I had to get a refund for the Deal. The individual I spoke with was frustrated that I was outside his service area, so I couldn’t redeem the Deal in time. It was no fault of theirs. Across the board, the Deals really need to be zoned more accurately.

After initially balking at the distance to my place and indicating he could not honor this purchased deal, the owner later abruptly offerred to come on short notice. He brought another worker to repair 2 holes (each about 1 foot in diameter) in my drywall. My observation was that the second worker did nothing of substance, but his presence resulted in the time being reduced to 1.5 hours, and then requiring double pay for the remaining 2 and 1/2 hours the job required. The workers appeared to take numerous breaks, and I considered the resulting charges to be overpriced and the work to be somewhat inconsistent, although adequate.

This was a coupon purchase deal. The drywall holes were patched well, the plaster ceiling, not so much. The contractor rescheduled several times saying "I forgot" as an excuse, and when he did finally arrive, he smelled strongly of alcohol.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that we purchased. It turned out well. They were very friendly and very professional. They cleaned up very nicely. The wallpaper had been there for over 40 years and he told me they might have to come back because of the time it would take. He got all the wallpaper off and told me how to get the glue off so I didn't have to call them back. He told me what to buy to get the paper off and then they did everything else to dilate the stuff. They painted it on the walls, peeled off the wallpaper and scraped off anything additional. He showed me the areas that I would need to patch. He said he would come back if I wanted him to patch, sand and get the rest of the glue off. The pricing was great. He was late but he stayed a little bit extra.
Description of Work: We used Pittsburgh Painter's Guild to totally remove wallpaper and some of the glue. There was both foil and regular wallpaper in two rooms.

Steve maybe a great painter, but he is not much on replacing drywall. I had people out to provide quotes on replacing a single 3' x 8' drywall panel, with wholes needed for electric box, water lines, drain and vanity light cable. I was told it would take at most 1-2 hours to put up and another 1 hour to mud and paint. I called steve, after purchasing the deal and he came and looked at the project and agreed it would fall within the 3 hour time i had purchased. Well not so. Steve forgot to cut several wholes, measured incorrectly and i had to assist with recutting the drywall. Once the single panel was screwed on, i was told the 3 hours had run out and he had forgotten to cut a whole for the drain, no mudding was done and i have now been left with an incomplete job, which is actually worse then before the job began. Steve is a nice enough fellow, but i am really upset, he did state painting is he specialty, but i paid for drywall and i did not get my moneys worth. Will not use again.

We had purchased a deal for help after removing wallpaper from a bedroom- part of the ceiling/corner was damaged and we needed help with paste removal. We were not in any hurry but when Steve called a few days later and offered to start the job, we were a little surprised. He offered to come over within a few hours time (on a Sunday morning!). I think we expected the services to be provided by a "guild" of professional painters, but its actually a clever use of Steve's surname- Guild. We ended up getting a lot more work done than originally anticipated- the bedroom prepped and painted and our dining room repainted. Steve was always enthusiastic and willing to do any extra work- which is probably why he was not always on time- he really gets into his work and puts in extra time as needed. While it wasn't a problem for us as retirees, if we were still working time critical jobs, it would have been an issue. We were pleased with the work, the cost, all of the helpful suggestions for our next project, and the attention to neatness and clean up.

first of all member never told us he purchased a deal to remove wallpaper and wall prep and patch stress cracks we were called up by this member to apply paint to 2 units that he supposidly owned. we looked at the 1 st property 2 nail holes to fill and paint. we went to the 2nd property to look at what was needed to apply paint over paneling. apply primer and paint to the downstairs family room.after giving a price of 35 an hour and a handshake to seal the deal he asked why angies list was charging him 160 for the same 3 hours. we went from having a job to being beat up on price. after another agreement we got the job again.the 1 st unit was agreed on at 35 dollars an hour we were to start the next day hand shake again.2nd unit was agreed upon at the same rate. we left to buy the material and switch schedule around to accomidate this handshakey member we wasted 3 hours of time getting prepared beside the time with this member. and so after all is said and done hes not happy because he couldnt get this work done for less than minimum wage.

Steve and Rick are true gentleman and did their best to help me with decisions about paint, hinges etc. The kitchen looks great and so do the garage door, front door and porch. They made sure that the cracked and peeling paint on the garage door was completely scraped and melted off before painting. They even used an artist's brush to do the dental mold atop the front door. Their motto is" "No brush strokes".

He did some work the first day and I had to ask him not to come back. First day he didn't show up. Next day I paid him and he worked. The next day I had to call him to see if he was coming, he didn't show up. After that we decided not to have him back. He was very indecisive in the work that he did. The wallpaper came down easily, then he scraped, then there was a problem he had to add chemical and I didn't let him get to the painting. He brought some one else on the job and charged me $35/hour. I didn't know I was going to pay the additional prices.

thank you member we kept as busy as possible we were there to repair one wall thats all/ but being the house was on the market for 6 months with no genuine buyers we washed the gutters cleaned and sealed the brick in the problem area fixed the cracks on entry area of the porch floor and applied new epoxy over the whole area of versitone all this and more to try to help gain interest from potential buyers. our job was only to fix the wall but we had to wait for the plaster to dry so in the meantime instead of sitting around wasting time we chose to help the homeowner with a few small projects to help in the curb appeal of there home. thats the difference when you deal with pleasant customers. thank you members good luck with the sale of your home

The job didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped. There were some scheduling issues at the start with them saying they don't service my area. They eventually did come out and the job took much longer than I felt it should have, for what I had hired them to do.

He was over an hour late,but he did a good job on the removal of the wallpaper. When the 3 hours were used up from the Big Deal, I paid him hourly for 2 more. The job was half finished, but I didn't ask him to come back. I finished it myself.

Made appointment. Provider called a week before appointment to let me know he would be late for his appointment that day. I told him he was a week early. Called on actual day of appointment to tell me he would be a little late. They were two hours late. He (guy 1) came with another worker (guy 2). Guy 1 was in and out of my house at least 12 times (was raining that day ... never took shoes off). They were there for 1-1/2 hours. Guy 1 worked in main bathroom (most wallpaper was already down, wall just needed to be cleaned - paste, etc.). Guy 2 worked in hall bathroom. After 1-1/2 hours of work, Guy 1 called me up to tell me there was a problem. Hall bathroom wallpaper too hard to remove. The amount actually removed was ridiculous. That bathroom wallpaper was in perfectly good condition - just outdated. Now it is a mess. Just one very small section of wallpaper was removed - drywall showing through/ripped off. Took me two hours to clean/scrub the bathroom when they left. Main bathroom - one very small area was cleaned. The amount of work done in 1-1/2 hour was a joke. Instead of telling me about this at the beginning of the appointment, they waited to the end. If I had known there were issues, I would have told them to only do the main bathroom. And, no, I did not read the small print which stated one guy - 3 hours; two guys - 1-1/2 hours. It would have been nice if I was told up front that he was bringing another person. He asked me at the end of the appointment what I wanted them to do. I told them ... get out of my house. It was an absolute waste of my money and both bathrooms are worse than they were.

I called Steve and he returned my call right away. Steve and Rick came out to my dads house where we needed some wallpaper removed and the walls of a bathroom repaired so i could paint them. They were very professional they showed up on time and were upfront with an estimate about how long the job would take. They did great work and i was very satisfied with the price i payed for the job! They were right on with the estimate of how long the job would take! Overall it was a great experience for my first purchase on Angie's List! I would definitely use the Pittsburgh painters guild again in the future! Thanks alot guys! Great job!
