Description of Work: would not hire again. Work rendered was misleading(ie rendering spray painting vs brush). Paint did not adhere in all places. Called the owner back to have him make good on his 2 yr guarantee. He came and fixed the problem areas but notthe entire project. House needs repainting again; learned from other professionals that spray painting is a "cheap, quick and dirty" way to make fast cash but often doesn't last, particularly in New England.

Response from LOPCO Contracting
I remember Member's project quite well. Member was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her original project was completed in the Fall of 2007. Unfortunately Member had to invoke our two year warranty due to peeling areas on various areas on the body of her home (in the late Spring/early summer of 2008). We came out and fixed these areas thoroughly to the point where after we were done with our warranty repairs, the house looked like it had just been painted in its entirety. The first time we painted her home, it was done by a spraying and backbrushing technique. This is a generally accepted industry practice and contrary to Member's comments is absolutely fine to do if done in the correct manner, there is certainly not anything "cheap" in the way that we approach jobs in which we utilize a spraying technique to apply the finish coat. When we performed the warranty service on her home, a sprayer was actually not utilized in applying the finish coat product. Both the original paint job and the warranty visit had surface preparation and a priming process that was performed in-line with industry standards. This is important to note as surface preparation will often dictate the longevity of a paint job, even more so than the finish coat in many cases, unless there is an outside force at play. A high quality finish was used in both the original job and the warranty call back. Because of the way Member's paint is not adhering, there definitely seems to be a deeper issue than is associated with an average paint job. It is my professional opinion that the problem is more than likely stemming from a mill glaze issue that is not as easily diagnosed as a more common "wear and tear" paint failure. There is no reason why her particular job should not have lasted. We tested her house for moisture on many occasions (throughout both the original job and the warranty process) through use of a correctly calibrated moisture meter. We even had the paint manufacturer submit samples of the failing paint to a lab for additional paint failure diagnosis. Moisture was not the issue, the house was prepped and primed properly (in accordance with industry standards and the paint manufacturer's recommendations), and the finish coat was applied appropriately. Member's paint failure falls right in-line with many similar mill glaze based paint failure situations that we have seen in recent years. Mill glaze related paint failures are paint failures that are found in many homes that have been built in the Southern New England area, particularly from the mid-eighties to the mid-nineties (Member's home was built in 1989). The way Member's home does not hold a paint coating definitely seems to be in-line with other mill glaze related paint failures that we have seen. Unless the mill glaze is completely removed and the original wood grain of her siding raised in the mill glaze removal process, I truly believe no matter who paints the body of her home, the paint will not have a chance at sticking. Over the last couple of years we have benn able to develop more complicated systems of both diagnosing and treating these types of situations. When Member had contracted with us (5) years ago to perform the work, these systems as well as our means of more readily identifying the mill glaze phenomena were not yet in place. Once diagnosed, it is a very costly procedure to eliminate the mill glaze but once done, the system that we use nowadays will prevent homes which utilize it, from showing any signs of peeling for years and years to come. We stand behind our track record as our overall Angie's list reviews will surely back us up on. We paint about (200) homes a year in the Southern New England area and very rarely do we run into a situation like Member's. We stand behind our warranty with each and every job that we do (as we did in the case of Member). Over the past several years, we have been able to learn about very specialized failures - such as mill glaze - that were not as easily recognizable at the time we had originally performed the work for Member. We have been fortunate to learn a lot about these types of paint failures as well as ways to combat them appropriately and have even been able to be blessed enough to gradually develop a reputation as a company that is highly adept for handling these specific types of highly specialized issues. Unfortunately the technology we utilize today was not available to us at the time of Member's project (5) years ago. We truly made every effort, as we do with all of our Customers, to deliver a quality product to Member as well as to back up what we did when asked to do so within our warranty period. Although the technology to properly diagnose and treat Member's rare type of paint failure situation was not available to us at the time, we did everything we could in association with the way that things should be done as dictated within our industry to handle most paint failures. I am thorougly convinced that if presented with a similar situation to Member's today we have the tools in place to not only figure out why the paint is failing even in the most unique circumstnaces, but to be able to properly treat it as well (and we have exemplified this with many similar situations over the past few years in particular). I sincerely wish Member the absolute best and am hoping that whomever she decides upon to paint her home the next time has the ability to properly discern the mill glaze issue and to address it appropriately.

They were sub-contractors of on this job, so we are not aware of the price. We had them do the exteriors of our home 4 or 5 years ago, so we knew them when they came. The owner of the company came and checked things out before the work was started. Both the owner and the painter were courteous and friendly. The painter did a very thorough, careful job and came back later and touched up little thing and we were quite happy with them.

He was very professional and detail oriented when he came out to visit. He gave a niceluy detailed and timely proposal. The only reason we didn't go with them is because his proposal was priced higher than others we had received. I would certainly have them come out to price other projects as he was very knowledgable, very professional, articulate and overall very thorough. I would definitely recommend LopCo Contracting to others looking for a proposal.
Description of Work: We requested a proposal for a project that included a large number of items, such as exterior house prep and painting, interior house prep and painting, electrical work, carpentry work, window repair and shed repair.

I hired Lopco to paint a large Victorian 3 family home that had not been painted in over a decade. Additionally it was paramount that I deal with someone familiar with RI lead laws as I have 4 children and my home is located next to another home with several children under the age of 5. As others have alluded to, Tom spent over an hour looking at the job before submitting a very detailed quote. Unfortunately the original quote was significantly higher than several other quotes that I had received. I was so impressed with Tom's professionalism however, that rather than going with another company I chose to scale back the project and Tom agreed to make a small adjustment to the price. The workers showed up on time everyday, were exceptionally respectful and cleaned thoroughly at the end of each day. Tom was always available to answer questions and was extremely attentive to my requests. The job did go over time by several weeks but given the scale of the project and the work that needed to be done I was not surprised. Overall I am very satisfied with the work and the house looks really good given the age of the clapboard and shingles. If the original wood had been in better condition I have no doubt that Tom would have made the house look amazing. The bottom line is that if you're willing to pay a premium for truly professional behavior from the workers, easy access to the "boss", and quality work then Tom is your guy.
Description of Work: Chemically rinse, scrape, prime and paint a large Victorian 3 family home including siding, trim, soffits and foundation. Replace any rotten clapboard and shingles. Power-wash 3 decks followed by staining the floors and painting the spindles. Replace all gutters and downspouts. All work to be done with wet scraping and use of vacuums with HEPA filters as property was known to have lead paint on all surfaces.

The individual doing the work made sure that the outside of the gutters and the screens were also cleaned in addition to the siding. The work was done in a very professional manner with attention to detail. I would call again for this service.

These guys were very responsive and thorough: arrived on time for the quote; took three times as long do the walk-around to check out what was needed than any other contractor who gave me a quote; produced a quote that was very detailed (pages and pages!) and laid out every possible contingency, which was quite comforting actually. Unfortunately they quoted at a total of $20k what all the other painting contractors quoted at around $6k. When I told them that, they came back to my house and re-quoted, lopping $3k off the price but that was still too much for me to spend. While I'm sure they're totally worth it and I wish I could use them as they seem so reliable and their ratings on Angie's List are so great, I just don't have $17k I can invest in painting my house at the moment.
Description of Work: I was looking to have the exterior of my house repainted. It's a large two-story house, plus small garden shed, that will require a very minor amount of repair before painting. I asked all the contractors for a quote on power washing, scraping, sanding, priming and painting of all shingles, windows, doors, faschia, soffits and shutters.

LOPCO is an excellent company to work with. Not only professional, accommodating but it is the best work that has ever been done to our restored carriage house. They worked in extreme heat conditions and did not stop. We appreciated that they met their schedule, but actually helped get the project done in time for a huge cocktail party for a non-profit group. The powerwashing was excellent. All workers are courteous and explain everything if they came upon a problem i.e. clapboard replacement, etc. Please see the photos for yourself! I will never work with another company but LOPCO.

I've been using Lopco for several years now for all my painting needs, both interior and exterior. They come when they say they will (and even call if they'll be late); they are neat; they are respectful; they clean up after themselves meticulously; and, they do a great, professional job. I won't use any other painting contractor.

Making an addition look like it has always been there is always a challenge. LOPCO helped make the combination mudroom and laundry look like it was part of the house (originally built in the early 1900's) by custom matching the existing colors on the house to the paint for the new addition. They showed up when asked and kept their promise to have the work done before the weather changed for the winter. Next up is to have them back to do the rest of the house. The painting on the addition shows how much the house needs painting. Thanks again Tom and the Guys.

I recommended LOPCO to a coworker before they had finished painting my house- that's how good the experience was. When getting estimates, I had some nightmare contractors I had met with before I found LOPCO on Angie's list. I wasn't getting return phone calls; quotes were coming in very unprofessionally; and when giving the look-over, others missed major repairs. LOPCO was a night-and-day difference experience. Tom was very thorough in his assessment of the house. The quote page was detailed (6 pages long!) with specific outlines on all work to be done so there was no guessing as to what was and wasn't included. LOPCO included a 2 year warranty on all the work so I also had the piece of mind that I would be covered if a problem arose later. There was never any guessing as to when the crew would be at my house-- Tom from LOPCO kept in touch with me on an almost daily basis. The communication level was excellent, and if I did have a question he would return my call or email within the same day. The crew on site was very professional-- no paint splotches on my grass, shrubs or fence; no cleaning anything up; no random nails in the grass. They also left me the extra paint and the paint name/brand information in case a future touch-up is needed. The house looks brand new. Overall it was a very pleasant experience to work with LOPCO. I would recommend them to anyone and I will use them again for a future house project. It was great to find a contractor I don't have to worry about-- you could see the job getting done right throughout the process.
Description of Work: I hired LOPCO for an exterior paint job for a 3,200 sq ft house. There was a lot of carpentry/wood repair work that needed to be done to the house shingles.

I had heard of LOPCO on the Rhode Island NPR station and also saw them listed on Angie's List, so we gave them a call. Tom, the owner, called back within 24 hours to set up an appointment to meet us. We were comfortable with Tom soon after meeting him. He was not trying to "sell" us immediately, and we appreciated this. We got others estimates, but we kept going back to LOPCO and Tom, who also is involved in the community. We went over what we needed done, he explained the process and said he'd get an estimate back to us within a few days. The estimate was e-mailed to us within 48 hours and we hired LOPCO. Once they were able to start (what with the weather), the crew was hard-working and professional. We are not only very satisfied with the end result, we have nothing but praise for the owner and employees. Although the crew was here for almost a month, it was never an inconvenience and they always cleaned the work area at the end of each day. They were courteous at all times and even our neighbors commented on how quiet and professional they were.
Description of Work: Had company prep and paint 2 1/2 story residence, top to bottom. Even though this has been one of the wettest summers in years, LOPCO was able to complete the work contracted approximately on time. House needed a complete paint job, so LOPCO power-washed it, then after a week or so, principal work began on the residence. Scrapping, sanding, priming and then the first and second coats of paint.

I wanted to express my deepest appreciation Tom Lopatosky from LOPCO Contracting and his extraordinary staff for the wonderful job they did restoring my home to its original beauty. I have heard his advertisements on the radio for years and have found by experience that advertisers never quite live up to the promises they speak about, that is until I hired LOPCO Contracting - if anything they under-promised and over-delivered. I had several companies come to my home including actual paint manufacturers who all blamed each other for the issues of peeling and bubbling. LOPCO was the only company who took the time to locate the issue and to correct the problem. To this day neighbors and complete strangers drive by my home and just stop and stare, to me that is the ultimate compliment. I would gladly recommend LOPCO Contracting to anyone who is in need of their services.

Hired LOPCO to paint the interior of a 2 story addition. I needed it done in a shorter period of time so that it would be ready for Christmas. The tree was going up in this room. We had multiple colors that had to be matched to the existing house and they did an excellent job blending the colors of both rooms together. The ceilings are 18' and we were not going to paint them, but after all the rest of the painting was done we decided to do it. LOPCO charged us a very reasonable price for painting the ceilings and their attitude about it was great. I have had extra work done by other contractors and you can get the face and sighs when you want the extra work done, but they went right at it. Knowing we needed it done for Christmas, Tom (the owner) even had guys work until 7 pm some nights to get it done. I would hire them again.
