my name is winston kirby of kirby painting... i believe this review was intended for my brother gary kirby.... but from myself-- and on behalf of my brother of Noah's Ark Construction--we are most grateful and thankful to this member for the positive review. thank you winston and gary kirby
Description of Work: I feel very fortunate that Winston Kirby did an excellent job of improving the work of his workers. Winston is good, but his workers need improvement. The primary painter of my house could not speak english, was a poor caulker and was focused on how fast he could get finished. Another worker wanted to argue to get out of doing touch up work. Winston was great, but his workers were in need of re-orientation and guidance. | |

i did this member's job during the holiday season ... i had several members including this member ......because i was so backed up ..i hired on a couple of other painters in hopes of catching up. unfortunately it wasn't working out.. i kept looking in on this job and i saw what this member saw. i went and pulled my son chris off another job and he and i fixed everything... in the world of painting it is very hard to find good help and i'm still looking.. but since this member's job those painters have been let go and will not be hired again. i apologize for this incident... but i will always make it right. winston

Description of Work: When you meet Kirby, you believe this guy is a man of his word. It is so not the case! Kriby Sr. is very unprofessional! We used his Co. because so many people said he was so great on Angies List. It was not our experience at all. We did not have time to micro manage him because we were in the process of moving. I go into rooms that are a constant reminder how bad of job they did. They had a punch list that was never finished. It is so bad for example, glossy paint to go and patch up an entire room that was flat paint. Our first experience with Angies List was not a good one. We have used several people off the list and had great experiences.

i expected a bad report from these members. we ended on bad terms but it had nothing to do with the work.some members use angie's list to in a dishonest way because they can. alot of times they do not write the truth. you don't get out of someone's house without a punch-out list-- if that happens it isn't the contractor's fault -it is the member's. i did the punch-out list with these members--other-wise how would i have gotten the final payment and if you don't like what you see--then why pay for it ????????. this had nothing to do with the work. they tried to get me to do several rooms that were not part of the contract at no cost to them. and i wounded up doing a texture and paint on a bathroom that was not part of the contract but i did it anyway. and they started wanting more things done but were not willing to pay for it. i just finished a job on january 6th, 2012 at 2634 collingwood dr. --if you will compare the addresses--you will see that this house is directly next door to these members. this member saw the work i did on these member's house and hired me to do his. i have 92 reports on angie's list and only 4 negative so i must be waying more to the good than not.... my crew has never complained about any member but with this particular member -- i have never seen my crew so stressed and vocally letting me know how desperately they wanted to get away from this job. and it was in part to the disagreements they heard me having with these members. i gave them more than a fair deal on this project but they just kept wanting more and more like i worked for free. after the bathroom that i threw in for no cost --that was as far as i was willing to go . their report had nothing to do with my work--it was because i wasn't willing to be something on the bottom of their shoe. if a few negative reports out of 92 makes you think i'm a bad painting contractor-- then that's your loss not mine. don't look at just a few reports--look at least five or ten or more --nobody can please everyone and some can't be pleased at all no matter how hard you try. these members used angies's list in a dishonest way in an attempt to discredit me --it had nothing to do with my work. if you could go look at the work i did in this member's house- you would agree with me 100 percent.

Excellent!
Description of Work: IMr. Kirby came out and provided a bid within two days of my call. His bid was similar or slightly less than other bids I received. I chose Kirby Painting based mostly on Angie's member comments, but also because Mr. Kirby impressed me with his professional knowledge. I had a "gut" feeling that Mr. Kirby was our man. We built our home in 1995. The home "settled" shortly after we moved in. The original sheetrock work was shoddy. This, in addition to the home's "settling", contributed to the opening and buckling of several tape-joints in the living room ceiling which has an open (two-story) cathedral style. The builder would never return to make it right. After 15 years of doing nothing (ha!), we contracted with Kirby Painting to repair all sheetrock cracks, tape-joints, and paint the majority of our home's interior (entry, living, dining, kitchen, stairways, open upper/lower hallways, and ceilings). The work included four tape-joints (10ft-spans/each) meeting at an 18ft ceiling point. Additional work included tape-joint buckles at several ledges and room corners; minor cracks; painting interior walls; front-face of kitchen cabinets; and all trim in these areas. Mr. Kirby's crew did an exceptional job. They are artists in the field of sheetrock repair. Their painting is meticulous. They work hard all day, clean up in the evening, and are punctual in the morning. They finished this job in four days. I would particularly like to commend Juan, who supervised the crew. He worked diligently along with the other men, helped me select slight variations of color, and was responsive to our needs. All men were professional, polite, and a delight to have in our home. I would not hesitate to hire Kirby Painting again. I've been a Realtor for almost 30 years. I know a lot of painters, both good and bad. I recommend Kirby Paint without reservation. Thank You, Winston Kirby, Juan, Rick, Martin, and Pedro. I will be calling you again to paint the rest of our home! I will also recommend you to all of my real estate clients who need any sheetrock repairs or painting!

Winston returned my call quickly and was able to come out the next day for an estimate. While not the lowest, he was very thorough in explaining what needed to be done, comparing paints and color suggestions, and giving a time estimate. He and his crew were prompt and friendly. When they ran into unexpected problems, they were quick to suggest a solution that was quality, but not budget-breaking. The exterior of our house has never looked better. The work done was of the highest quality and we felt Kirby Painting went out of their way to keep us informed and work around our scheduling issues. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a quality paint job.
Description of Work: Winston repaired and painted the exterior of our house. Fascia board and siding were rotting and had to be replaced, as did some trim.

Winston returned my call right away and scheduled an appointment to meet to discuss the work to be done and provide an estimate. He arrived at the scheduled time and walked through the house with me. He listened to what I needed, asked questions to ensure he had all of the information he needed and provided good input on what we should do, how long it would take, etc. He is very professional and detailed. I received a quote by email the very next day. Winston provides very good customer service. We had agreed on a start date, however, some conflicts had come up with my work schedule and we had to reschedule. Winston was very accommodating and worked to make sure he could meet my schedule. On the scheduled date, the team arrived on-time. They were very professional and got right to work. They were able to finish the job earlier than planned. They did an excellent job and the house looks great. They were very neat and cleaned up before they left. I would hire them again!
Description of Work: Winston prepped and painted our living room, kitchen, dining room, hall, bathroom, master bedroom and master bath including the base boards in each room. They also painted the back door and touched up the ceiling.

Winston answered my call, came to the house on a weekend, and provided a quick and accurate estimate within days. It's been a terrible summer for exterior painting, with all the rain, but he got to our house without too much of a wait. Something required a second coat that he had not counted on and the final cost was $60 more than the estimate; but I felt the price was very fair. Winston was very considerate, tidy, professional, and the paint job is outstanding. I love it!
Description of Work: Winston painted our porch ceiling, columns, front door (in and out), the trim, garage doors, all the new siding on the front of our house (including the whole second story), and all the siding on the eaves-four colors in all.

Kirby was the first to respond to my request for a bid. We were on a very short time line (less than 2 weeks before 30 out of towners are due here). Kirby was the only one who said with confidence he could get it done. He and his crew just finished this afternoon, 3-1/2 days after starting. Their work is excellent and they are great to work with. We have already arranged for Kirby to come back in June for additional interior painting we need and we will use him for all future projects, interior or exterior.
Description of Work: Winston Kirby and his crew caulked, repaired, and painted walls, doors, and trim of the entry hall, hallway to bedrooms, the dining room, the family room (with 18 foot ceilings), the kitchen eating area, the kitchen cabinets and the enclosed bar.

Winston Kirby exceeded our expectations. Winston kept us informed through every stage of the project. The costs did not go up from the original estimate and Winston checked in through every stage of the project to ensure we were completely satisfied. He did a final walk through and touched up any areas we pointed out. The crew arrived on time every day and kept the work area clean. As a bonus, Winston heard we had floor guys coming in after him, and he offered to come back and touch up any scrapes they might have done. To top it all off... his crew finished ahead of schedule. We will definitely use Kirby painting again!

Mr. Kirby did an excellent job. He went above and beyond the call in his professionalism and attention to detail. He protected the carpet and furniture and filled in a crack by the window frame so air would not leak through. He also filled in some small holes in the walls that had been left by previous owners. After painting, he took the time to move my furniture back exactly where I wanted it placed. He was very helpful and gave me some good advice on future painting projects in my home. His price was reasonable and Mr. Kirby charged me exactly what he had quoted me on his written estimate. I was very impressed with Mr. Kirby and his work.
Description of Work: Mr. Kirby painted the ceiling, walls and trim of a large master bedroom in my home. The ceiling looked 100% better when he finished, as he repaired and filled in the dark spots. He also took the time to repair and paint over a wood beam that had gotten paint on it by the previous painter.

My husband managed to shove his foot through the ceiling when storing files in the upstairs attic. Winston Kirby assessed the damage and went to Home Depot for drywall, tape and a can of spray texture. He fixed the hole for a reasonable charge and matched the texture perfectly. Now I need him to come back and repair the latest damage (same perp/same hole)!

They were excellent; they used good quality paint. The trims look good and my neighbors even liked it. The windows didn't need painting just the door trims and doors. I have used them for years so they are very good. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. The price was very reasonable also.
