The work was completed timely, but many areas needed additional attention and cleanup. . The work was lacking in attention to detail; paint was left on exterior surfaces, driveway, front stoop, hose timer, etc.; foreman was responsive to areas only when we pointed out deficiencies; screws were lost for front storm door; caulk/glazing compound was left/embedded into new driveway
Description of Work: Exterior painting of windows, doors and door trim.

We went with somebody else that was rated higher on Angie's List. It wasn't anything that Rutger's did wrong. They were quick with their quote and they gave competitive pricing. We would consider using them again in the future.

Very professional service from initial meeting to project completion. The crew arrived when they were scheduled were careful and cleaned up at the end of each day. The job was finished on schedule, even though there was a day of rain. I am very pleased with the work and would definitely use Rutgers again.

They had 5-6 people always at the house. Started at 8:00 am and usually finished at 6:00pm. Worked saturdays from 9:00am to after 6:30pm. After they were done, we pointed out some minor issues that had to be addressed like paint on floor of the porch and other issues. Most were addressed. Still have to do some minor clean-up, no big deal. But the house looks great and should last for years!
Description of Work: strip,scape and sanded exterior. Primed and repainted exterior house, window trim, porch railing and sanded and re-stained 2 exterior doors.

Great. Prompt for the estimate and the start date for the job. It's noisy and unpleasant having the much of the house sanded (it was overdue when we moved in), but that's not their fault. They sanded under a tarp to keep dust down. Did a great, quick job once the painting started. I would give them all 5's except for one thing - washing the deck splintered the wood in spots, which required them to go over it with sand paper by hand. I think because this was the last part of the job, they rushed a little and some parts of the railing were not sanded very well before they stained. I would call them again. I will probably use them for some interior painting in the next several months.
Description of Work: Sanded and painted the exterior of my house. Power-washed and stained the deck.

Description of Work: I am a property manager and needed to have exterior metal decks painted for a condo building. The overall experience and quality of the work was great. I found out about them from a neighbor that had the exterior if their house painted. The job was phenomenal.

The job took slightly longer than quoted, but they were very professional about it. The original work did not include the foundation; yet, one of the painter accidentally painted it (wrong color too). But the company agreed to paint the rest on their dime. Good company.
Description of Work: The company painted the entire exterior of the house.

From start to finish, we were very happy with all interactions with the crew. The estimate was by far the lowest we received. Every time we called the office, our calls were answered and our concerns/questions were immediately addressed. The painters were here when they said they would be, their work is beautiful, and they cleaned up meticulously. We would recommend them without reservations for any painting projects, and we plan to use them again as soon as we have another job to be done.
Description of Work: They scraped, reglazed and painted the exterior of our 17 windows. We have 60 year-old, six over six windows that we love and didn't want to replace. The Rutgers Painting crew did a wonderful job getting our windows back in excellent condition. They also painted our trim to match the windows.

They painted our circa 1920's Colonial in the summer and did an absolutely FANTASTIC job. The gutter cleaning business is a secondary service they provide in the off season, but don't heavily advertise. I would HIGHLY recommend them for both their exterior house painting expertise and competitive gutter cleaning service. Their pricing is very competitive and ensuring customer satisfaction is their number one goal. They are all around prompt, professional, easy to deal with, and stand behind their work 100%. They've exceeded our expectations both times we've dealt with them and I'd recommend them to anyone in the market for either service. Older homes are their specialty, so they know exactly how to deal with all of the little complexities/idiosyncrasies that come with the territory (stripping, sanding, wooden shutters, slate roofs, unusual features, etc.).
