home remodeling
  + -1 more
Going into our retirement years we had two choices. Move to a new area and home that would be mostly maintenance free and designed for people with physical disabilities. The alternative was to remodel and upgrade our present home to be as maintenance free and safe as possible. We decided to remain in our present home and hire a contractor to remodel and upgrade the home. We talked with several home remodeling contractors and the decision to hire Andrew Jones dba University Painters turned out to be probably the worse decision ever. Over $50k was pulled from retirement policies which included close to $20k for remodeling and upgrading the master and 2nd floor bathrooms and installing a tile mosaic backsplash in the kitchen. There are issues with the interior painting work done throughout the home, but the biggest issue is with the installation of the tile. After a few months we began noticing cracks in the grout tile floors and shower walls which continued to become worse with each month. Within about 6 months entire pieces of tile from the bathroom floors could easily be removed. Additionally there have been water leaks from the 2nd floor bathroom showers damaging the ceilings on the lower floor. The labor cost alone from a different contractor who specializes in installing tile is approximately $2,600.00 plus the cost of materials to replace the tile floors in the bathrooms and resolve the grout issues in the showers. Attempts to resolve the issues through Andrew Jones and his subcontractor’s dba University Painters has been completely unsuccessful.
Description of Work: Complete home remodel.

The crew arrived on time and got straight to work. They prepared the area with drop clothes, filled all the holes, repaired the drywall areas, caulked the seams and moulding and did a very good job on all. Then they painted the entire basement, walls and ceilings. We could not be happier with the results, and we would hire them again in the future.

It was fine. I used them a couple of times. It was excellent! A lot of painters I had to have come back and touch up thing because maybe they missed a spot. I never had that with them. They were very good a following through with little details. They made sure everything was proper the first time. I never had to call them back.

The lady that made the estimate was very good, but the people that came out I was not as happy with. They over sprayed a little bit and got it on my concrete. They had to scrub that off the concrete and didn't get it off the brick. My advice would be to get other estimates because you will find somebody that can do just as good as a job for $200 cheaper.

Did not show up or contact me regarding an interior painting estimate.
Description of Work: I called and spoke to Andrew to schedule an interior painting estimate. He told me that Richard would call me, which he did. An appointment was mutually agreed to for January 24th, 2017 at 5PM. Richard was a no show! No call, no nothing - VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!

Response from University Painters
I was out of town when [Member Name Removed] called my company and I forwarded all the information to my associate, Richard, which was discussed with [Member Name Removed]. However, Richard never received [Member Name Removed]'s information which I did not know about until reading this review. I immediately called Richard to see what happened as this is extremely rare. I then called [Member Name Removed] multiple times and left 2 voicemails apologizing for what happened. I gave him a short explanation and asked him to please call me back. I have not heard back. We take great pride in showing up on time, always calling clients if running behind, and sending estimates to clients quickly. This is what the company represents and this review is not a representation of what we do on a day-to-day basis. Just to clarify - [Member Name Removed] is claiming that Richard called him - that did not happen.

Work was very sloppy. There work is crap, average homeowner can do better work than they do. Do not waste your money I cannot stress enough how sloppy the work was: drips, roller marks, un-sanded drywall patching, lack of straight edges because work was free hand, lots of areas lacked proper paint coverage. Work was poor and quality was poor. AVOID!

The painter was meticulous, careful and cleaned up each day. Painted the deck in 100 degree weather. Only had one problem-- they didn't paint a very visible area of the outside of the deck, the end of several boards which looked awful. After I complained the lead painter spoke with his supervisor and agreed to paint the boards-- and did a great job.

From the estimate to final touch ups, working with Andrew and his team was a true pleasure! Andrew is professional, respectful, and communicative. I am so impressed with the whole process. They got the job done right on time and on budget. I will absolutely work with University Painters in the future, and have already recommended them to my friends and family.

Andrew helped me pick a color for both painting and carpet. I was trying to get the condo ready to sell, and we discussed all the details about what would be painted, and timing since I had to get this on the market quickly. Andrew was very accommodating. I left Andrew the key and when I returned at the end of the 4 day period, all the walls were painted including inside the closets, the base boards were painted a contrasting color, and the carpet was laid. All looked very professional. There were a couple of marks on the wall that the carpet layers made, and Andrew had the painters come back and do touch up work. As a result of his work and his willingness to work quickly, I was able to get the condo in the hands of the realtor sooner than I expected.

1. The team did a great job. I will use them again and recommend them to others. 2. They power washed a 2 level deck (2 level) and stained it. They also power washed the house. No collateral mess and the job looked great. 3. They then painted our house trim and shutters. They fixed all the exterior items that were irking me. They also found and replaced rotten wood that I had not noticed for a reasonable increase in cost. 4. For those items that did not turn out right the first time they came back in a timely fashion and fixed them.

Everything went very well. They also painted my old kitchen cabinets, installed new lights in bathrooms and refinished my wood kitchen floor, and installed a new stainless steel kitchen sink and faucet.. They were finished in 3 weeks. Everyone was very polite, skilled and helpful. I am really pleased with the results.
