DIAMOND CUSTOM PAINTING INC

CONTRACTOR WAS NOT HIRED TO DO THE JOB. IT TOOK OVER THREE WEEKS AND ADDITIONAL PHONE CALLS TO FINALLY RECEIVE AN ESTIMATE OF $10,620, WHICH WAS WAY OUT OF LINE FOR PAINTING A 1,600 SQ FT HOME. THIS "FULL SERVICE" ESTIMATE FAILED TO INCLUDE WORK ONE WOULD EXPECT FOR A FULL SERVICE PRICE. THE JOB INCLUDED 360 HOURS AT $27/HR AND $900 IN MATERIALS, WHICH MADE IT A 40-DAY (9 HR/DAYS) PROJECT. A HIGH QUALITY JOB WAS COMPLETED IN 12-DAYS WITH A DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR, FOR 75% LESS AND FOR THE MOST PART INCLUDED ONLY 1 (ONE) PAINTER ON THE JOB.

MR. STELMASZYNSKI AND HIS CREW ARE THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONALS. FROM BEGINNING TO END OF AN ARDUOUS JOB, THEY MAINTAINED A WORK ETHIC OF: 1) BEING ON TIME - EVERY DAY 2) TREATING THE PROPERTY REPECTFULLY 3) DILIGENTLY DISCOVERING AREAS OF COMPROMISE, AND THEN REPAIRING THEM IMMEDIATELY 4) COMMUNICATING ANYTHING OF QUESTION (EVEN WHEN I WAS ON VACATION 800 MILES AWAY) AND TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO REPAIR/REPLACE/RECONSTRUCT ANY NEWLY DISCOVERED PROBLEMS THAT AROSE. THIS CREW EVEN SPRAYED THE CARPENTER ANT'S NEST THEY ENCOUNTERED WHEN REPLACING THE STUCCO PANELING. I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH THE ENORMITY OF THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, BUT FELT I COULD NOT HAVE CHOSEN A BETTER OR MORE COMPETENT CREW TO OVERSEE THE PREDICAMENTS THEY ENCOUNTERED. I OFFER KUDOS TO MR. STELMASZYNSKI ON THE EXCELLENT WORK HE PROVIDED. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH IN PRAISE OF DIAMOND CUSTOM PAINTING, AND THE OBVIOUS CARE AND DETAIL THEY DISPLAYED, NOT TO MENTION THE KINDNESS AND CONCERN THEY SHOWED ME DURING THE DURATION.

WE WOULD NEVER HAVE ANYONE ELSE TOUCH OUR HOUSE. WE WAITED SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE OUR TIME ON THE SCHEDULE, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. EVERYDAY BEFORE LEAVING THEY VACUUMED AND CLEANED UP.

PETER STELMASZYNSKI IS THE ONLY PAINTER WE WILL USE. WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE COME CLOSE TO HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND QUALITY OF WORK.
