George & his team were wonderful from start to finish. They are kind, friendly, timely, meticulous and thorough.They did things the right way and made our old home look fresh and full of life. They were a pleasure to have around and they did a beautiful job. They were worth every single penny.
Description of Work: We had our house scrapped, patched, primed, and painted. The house was built in 1927 and has largely original clapboard, and it had not been painted in over 10 years (we think). It's a large house and required substantial scrapping and patching, gutter work, trim replacement, and a small roof repair.

I had George come by and give me an estimate. He was initially prompt in returning my phone calls and came and met with me to discuss the job. He showed pictures of houses he had painted in my neighborhood and told me to think about the color scheme and get back to him if I wanted him to finish the estimate. I got back to him a few days later and he did leave an estimate in my mailbox the following week. I called two days after receiving the estimate and left a message stating that I would like to sign a contract and schedule the work. That was over six weeks ago now and I have yet to hear back. I have left several messages, but have yet to receive a call back. George seemed knowledgeable and capable and I would have very much liked to hire him, but his lack of responsiveness has made that impossible. Even if he suddenly got too busy to do the job, a simple return call would be nice.
Description of Work: Gave an estimate for painting a front porch.

.George was the first to give me an estimate. He was prompt, immediately available and the weather was good. Since his estimate was fair as well, I had him do the work and called off other painters that were to come for an estimate. He and his helper came as planned for 2 days and did a good job. George himself is excellent and obviously very experienced, his younger mate was OK. All in all I am satisfied with the paint job as it looks now. Of course winter will tell!
Description of Work: Outside painting: 2 garage doors, 3 doors, 3 large windows and several small ones. Several metal structures.

George and Josh were great! They cleaned up at the end of every day and kept their equipment out of the way as much as possible. They would even drag my garbage and recycling bins back from the curb! The deck, which had been mauled by carpenter bees the year before, and was poorly built to begin with, could now withstand hurricane force winds, a termite attack, and pass code to boot!
Description of Work: George and his assistant Josh painted the entire exterior of the house, made repairs as needed to rotting window casements, and tore off and rebuilt a second floor deck.

Service was top notch..job well done..one issue- is that some extra's were painted by the crew to compliment the house and trim not at the request of the homeowner.. when the home owner asked if three other small items could be painted then there was an additional charge...feel that the extras that were done without request was a decision that was made by the painting crew and when the crew was asked to paint an additional small mail door, pipe, and wiring to electric meter box there should not have been such a sizable increase to the bill. Only other concern is that there was not an attempt to contact homeowner at the end of the job to avoid sticking of windows with new paint. Otherwise happy with work that was performed..Would use again. Would make sure any end of job issues were fully addressed prior to acceptance of bill.
Description of Work: Scraped and painted all exterior windows..front on house..garage door etc..

George was excellent! He did a fantastic job, took his time and did things right. His prices were more than reasonable, and he kept us constantly updated. We had a lot of wet, humid weather while he was working, otherwise I imagine he would have been done a lot more quickly: he wanted to make sure the job would last. Our house looks beautiful and stands out in the neighborhood. Scraping, Priming, and Painting were all done with the utmost care and professionalism. I would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Scraped, Primed, and Painted 2100 sqft house and 2 car garage. House is composed of wooden shingles that haven't been painted in decades.

They both did an outstanding job, including caulking everyehere that needed it, even replacing a piece of siding that fell down a week ago, all within what I thought was a very fair price (that included a 10% senior discount). He came out promptly to do the estimate and got to work the moment the weather allowed. Both guys used interior standards on exterior work. They didn't even step on a flower. The trim hadn't been painted in many years and it required a lot of prep work. All in all, an outstanding job and I would never hesitate to call him again or recommend him to a friend.
Description of Work: George Richardson and his employee James painted all the trim on my parent's 2-story home.

George and his helper Daryl completed the job within a week and a half and was only delayed by a couple days of rain. The workers were extremely neat and paid attention to detail. I was very pleased with their work and also had them do some minor interior repair and painting. I will definitely be using George again in the future for additional interior work.
Description of Work: Painted aluminum-sided house and detached garage. Work included power washing, priming (where needed), trim, shutters and railings. Price included all material and labor.

I called George Richardson to get an estimate on restaining my deck. He came by pretty promptly and left a card because I wasn't there. He left his card in the door without any price written down. I called him, left a message, he called me back. He estimated about $300 which I thought was fair. I haven't been able to get a hold of him since. I have left a bunch of messages, but he hasn't gotten back to me. Needless to say, I will never be calling him again for anything. Amazing that with the economy the way it is, I've got to beg someone to make money off me!!!

Description of Work: George Richardson did an excellent job painting the exterior of my house this past month, with much attention to detail and a genuine commitment to high quality workmanship. He also replaced some rotted wood, in one instance requiring some tricky carpentry skills. I selected him after receiving several estimates ranging from much lower to quite a bit higher after i got a very favorable recommendation from a neighbor whose house he painted before mine. I feel, as she did, that he provided excellent value and did a lot of extra things I hadn't expected him to do. I would definitely recommend him. Very pleasant and considerate person, too. Takes pride in his work!

This is my first experience using Angies List. I had several estimates for the project but this contractor came when he said he was going to, and took his time explaining exactly how he would address the various issues. He corrected me when I said I wanted it painted. He was honest and told me that pressure treated lumber would peel if painted and that stain would be the best choice. (All but one other contractor thought painting was just fine.) The written bid was very competative and very detailed. Since I wanted two colors used, he integrated them in a manner that created a design that is just beautiful. When the men came to do the job they worked nonstop and without any fanfare. I have never had such thorough cleanup by any contractor, ever. The deck is gorgeous and Geroge's eye for detail is priceless. I am thrilled. I will definately have this gentleman back to work on my many indoor remodeling projects.
Description of Work: Portions of the deck were repaired and it was then power washed, caulked, primed, and stained multiple coats. In addition, a beautifully framed skirt was constructed to hide the base of the deck.

They finished the work yesterday. I would recommend my friends and family members to hire them. As a matter of fact they are going to start work in my neighbor's house because of the good work they did on mine. The owner himself Mr. George Richardson was here every day. He had one or two helpers. He did all the work himself. He knew what he was doing. They did lot of extra things I didn't ask them to do. He is a great guy. It was the expensive estimate I've got but it was worth it. They only missed the days when we had a lot of rain. They cleaned up before they left every day.
Description of Work: I used Custom Painting By Richardson to do some repair work and also paint outside of my house.

The owner is George Richardson. I have used him as a handyman not as a painter. He was recommended to me. He did the work for me at a good price. His price was good and I highly recommend him. Most of the work in these old Buffalo house is not easy. He is a good worker. I will use him again.
Description of Work: I had Custom Painting By Richardson last month to repair the door frame, painted the door and the frame. He mainly did our front porch and the gutters. I spent around $2000.

It went excellent - George worked around the weather best he could - big job that he plugged away at every day, even when the rain was falling he found other things to do (work on scraping, wood repair, etc.)
Description of Work: Complete exterior paint - scraping, priming, lots of wood repair, huge house. George needed a 60 foot ladder to reach my peaks! Excellent work ethic, easy to talk to and get along with, never missed an appointment, cleaned up every day. Great attention to detail, helped with finalizing colors, patient, tested various color schemes - can't say enough for his skill, experience and honesty.
