My experience with them has always been great. They are so good that they had painted my house and two years went by and they guaranteed it. It was chipping so they came, sanded and painted the whole thing. They may be a little expensive to start out but they really stand behind their work and they do a good job. I called Tim, he arranged and sent somebody to put new gutters on the back of the house. I'm just very pleased with him. He's a very reputable man and I would not hesitate to use him what so ever. He's a little higher but he is well worth it because he really stands behind and if anything is wrong he is back. He actually painted my house three times. I couldn't say enough good about him.

They were absolutely professional and were very nice people. It took them three weeks to get a proposal in. It was way too expensive but I'm sure that he is worth it. The gentleman was very pleasant, right on time, very punctual. There really wasn't anything I didn't like about him except that it was way above our head. You can tell by the contract how professional he was.

Estimator was unable to schedule an appointment for over 10 days because he "was busy". No big deal, and when finally onsite he seemed very professional and did a thorough job speaking with us about the project, taking measurements, and giving information. We stressed to him the timely need for the estimate and he agreed to email a preliminary "total cost" within a few days and the formal written proposal within a week. We were satisfied with that, however when day 8 passed with no contact we called twice (no return of our voicemails) and emailed, finally getting a brief call that he had sent it but "to the wrong email address". We corrected the address, however what came was just the preliminary "total cost" - not broken down in any way and $10k more than another estimate we got. When we then asked about the specifics of paint removal - something he specifically said could be done prior to prep/paint during the estimate - he said "no" it couldn't be done, with no further explanation of his own contradiction. We subsequently purchased the house and again reached out for the detailed job bid (based on Angie's List reviews we felt LOPCO would be a quality company to work with, even if they did charge significantly more...'you get what you pay for'?) but have never heard anything back. Shame on you LOPCO. Stop relying on quality reviews only to subsequently provide sub-par service to potential new customers. This was the worst "estimate" process I've ever been a part of and would not recommend your company to neighbors/friends/enemies looking for opinions/bids on a potential job. At least return phone calls and when YOU say you'll do something (like email a detailed job bid) by a particular day, you should really make sure you do it. It's been over 6 weeks since that "we'll get that to you within a week"...
Description of Work: Requested an estimate and onsite bid for an extensive exterior project - paint removal/lead abatement/carpentry and then restoration of an old home we were in process of purchasing. Specifically reached out to LOPCO because of their Angie's List reviews, but the service didn't come close to matching them.

Response from LOPCO Contracting
We appreciate feedback from Angie’s List members whenever it is received. With the case of this particular member though, there are several things that are far from truth and we actually find libelous in nature. In the review, it mentions that our company performed services for the member. This is false. At no point in time was the company hired by the member to perform services related to any project in any capacity. The review lists a “Work Completed Date’ of May 18, 2013. This is impossible as our firm was never hired to do work by the member in any way, shape, or form. It mentions in the review that the member would not hire us again. We ordinarily would appreciate this response to the ‘Hire Again?’ question, but yet again, our company was never hired in the first place so it should therefore not be possible for an answer to this particular question to exist. In the review, the member mentions that the home in question was built in 2010, it was actually built in 1840. In the member’s comments, he mentions that our estimator was unable to schedule an appointment for over 10 days. The member originally contacted our office for a quote April 4, 2013 at 9:00am. Our estimator scheduled an appointment and met with the member on April 9, 2013 at 3:00pm. This is within 5 days and 6 hours of the member’s request and very much contradictory to the member’s claim about our estimator not being able to meet with him for over 10 days after initially contacting the company. The original estimate was sent to the member on April 10, 2013 at 10:03am. This is one day after the initial appointment with our estimator and the member. Our estimator did have a conversation with the member on April 18, 2013 in which it was discovered that the initial estimate was accidentally sent to the wrong e-mail address, at which point our estimator was sure to re-send his original e-mail immediately. Contrary to the member’s statement, our company does not have any record of voicemail messages left nor e-mails received from the member in the time period from when the estimate was first sent to the member’s incorrectly addressed e-mail and the day of the phone conversation referred to on April 18, 2013. The original estimate which our estimator sent was in-line with our company’s policy with regard to pricing projects such as that which was shown and defined to him by the member at the time of the estimate on April 9, 2013. We did, as the member mentions, receive a request for a more detailed proposal from the member on April 23, 2013. After thoroughly reviewing our records, we have found that we dropped the ball on this and we have no excuse and apologize for not getting back to the member on this particular request. April 23, 2013 is the last time we heard from this particular member until we saw the review the member posted on Angie’s List on approximately June 19, 2013. We take great issue to the several misleading and false statements made by the member in their review.

I contacted Lopco Contracting because they had a lot of good reviews on Angie's list and I needed some exterior painting done quickly (it's a long story). They were very responsive from the first - worked with me on getting what I needed done within a reasonable cost, kept contact throughout so I knew what was going on, and did a professional and flawless job. Their crew was polite, professional, and cleaned up after themselves. They also followed up with requests I made for additional paperwork to satisfy my lender (a condition of the loan was that peeling paint be repaired within 30 days). I graded them 'B' for the price because I believe I could have had it done cheaper - but certainly not better, and certainly not within the time constraints I gave them. I couldn't have asked for a better experience in getting this painting done.
Description of Work: prepared and painted shutters, window trim, and a shed.

They came out when they said they would. They came right when they were scheduled to, they gave me a prompt estimate, and if I remember they were a little high. I liked them. As I said, their estimate was a little high, but it was very complete. It listed everything that they said they were going to do, they laid out the cost schedule, a payment schedule, it was very well done. Prompt, and I was pleased with it.

As stated, due to rainy weather issues, there were problems with the job that were not the fault of Lopco.
Description of Work: LOPCO contracting did a complete assessment of the condition of our house exterior and made recommendations on what needed to be done. We approved the repair of some rotted wood and complete re-painting of the house. The only issues we encountered was a very rainy several weeks when Lopco was trying to paint our house. The paint bubbled up thereafter and some had to be re-done. Even now, 3 years later there are some areas that need to be re-done due to bubbling paint because the wood was not completely dry prior to painting. We plan to contact them to make this correction and are hoping for a discount due to the issues.

The cost estimator was very professional and listened to what I wanted. This is what won them the work even though they were MUCH MORE expensive than any other vendor. The crew was great. I had a large team at my house they were all very professional, very polite, answered my questions and responded when I had concerns. The work took a week. They cleaned up after themselves. No complaints. If you can afford them, then they are a great company to work with.

We appreciate the member having us come out to provide an estimate for the work to be done on their project and apologize for any miscommunication that may have occurred during the estimating process. Although we may have not been the right fit, we hope that the project turned out well and that the member has a finished product that they can be proud of and will last for years to come.

Estimate only. Work was not actually performed.
Description of Work: We received an estimate from LOPCO for power washing the siding on our house, as well as power washing and re-staining our deck. Although we did not hire this contractor, we were highly impressed by the owner's prompt response, his courtesy and the time he took to answer our questions. We would have hired LOPCO, but decided to take a chance with another contractor whose price was considerably lower for the same work. Just hope the quality will be on a par with what we're sure LOPCO would have provided. We may very well call LOPCO again for other jobs that need doing. Their professionalism and responsiveness when called upon to do an estimate cannot be beat!

Overall, the service was very good. We had several estimates from other painters to prep and paint our 90-year old stucco home that was likely not painted for 50+ years (if ever!). Needless to say, there was a fair amount of work that needed to be done. While the LOPCO estimate was slightly more expensive than another reputable contractor, Tom's professionalism throughout the process was a plus and he was true to his estimate. LOPCO took the time to do the prep work right, used quality primer, and tolerated our initial indecision about color selection. We are very pleased with their work and would not hesitate to call them again.

This was my second time to use Lopco. I received an estimate in August and accepted it. Both times I've used them, I have found that what the estimator said is not necessarily what ended up on the agreement, so be sure to take your own notes and read the agreement carefully. to be sure it is what you expected. It was November before anything transpired (power washing) and almost Thanksgiving before the work commenced. They do excellent work and I am satisfied with the finished job.

We originally contacted several painters, and got several estimates. LOPCO's was among the lowest, and we were impressed with the references and the portfolio book and his attitude. Once we decided upon using them, we were put in contact with a color coordinator/designer, who walked us through some ideas and was very helpful about helping us decide on a color scheme (which, a year or so later, we still very much like). He also made available some contractors that he uses to repair all of the trim and soffetts that had rotted. This work was done very quickly. Once the colors were decided, they went out, and purchased the paint. Before the painting began, since we have aluminum siding, particular care was taken in prepping and cleaning the siding. Once the house was dry, and the weather good, the house was painted. At every turn, the workers showed up when he said they would, and were finished when they estimated they would be finished. All communication was very prompt and positive, and the results make it look like a different house (a much nicer house). I would and actually have recommended them to local family members.
Description of Work: We have a small two story house, which needed painting. Before the painting could commence, we needed some relatively minor repairs done to the exterior trim. All repairs were completed, and the house was cleaned prepped and painted.

I have never worked with a company that has done such a great job. They are a fantastic company and I cannot say enough good things about them. He really keeps on top of things and he does very good work. He is very ethical as well and he goes beyond what he has to do just to provide great customer service.
Description of Work: My house was chipping in a few places and he came and painted and they replaced a few boards that were rotted. They sent two workers that were here for two full days and they painted the front of my home and they even included the paint as they had did the work in the past and this fell under the warranty.

Response from LOPCO Contracting
We appreciate the Member's comments and apologize for the experience encountered. Immediately after our Estimator initially met with the Member (in the summer of 2011), that employee fell gravely ill. At the time of the incident, the company had no access to the original notes for quite some time. It was an unfortunate and unusual situation. In terms of pricing, the company does acknowledge that we tend to skew higher than the industry average due to a wide number of variables. Again, our sincere apologies for this occurrence.
