George and his crew did a fantastic job. He was very responsive re: communicating and he was able to do the job as scheduled. The work quality was great and his price was very reasonable. He found that he had to make an additional repair, which he had told me might be the case, and his price for that was extremely reasonable. I will definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: We had all the exterior trim painted as well as repairs made to window frames. We also had the porch railings painted.

George Hughes advised us that: "For exteriors it is the only product I'm willing to use." This refers to his choice of Sherwin Williams Resilience paint. Yet Consumer Reports rates Resilience last for 2016 due in part to its failure to resist dirt and mildew. We are going to use the No. 1 rated paint with which Mr. Hughes admits to having no experience. Since Mr. Hughes offers no warranty in his proposal, it is strange that he would be wedded to any particular acrylic paint, especially one that tests so poorly.

Excellent job. Crew was skilled and efficient. Still looks great one year later. George gave detailed estimate with references and certificate of liability insurance. Professional job. Estimate was not the cheapest estimate I got, or the most expensive. I was impressed with Mr. Hughes and was glad we used his company. Would use him again.

The entire paint job was extremely professional. George Hughes visited our house twice to be sure of all the details before giving an estimate. His estimate was detailed and accompanied by recommendations and his contractors' license information. The entire team was excellent. All reported punctually as promised, seemed to work well together with each one knowing what his assignments were. Each day George doublechecked the work, at one point having a wall repainted to correct the finish applied. He remedied several things that were beyond the scope of this job, preexisting conditions like a hall door that wouldn't close properly, some paint from a previous job that had flecked on the floor and molding. He was very particular about his team's work and wanted it to be of the highest quality. The work was finished as soon as promised and was excellent. We did not have to have any call-backs. It was a pleasure to have workers who cleaned up carefully at the end of each day and at the completion of the entire job. All in all, we were extremely pleased and would give this group the highest recommendation.
Description of Work: Complete painting, including all doors, ceilings, and trim in 6 rooms. This included baths where shower stall ceilings needed sanding and kitchen where cabinets had to be covered and protected from paint. Painting prep included matching and mixing some paint, spackling all nail holes, etc.

Angie's list emailed me wanting a review. I was not planning on putting one in here, but maybe there is a trend or reason for it so I did submit one. Nice guy. Punctual and informative. Pricing was way off and completely illogical. Three times more than other estimates. Maybe this is why it was asked of me to write one. My square footage is 1768 for my home so it is not a big job, plus I just had new windows and the trim out put in so no windows or doors would have been included or the trim around all of them. I had to fight feeling offended by the offer estimate and professionally told him his pricing was way off. He disagreed and that is fine. Nobody would have signed on for that.

Response from HUGHES PAINTING LLC
The best thing for me to say is I would rather apologize for my price now than the quality of my work later. This was by no means a straight and simple job. The 130 year old clap board lead contaminated siding was pealing excessive. So even though there was no windows 90% of the house was covered in excessively pealing lead contaminated solid pine siding. Because of the lead exposer almost every inch of the house would have to be hand scraped and sanded, no power tools are permitted. The client had complained about what a low quality job she had gotten last time and insisted on a specific prime base she researched from somewhere but we have never used and tinting it to color was not recommended. The house was a traditional barn red color and accent colors like this red take 3 coats to cover over a gray tinted primer. She still wanted the original red so it would mean 1 coat of specialty primer, 1 coat of grey primer and 3 top coats (painting the house 5 times). Did I mention we still need to scrape and sand all of the siding, the 5 coats of paint is the easy part which we also hand brush. I attempted to explain though email the color issue to her and changing that or even the specialty primer would have altered the price some but I got no response. Whenever dealing with these old houses the spectrum of price is going to be from one extreme to the other if you get enough estimates. Pre 1950 homes is our specialty I’ve personally been painting them for close to 30 years now. Some company’s understand the complexity of the process, some don’t or they have no intention of doing it properly to begin with. Some company’s pay their men under the table, don’t carry worker’s comp insurance, don’t pay FICA taxes, or don’t follow lead safety rules. Not all painting companies are equal because we are providing a service, not a product. As far as looking at it as a product a sport coat from Massey’s is going to be 3 to 4 times as much as a sport coat from Wal-Mart, but they are both coats to spite the quality of the material and craftsmanship. I was able to offer the client a free no cost estimate and I’m sorry that she was insulted by this but I would still need to pay for the labor.

They were on time, very professional, very neat and did an excellent job. We have also used them within the last year to paint some other trim on the first floor of our house as well as to paint the exterior of our house. Their prep work is outstanding. I wouldn't use anyone else.
Description of Work: We had them prep, prime and paint walls, trim and ceiling in our son's room. They had to paint over a very colorful mural and with their careful prep and painting, you'd never know it had been there. They also prepped and painted the trim in our kitchen, hallway and powder room.

Unusual request - I'm SLOWLY restoring my long-neglected family home in an historic district The city was coming to evaluate the house for a tax abatement program and I realized the interior had not been painted in at least ten years, however I do not plan to live in the house for several years, so not decorating, etc. So... I asked quotes to prime 4 rooms and an upstairts hallway - no woodwork. The owner, George Hughes had been recommended by an aquaintance - Mr. Hughes is not a particularly personable person, but it was a fair estimate, and they did what they said they would do and cleaned up nicely.

We were a bit surprised at the high price, but it was totally worth it. Their prep work is what makes the real difference. This company is fantastic. The job was so well done that I feel compelled to tell as many people as possible. The employees were professional, talented and very respectful. We have a tough house to paint and they did not cut any corners. They even did some repair work on the front column, porch and back doorway. If you want a quality job done...hire this company.
Description of Work: Painted outside of house. Our house had not been painted for years and has some very high and difficult spots to paint.

I had been dreading the thought of having to paint ALL of our exterior trim (it had been 10 years). Yes, me and my husband COULD do it, but I would much rather have had professionals up on those ladders! I am so glad I found Mr Hughes and his team. Within 2 days they completed all the work and done all the clean up. Mr Hughes even came back and did some touch ups upon my request. He wanted to make sure I was satisfied and I certainly was. Thank you Mr Hughes!!!
Description of Work: We had all of the exterior trim painted on our house (including double porch railings and columns). We also had Mr Hughes's team stain the front and back porch floors.

Mr Hughes paid attention to detail from the very start. He used binocculars to better estimate the repairs that I would need done on the house. He kept me informed about start times and any unforseen repairs as the job progressed. His foreman and crew where hardworking, courteous and kept the job site very neat and tidy. Mr. Hughes was on the job every day overseeing the work being done. He was also very accomodating when I had another contractor replace some windows while his crew was working. I feel confident that the job was done well from start to finish!
Description of Work: Mr. Hughes had the house powerwashed, repaired rotten siding, windows, trim etc. He caulked, sanded and primed any bare areas or new siding. The entire exterior of the house was painted. In addition he fixed improperly installed flashing where the deck was attached to the house. Mr. Hughes replaced surface deck boards, top boards on the deck railings and the steps,

Overall I am very satisfied with Mr. Hughes' company and the workers.
Description of Work: He replaced cedar sidings that were rotten, restained the new boards plus stained the exterior, porches, decks, railings, steps, trimmed around the windows. His company was very patient with me and all my questions and concerns. Mr. Hughes has a team leader and he introduced the team members to me who were working on my home. They kept the yard clean and started working in a timely manner. The weather did hold them back from the anticipated date of completion but I was kept informed daily of their work schedule. I definitely would call them again for other painting/staining jobs.

I obtained several estimates, all Angie's List professionals with excellent reputations. (I got burned pretty bad on my last paint job and learned the hard way.) I was impressed from the moment I met Mr. Hughes. He arrived on time and was professional, courteous and knowledgable. He did not rush me as I took him around my house pointing out numerous concerns. I asked many questions and he patiently answered them all including concerns I had about the crew. I wanted to know about what kind of people would be in and around my house. I was very pleased to learn that he cares about his employees and demands excellence from them. Everyone from the power washers to the painting crew were just wonderful to work with. I did not have a moment's worry about having them in and around my home. All of them arrived promptly each morning, ready to work. Mr. Hughes was on site each morning and made regular rounds with the foreman, Mayo, pointing out what needed to be done and inspecting the work that had been done. I knew what to expect every day and was kept well informed of their progress by both Mr. Hughes and Mayo, the foreman. As for the crew, all I can say is they worked beautifully together. Everyone was polite and professional and took directions well. There was never any coarse language, loud music or goofing off. I was most impressed with this crew. They spent days scraping, sanding, deglossing, replacing siding and caulking. Every evening they cleaned up and stacked ladders neatly out of our way. They painted, in tandem, three at a time, keeping the paint wet on wet. All of the horrible old paint job is completely covered and both my husband and I are very pleased with the end result. When the time comes, we will be calling George Hughes Painting LLC again, without a doubt.
Description of Work: George Hughes responded promptly to my request for an estimate to paint the exterior of my home. He arrrived promptly and was very courteous and professional. He did not rush me as I pointed out several, serious concerns. He made me feel cofident he could get our home looking great again. He answered all of my questions and sent me an estimate in a timely manner. He provided me with an impressive list of references and I called three. All his references were extremely pleased and many had hired him for additional work. My house was power washed, thoroughly prepped and repaired and painted by Hughes Painting LLC.

We had tried to stain our own deck a couple of years ago and really made a mess of it appartently because it was peeling off and blotchy the very next year. We knew it was a good idea to hire a professional for the job. We chose George Hughes from Angie's list and called him for an estimate. He was very professional throughout the entire time. He showed up when he said he would, or if not, he would communicate the reasons why. (weather, etc). All in all, he did a superior job on this deck, which by the why is huge. The finish has never looked as good as it does now. Its just a beautiful job.
Description of Work: We had the deck cleaned, stripped and re-stained. This required removing old stain that was improperly applied, protecting surrounding plants, which there are many in the work area.

Over the 25 years we have owned this house, this is the first time my house was painted correctly! All of the carpentry work that needed to be accomplished before the painting began was done, and done well. The prep work that was conducted before the actual painting was unbelievable. This house has never been as well prepared before painting as when George's crew did it. I have three metal doors on the outside, and even they were prepped! The painting of the windows and trim was done in a very detailed manner. The siding was brushed and looks beautiful. They also painted my deck, putting two coats of brown on the floor and steps, and two coats of the siding color on the pickets and rail. George's crew was always on time, and very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to have a quality paint job done on their house.
Description of Work: We had the house and trim painted one coat and two coats on our deck. This included replacing some siding boards, trim boards and any other carpentry issues found. Spot prep was completed on the siding, trim, and metal doors.

George is very meticulous & professional. Has done excellent work previously on interior. George contacted us right away, provided written estimate & set start date. He & crew completed the work in a very professional manner with an eye for detail & going the extra step. He even repainted by mailbox post so it would match exactly with the new trim paint. Very good & fair to work with. He cares about doing the job right. We can highly recommend him.

Earliest they could come out for an estimate was about a week away. By that time, I had gotten another estimate and the job was underway. This is in no way a criticism of the company. Everything written about Hughes LLC looks good -- that's why they were on my short list.

at the prep work and perfectionism from this group are worth more than the average painter. Every surface and even edging at ceilings look like new walls. I cannot recommend this company more highly.
Description of Work: I have an old house with plaster walls. in a large area there was 3-4 layers of wallpaper. Mr Hughes and his excellent workman removed all wallpaper, patched old cracks, meticulously prepped the walls and painted to perfection. When compared to other painting I have had done the finished walls are incredible. They were on time, cooperative and cleaned up to perfection. They were very concerned with our comfort and pets and a delight to deal with. Mr Hughes was great about organizing and instructing his crew, he also did extensive followup to insure a quality result.
