Description of Work: Found these guys on Angie's List and hired them to paint my kitchen. I was so impressed with the excellent job that I hired them again when I needed paint touch up to sell my condo. They exceeded my expectations when they made repairs, improved the color matches, and left the place sparkling. I can't say enough good things about Living Colors and would hire them for any paint job.

Everything went quickly and efficiently. The crews came in and did their work. Everyone was professional, cleaned up the areas when they were finished. Matt was extremely responsive, very helpful--including helping to pick out tiles, materials---then taking everything to the site. After the job was completed he quickly responded to a minor alternation that needed to be made. I would recommend him without out question for any remodeling jobs!!!!
Description of Work: Matt did all the necessary repair and remodeling to prepare my house to go on the market. They completely re-did the kitchen, 2 1/2 baths, re-finished all hard wood floors, painted all interior walls, ceilings, trim, etc--made any repairs necessary.

Matt is my favorite contractor for many reasons. He makes us feel like we are his only customers although he is a VERY busy man. He is always responsive to calls/emails and he does little extras that sends a clear message that he truly values his customers' business (the hallway looks great Matt). Matt's work is always top notch and he pays attention to the smallest details. The end results are always beautiful. Do not hesitate to call him for any work that you need around the house. Matt is a true professional.

Mat came for the estimate, he was very knowledgeable and since we were very short with the time he put us on his schedule without any problem. His crew did the excellent job, they finished everything in three days. They showed up every morning at the same time, they were very professional and efficient. We are planning to use them again this summer for our master bathroom renovation. Mat was very helpful with this and he gave us some ideas. I would recommend My Living Colors for any house work.
Description of Work: When we moved to our new house I got Mat's phone number from our new neighbor. We called him up for exterior painting, the deck powerwash and stain, garage painting and installation of all light fixtures.

The owner, Matt, was really responsive to my concerns and thoroughly explained what he was going to do. The crew was always on time, were really personable and friendly and did a really good job. Some of the windows were painted shut and I called Matt, he personally came out on the weekend and opened them for me.
Description of Work: My Living Colors tore down our old porch and built us a new one. They also put down hardwood flooring, interior and exterior painting.

I found Matt very easy to work with. He responded quickly to my emails. He even appeared at my house in 20 minutes when I had a plumbing leak. The workers that Matt uses are very competent and pleasant to have in the house. While the house was listed and I was out of town, Matt worked with the realtor to satisfy the potential buyer after the house was inspected. The house sold in two weeks in a buyers market. I am very glad that I had Matt to work with.
Description of Work: I was selling my house, so hired Matt of My Living Colors to prepare the house to sell. He painted inside and out, remodeled two bathrooms, created a closet, removed carpet and refinished floors and recarpeted others. He fixed everything that was broken from plumbing to electrical circuits to garage door.

Matt and his crew are outstanding! The quality of his work is of the highest standard. He never just slaps something together to get your money. He takes his time and does quality work - just as if he were working in his own home. Matt's suggestions are always right on target! When he makes a suggestion about design or material, I usually end up going with it. Working with him is a fantastic experience every time. Thank you Matt. We really appreciate your quality work and professionalism. We look forward to working with you on the kitchen!
Description of Work: Matt installed 6 recessed lights in our living room and installed our new dining room light fixture. He also repaired nail pops in our ceiling to a smooth finish.

I contacted Matt to help me with a foreclosure I bought for my son's family. From painting, adding a cabinet, redoing the baths, tiling the kitchen, replacing plumbing, and replacing a worn out deck, he's been outstanding. I'm impressed every time.
Description of Work: Matt did a phenomenal job for me previously, and I had him do some additional work in an investment house I have in N.VA. The transformation on kitchen and bath was eye-popping, and his attention to detail was outstanding. I will definitely keep using his services in the future.

Overall, this experience has been pleasant, as were the times before. We had some HOA violations that had to do with our home and after receiving the free estimate from Matt, all of them were taken care of by him and his crew. I highly recommend My Living Colors for any handyman or paint jobs in your home. They take care of everything very professionally!
Description of Work: I recently had the exterior of my house painted, which I moved into about a year ago. We hired My Living Colors, as we were very pleased with their work with the interior of the house earlier last year. We called Matt at My Living Colors to provide us with an estimate and within the following week the crew started painting the exterior of the house. Now, the outside of the house looks very clean, polished, and brand new. They were very professional; they made sure all the garbage was taken care of and the no mess was left behind.

Matt responded immediately to my inquiry, I checked out the references on Angie's List, and he did a beautiful job painting, adding kitchen cabinets, removing excess wiring, putting in a new deck, and installing new fixtures in the kitchen and 3 baths. I am really impressed with his work, his punctuality, and his breadth of skills. During the new bath floor installation (by others) I asked him to come over immediately to fix an issue with removing the toilet for the flooring people, and he came quickly to deal with it. We're not done with the house yet, but I'm really pleased with the job so far. He responds quickly to my phone calls, is meticulous in each job, never leaving a mess when he's ready to leave for the day. I will definitely use him in the future, and I've recommended him to my realtor, who would like to use him also. I might add that I was not in a rush, but he was willing work with any schedule I had.
Description of Work: I was fixing up a foreclosure I just settled on, and I got estimates for total interior painting and trim work, carpentry, plumbing, and minor electrical, for just over $8000 (pretty good price considering how much had to be done). I needed to install all new kitchen fixtures and disposal, disconnect an old ice maker, add a bottom cabinet, and hook up a new dishwasher. The deck needed replacement boards and new handrails. Downstairs I needed to cut a new access door for the furnace room, fabricate an odd size door, install french doors in the den, install all new bath fixtures including new bi-fold shower doors. The upstairs needed all new bath fixtures in the hall and master bath. The whole house interior was painted, including semi-gloss for all trim and doors.

Working with Matt and his crew was such a pleasure. Not only is Matt a genuinely nice person, but he was also very quick to return my call for an estimate and was very reasonably priced. This was in stark contrast to all the others I had contacted about the job. Once the weeks of seemingly never ending rain stopped and they could get to work, Matt and his team completed the project in a timely manner. I found it quite refreshing to see Matt standing on my roof himself removing rotten wood! It seems to be a rarity when the owner of a company actually works on a project. It shows just how much he cares about the work they do. Matt was very flexible, and agreed to do additional jobs at the last minute, including securing the gutters and installing a new sliding glass door. The icing on the cake was when he and his guys hung a gate we had difficulty hanging ourselves. I showed him our gate, and within seconds, heard a lot of buzzing and hammering outside. Before I knew it, they had made modifications to the door, had it hung, and in perfect working order! Hooray for clever carpenters! The paint job looks terrific, and we are thrilled about our new doors and working gutters! What a great team. They were all very professional. I would not hesitate to call Matt for any future projects we may have, and would most definitely recommend him for your home too.
Description of Work: Replaced rotten wood rakes and trim, painted exterior trim and door, replaced a sliding glass door, hung a gate, secured gutters, and caulked all windows and doors.

The entire experience was not just A but A+. I have never seen such meticulous attention to detail in a paint job. It is just beautiful. Matt is an absolute pleasure to do business with because of his professionalism and warm, friendly personality. Just as important is his quality of work which I could not find a single thing to complain about. Matt gave helpful suggestions such as guiding us towards getting the higher grade door hanging hardware. He mentioned that the plastic cheaper tracks tend to bend after some use with the bifold doors. We have the higher quality track and it works smoothly. We are very happy and I just emailed Matt about coming back soon.
Description of Work: Matt and his team replaced an old baseboard heater, replaced old baseboard trim, installed new bifold doors on closet, and painted the entire bedroom and ceiling.

Matt showed up to give us an estimate on a variety of jobs. He was professional and asked lots of questions to make sure he understood exactly what we wanted. He timed his visits for when it was most convenient for us. On a bright, sunny day he came over to try and fix the skylight. He did a lot of research to try to find the origin of the leak and caulked around it. Unfortunately, it didn't work the first time, but Matt came back again to try another fix and this time it worked. He and his crew showed up on a Monday to start the painting job. They made sure all the furniture was covered, moved anything that needed moving and cleaned up every day. The painting was finished in about 2 to 3 days. When I mentioned I needed another electrical outlet and was about to call an electrician, Matt offered to do it while he was there. He was polite and cared a lot about the quality of his work. I was very pleased with all the work his company did and will use them again in the future.

This company is a find!!!! Mat showed up the next day to give me an estimate. His estimate was detailed and accurate. His price was good. They showed up at exactly 8am monday Nov.1 and started immediately. His crew was professional and happy. They came in, did their work and cleaned up. Mat also does handyman work so I started asking him to do various fixes for me. He was amazing. He replaced my bathroom fan, lights, hung valances. Anything extra I asked of him he just did with a smile. At the end of 2 days, they transformed my house. They left it cleaner than when they arrived and the final bill was incredibly reasonable considering all the extras he did for me. I recommend them completely and will absolutely use them again-often!!!!!

Total experience was stellar. My condo is in a very old building, and plans had to be adjusted & revised on the fly as we removed drywall & found various surprises. Conditions were cramped, and Association rules had to be followed. Also, I would change my mind or add features as we went along, and Matt would carefully consider and discuss and suggest. He and his crew were competent, cool, and professional always, and have my highest recommendation.

I have been using Matt for over 3 years. When I moved into a new home last July, it required painting several rooms,installing light fixtures, and hanging a plasma tv. I continue to use the company for small painting projects, odd jobs and miscellaneous items that have come up.He is extremely dependable, trustworthy, and has a great attention to detail. He and his crew are always pleasant to work with, and I never hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family. His prices are very reasonable and I hold him and his services in the highest regard.

The project went extremely well and was completed in less than 10 days. Matt, assisted us in making decisions and shopping for everything. We were kept informed at all times as the project progressed. The contractors worked 6-day weeks and 9 hours per day. They were reliable, trustworthy and polite, and did excellent work. The flooring in the house was covered with cardboard to protect it during the project, and plastic sheeting was hung to minimize dust. In addition, the contractors cleaned every day before they left. We highly recommend My Living Colors and certainly will use them again for any future remodeling projects. We are extremely pleased with our new bathrooms. Great work.

I contacted several contractors and received estimates. One of the main reasons I decided to choose My Living Colors was because it is locally owned. Matt is knowledegable in his work and has a vast areas of expertise. Matt was very prompt and provided us with a detailed estimate of cost for labor and a timeframe for the work that needed to get done. He was always flexible with our work schedule which made it very convenient to work with him. Our family was very comfortable having his team work at our house.
Description of Work: I recently bought a townhome in fair condition, however, it was in need of some renovations. We needed to get the whole interior of the house re-painted as well as the trims on the exterior of our house. Along with the paint job we also renovated our master bathroom and guest bathroom that included installing new fixtures and placing new tile flooring. A friend of ours referred Matt and his team to give us an estimate for the work that we needed in our home. After seeing the work that he had done in our friend's home, we decided to give him a call and receive a written estimate. I have also gotten minor handymen services from Matt such as mounting of my plasma TVs onto the wall and he installed two crystal chandeliers; one in the foyer and one in the dining room.
