Excellent work done by entire crew

unknown

Everything went very well,I was very pleased.

gentlemen were prompt and professional. i would highly recommend this team!

In late July I contacted four painters I identified through Angie's list. Three of the painters (Westside, Gegg and RW MIller) responded within a day to my request to discuss an estimate for painting my house. The fourth (Brandt) did not call back until 2 weeks later. He left a message that he was on vacation and just got the message. I did not contact him as I had already selected my painter by the time I heard from him. Within one week of my initial contacts the three painters came out. RW Miller came within 2 days. RW provided me with a written estimate and a folder providing information regarding the materials he uses, his business credentials, and a binder filled with reviews by previous customers. Gegg came out and within a day I had an estimate e mailed to me. It took a week for Westside to send someone. Westside also send an estimate electronically. I had a couple of questions for RW and he came to the house, answered the questions and adjusted the estimate for me at that time. Gegg's estimate was the lowest and his schedule for the worked would have been late August or early September. Westside's estimate was the highest (by a large margin) and I was told we could be on the schedule within 2-3 weeks. RW's estimate was in the middle. He was clear that the stain work would all be done with brushes, no spray painting. RW said that he would be able to start the work about the third week in September. RW called before the third week and he was there with his crew as stated during the third week. It was a rainy period so the work was spread out over 3 weeks. The work was outstanding. The crew was very professional, care, clean and courteous. The cost was as estimated - no new costs. I'm very pleased with the work and the company. I would definitely hire this company again.

The home looks great! My neighbors even noticed how good the house looked.

This company if FANTASTIC! From the very start I could tell he was hugely professional. He was timely, incredibly organized, extremely thoughtful of my home. I'm wishing he also covered, electrical, plumbing, and home remodeling in his business plan because he would be my first choice for everything!

Mr. Miller did an exceptional job. He worked with me when I was having trouble with a window install that should have been completed by the time he started. The window installer had used a silicon caulk despite being told that the windows were going to be painted. Mr. Miller tried twice to paint these windows and had to clean off the paint. In what may be a solution to the problem, Mr. Miller applied two coats of acrylic primer plus a finish coat at no additional cost. The job began in June of 2010, but due to the window problems did not get completed until this year when Mr. Miller came back to paint the barns. I've already asked him to come back next year to do some trim that I had painted prior to engaging his services, and I have a quote for some interior painting. Mr. Miller is a true professional who does quality work with quality materials. He's neat and doesn't cut corners. He wasn't the least expensive of the painters from whom I got estimates, but in the end one gets what one pays for. Mr. Miller brought a book that literally contained hundreds of references and I was free to pick whomever I wanted to call. I was very impressed with the references and satisfied customers with whom I talked. If you want someone who will do a good job on your house, Mr. Miller is your man.

I was fortunate enough to find Ryan at the home show in Clifton Park...I was impressed by both his demeanor and professional attitude....so I asked that he come by and provide an estimate of the work I needed done after winter wreaked havoc in my home....He came by and provided me not only with an estimate but with a book of recommendations from former customers and proof of insurance.....I hired him to do the job in my town home....cathedral ceilings 1st and 2nd floor, hallway, living room/dining room, kitchen and foyer/loft upstairs...it was a two day project, they arrived promptly each day and did a great job of cleaning up .....and the bottom line.....I LOVE the finished product!! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Painters come to the house and place drop clothes on all floors (entranceway to room being worked on). Very professional, courteous and prompt. Paint job is superb. They are always neat -the area they work in is always left cleaner than when they arrive. You can not even tell workmen have been in the house. Prices are reasonable. Personnel excellent. Have used this company three times and the same painters have come to the house each time. The only down side is that the company is so popular, there is a wait time for services to be done (approximately one month). I would definitely use them again and have already recommended them to others.

11/17-19/2010: Crew of 2 was on time and immediately put down drop cloths from the front door to the rooms they would be working in. The original job Ryan and his crew were to do was not what they ended up doing because I made a number of changes Ryan was very flexible, incorporating those changes and adjusting the bill accordingly. Our house has "popcorn" ceilings, but their sprayer malfunctioned and they could not spray paint the family room and large bath ceilings at this time. Bill adjusted again. Estimate given for painting every ceiling in the house except 2 bedrooms & 2 baths. Date of 01/31/2011 set for painting ceilings. Very nice job done; post-job clean up and took away large bag of painters' tape & plastic. 01/31/2011: Prior to this date, Ryan confirmed that he and his crew would be at our home January 31st. Crew arrived on time, covered floors with drop cloths, removed ceiling light fixtures, ceiling fan blades and covered walls and large furniture left in rooms with plastic. Spray painted ceilings as agreed, cleaned up and removed any debris. I was impressed with how well they protected the furniture that could not be moved and the walls & floors of the rooms. Excellent job. Very satisfied.

professional behavior, prompt response, reasonable price. too soon to judge durability

My house is 55 years old, with cedar siding all around. It takes stain rather than paint. I'll use the generic "paint" below. During the initial estimate Mr. Miller identified some rotting boards, and we had them replaced (separately) before the job started. While the paint job was in process the crew pointed out some additional rotting boards (the diagnosis was legit -- the boards were spongy) and helped me identify a carpenter to replace them (cost of carpenter was separate). My wife and I had selected the trim paint based on Consumer Reports. During the first day's work, Mr. Miller's crew stated that the paint was covering poorly. I agreed with them, and authorized another coat of the trim, which cost about $500 extra for the labor. Not cheap, but I felt it was a fair price given that it would add almost a day to their overall job. (I might have felt differently if they had chosen the paint and it didn't cover, but I had made that choice.) My wife and I changed the paint color (for the main siding) dramatically after the first coat, because we felt it clashed with our roof shingles. The painters took it in stride -- more bemusement than anything. Fortunately, the second coat was a darker color and mostly covered the first. In the few places it didn't, the crew did the minor touchups without charging us more. The overall job took 3-4 days. The crew was very careful and precise. They did not disturb our shrubs and plants around the outside. They were punctual and polite -- completely professional -- at all times. This is an easy and obvious recommendation for me. Ryan Miller is the first (and possibly only) painter I would call if I had another paint job.

Ryan came and gave me an estimate. Very professional appearance and demeanor. He showed me proof of insurance and left me with a written estimate. The price was what I expected. I made an appointment. Ryan called me and confirmed the following week. Two painters arrived on time. They were very detail oriented in their work. The job took two days. I was very pleased with the outcome. The shutters look amazing. Highly recommend.

The guys did a fantastic job and when we ask to do some touch up they did it without lengthy discussions

He was very good. He was professional and punctual. He did a lot of work for the price he charged. He painted the oil based paint on the cabinets and it came out very nice. It looks good.

They arrived on the days they stated, the crew of three (Ryan, Mark and Joshua) worked hard and quietly, they finished and cleaned up and did an excellent job: paint applied carefully, quality of product used was appropriate for covering aluminum, careful in climbing on roof for second-story and when using ladders.

They were on-time, quiet, pleasant, considerate and cleaned up afterward. It was totally stress-free. Worth every penny!

Found name in Angie's List. Contacted firm. R Miller came to the house as and when advised to review job. Quote was received. Subsequently called Miller to authorize work and get on schedule. Work performed professionally with 3 man (Miller + 2 others) crew. Kept the work area and lay-down areas neat and tidy at all times.

Very neat workers. Covered all plants and patio area with drop cloths. They were quiet, very careful, and did a great job.

Everything went excellent. They were very prompt, professional, and cleaned up after themselves very well. It only took them about a week to get everything done, and it was right on with the estimate. I would definitely recommend them to others, and plan on using them again for the interior.

This was a very good experience. Ryan came out for an estimate in December and we immediately scheduled some time on his calendar. Before he began, Ryan reviewed the job in writing which he and his crew were to do. We signed off on any revisions as well as paint colors. We were very comfortable with his professionalism and knew what to expect at every step of the process. Ryan and his crew of two showed up promptly on a Monday morning and worked until the job was done and done well late on Friday night. Friday night, at 6:45, we reviewed the job together and, upon noticing an imperfection, he had Mark pull out a brush and fix it immediately. They did a very good job. What would we change? 1. Prep before they come. For example, we would have sanded the baseboards instead of painting over the bumpiness, 2. The dust from sanding was everywhere. Block up any holes, under the doors, etc., 3. Ask them to shake the drop cloths outside, & 4. Check the clean up (sprinkles).

The workers arrived as scheduled. They worked well together and did all the preparation work in a professional manner. (My wife said they did all the things she would have tried to do if she were doing the work!) There was no request for payment until all the work was done to our satisfaction. While this was not the least expensive price quote we received, the recommendations of previous clients led us to choose the Miller firm. We are extremely pleased with the choice.

Mr. Miller came at the appointed time and got right to work. He was polite and contentious. He covered anything that could have been in danger of drips and he also did a great job of clean up. The rooms look just fine and I would feel comfortable recommending them to others who need a painter.

HE WAS VERY NEAT AND VERY TIMELY. HE HAD A GROUP OF MEN WORKING WITH HIM AND THEY WERE ALL GENTLEMEN. WHATEVER HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO HE DID. HE REMOVED ALL THE DOWNSPOUTS, DOORBELL AND OTHER THINGS BEFORE STAINING. HE WAS VERY GOOD AND UNOBTRUSIVE. WE INTERVIEWED FOUR OTHER PAINTERS. HE WAS NOT THE MOST OR LEAST EXPENSIVE. WE LIKED EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM AS HE LOOKED AT THE HOUSE AND PREPARED THE ESTIMATE. WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO START, HE FINISHED IT IN THE TIME PROMISED.
