DEE'S PAINTING & DECORATING

I tried to get MC Painting to squeeze the job in at the end of the season in 2013 but they couldn't. They did promise me that they would get us on the schedule first thing in the spring. Spring came and when I contacted them they didn't have any record of me or the quote and offered to get us on the schedule for August. Said they had a computer crash so I was out of luck with them. I got some more bids and really liked dealing with Daryl Jones. He took the time to explain to me what the crew would do and what he thought was best. On top of the good impression I got from Daryl, his bid was the lowest and they were able to get started in a few weeks instead of months. When the time came, the crew showed up on time, they were pleasant and they did a first rate job. It came out great. They took the trouble to do everything right without rushing. This Summer I spotted some pealing way up high so I called and left a message to see if they would come out and touch it up. Before I knew it Daryl called me up from my driveway and was really concerned about making it right. He had a couple of guys scrape the spots and repaint them. No charge! I really appreciate working with someone who is dedicated to doing a good job and doesn't nickel and dime me.

Did not use them

The president of the company actually is the one who showed up to do the estimate. He was very punctual. However, that's about the only thing I have nice to say. He barely looked around, he did a lot of complaining about my home. He had a poor attitude as if he didn't want to take on this job at all. My home is a VERY old home...built in the late 1800's and the inside of this home needed updated cosmetically. This man seemed to have a problem with the fact that I was a woman and kept asking where my husband was. He talked to me as if I was stupid and a child. He kept saying over and over how long he's been is business and knows it all. It was a 3,000 square foot home and he probably only spent 10 minutes looking around. I kept telling him what I wanted to have done and he kept telling me I didn't know what I wanted and wrote down what HE was going to do. When I asked for the amount of his estimate, he told me he didn't give and quot;on the spotand quot; estimates and that it would come in the mail. It took two weeks for this estimate and it was for work that I didn't want done, but rather the work he wanted to do. Needless to say he was not hired.

They were on time, did the whole house plus my detatched garage in 3 Hours! It looks great, they went beyond what I hoped for and were $800 cheaper than the other company I got a bid from!

The walls had a custom calligraphy on them already. The estimator knew that they would need to be sanded down before painting. The actual painters did not want to sand them down and then when they did it was a terrible job. They were sloppy with their paint around the tub and shower. They did not clean up after themselves, they were very messy. The price was pretty steep for what they did.
