Description of Work: Left a voicemail message on Sept 23, 2015, requesting an estimate to have my new cedar fence stained. Did not receive a call back and on Sept 25, I left another message asking them to call or if they were not interested/too busy to call me back, so I could contact someone else. As of today, Sept 28th, still no return call.

Thanks for trying to reach us and especially for sharing your frustration. You have really helped us to find a crack in our system!!!! We checked our phone system and it seems to be working correctly. We also checked our notes from messages left and we did not find any record. Then we discovered that one of our phone set-ups (the one used the most for setting appointments) was not showing old messages. So you are absolutely correct!!!! How frustrating, especially after you tried twice and especially after we work so hard to make the phone ring in the first place. We'd like the chance to pick up the fumble. In fact here is my cell number 330-607-6829 and my home number 440-449-0489. Thanks again for the feedback and we promise to use it to improve. Ted Wetzel / President.

Thanks for your feedback, and I'm sorry we could not meet your expectations. Our records show that your request was for carpentry repairs. We stopped at your home and also discussed the issue with our staff carpenter. Our records also show that we proposed to do the work at a time and material basis. Our records do not show if we had further discussion with you beyond that point. It is unfortunate that a firm price is not always possible, as comforting as it would be for us all. Carpentry repairs are one of those unfortunate things that we just don't know what we will find until we start the work. Again, we are sorry to disappoint you. Sincerely, Ted Wetzel

Workers were aware of their surroundings, orderly in starting and doing cleaning up after work is finished for the day or completed. Willing to answer questions and listen to your ideas.
Description of Work: Company has work on exterior and interior painting for my home. They use quality paint, do clean up, cover cracks, nail heads and let you know of areas you may not be aware of.

I called for an estimate and the owner was out in a few days. Because I was on a time crunch with my husband in Arizona and my friends coming over for a dinner party on Friday, I asked if what I needed could be accomplished in two days. The crew was there bright and early each morning and an excellent job was done each day with a progress report given for the day. I was very impressed with the results and I was able to clean and put everything back (shades, curtains, pictures, etc.) in time for my dinner party. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone for interior or exterior painting. They are fast and efficient and very professional.
Description of Work: The crew leader and his crew arrived earlier than stated and went over the job with me. They left an updated report of what they had done that evening and the progress they made. I was amazed at how much they accomplished the first day. They applied two coats (one contrasting color on one wall each room) on the ceilings and the walls in two rooms and replaced all fixtures, furniture, etc. They left me another updated report of what they accomplished/finished the second day. They labeled the leftover paint and left everything in a neat and orderly fashion.

Ted gave us a very detailed estimate after meticulously examining the work area. Because we had a flexible time frame, we agreed to have this painting completed at the end of 'exterior season' or whenever a sequence of rainy days might occur. Carla kept us updated as to when to expect the work to begin. She was very helpful throughout the entire process. Work was begun on time both days. Ted monitored every aspect of the work and the painters were extremely detail-oriented, as well as polite. The service by this company is exceptional and the quality of the work is outstanding.
Description of Work: Very thorough prep work was done before applying two coats of paint to walls of living room, dining room, foyer, stairway, and upper hallway. One coat of paint was also applied to the ceiling in this same area. Beforehand, a ceiling crack was repaired, nail holes and dents were filled and sanded, and an area was patched where a previous thermostat existed. During this process, great care was taken to protect all surfaces as well as the dining table and bookcases that had to be left in the room. The painting was completed in 2 consecutive days by two very pleasant and considerate painters. Everything was put back into place and cleaned upon completion. Touch up paint was left for us.

Both jobs went well! They were careful not to damage any of the bushes or plants at each property. The clean up was great, plus they left some paint for later touch-ups. All of the painters were great to work with, showed up on time or called if the weather was going to be too bad for painting. They always walk around the home after the job to see if you are satisfied with the job!
Description of Work: They power washed our home and then painted it. They painted the shutters and all the doors plus our barn. The next year I had then paint our rental property. The same here, they power washed the home and then painted it and the shutters and doors.

The painter arrived on time and was very pleasant. We left to go to work shortly after she arrived. When we returned home that evening the job was finished. We were thrilled with the quality of the work, especially the paint job on the old paneling.

THIS IS A GREAT COMPANY. THEY DID EVERYTHING THAT THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD DO, THEY WORK NEATLY, THEIR WORK WAS EXCELLENT AND WE WOULD HIRE THEM AGAIN. THE FINAL COST COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE WAS RIGHT ON. I GOT MORE THAN MY MONEYS WORTH. WE SCHEDULED MORE THAN 2 WEEKS AHEAD OF TIME AND WE FOUND THE COMPANY THROUGH ANGIE'S LIST THROUGH THE WEBSITE. WE CHOOSE "THE FINAL COAT" BECAUSE OF THEIR REPUTATION ON ANGIE'S LIST. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE USED THE COMPANY AND WHAT WE LIKED MOST WAS THE GOOD WORK ETHIC, THE FRIENDLINESS AND JUST THE WAY THAT THEY WENT ABOUT DOING THINGS. I WOULD TELL OTHERS TO PUT THEMSELVES IN THEIR HANDS AND THEY WILL COME THROUGH FOR YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
