Paul and co. did an excellent job. This was our second time working with Paul and we highly recommend him and his crew. They gave us a firm price and were very responsive. Also, they were extremely professional and friendly. I do believe that he and his son will be our contractors for a very long time. Very pleased with the results.
Description of Work: We completely gutted our guest bathroom (tile, bathtub, got rid of a wall, toilet install, new larger window, paint, got rid of the furdown, installed all fixtures), sanded/painted our kitchen cabinets, changed hinges to slow close/hidden hinges, painted our nursery, installed ceiling fan, fixed garage door control.

At first, he was my hero. Then, he started not showing up and not calling or texting why. Threatening to quit in the middle of the job, because, my Husband called him on the cementing of the surround of the sunken jacuzzi. The price kept rising. I ended up paying him $20K for what? I have a non-working Jacuzzi and a lot of unfinished painting. Ceiling shows a lot of imperfections because of the glazed paint. Installed 4 solid wood doors. Two of them were stained on the inside of the bedroom and painted on the inside of the bathroom and outside of the bedroom. The other doors were just painted. He did not complete the staining nor the painting. One of the trims inside of the bathroom, actually has paint on it from the wall. Not professional painting. Again, not showing up when he was suppose to be there with no explanation and maybe days later. Price exceeded what we had agreed on initially. Luckily, I was able to cove it. I believe that he knew that I had been through **** with 2 other contractors and took advantage of my vulnerability.
Description of Work: Hired Paul Alvarez for his position of painting. Found imperfections in the ceiling and basic trim around doors that were not painted, or painted but had wall paint on the door trim. Also, hired him to complete bathroom from two other bad contractors. He installed a jacuzzi, which is still inoperable. Ignored my phone calls and text messages. Said that he would come, but, never did. Days would go by. No phone call or text of why he wasn't coming. Now, Jacuzzi is not in working order and he won't come back. Left an exposed wall outlet and unfinished items. Thought the world of him. Now, I know that he was just conning me, $20K later. He did not do anything else in the bathroom, but, the walls, flooring, jacuzzi and a fireplace.

Response from Alvarez Painting
It's taken me awhile to respond but what my customer says here is pure lies. We did take over a nightmare job were she brought guys in that knew nothing about construction, she was quoted very well for what she got,this project she kept adding and we never proceeded without proposing scope of work 1st. So i spent so much time to please her and i never ask for final payment until job is complete. If she was being honest she'd post pictures of beginning to the end, she says i was her hero until i couldn't come when she wanted for something so small I told her I'd come when i got a break but that wasn't good enough so she said I'm gonna blast you on every site I'm capable of because she couldn't operate Jacuzzi she purchased without instructions,this is were the whole problem started. She hired us to do what two other contractors weren't able to do. We had to jack hammer floor to do a sunk in tub which she didn't realize that this type of tub was meant to have free standing space but in her small bathroom it had to be put up against the wall which we did everything to accomindate my customer i took many pictures and video and she was very pleased along with her husband and everyone who saw our finish product. These pictures are not my finish product, she had taken so many of the project from her 1st contractors that she's trying to use here which is unfair of her especially since i have my own finish pictures and there not these that she has posted. We went online tried getting her a copy of instructions spent a lot of time calling vendor who sold her this tub which never called back and she knows that because she couldn't get them to help her either. We filled the tub ran the jacuzzi showed her that the radio played how to adjust the led lighting in this tub how to start and how to stop which we had to learn on our own since there were no instructions provided by owner. I could go on how thrilled she was with us but i won't if anyone would like to see finish pictures with videos I'd Love to share so that my Angie customers will know who's the honest person here.

Paul and his crew got to work right away and completely transformed our house. He even guided us with paint choices that ended up complementing the whitewashed ceilings. He was extremely professional and did an amazing job. Everything looks flawless. We had other issues come up during the move and he was able to coordinate his subcontractors to work with us. We were able to get everything done before we moved in at the end of the two week period. His son, Justin, is also super nice! We've already recommended Paul to our best friends and their hiring him to work on their home. We're planning on painting the exterior portion of the house in the future and you can be assured that we will be hiring Paul and his crew.
Description of Work: We bought a house in October and needed a complete paint job on the inside before moving in. The house was in good shape but it had very high ceilings that were wooden. I didn't like the wood color as it was overwhelming and made the large space seem dark and dingy. My husband and I decided to compromise and to whitewash instead of paint it all opaque. It was difficult to find a painter who was good at this particular technique and thankfully we found Paul!

I used Alvarez Painting for complete interior painting, repairs and carpet for an investment property (1500 sq. ft.) and the entire experience was excellent. They were able to work with me on a short timeline, the communication throughout was great, they were accommodating to the inevitable changes/additions that tend to pop up in renovations and their pricing was very fair. Paul and his crew did a fantastic job and I simply cannot recommend them enough.

I recently have gone thru a remodeling nightmare spending $$ thousands $$ of dollars and experiencing the worst drywall and paint job I've ever seen. To correct this I went to Angie's List and found Alvarez Painting Company. Paul Alvarez, the owner and General Contractor, was absolutely wonderful to work with! He assessed my issues, gave me a very reasonable bid, showed up on time with a professional and English speaking crew, sanded all my walls and cabinets down, used **quality paint**, covered all furniture, floors, counters, used extreme care in handling breakables, and did a fantastic job fixing the mess I was left with the first time around. Paul was also on property and working along side his crew the entire time so If I had any questions/problems, they were handled immediately. At the end of each day there was no mess, STRESS and very little dust. When they completed this phase of my project, they replaced all switch plates, etc, moved all items back to their original places. I could barely tell they had been there...no paint in my bushes, sidewalk, carport, brick....VERY Impressive! Whether you live in a million dollar home or a small condo, they will treat your project with the same respect and pride in workmanship. Angie's list rated them an A+, I would rate them an A+++! I am having Paul come back and finish out my bedrooms and then my home will be showroom ready, at least on the inside! Fixing the yard up is going to be another beast of a project!

Paul did a great job. I initially asked for the painting quote and Paul was very competitive. In addition he gave me an estimate for all other jobs I was already getting quotes for from other contractors like the hardwood floor, granite counter-top replacement and backsplash replacement. He was most competitive on all of them saving me thousands of dollars. The job took almost 3 weeks and was completed on time. Everything was done very well. Paul organized all the work and had no problem with me changing my mind in the middle of the project. Communication was excellent and there were no surprises. He even fixed our baseboards free of charge after the new carpet was put in resulting in small damage here and there. Overall I will use Alvarez painting for our future renovation projects and highly recommend everybody to give them a shot.
Description of Work: Paint the whole house including walls, ceilings, baseboard, crown molding, doors, windows and all cabinets including kitchen. Kitchen remodel including replacing back-splash and counter-tops. Installation of hard wood floor in our game room - needed to be perfectly matched with the rest of the house.

We called Alvarez painting to get our house ready to sell. We had wallboard damage in one room. We also had two skylight holes in the ceiling that had to be closed up. The entire house had "popcorn" ceilings and there was mssing/damaged trim inside and outside of the house. Paul Alvarez and his team did an outstanding job. They were clean, courteous, professional and did everything possible to make the experience painless. While it is impossible to have someone in your house for 3 weeks without problems they did an outstanding job and immediately responding to any, and all, issues we brought up. Highly recommended!

Very resourceful Pricing was VERY fair Paul did not ask for any cash up front.....no money exchanged until job was finished I will definitely call on Paul for future projects and would gladly recommend his service to others

We were very happy with the work that was done. About six weeks later, perhaps due to recent earthquake activity or maybe just typical movement in a pier and beam home, we had some spots near where the work was completed that cracked. I called Paul and he came out a couple hours later that day, checked it out, and then said he'd come back in the afternoon and repair it for us. He and his son came back and completed the work at no charge. We are very grateful for the excellent service and would definitely use them again.

This was a major scope-creap project. Started out with repairs to a closet that had held the water heater. Then we expanded the project to include refinishing and painting the walls in two bedrooms, a hall, a bathroom, the laundry room - and installing wood floors in the entire bedroom wing of the house, including closets. So all furnishings were removed and replaced. Plus we added new doors through-out the house - started with three doors and finished with 12 - door frames are all off alittle due to this being a 45 year-old house. Paul and his team were very flexible, were very diligent, and cleaned up after themselves. They started at 8:00 am and finished at 6:00 pm. They only took breaks for lunch - no smoke breaks, or rest breaks - they worked! When I asked about floors, Paul brought in a sub-contractor that laid new hickory foors - previously carpet - and they were finished to our specifications with a matching stain to the wood in our living areas. Paul Alvarez was on-site throughout the project and acted as my project manager - we had a running list of items that we worked through together and he kept up with the list. The last item that they finished was the wine closet that they created from the old water heater closet - creative solution. We will have Paul and team back after the first of the year to refinish our bedroom/office, which will be a small project by comparison. Paul helped us to create solutions around color and texture for the rooms that we finished and he ensured that the work was performed to our satisfaction. His team treated our home and furnishings with the same care that they would use in their own homes - they were all professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Texture and Paint walls in three rooms, hall, bathroom. Install baseboards in three bedrooms, closets, and hall. Moved all furniture out and back. Brought in sub-contractor for on-site wood floors. Made multiple repairs for cracks and required touch-up paint. Re-stained woodwork in the kitchen. Acted as general contractor for the project. Re-finished the front door by hand sanding, staining, and sealing it.

They were very responsive because I did not plan ahead and they responded the very next day after my garage floor was refinished and all my stuff was out on the driveway. Their painting quality was fair in my judgment. I had to point out areas where they missed caulking. I also found where they did not paint the top of some shelves.

He skimmed/painted and I paid him the $1,500 in cash. I called (and texted about 3 times) Alvarez to tell them they missed some paint in some areas. I never once received a return phone call. Additionally, a week goes by and I begin to put up my crown molding and the walls are so uneven, there are two inch gaps between the crown molding and the walls. I had to reskim the entire room.

Response from Alvarez Painting
Totally untrue, this house was a flip job we told him of the many problems he insisted on just getting the wall skimmed which we did and did a great job, but this customer thought he could add additional work and it would be free, the foundation is all messed up and when a house is not stable it moves and what happens cracks follow. He got a great job and price but some are never pleased and he let us know by his comments the guy who flipped this house

The house was built in 1979 in the northeast part of Garland, over the last three decades it had developed foundation problems. Last year I repaired the foundation and plumbing problems. This year in June I contracted with Alvarez Painting Co. to repair the sheetrock. He repaired the cracks, retextured, and painted. I had asked him for walls that looked as good as the ones that you see in a new house model. I got what I asked for and as of a month later I think they look better than some I see in model homes. The wood door had been installed by a different contractor who could not get the color right. Paul's stripped it and restrained it, now it looks much better. The window sill had been practical board that had gotten wet and blotted and was falling apart, Paul replaced it with Poplar which is a much better wood then I had expected.

I read the reviews expecially the bad ones and decided to take a chance. Wow! Was I happy! In my guest bathroom I required the wallpaer to be removed and the walls painted. The 1st painter removed most of the wallpaper and revealed electrical holes left by the builder. He painted the walls without covering the holes or smoothing the walls. I called Mr. Alvarez and explained the situation. He came by looked at the bathroom and gave me a price. He came alone early on Tuesday patched the holes and mudded the walls. Thursday he and another gentleman sanded the walls and painted. The wallls are glorous. They are smooth and uniform in color. I plan on having him come back and do the interior of my house. YEAH!
