HARRISON PAINTING

He came out morning after I called. Removed ice.

Called the company Saturday 1-31-09 at 9:15 am. He would be out that afternoon and would call 1 hr ahead of time. By 4 pm had not heard from him. Called back, he would be here between 5-6 pm. No show! Sunday 2/1/09 8:25 am he called and was very apologetic. Showed up at 9:25 am and cleaned the roof.

I called him on a Saturday morning. I was surprised when someone answered, since it was a weekend. He told me he could be out in 20 minutes! I was so pleased to have fast response. He did a good job removing ice from the problem areas. Very nice.

Mr. Harrison came out within hours of my phone call. 3 other companies never returned my messages. He determined where the ice dam was and removed as much ice as he could. His estimate for time and money were exactly right. He was professional and friendly. He worked in below freezing conditions and into the dark with out a complaint.

VERY unprofessional, VERY angry, VERY uncooperative. The WORST contractor I have ever had the displeasure of associating with.

THE OWNER WAS VERY POLITE; HOWEVER, HE WAS NOT AROUND WHILE THE PAINTING WAS DONE. MOST OF THE PAINTERS DID NOT SPEAK ENGLISH, DID A VERY POOR JOB PREPARING THE SURFACES, & MADE NUMEROUS MISTAKES INCLUDING STAINING WOOD THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PAINTED, & NEGLECTING TO PAINT SEVERAL WINDOWS & THE SIDE OF ONE DORMER. WE HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE RENOVATIONS DONE TO DIFFERENT HOMES & THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE EVER BEEN UPSET WITH THE WORK PERFORMED BY A CONTRACTOR.

THEY HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD. I GOT THEM FROM ANGIE'S LIST. NOW, I DON'T CALL ANYONE ELSE. I HAVE THEM DO ALL OF MY GUTTER WORK. THE PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE GUTTER REPAIR.

VERY PROMPT, VERY COURTEOUS, GOOD COMMUNICATION, VERY PROFICIENT, AND EFFICIENT WORKER.

OVERALL GOOD EXPERIENCE. PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER WASHING AND SPILLED PAINT, BUT THEY'VE CORRECTED ANYTHING THEY COULD. DID GOOD DETAILED WORK DURING THE STAINING. DID BRUSH WORK AND BLEACHING TO INSURE QUALITY RESULTS. SOME WINDOW DAMAGE DURING POWER WASHING DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CAULKING.

THE PRICE CHARGED WAS ABOUT AVERAGE FOR WHAT OTHER CONTRACTORS CHARGE.

HARRISON WAS EXTREMELY EFFICIENT. IT WAS A LARGE JOB THAT HAD TEN PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER. WE HAD A LONG WAIT BUT ONCE IT GOT STARTED IT WENT ALONG QUICKLY. THEY ARE VERY COURTEOUS. THE PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE.

TALKED QUICKLY, NO DETAILS OF COST, NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

MADE AN APPT. FOR 8 P.M. MAY 20. NO CALL, NO SHOW, NO FOLLOW-UP.

WHAT HE QUOTED (VERBALLY) HE DID NOT CHARGE. HE CHARGED MORE. THE WORK WAS OF POOR QUALITY AND DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS INTENDED TO RESOLVE. I HAD THE DOWNSPOUTS REPLACED BY ANOTHER GUTTER COMPANY.

HIRED SPRING OF 02 FOR PAINTING AND GUTTERS. FINISHED THE GUTTER WORK, BUT NOT PROPERLY. BILLED ME SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AT DOUBLE THE QUOTED COST. ON MY LAWYER'S ADVICE, I NOTIFIED HIM THAT I WAS PAYING THE QUOTED COST ONLY. HE DID NOT COMPLETE THE PAINTING WORK, AND WHAT WAS DONE WAS OF QUESTIONABLE QUALITY. HE RECEIVED ALL BUT $1000 OF THE COST OF THE PAINTING, AND FAILED TO RETURN. IN THE FALL, HE SAID HE WOULD FINISH, BUT COULDN'T DO SO UNTIL THIS SPRING. BECAUSE OF THE POOR QUALITY OF HIS WORK, AND THE LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM, AND HIS FAILURE TO RESPOND IN A TIMELY OR REASONABLE MANNER, I NOTIFIED HIM THAT THE CONTRACT HAD BEEN VOIDED, AND I WISHED NO FURTHER CONTACT WITH HIM. HE CONTINUES TO CONTACT ME, AND THOUGH I'VE ADVISED HIM NOT TO ENTER MY PROPERTY UNDER THREAT OF TRESPASSING CHARGES, I'M STILL GETTING CALLS SAYING HE'S COMING OVER.

MR HARRISON WAS HERE, ALONG WITH ANOTHER WORKER. MY ONLY CONCERN IS THEY DO NOT TAKE MY CONCERN FOR LEAD PAINT SAFETY AS SERIOUSLY AS I WOULD HOPE. THIS GOES FOR JUST ABOUT ANY PROFESSIONAL PAINTER I HAVE EVER USED. THEY JUST DO NOT TAKE THE PRECAUTIONS THAT I WOULD LIKE. HE DID A VERY NICE JOB. I FEEL I AM AT FAULT FOR NOT ENFORCING MY WISHES MORE THOROUGHLY. THEY DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!

I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THEIR WILLINGNESS TO DO THE LEVEL OF PREP WORK I WAS LOOKING FOR. I WAS ALSO IMPRESSED WITH HOW QUICKLY THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE JOB DONE CONSIDERING HOW MUCH PREP WORK THEY HAD TO DO.

CALLED FOR ESTIMATE NEVER RETURNED CALLS- CALLED TWICE.

I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT HELL EVER GET TO THE JOB. I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING PUT ON THE BACK BURNER ALL THE TIME. HE SEEMED LIKE A NICE MAN BUT I NEVER GOT ANY WORK OUT OF HIM.

ABLE TO DO THE WORK WITH VERY LITTLE NOTICE.

ESTIMATE WAS BELOW THOSE OF OTHER COMPANIES BY ABOUT $100, WE HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THE BILL BUT IT SHOULD BE ABOUT $400. WE HAD TO CALL SEVERAL TIMES TO GET ANSLEM OUT FOR ESTIMATE AND FOR THE WORK, BUT WE PERSISTED B/C WE HAD TO MEET CITY INSPECTION STANDARD. ANSLEM WAS VERY HELPFUL IN GIVING AN ACCURATE OVER THE PHONE ESTIMATE WHEN HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. HE WAS VERY APOLOGETIC WHEN HE DIDN'T GET OUT AS PROMISED, BUT DID A VERY GOOD JOB. WE WOULD USE HIM AGAIN.

EXCELLENT JOB WAS COMPLETED LAST YEAR DOESNT ANY WORK DONE THIS YEAR WOULD RECOMMEND

THE PAINTERS HAD QUOTED ONE PRIMER COAT AND ONE FINISH COAT. AFTER SEEING THE WORK, I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TWO FINISH COATS. I HAD TO SPOT PAINT THE KITCHEN BECAUSE THE PRIMER SHOWED THROUGH IN 12 SMALL AREAS AND I DIDNT WANT TO WAIT SEVERAL DAYS TO HAVE THE PAINTER COME BACK OUT. I HAD TO TOUCH UP THE BATHROOM ALSO. ALSO I SPECIFICALLY SHOWED AND DISCUSSED WITH MR. HARRISON A NEW LIGHT FIXTURE THAT WAS TO BE REMOVED FOR PAINTING AND HE FAILED TO DISCLOSE THIS TO HIS CREW AND THEY PAINTED AROUND IT AND GOT PAINT ON THE FIXTURE. HE DIDNT FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A BIG DEAL.

VERY RESPONSIVE TO OUR REQUESTS AND CONCERNS. LOOKING TO DEVELOP LONG TERM CLIENTS.

INCREDIBLY HARD WORKING CREW. CREW WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND CLEANED UP WELL EACH EVENING. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR WORK AND WOULD USE THEM AGAIN.
