great and one thing we don't have to worry about is the quality and finish of the pain job in the house. I would recommend his team strongly and will certainly use their services again.

This company simply can NOT be beat! They are professional, friendly, and punctual. They painted two very large rooms with lots of crown mouldings, chair rails, two stairways, and baseboards. The attention to detail is unsurpassed - we could not be happier.

The attention to detail is unsurpassed - we could not be happier. They scraped away peeling surfaces, and smoothed out plaster walls so that there is NO sign that the walls had to be re-skimmed - perfect!

Overall the job went perfectly and the work is excellent. Hurricane Sandy interrupted our originally scheduled date, but Jeff rescheduled as quickly as possible after my power and heat were back on. After the job was completed I looked all around and didn't find a single spot where paint was dripped or something was missed. I was really impressed by the quality of work, especially as it was completed so quickly. Jeff and his team do a really fantastic job!
Description of Work: When Jeff completed the quote he asked pertinent questions and made excellent suggestions regarding the work to be done. Jeff told me that he is particular about the quality of work he does, and said that he pays attention to detail. This was immediately evident in that I received his quote quickly and it was very thorough. I thought the price was very good. Jeff and Dave painted my small kitchen and large family room, and also painted some areas where repairs had been made (approximately 1 wall) between the living and dining rooms. I provided the paint. True to his word, he was very attentive to quality and detail. I watched him use a brush at the top of the wall at the ceiling, and he was able to paint a perfect line along the top of the wall without touching the ceiling. I thought that his capability to do something so delicate so well was really incredible. Jeff and Dave did an excellent job! Besides being personable and professional, they paid attention to detail, completed the work quickly and were attentive to my needs with respect to timing. I will certainly recommend them whenever I have the opportunity.

Jeff and his partners Jack and Dave were all so pleasant to deal with and professional. I would highly recommend J.T. Lawler, Inc. to anyone! .
Description of Work: Jeff and two of his partners came to our home and repaired a water damaged ceiling in our kitchen: tape, spackle, sand, and sealed stains. Then they primed and painted the ceiling. Jeff also repaired a water damaged ceiling, and wall in the master bathroom. The water damage was quite extensive, particularly in the bathroom. After the water damage was repaired the ceiling and wall was given 2 coats of quality paint appropriate for a bathroom. I must say the ceiling and wall looked amazing when the work was completed.

All in all the work went very well. The "popcorn" ceiling removal was a major, messy undertaking accomplished over a several day period. By thoroughly covering the carpets and other floors of the house the final clean up was excellent. Even with the difficult nature of this task there were minimal areas that needed to be spackled and repaired prior to painting. After painting the ceilings are outstanding, smooth, clean and pure white. The painting of the trim and walls also went well. Since this was a whole house painting project the work took several days. Aside from one young worker, Jeff's crew was exceptionally professional and thorough in the accomplishment of this painting project. Trim lines and borders are crisp and sharp, the painting of the wall areas are smooth and uniform. I am very, very pleased with how the interior painting of the house turned out. The quality of the work completely exceeded my expectations. The dedication and professionalism of most of the crew is a credit to their craft and JTLawler LLC. I would definitely use this company again for any future interior painting work and recommend them to friends and family.
Description of Work: I contracted Jeff to have his crew remove the "popcorn" ceilings through out the house then to spackle, sand and paint all the ceilings, trim and walls in all the rooms, bathrooms and hallways.

Jeff came on time at 8:00 AM left about 3 PM. I paid Jeff by check Had two helper one seem to be a young unexperienced man the other older but still lack the desired skilled as discoverd laterHaving confidence in Jeff I did not interfer but was quite surprised they finished the job much earlier than originally estimatedLater I found major problems with the job brush marks almost in every window, sanding debries overpainted, some areas missed I sent Jeff an e mail describing my dissatisfaction he came and inspected and agreed with my complaintHe scheduled another visit 2-3 weeks later and came by himself spent 21/2 hours patching the obvious problemsJeff was on time and tried his best to correct the problems but overall the job needed much highr skill than what he offered in his original meeting.I later found out that due to lack of experience and basic knowledge many windows glass was sanded by inproper use of sand paper. This really bothered me a lot since it can not be fixed also paint peeled off in some windows after many days due to probably poor priming. Overall I regreted using this contractor, I found no reason to contact Jeff again.

Factual accuracy counts, especially in this type of situation. It was not 3 weeks, but two days before I returned to correct the problems. They were small, not "major", and caused by debris blowing through windows that had to be left open to be painted. All work was done professionally and neatly with top quality products. All of our work is guaranteed for a year, as I told the customer. What is not mentioned in this review is the fact that we painted additional areas that were not included in the contract, but we noticed they needed some attention and went ahead and addressed them. We also decided, since we had the ladder out for high window areas, that it would be a good idea to take Windex and paper towels and clean all the high glass, as it would be easier for us to do than for the customer to attempt at a later time. That was a scary thought for a retired guy. The windows really needed a good cleaning, and it made everything look better! We'd love to satisfy each and every customer every single time. That's our goal, and we strive mightily to accomplish that on all of our jobs. Unfortunately, sometimes that's not a goal that can be reached, but we'll keep making the effort. It's what we've done for 26 years, and it seems to have worked well so far!”

Jeff and his team were amazing from start to finish. My husband and I were in tight spot as we were trying to get the job done before we moved into our new home and every other painter we spoke to either come in with a crazy price (due to our older home's cracked plaster walls) or couldn't get in to do the job for weeks. Jeff emailed me back right away, came out to see the house the next day and his team was able to get the job done just in time (and we only had a week long window!). He was extremely nice, very knowledgeable in his field (especially older homes), and his team did an amazing job! The rooms look amazing - we will definitely hire him when we want to paint the other rooms in our house and recommend him to everyone!

The work was performed beautifully. I was so impressed with Jeff and his team. They are very professional and respond quickly to inquiries. I've never worked with a contractor before who actually showed up exactly on time, and even called to let me know when one of his crew was going to be unavoidably delayed (by less than 40 minutes!) Such a breath of fresh air. His team not only did quality work, but they are quality people and communicate with you, explaining everything that is being done. I would recommend JT Lawler in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: The work involved removing the wallpaper from and painting an entrance foyer, kitchen, powder room, laundry room, various doors and trim. The door to the basement had wallpaper on it and was in terrible shape underneath. We thought we'd have to get a new door, but they managed to find a creative way to restore it, it looks brand new. That saved us quite a bit of money. ( I wish these guys were also auto mechanics!) Some areas of the rooms had panelling which was also removed and painted and you cannot tell anything was there before. All the rooms look brand new now.

We were looking for someone to remove very old wallpaper in our closet and den, as well as repair the walls and ready them for new paint. Not much luck until we joined Angie's list. I found Jeff, immediately, checked out all his reviews and ratings, gave him a call and right on time, he showed, up at the house, checked out the job, presented the estimate/contract, when he said he would and gave us a start date. After we signed the contract and with the scope of work that had to be done, we were prepared to be in a mess for a full week. Well, Jeff and his crew showed up on Monday, on time, moved the furniture, did all the paper removal, repaired and prepared the walls, painted, cleaned up, and finished on Tuesday. WOW! Jeff is a professional with a personality. We both felt comfortable enough with him, that we did not feel the need to check out any other painters. We will be starting on the 1st floor in a few months and JT Lawler, Inc. will be our first call for the job.

I decided to hire JT Lawler after reading all of the positive reviews. I was not disappointed. If you are looking for a professional, reliable, stand-up businessperson, look no more. Jeff was punctual. Arrived exactly when he said he would every day he worked in my home (4). He is a perfectionist and recommended the best paint (Benjamin Moore Aura). I hired a color consultant recommended by Jeff. I have a pretty good eye for color but I don't think I could have made as good a selection on my own so I was glad I hired Susanne ($130.00/90 minutes). After all of the wallpaper was removed, the walls looked like swiss cheese. They were in awful condition. Jeff got those walls smoothed out and, after the paint was applied, I felt as though I had brand new walls. My house got a facelift. JT Lawler has been hired to paint the shudders and front door on my home and shed. They are expected to do this work late April/early May. I will return to write another review when that work is completed. I feel confident it will be glowing.

The job went well. Price was beyond our budget but Jeff works with you to keep it down. We had just closed on the house and wanted him to finish as much as possible before we moved in. The entire house was painted in a week's time and that helped with the move and unpacking. We also asked for quotes from a couple of other painters. They were all in the ball park but would have taken anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks. Given the move and the unpacking we wanted the job to be done as quickly as possible. Jeff worked with his crew of four and painted the entire house plus the finished basement in one week.
