Straight Edge Painting & Cons

It was good. They did everything that had to be done. They were here every day and easy to work with.

They got a late start because a previous client added more work that prevented them from starting our job. The painting got done really quickly, but the other work took longer. The guys are really nice and Treated our home with great respect and professionalism.

They showed up promptly, on the appointed days, and worked hard to complete the job on time, and stay within budget. Most of what they did is aesthetically invisible (much appreciated), except for the access door. The new door is a little rough-around-the edges, and not quite in keeping with the rest of the house. However, seeing as we were on a budget, and simply asked them to cut a hole in the siding and add hinges and a latch, we pretty much got what we asked for. The best part is, the rodent proofing has held for several months. No more lying awake at night hearing scurrying noises in the walls, and wondering which wires they're chewing through now. My recollection of the actual cost right now is hazy... it has been awhile. It was a couple of days' worth of work, and a fair amount of material. I remember it being in-line with what I would have expected from my usual contractor (who wasn't particularly keen on this job... it was not a fun one). My 'B' rating on cost mostly the fact that I never expected to spend so much on rats & mice. However, given that the work has kept the critters out all winter long, it was well worth it.

He is extremely careful and very good. He always checked back to make sure everything is okay.

The worker was great. He was very thorough, even crawling around my very tight crawlspace (only 18" inches high), going all the way around it to see if there were any openings mice could come through. He also walked all around the house and inspected areas inside, like in the garage and attic, both places where I had trapped mice. Eventually he sealed up everything he could with wire mesh and foam. I have had no mice since and that was three months ago. He also noted the two places where sheet rock damage was evident and offered to repair them. The rate was $40 per hour, which I consider reasonable, so I gave him the go ahead and he did an excellent job. All in all he spent four hours and remedied both the rodent issue and some long-standing sheet rock problems. Great job and I'm very pleased with it.

I strongly recommend Paul Clunie, owner of Straight Edge Painting and Construction. I recently sold my house in Lake Oswego; and prior to the sale, Joe Daly, well-known Lake Oswego businessman, recommended Paul. Paul was a huge help to me. I used Paul's team to make various repairs including: exterior and interior painting, carpet installation, replacement of exterior siding, refinishing wood cabinets and baseboards, repair of textured sheet-rock, repair of insulation in the crawl space and cleaned up old construction debris in the crawl space. I needed a team I could trust because most of the work would be done while we were out of town in Florida. Paul's team did an outstanding job; and I was more than satisfied with all of their work. Paul knew I was selling the house and living in Florida and therefore would not be a continuing customer. But I never once felt that he treated me with lower priority on that account. From handyman jobs through major repairs, Paul is a one-stop resource.
