Enough good things cannot be said about N. Chasen & Son. Having been homeowners for 44 years, we have seldom run across a more professional company. Their painters are skilled, quiet, and so careful doing our project that we could only find one small paint drip on a glass surface. From our perspective, it just doesn't come any better.

Their response was prompt. A time for an estimate was set and kept promptly. Representative was professional and pleasant. We received an estimate that night. The price was within range of other estimates we received and we decided to hire them. We were given a choice of dates to perform the job. We chose a date in January because of a price discount. Since that date has not come up yet, the work has not yet been done so we can't rate the quality of work.

He was on time, which is about the only thing that went well. He was friendly enough while he was here but his attitude was basically, "I don't know why you'd want to fix this, it's all cosmetic, it's not going to be perfect when we're finished and it's going to crack again." Which I found off-putting but figured maybe he was just talking to me like I was stupid. He promised to have the quote to me the same day and it took nearly a week, several emails and a call in order to get the quote. I shouldn't have to chase down your business for you. When the quote arrived, it was emailed to me by the receptionist with no message other than "Your quote is attached". No - "sorry this is so late", no "we look forward to working with you"... none of the usual good customer service stuff. Again, off-putting. Needless to say the chilly reception I received left me doubting the quality of work they would provide given Jason's attitude when he was in my home. I would not recommend or use them based on my limited experience. Update: The (somewhat combative and lacking in "customer is always right" attitude) reply from the company tells you everything you need to know about working with them.
Description of Work: Jason came out to give me a quote to repair the plaster in a few rooms in my home.

Response from N Chasen & Son Inc
I have not quoted work for this reviewer who lives in Durham, NC. I did quote work for a Removed mbr info. I assume this is her daughter. The work quoted totaled significantly higher than $ 800.00 as noted in the review. The work quoted was for interior plaster repair, not carpentry – woodworking as noted in the review. I met with Removed mbr info, a first time home buyer of an older Richmond house that had plaster walls. I did my best to educate the new homeowner on properties that are inherent in older plaster homes. One idea that the homeowner brought up was to cover the plaster walls with drywall, which is almost never a good idea. I did not provide a quote to do this work. I did quote cosmetic repairs which are in keeping with the area in which the home is located. This was not a straight forward estimate and I did take three days to get her the quote. The email accompanying the quote stated that the estimate was attached for her review, thanked her for the opportunity to quote the work, and provided contact information if she had any questions. I do apologize if the homeowner felt that the information provided made her feel uncomfortable in any way, that was surely not the intent.

Thank you for your review. Apologies for any lack of communication and inconvenience it may have caused. It was a special order door. The order was placed immediately after receiving your signed proposal on 4/28. Once the door was received it was painted in our shop and installed mid-June. We appreciate your business and we strive to provide timely and quality service for all of our customers. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the final product and our service. Please let us know if we can help again in the future.

They were very nice and punctual. The carpenters were excellent but the painters had some issues. One was new and the other was irritated that the new guy was not fast enough. Also, they put some special paint on my front door so that it would not mold, and it molded within a few months. Paid a lot of money and did not feel I got my moneys worth.

We are always disappointed when we don’t earn an “A” rating. This is a job we performed about 1 ½ years ago. This is the first we have heard of the customers issue with the door. We will attempt to contact the customer and will rectify the problem, if allowed. Also, the new (slow) painter on the job was doing what we want. When we train new hires often they try to keep up with our seasoned veterans. In doing so, their work can be sloppy and below our standards. We try to teach quality first…….then speed. This can sometimes frustrate the lead foreman, but it builds a better painter in the long run. In this case, Jason C. was the new man and he has grown to be one of our better brush-hands.

Great. I thought the work was pricey but the quality and professionalism was terrific. Came when they said they would. When first repair was not satisfactory came back with-no argument and did more work until it was right at no charge. Stood behind their work and we're incredibly professional. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

They were actually very good company, they did a really good job. Their professionalism was great, I can even remember the names of the guys who cam, it was Carlos and Felix and they were just great great, they even personalized my fireplace on the spot when I was just asking them to change the colors, they did great, I can't complain. They're here when they say they're gonna be here, the prices were reasonable, and they even offered me a lower price.

They were here 6 days. They helped me choose 2 different colors, one for the ceiling and one for the back of the bookshelves. The work was meticulous. They cleaned up when they left. The price was a little higher than the other estimates I got but they fixed the cracks in the walls and ceilings. Other painters told me I'd have to hire someone else to do that. So, all in all, it was probably as much as it would have been if I had used a less expensive painter and hired a drywall person.
Description of Work: Painted my Great room (walls and trim), Kitchen (walls and trim), Master bath ceiling and bedroom ceiling. The work was absolutely perfect and the painters were VERY pleasant and helpful.

They did a great job. At that time I didn't live here so I couldn't supervise the work and although my husband dropped by a couple of times, we didn't have to come in and remind them a thing. They did a real professional job with no one here.

I'm disappointed. Chasen has such a great reputation. I contacted them for an estimate to paint a two-story living room. I needed two estimates: one for a standard paint job of three remaining walls to match an existing wall, the second was a separate quote for adding a custom design (hand painted words) on one wall. Jerami was very nice, punctual and professional. He seemed hesitant about the custom quote (I understand this is an unusual request). He said I should receive an email quote by Monday, but that if I didn't hear back in a week or so to contact him (which struck me as odd...it's standard procedure for companies to provide a written response without the customer having to remind/follow up). I never heard back on either estimate. I could call them, I just haven't decided if I want to follow up with them or go with another painter I've used before. 10/30/14 Response to company reply: Jeff, thank you for replying. There is definitely some confusion. You say Jeremi called but I have no record of that and was waiting anxiously for a quote. Even if he did and the cost for the special project was high, why did he not provide the basic painting quote I asked for? I never received anything at all. Next time I will follow up with a call myself, though. Thanks, again.

Jerami and I discussed this project right after he met with you. As you stated above, this was an unusual request. He had planned on providing your quote by Monday during the initial job-site visit. According to Jerami, he called you to discuss the cost of the “hand painted words” after the job-site visit. During the conversation Jerami recalls your statement that the “words” were more than you budgeted for the whole job. He left the conversation with the understanding that you were not going to proceed with the project and closed the file without working up a forma l quotation. I apologize for the misunderstanding.
