Kathy & Kim are beyond amazing and I could not be happier with the results. We had our Living Room (2-story foyer) & Dining Room painted, as well as the trim within these rooms. They did quite a bit of touch-up work the previous homeowners didn't touch-up (i.e. paint on trim, caulking the trim, etc.). Their attention to detail truly showed and the results were beyond what I imagined. I will certainly recommend them & look forward to using them in the future too!

These ladies are fantastic. They were able to remove wallpaper covering master bedroom and bathroom and paint walls in a few days time. The work was absolutely spotless ; they cleaned up every day and let us know the estimated time in which the work would be finished. They took care of picking up the paint for us as well as prepping rooms. They are timely and the ultimate professionals. They also were the most reasonably priced as we had four estimates done for the work and they were the best. We plan on using these ladies for future projects.

They're two women that do it. I would use them again. I was just talking to them about painting my upstairs one of these days. They're just incredibly neat. They're so precise. You don't find places they've missed or anything like that. They're meticulous.

Excellent!! We were looking for a quality painter. Looked over the Angie's List reviews and saw that Ducks in a Row had all "A" ratings and the reviews were very positive. Kim and Kathy are perfectionists. Our home is 36 years old. We had just finished a kitchen, bathroom, and mudroom renovation and the next project was painting. The ladies made certain all the imperfections on the walls, ceilings, moldings were repaired first before painting. They were a delight to work with. Will definitely hire them again in the future.

Amazing job! Selfishly I don't want to tell everyone how fabulous these ladies are because I want to keep them for myself. Ducks In A Row are fantastic. I am so in love with my new paint and backsplash. The ladies are just meticulous, wonderful to work with, communicative and just an all around joy to work with.

I"ve run out of superlatives for Kathy & Kim!!! They continue to AMAZE! They do it all. A follow up to my review of May 26: They returned to paint two additional areas---came on a Sunday----& called on Sat. night to confirm. In addition to their excellent painting, they helped disconnect a broken storm door at our front entrance, painted an address number on our curb, cleaned & painted a cabinet in the basement. It would be hard to believe that anyone could ever dissatisfied with anything these two ladies do. Wunderbar!
Description of Work: Painted two more rooms of the house, advised on recycling.

Tremendous! Bravo! If an Angie's List rating of AAA+++ existed, Ducks in a Row would unconditionally qualify..... Anything resembling "Ducks" is strictly coincidental with Cathy & Kim. These worker bees are more like "Peas in a Pod." or "King Kong" revisited. There's absolutely nothing these ladies can't do. That, my friends, is a stone cold fact. Cathy & Kim work herculean long hours, weekends, holidays, nights, & whatever it takes to get the job done. Their focused work ethic means they just don't go the extra "mile", the go the extra "Light Year." Organization-wise, they work with a checklist of what needs to be done, & readily review the list with us... In a nutshell, no matter what kind of job needs to be accomplished, Cathy & Kim do it, & do it correctly. Furthermore, the above statements are exponentially understated. Cathy & Kim are THAT good!
Description of Work: Painted all rooms of the house, removed wallpaper from most rooms, installed & purchased tile as custom splashboard behind stove, installed towel rings in bathroom, installed new trim along baseboard in bathrooms, painted vanity in bathroom & repaired doors, painted & installed registers throughout the house, removed curtains in preparation for blinds installation,, covered windows in basement and garage with special product, trimmed trees & bushes in frontyard & arranged for pickup & removal, repaired light fixtures, advised on paint color throughout the house

Ducks in a row would let me know when the would arrive, and they were alwasy on time. The would pick up and vacuum after they were done for the day. I felt very comfortable leaving them alone in my house. They would consistently go the extra mile for me. I ended up giving them more work than I had originally intended!
Description of Work: They removed wallpaper and painted all interior walls. I am very pleased and could not have done this work better than they did. They also completed ancillary work that arose during the job. They absolutely transformed my house and I am delighted! | |Thank you ducks! I did give this team a B for pricing because their price was average for all of the others that I shopped. I can honestly say that their work product was worth more than their price.

I have hired them more than once. They are amazing in terms of communication. They are patient. When I made changes in my color choices, they were very professional and willing to please me. They are very reliable. They love what they do! They have great taste and offer wonderful suggestions in my opinion. One of the workers had a foot injury and she put all her effort into working regardless of that.

(Member name removed), we so appreciate working for you and your family! Seven years ago we met you and helped you bring your favorite colors into your home. Then this past August, you asked us back again to fulfill your vision for changes to other areas of the house. The warmth and welcome you extended us was the foundation of an enjoyable relationship that has spanned the years. Creating changes with you and for you is a joy indeed. Thank you for your kind words.

.Kim and Kathy are two of the most professional and wonderful people I have ever worked with !! We bought a house will wallpaper from the 70's in every room and ceiling. They have gone above and beyond to do the job the correct way. The walls look flawless and the paint job amazing. I will have to find other jobs for them to do because the whole family will miss them so much.

I reached out to 3 companies from Angie's List, for estimates to paint the interior of my rental condo. We wanted to prepare it for sale. Kim and Kathy were the 1st to respond, always a good sign. We spoke over the phone and we agreed to meet at the condo. The Duck team did not know I had other companies coming to give estimates at the same time, but they were accommodating - they worked w/my husband while I worked w/another contractor. They were very nice and very professional. They gave us a very fair price and did great detail work. They kept the 'mess' to a minimum and I trusted them w/the key and let them do their thing. We did end up having to paint the ceiling (weren't sure if we'd have to) but they charged us quite fairly for that additional work. The paint they used covered well, but despite their hopes, they did have to do a 2nd coat. However they did not tack on huge, additional charges. I would definitely recommend The Ducks and will be sure to do so when the opportunity arises!

We hired Kim and Kathy to paint our new dining room, one bedroom and a small bathroom (plus the front door to the house). They were responsive, professional, punctual, and accommodating. Really, I can't say enough good things. We will definitely be using them again. They were helpful in choosing colors without being pushy or assuming anything about what we wanted. They were efficient and respectful of our time. Also, they got along well with our pets!

Kathy and Kim are excellent. We've actually have used them for many years. They have transformed our very ugly interior to a drop dead gorgeous one. They are honest and trust worthy. As long as they are available, I would not consider using any one else to work on my home. Not only is their workmanship excellent but they were invaluable in helping out with the design of things. We could not have done without their opinions on colors, textures, and shapes. At one point they painted the kitchen ceiling. I thought it was fine, but they did not like the outcome. So, they went ahead and repainted it without cost to us. If they come across a difficult situation, they are very skillful at finding a solution. They don't use subs and if it's something they can't do they will point you in the right direction. These guys simply do things right. Did I mention that they are very honest and trustworthy!
Description of Work: They have essentially remodeled our entire home. This includes kitchen, two and a half baths, multiple bedrooms, living and dining rooms. They installed all of the flooring, painted all of the walls and ceilings, refinished the existing and extensive wood work, painted the garage and dry walled some of the basement. They installed new cabinets in the kitchen and two and a half baths, tiled the kitchen and two and a half baths, installed wood flooring in the living room, dining room, four bedrooms and hall ways. They created an office with built in desk. We asked for a walk in shower in the master bath. They designed and put it together and helped with the selection of tile. They did much more, but it's hard to list every thing. Oh, and they sealed the stone on two fire places.

We deeply appreciate [member name removed] review of the work we did for him and his wife. We are grateful Angie's List brought us to this couple. We realize The List not only brings service providers to clients for a specific project, but also sets the stage for an ongoing opportunity that finds providers moving throughout the home, improving and transforming areas while,at the same time, cementing the trust between provider and client. We were privileged to develop such a relationship with the [member name removed], returning to them over several years to tackle whatever project was next on their list. Their confidence in us allowed us to expand our skills as new ideas evolved for different areas in their home. We will ever be grateful to them for this as well as for the employment they provided. Our hope is that every Angie's List provider can meet at least one client such as this in their career!

We had three painters quote from Angie's list to include the contractor we hired last year to paint the exterior of our house. They were the lowest bid and did a great job. They get my families highest rating for the work they did. That doesn't come easily. We were extremely happy and recommend them to all.

My experience with Ducks in a Row was wonderful. Not only did they paint, they helped us choose paint colors. When we were considering removing the wood paneling in our family room they convinced us that they could paint the paneling and have it look as good as if we removed it and replaced it with dry wall. And they were right! This decision saved us a lot of money. After they were done painting they hung window treatments in the family room and hung the pictures. During this part of the process they also helped us decide which pictures to hang and where. The end result was a complete transformation of the living room/dining room and family room simply by paining and changing the window treatments in the family room. The second part of this project involved remodeling the guest bathroom. Once again Ducks in a Row helped with paint color selection, removed old wallpaper and even helped us choose rugs and shower curtains. They installed a new vanity top that we had chosen and when it didn't quite fit, they were able to modify the installation and create a very cute little shelf perfect for displaying a few knick knacks. The same is true with the medicine cabinet. The one we chose didn't fit in the old space but Ducks in a Row were able to modify the space so that the cabinet fit. The bathroom looks spectacular.
Description of Work: Ducks in a Row painted our living room, dining room and family room. They also remodeled our guest bath. About 1 year earlier they remodeled our master bath.
