G&A Pro Painting

We scheduled with Andy Bodunov on 5/12/2020. He committed to painting three houses in our neighborhood, including my house. He appeared to be very honest and reliable. At the time, we were told he would start prep within a few weeks. We didn’t know at the time that he would say that for the next 3 months. When mid-August rolled around and he hadn’t starting painting 2 of the houses in the neighborhood, we asked for a completion date we could count on. It took him until the next week (and a follow up text and a follow up phone call) to tell us he couldn’t commit to a completion date. Oh, and his huge ladder has been on the side of our house now for weeks. Why is there a ladder when he didn’t get close to putting paint on the house? Great question. After a full 3 months of waiting, he left us in a bind (and with a ladder). His word can not be counted on. I am now left with starting the estimate process all over again in late-August. Beware.

Andy explained his entire procedure including caulking the entire home when he was reviewing for an estimate. He was prompt, on time, not only for the estimate but for the walk around after the job was done. He communicated very clearly and professionally when questions came up. The whole process took only 3 days and it is a beautiful paint job. I have a very "picky" tenant and she was amazed herself at how beautiful the home looks. I have recommended G & A to a co-worker who had Andy come out for an exterior and interior estimate and was very pleased with what he had to say and will be scheduling to paint his home soon. I highly recommend.

We had received Andy's name based on word of mouth and work he had done around our neighborhood. Andy was very responsive and friendly on the phone and we were able to have him come out to give us an estimate the next day. He walked around the house and told us everything that needed to be done and was very good about answering questions and giving suggestions. We had about 4 estimates done last year and Andy, by far, was the BEST estimate including all services that the other contractors provided as well. Andy was very patient and flexible as we moved our paint date several times because of all the rain this year. Picking a paint color is never easy and we had picked out several different colors and each time, Andy was very accommodating in coming out to our house and painting color swatches on the sides and marking which color was which in case we weren't home. He even brought over colors that he thought we would like based on what we were looking at. He has great suggestions and a good eye - was never judgmental on what we wanted to do. He started the job on June 14th and finished on June 18th - would've been done much quicker if not for all the rain. He power washed everything and even got our shakes looking like new before we even reapplied stain! I was amazed. He was very thorough and spent an entire day stripping and applying caulk because our house was so bad. Very professional, all our plants and flowers along the house were covered and no branches or anything snapped in process. He even repainted a few areas on his dime because of the rain and again, was very accommodating when we asked for some redo's. For our front door, we had a general idea what we wanted but could not find a color swatch that we liked. Andy has some proprietary colors that he has come up with and we loved the rich burgundy that he suggested and painted our front door with - it's a beautiful compliment to the rest of the house color. He even did his own suggestion for the shakes and they look amazing! We are very happy with the end results and the whole process was excellent from start to finish. I would recommend Andy to anyone and pit him against the bigger boys in terms of quality of work any day!
