Great. On time and professional

The overall experience was excellent. From our initial phone conversation through the last day of the project, Barry was responsive and always professional. He also came up with an aesthetically pleasing as well as cost-effective solution to a problem we were having with a drafty attic door that we wanted fixed. He emailed us a detailed estimate of the work to be completed with the associated fees. He also included fees for future projects that we were considering having done. He listened to our requests and concerns and completed projects based on these specifications. He also took extra care to respect our home by cleaning up at the end of the day. We highly recommend Barry for home improvement projects and will definitely be using him again for future projects.

The service was top notch, quality of work very good, workers were punctual everyday that they arrived on the job. The work itself didn't take as long as anticipated, so that was another plus. I would certainly recommend them to anyone and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

The work was completed on schedule and for a competitive price. We had a tight schedule - Barry proved to be accommodating and worked with us on this, so there was as little disruption in our house as possible. Barry was very responsive to a follow-up call regarding some small paint splatters and cleaned everything up wonderfully. As an added bonus, Barry picked up the paint for us for no additional charge (we paid for the paint, but he didn't charge us for the pickup) and was even able to get us a discount! We are very happy with the services Barry provided and would definitely use him again when we get around to having the remainder of our home painted.

Having stripped paint by myself in other rooms in my house, I can tell you that their attention to detail was top notch. The key here is they took the time to get it done right. Never rushed it and just stayed the course. It was absolutely tough in the beginning and I felt for them as they used the Peel Away paint remover almost burning themselves in the process. But they were always careful to cover the floors and any and all areas other than the molding and trim. One of the amazing things that Barry and his crew did is to create a distinct line to differentiate our ceiling from our walls. Because of the character of these houses, the walls in our 1st floor do not have 90 degree corners, all the corners are rounded out. With a straight edge and good eyes they created a beautiful line all around the ceiling to differentiate the side walls from the ceiling. Very hard stuff to do and they did it and did it well. I almost forgot to mention about the amazing paint job they did as well. Really crisp clean lines and no spotting in the color of the walls. I've learned to paint from art school and I can tell you he had some art school people on his crew because the color was bold, no splotching, or drips. One of the best painters in our neighborhood in my opinion. I'm definitely going to have Barry Bush and his crew back hopefully after we save up from what we already spent on this job. He'll be the first person I call for out next painting job. Overall, I would highly recommend Barry Bush and his crew for restoration projects here in Philadelphia. They really excelled beyond my expectations. The paint stripping above all was the real highlight and to see that level of detail after the stain was applied was really worth the cost.

Our outdoor/basement steps were rotted and the hatch door leaked until they finally collapsed, forcing us to deal with a job we'd been delaying because it wasn't obvious how to rebuild this. Barry (and his associate Dan) figured out how to attach new steps to the masonry sides and how to build a hatch door that would be tightly sealed against water. When they started the job they found that the masonry was crumbling, so they rebuilt sections of it, carefully sloping it so that water would run away from the hatch. They attached the steps firmly to the sides, built a plywood hatch door, and built new steps from the deck. They sealed the whole thing with foam and waterproofed the gaps. This wasn't the kind of job that needed to be pretty (the whole thing is hidden under the deck) but it needed to be tight and strong, and they did a great job, and I am certain, from my neighbors' experience, that they can do "pretty" jobs as well.

We're extremely happy with our new, larger back deck. Barry's estimate was within about $10 off the final price, based on an estimate of two days of labor for two workers if they didn't run into anything unexpected (three days max if they ran into something unexpected), plus actual cost of materials (wood and paint). We had a small L-shaped back deck with railings that were rotting, and we wanted to replace the railings and enlarge the whole deck by squaring it off. Barry had two people as part of his team who were experienced in deck work who did a great job. Barry supervised and also did some of the finish painting. If you look at our new deck you'd never know that part of it is old and part new. They made one suggestion that we really loved. This resulted in their changing the style of the railing just slightly (rotating the 2x4s that top the railings 90 degrees) so that we can now place our coffee cups or wine glasses on the top of the new railings (the old ones were too narrow). They even managed to match the paint color perfectly. Now we use our deck so much more that we wish we'd done this sooner! We will definitely use Barry again for other house projects in the future.

Mr. Bush arrived on time, with extra help to get the job done in a short amount of time, which was done as a special favor for myself as I was traveling between cities at the time. Mr. Bush was extremely accommodating, asked me exactly what I wanted and delivered promptly and exceedingly well. The job was done in less than one and a half days and the apartment was left clean and well painted.

Very well. Barry is great to have around; friendly, too, and considerate of my small child. The work he did was fast and affordable.

I e-mailed Barry and he got back to me right away. He came to my house and provided me an estimate a few days later. I told him I would like the work done within the next month and he e-mailed me back a few weeks later to confirm a date. He performed the work in two days and I had no complaints. The ceiling looks great and so do the lights.

They gave us a very reasonable estimate to install new drywall in our spare bedroom, and to paint it if we wanted. We decided to paint it on our own, but had them go ahead with the drywall work. They were able to work our project into their work schedule very quickly, which worked out very well for us. They had the drywall up and taped in one day, came back another day to sand down the first layer and add a finishing layer of spackling, then finished on a third day with final sanding. They even prime-coated the areas where they spackled. They kept the work area very neat and tidy between work visits. We were very happy with the finished work and the manner in which they were able to keep the mess from a drywalling project under control and out of the rest of our house. They didn't leave a mess behind when they were finished.

Barry's work, service and professionalism was of a very high standard. He was able to visit our home within two days of us contacting him (we received a flyer and also read other reviews on line) and made sure he was clear on what we wanted. Originally we wanted to buy a new front door and have Barry install it. When he heard our plans, he, very politely, questioned why we wanted a new door and we actually decided to keep the original door after all. Barry saved us around $1000 and ended up with a much harder job for himself, which he joked about a few days later. He did a fabulous job on the door and we are thrilled we stuck with the original. During the job, Barry had another workman come in to stain the deck. This ensured that the job was completed within the week he promised. The painting was completed in two days and done to a high standard. We were also able to save money on paint thanks to the discount Barry receives.

Barry did a great job! He was so considerate that the concierge in my building asked for his name to recommend to other people. Everything was clean and tidy with no sloppy drip marks! When I got home, there was no paint smell, nor any other indication that he was in my condo other than my perfectly painted walls! I was definitely use him again.

It went great. Barry was professional, warm, friendly and a pleasure to work with. He returned all phone calls, came on time and finished the work promptly. He did not go over his estimate and offered a very reasonable price for the work. He was neat and cleaned up everything well. He even entertained our toddler a bit! We recommend him without reservation.

Barry was punctual when coming over to provide me with an estimate. He got back to me promptly with cost, approximate start date, supplies needed and time work would take. He started on time and finished on schedule. He was neat and cleaned up as he went along. Barry is suppose to come back and do portions of my kitchen.

He was punctual, efficient and reliable. His work was high quality. I would definitely hire him for other work.

Went very well. He gave us a fair estimate, stuck to it, finished in 2 quick days. Basically he said what he could do, did it, and did it well. The room is now ready for us to paint and the old dirty water damage is gone!

Everything went very well. Barry was referred to me by a friend, whom he had done some painting and other work for. Barry was punctual, responsive polite, friendly, and professional from setting up the consultation, through completion of the job. I picked up the paint in advance (with brand recommendations from Barry) and Barry brought everything else he needed. He estimated 2-3 days for the entire job, and it took him less than 2, but not the the detriment of the quality of work. The paint job looked great. He taped in the dining room around some tricky molding, and it came out very clean. He did not tape the bedroom or bathroom (but likely would have if I had asked, understanding the additional time it would take). There were only a couple edges that weren't perfect, but which go relatively unnoticed. He cleaned up after himself when he left and the place looks absolutely great. I've already lined Barry up to do more work at my house, and have recommended him to friends.

Barry rescued us from a faux finish gone horribly wrong. As reasonably experienced do-it-yourselfers, we attempted to repaint our newly remodeled bathroom using some crazy Valspar Granite paint. Barry was able to save this project by experimenting a bit with the technique. His attitude and attention to detail were exactly what we needed.
