INGERSOLL PAINTING AND CONSTRUCTION INC

This was our second time using Ingersoll, and we were very satisfied once again. I sent an email (which was answered within one hour), and after that the scheduling was smooth and easy. Sky came out, listened to what we wanted done, gave us an estimate--and about a week or so later the project was finished. Amen to that. And there was this: the work came in under budget. When does that ever happen?

I have a conflicted response to this company: Some good; some bad. Good things: The team of workers who did the work on my house were courteous. They were hard-working and all around nice guys. They were very professional in showing up for the scheduled estimate and in keeping in contact. The office manager was also good in keeping in prompt contact. Also, I believe that Ingersoll treats their workers well and pays them fairly. Very important! Bad things: First let me mention that my job cost over $30,000. It wasn't cheap. And they nickel and dimed me for every small thing (they were actually going to charge me extra for painting my front door... as if door-painting wasn't included in a house-painting job!). For that amount of money, one should expect TOP NOTCH service and quality work. But 6 months after the job, and my front stairs are chipped and peeling. They look terrible. Yes, it was a hard winter. But surely a fresh paint job should last MORE THAN ONE YEAR -- regardless of the weather conditions. These stairs were built new -- new wood with new paint; and after 6 months, they are chipped and peeled all over. They claim that this degree of chipping and peeling is and quot;normal.and quot; {FYI: There are three houses on my block that also have painted wood stairs exposed to the weather. Those three houses were painted 5-9 years ago. I inspected the stairs on those houses. Their stairs are no where NEAR as chipped up and peeled as mine are. And -- needless to say -- they get the same weather that I get!} So, the bottom line is: I would suggest that you save your money and go with a different company. Ingersoll was the *most expensive* company to give me an estimate. I chose them because I thought I was choosing quality and service. Six months later, it seems I am getting no better quality/service than I would have gotten if I would have gone with one of the cheaper companies. Sorry, Ingersoll. I wanted to love your company since you are local and take care of your workers well. But, you were a disappointment. $32,000 is a lot of money for this poor service and so much chipping after 6 months. If you are going to charge more than your competitors in the area, people are going to expect better service.

Installation went very well. Work area was cleaned up of materials at the end of each work day and left in a clean and safe condition for the occupants. Very good company.

It was a huge undertaking for us, and Ingersoll was the right company for the job. Andy and his crew were professional, courteous, fun--and flexible when things went off script from time to time. (Even the dog liked having everybody around.) The costs were fair, and the financial end was handled very clearly and carefully, with every penny accounted for. We don't want this to sound too good to be true, but it was truly a pleasure to work with everyone at Ingersoll. We will definitely work with them in the future.

They were extremely professional and extremely thorough. They are extremely helpful in terms of explaining the details of the paint job and what they would do. They were very knowledgeable. I was really impressed on how they treat their employees. They were respectful with their employees and take care of them. The quote was way too high though.

I called Ingersoll Painting and Construction Inc to remodel my kitchen and paint. They are very dependable, punctual, professional and quality of work is excellent.

went well...used them 2 years ago and the job is still in very good condition

I have used their services before. They do high quality work and make sure they get the job done right, even if they have to come back. They are good about cleaning up after themselves. The only negative is that you need to schedule quite a bit ahead for any major remodeling. Once they are there they stay until the work is done.

The paint job was excellent.
