Davy Painting

THE COMPANY DID A VERY NICE JOB. ROGER, THE OWNER, KEPT US UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. THE PAINTERS WERE WELL-MANNERED, EFFICIENT, AND THOROUGH.

THEY WERE ONE OF THE FEW PAINTERS I FOUND WHICH EMPLOY CARPENTERS, SO THEY COULD REPLACE, PRIME AND PAINT ANY ROTTED WOOD THEY FOUND. WE HAD PLENTY OF BAD WOOD, AND THEY CHARGED A REASONABLE HOURLY RATE FOR THAT SERVICE. EXCELLENT SERVICE, GREAT CLEANUP, AND THE HOUSE IS SOLID AND LOOKS GREAT AGAIN!

COMPLETED FIRST PAINT JOB IN TWO DAYS. A CREW HAD TO RETURN FOR ANOTHER DAY TO REDO MOST OF THE FIRST PAINT JOB. FIRST PAINT JOB WAS HAPHAZARD AT BEST. MOST OF THE TRIM, ALL OF THE GARAGE DOOR AND THE FRONT, BACK, AND SIDE GARAGE DOOR HAD TO BE REDONE. FIRST CREW SPENT MORE TIME 'SMOOZING' THAN PAINTING AND WHEN QUESTIONS CAME UP, WE WERE GIVEN THE IMPRESSION THAT OUR OPINION DIDN'T COUNT. SECOND CREW SPENT FROM 9AM TO 5PM REDOING MOST OF THE PAINTING, INCLUDING TRIM, SANDING AND REPAINTING FRONT AND BACK DOOR AND RE-PRIMING AND SANDING GARAGE DOOR. DAVY PAINTING PROVIDES PROMISES AND CHATTY WORKERS, NOT GOOD WORK. THEY LACK PROFESSIONALISM AND GOOD WORK HABITS. THEY HAVEN'T EARNED A RECOMMENDATION FROM US.

I ASKED WHETHER THE JOB WAS TOO SMALL FOR THIS COMPANY WHEN I TALKED WITH A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE TELEPHONE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE WAS NO FOLLOW-THROUGH.

BE SURE TO CLARIFY THE DEFINITION OF RESTORATION, I. E. REMOVAL OF CAULK. THEY CALL SOME ITEMS RESTORATION, WHICH THEY WILL NOT PERFORM WHAT WE EXPECTED THEM TO PERFORM. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS SANDING PAINT EDGES THAT WERE UNEVEN AFTER SCRAPING, OR RUST THAT WAS ON A METAL DOOR. DAVY CHARGES EXTRA FOR PAINTING THE FLASHING METAL VALLEYS ON A ROOF. DESPITE THESE ITEMS, DAVY DOES AS MUCH AS THEY CAN DO TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER HAPPY AND ALLOWS THE CUSTOMER TO PROVIDE A CHECKLIST OF ANY UNFINISHED ITEMS AT THE END OF THE PROJECT. WE RECOMMEND YOU CONSIDER THEM FOR EXTERIOR PAINT JOBS.

THE COMPANY WAS WILLING TO FIND MATCHING WOOD SIDING FOR DAMAGED PORTIONS MORE THAN 20 YEARS OLD. ONE OF THE FEW PAINTING COMPANIES AROUND WILLING TO DO WOOD REPAIRS.

EXCELLENT WORK, ROGER BREW AND JIM NORRIS WHO MANAGED THE WORK, WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH. SUPER CREW TOO! VERY COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL, VERY EASY TO WORK WITH, NO PROBLEMS IN ANY AREA. TREAT THIS COMPANY LIKE YOU WOULD YOUR OWN FAMILY, AND THEY RESPOND IN KIND. WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND DAVY PAINTING COMPANY TO ANYONE.

ROGER STANDS BY HIS WORD. THE JOB WAS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL I WAS SATISFIED. WHEN I HAD A QUESTION OR CONCERN, IT WAS ADDRESSED AND THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SATISFY ME. THE HOUSE LOOKS GREAT.

THE DAVY CREW WAS PROFESSIONAL AND WELL MANNERED. THEY DID A NEAT AND THOROUGH JOB, INCLUDING SPACKLING AND REHAMMERING NAIL POPS, NOT TO MENTION DODGING BATS IN THE VENTS. THEY, AS FAR AS I COULD TELL, DID NOT SMOKE ON THE JOB OR LEAVE CIGARETTE BUTTS BEHIND, A PARTICULAR ANNOYANCE OF MINE WITH SERVICE PERSONNEL.

THIS IS A TOUGH EVALUATION; IN SOME RESPECTS THEY DID A GREAT JOB, IN OTHERS THEY WEREN'T SO GOOD. ROGER SEEMS TO BE A VERY HONEST BUSINESSMAN, AND IS VERY HELPFUL WHEN HE INITIATES A CONVERSATION. A COUPLE OF TIMES PRIOR TO THE START OF THE JOB, HE SEEMED VERY CONFUSED WHEN I CALLED HIM. HE ALSO CONTRADICTED HIMSELF SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. THE CREW LEADER (SEAN) WAS EXTREMELY NICE AND HARDWORKING, AND SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING. THE FIRST 3 DAYS THAT THEY WORKED ON OUR HOUSE, THEY SEEMED TO BE DOING A GREAT JOB (THOUGH WE DID HAVE TO POINT OUT SOME OBVIOUS OVERSIGHTS). ON THE 4TH DAY, ROGER SHOWED UP AND SEEMED VERY RUSHED TO FINISH OUR HOUSE; AND THEY SEEMED TO START CUTTING CORNERS TO GET DONE. FROM THE BEGINNING, ROGER STATES THAT HE WON'T ACCEPT PAYMENT UNTIL THE HOMEOWNER IS SATISFIED; YET HE WANTED TO PULL HIS CREW BEFORE I EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THE COMPLETED JOB. EVERYTHING WAS GOING GREAT UNTIL THAT POINT;I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED HIM TO CHANGE.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES I'VE EVER HAD WITH ANY HOME REPAIR/HOME IMPROVEMENT BUSINESS. ROGER AND HIS CREW DID EXCELLENT WORK AND WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND TRUSTWORTHY. OUR NEIGHBORS WERE HIGHLY COMPLIMENTARY OF THEIR WORK BEFORE THE JOB WAS EVEN FINISHED AND LIKELY WILL INQUIRE WITH DAVY PAINTING FOR WORK ON THEIR HOMES TOO. WE'VE HAD A BAD PAINT JOB BEFORE AND THE COST OF THIS PAINT JOB WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. OUR HOUSE LOOKS GREAT, EVERYTHING WAS CLEANED UP AND THEIR WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR US TO WORRY ABOUT.

WORKING WITH ROGER ON THIS JOB, AND ON MY PREVIOUS HOME, HAS BEEN A DREAM COME TRUE! HIS CREW WAS HARDWORKING AND EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL, EVEN PAINTING AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT HOUSE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A PAINTER!

ROGER BREWER IS GREAT! VERY GOOD WITH COMMUNICATION, VERY EASY TO CONTACT, VERY PROFESSIONAL. ALWAYS RETURNS PHONE CALLS. THE WORK CREW (HEADED BY BILL) WAS VERY COURTEOUS, PROFESSIONAL AND CLEAN. I LIKE THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT SUBCONTRACT WORK. WILL DEFINITELY USE AGAIN.

BOTH ROGER BREWER (1ST CONTACT), AND JIM NORRIS (FOREMAN)WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THOROUGH IN THEIR APPROACH TO THE JOB. JIM CAME BACK THE DAY AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETE AND SPENT MOST OF THE DAY TAKING CARE OF MINOR TOUCHUPS, ETC. TO ENSURE THAT THE JOB WAS DONE COMPLETELY TO OUR SATISFACTION. THE WORK CREW WAS VERY POLITE, AND REALLY SEEMED TO TAKE PRIDE IN DOING THE JOB TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES. THEY WERE ALSO VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE ANY PLANTS. JIM WAS ALSO VERY RESPONSIVE TO ANY QUESTIONS WE HAD. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO CONTRACT THEIR SERVICES IN THE FUTURE. THE WORK WAS DONE IN ABOUT FIVE DAYS AT THE END OF JUNE 2003.

HE WANTED TO SPRAY A LARGE PART OF THE EXTERIOR RATHER THAN HAND PAINT, AND I WAS NOT TOTALLY COMFORTABLE WITH THIS. IF THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR YOU, BE AWARE OF IT. HOWEVER, THEY SEEMED A VERY PROFESSIONAL COMPANY.

I INTERVIEWED FIVE COMPANIES. HIS ESTIMATE WAS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN SOME OTHER ESTIMATES. HE WAS WILLING TO COME DOWN ON THE ESTIMATE AND LET ME USE THE ANGIE'S LIST COUPON. ROGER WAS REALLY GOOD WITH CHECKING WITH US TO LET US KNOW ABOUT THE SCHEDULE. I HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THE CREW WAS DOING AND THE OWNER CAME OUT. THE OWNER FOUND SOME WORKERS NOT DOING A GOOD ENOUGH JOB AND HE REMOVED SOME WORKERS HIMSELF AND REPLACED THEM WITH HIS SON IN-LAW. THIS WAS ALL BASED ON THE OWNERS DECISION. HE WAS VERY EASY TO STAY IN CONTACT WITH. THE TIME FRAME WAS SUPPOSE TO TAKE FOUR TO FIVE DAYS BUT THE JOB LASTED NINE DAYS. THE OWNER SAID HE DID NOT WANT TO SACRIFICE ANYTHING AND I WAS NOT CHARGED ANYMORE. THE WORKERS WERE VERY NEAT. MY NEIGHBORS EVEN TOLD ME HOW NICE IT WAS WATCHING THEM WORK BECAUSE THEY WERE SO PROFESSIONAL. EVEN DURING THE ESTIMATE THE OWNER WANTED ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TO LOOK FOR EVEN IF I DID NOT USE HIM. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

THE TEAM WAS EXCELLENT. THEY KEPT US INFORMED OF WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH ALL THE WEATHER DELAYS. THERE WERE NO SURPRISES. THE QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP WAS FANTASTIC. THEY MASKED ALL WINDOWS, TOOK OFF LIGHT FIXTURES BEFORE PAINTING. THEY CLEANED UP AFTER THEY LEFT. THE HOUSE LOOKS BETTER THAN WHEN WE MOVED IN. WE WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.

DAVY PAINTING GAVE ME A QUOTE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOUR BIDS I RECEIVED. ROGER BREWER WAS HELPFUL IN EXPLAINING THE SERVICES THAT WOULD BE PERFORMED (POWER WASHING, CAULKING, STAINING, ETC). THE WORK WAS DELAYED A FEW WEEKS DUE TO RAIN BUT WHEN THE SUN CAME OUT THE PAINTERS WERE HERE AND WORKED CONSECUTIVE DAYS UNTIL THE JOB WAS COMPLETE.

JIM, THE CREW LEADER, WAS EXTREMELY CONSCIENTIOUS AND EAGER TO PLEASE. HE ALSO HAD A GOOD AESTHETIC SENSE AND GAVE GOOD ADVICE REGARDING PAINTING QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP. WE WERE VERY, VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR WORK.

THERE WERE A FEW AREAS THAT NEEDED EXTRA ATTENTION, AND THEY QUICKLY MADE SURE WE WERE SATISFIED.

IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO GETTING AN ESTIMATE

VERY CLEAN AND ALSO A VERY TRUSTWORTHY GROUP TO WORK WITH. QUITE RESPONSIVE AND MOVED THINGS AROUND TO PAINT BETTER. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AND GET THE JOB DONE.

THEIR COMMUNICATION WITH US WAS EXCELLENT. HIS CREW SHOWED UP ON-TIME OR EARLY EVERY DAY, WORKED DILIGENTLY, AND HAPPILY ADDRESSED ALL OF MY CONCERNS - EVEN AS I INTERRUPTED THEIR WORK.

FOR PAINTING OF SHUTTERS, THE QUALITY OF WORK WAS POOR. THIS WAS A 'LINE ITEM' IN OUR AGREEMENT WITH DAVY PAINTING, BUT ROGER, WHEN CONTACTED BY TELEPHONE, WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR CORRECT PROBLEMS.

MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I CAN'T RATE THIS COMPANY HIGHER THAN 'A'. I'VE NEVER COME ACROSS A HARDER-WORKING, MORE PROFESSIONAL, PLEASANT GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS. THE JOB IS AWESOME; NEIGHBORS HAVE COMMENTED AND ASKED FOR THE COMPANY'S NAME AND PHONE NUMBER. I AM HAVING THEM BACK THIS WINTER TO DO THE INTERIOR OF OUR HOME, AND NEXT SPRING TO PAINT AN EDITION WE ARE HAVING CONSTRUCTED THIS FALL. MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION (AND I'M PICKY)!
