Excellent workmanship, work ethic, and service! I Met with Gary for the initial proposal and was impressed with this thoroughness. Although comparatively high to the batch of proposals I received, I chose him for several reasons: his proposal was more complete than others, indicating details that would be attended to on the job; he would be on site, working with his crew every day; he was very attentive to the details I pointed out ; and he was very professional and courteous. I hired them to attend to several outside jobs including: power washing; painting porch columns, shutters, & exterior doors; and painting the garage interior. They were even able to attend to a couple additional requests on the fly, including an extra large yard trellis and the insides of my entrance doors, things that were not included on the original quote but they were able to work into their schedule for me. They showed up daily at the same time and got right to work. Attention to detail, both in painting and clean up was fantastic. They did a beautiful job - extremely professional, high quality work. The finishes are top notch - clean cut-in lines, minimal brush marks, no mistakes (drips, runs, etc.). They put everything back in its place, made sure the areas were clean when done, and wanted to make sure that I was happy with the job before they left. Gary himself pays attention to the detail work and I was left with only two extremely minor touch ups that were attended to promptly. As a bonus, Gary and his crew are very polite and amiable - a real pleasure to work with. As indicated previously, the bid was high. However, I still gave them an "A" in pricing because I feel their work was exceptional. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for and I feel that they were worth every penny. I am so happy with them that I will be hiring them in the future for all my painting needs. Job well done : )

Simply awesome! Our walls needed A LOT of prep work and repair after 3 months of construction and 10 years of neglect by the previous owner and Gary and his crew were able to truly make them look like new again. The meticulously prepped and sanded all of the trim and the walls, patched a spot in the ceiling to make it look like the rest of the ceiling, and patched more areas than I could count to repair dings, dents and other issues left by the previous owner. The results are much better than we even hoped for. The walls and trim look great and the rooms truly look brand new. Gary covered the hardwood floors, showed up on time every day (and worked around our schedule when needed) and cleaned up every day to the point that there was never any real dust (even in the midst of all the sanding). We couldn't be happier with their work or the outcome.
Description of Work: Repair damage, prep and paint front hall, front stairway, kitchen and sitting room, basement stairway, basement laundry/work room and all ceilings and trim in those areas.

HE DIDN'T COMPLETE THE JOB. HE WENT OFF ON ME DURING ONE PHONE CONVERSATION & WE ENDED UP PAYING HIM JUST TO GET RID OF HIM. IT WAS DIFFICULT GETTING ITEMIZED BILLING OUT OF HIM, & WHEN HE DID SEND IT TO ME, IT DIDN'T MATCH THE TIME & EMPLOYEE COUNT THAT I HAD DOCUMENTED. THEY JUST DID AN AWFUL JOB. THERE WERE MANY AREAS THAT WEREN'T PAINTED & MUCH OF THE WORK WAS VERY POOR QUALITY. IT WAS A BAD EXPERIENCE.
Description of Work: Painted exterior of home, including several different areas & touching up.

Response from Gary L Novak Painting Inc
Wow that was quite the report. The member is a property manager for one for my customers. He was unable to get potions of the home ready for us to professionally proceed with our agreed work schedule. As a last resort, I contacted my homeowner directly to voice my concerns about the way this project was progressing. My homeowner took this up with the member. Needless to say the member was not very happy with me going over his head on this issue. I am committed to my customer. Period ! If the property manager in this case, is unable to have his work done ahead of my schedule it affects my customer relations negatively. We are committed to quality service and unequalled performance in our field. I am committed to doing everything within reason to be sure that my customer gets top value for his painting dollar. Believe me, they do ! Thank you. Gary L. Novak

GARY WAS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ME BY A FRIEND AND I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE GOTTEN SUCH AN EXCELLENT REFERENCE. HE IS THOROUGH, METICULOUS ABOUT CLEANING UP AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TAKES THE TIME TO DO THE JOB RIGHT!
Description of Work: GARY AND HIS CREW DO EXCEPTIONAL WORK! THEY DID AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT JOB AT MY HOUSE. I HAD TWO BEDROOMS AND A HALLWAY PAINTED, PEELING SECTIONS ON SEVERAL WALLS IN THE BASEMENT CLEANED UP AND THE OUTDOOR CEILINGS OVER MY SIDE DOOR AND BACK PORCH REPAINTED. GARY REDID ALL THE WORK THAT WAS DONE TO THE SAME ROOMS BY ANOTHER PAINTER THAT I HIRED LAST YEAR WHO DID SUCH A SLOPPY AND CARELESS JOB THAT IT IS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY BETWEEN THE TWO.
