Billy's Painting Home Improvements

Billy's Painting was recommended to us by a co-worker. He finished their basement and performed other services for them. So we contacted him and attempted to have him finish our basement and perform some other services. We were contemplating both having him do all the work and then giving him pieces of the work. He kept insisting he wanted the entire job. In the beginning he was punctual and provided information as requested. But within just two interactions, he stopped following up. He never provided requested information and didn't have the decency to tell us he was interested in our work.

Billy was doing work in the neighborhood, and I asked for an estimate to repaint the front of a townhouse (with large wooden sections and a garage door). He beat other contractors by over $150, and was able to do the work the next day. Fantastic attention to detail, and they knew what they were doing. He noticed a gap in an area that he was not painting and fixed it free of charge. He also replaced rotted wood trim. When I hesitated and told him that I was getting other contractor bids, the price dropped to $550. It was probably dumb luck--he had a hole in his schedule. I supplied the paint and primers ($75).
