A.P.E. begins by being loyal to our customers by performing the work exactly as we perform it on our own homes. We take the time to listen to our customers’ needs and wants. We further completely follow through with all of the work we have stipulated in the estimate. No cutting corners, no surface work. Most of the time we don’t even require a down payment or deposit. We get paid when you are fully satisfied with our work. Isn’t that the way it should be?
Guy Cavagna responded quickly to a phone call for an estimate. He provided detailed description of what would be done. We had selected a darker color than the original color in the estimate so it was more expensive than the original quote. He did not give us the cheapest bid, but his attention to detail, work ethic and protecting the plants around the house was amazing. He also gave us good advice on refinishing our garage door and cedar deck railing. We were very impressed with the crew and the results. We will use them for future interior projects.
Description of Work: The house was pressure washed, scraped, caulked, a coat of primer and 2 coats of paint were applied with backrolling on T-4 siding that is 34 years old and had not been painted for 15 years.

Guy (the owner) and his entire crew have a great work ethic. Every single thing that has been done on this house was done to PERFECTION. He has incredible attention to detail, always smiling and happy to help move something, or put something back. There are very few craftsmen out there who work with the pride and satisfaction of seeing the job done beautifully. Come by and see our house, or use us for references ANY TIME..
Description of Work: The painting crew pressure washed the entire house, primed the entire house, then spent a couple of days just caulking and scraping and getting ready for the final paint. They painted the body and it is beautiful. There were three trim colors and they were lovely as well. We have been more than thrilled at the look of the job.

The A.P.E painting crew were punctual, professional, and courteous. We were very happy with the price and quality of work we received. I highly recommend them. They went above and beyond to make us happy. As an ex-painter myself I was highly satisfied with their work and even picked up a couple of helpful tips. They are very knowledgeable about their craft. Two thumbs up!!!

I had received several quotes for painting our home from painters that I selected via Angie's list. Guy, the owner of A.P.E Painting, quickly responded to my request for a quote. Several other painters took weeks to respond.. Guy's quote was competitive and he detailed out all of the work he would perform. Once I selected APE for the job I was pace on their schedule. Within a couple of weeks they first scheduled a day to pressure wash the entire home. Then over the next two weeks (we had several rain delays) the APE team caulked, primed the repainted my house. The results look great, Guy and his team are professional and easy to work with. They were very good about communicating. If I ever need to hire a painter again I will use them.

Guy did a fantastic job. He came over on Tuesday, gave me his quote and was at my house 8 am sharp 2 days later with 2 other painters. They did a perfect job. My walls look brand new! Our ceilings are 18 feet high, so this is a job that we did not want to attempt. Gus is very friendly and gives you extra pointers on home improvements and he even helped get on my roof and put moss removal on it! Great service! Highly recommend. I will be calling him in the future for more work!

Description of Work: Painted the exterior of our older and deteriorated 50 year old house, (includingi necessary repairs to many shingles and some rotted wood). Work was done to a very very high standard , with useful and careful consultations with us and a very pleasant and cordial relationship with the owner and the crew. We would certainly use this company again for any future paint jobs.

Guy is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and always professional. Both my husband and I liked him immediately when he came to give the estimate. The crew was timely and cleaned up after themselves. When I pointed out a couple minor things that needed attention, Guy took care of them himself. We will definitely hire him again for other painting needs.
Description of Work: We needed the roof cleaned and lightly power washed, as well as removing the moss and moss treatment. He and his two employees were very professional, showing up at the time set and cleaning up after themselves very well. We also had some exterior staining on our shingle accent areas on the exterior of our house and some trim color also needed some touch up work. And we had our basement rec room repainted a new color as well as 3 doors in the same room also needed a new coat of paint. They moved all the furniture and numerous books from the wall bookshelf prior to painting.

He was always on time, very early in the morning. One day he got rained out and he went home, but as soon as the sun came out, he was right back out here! The prices were the lowest and incredibly fair. He goes above and beyond your expectations. He knows what he's doing and he knows the paint. The workmanship is great and people have even complimented the paint job! He was a fabulous person and a very hard worker. I would recommend him to anybody!

Guy provided an estimate for the work and once we were ready to proceed we called to schedule the job. They showed up on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and the finished job looks amazing. We have bull nose corners and a vaulted ceiling and Guy took the time to make sure we were happy with the line where the wall rolls into the vaulted ceiling. He did a very good job touching up everything and the tape lines around the mill work look fabulous.

Guy is very personable and definitely a people person. He and his helper were able to find a day in late October when the weather cooperated. They worked fast and efficiently and the results look great. Our only criticism is in regard to cleanup. There are remnants of the old scraped paint and new coats all along the side of our home and in our driveway. They did not put back the items they had parted from the side of the house. They left some of their wipe cloths. Other than that, all was very good!

I'm sorry if we left any remnant of our activity on your project. I was thinking it was the contractor who did repair work on the side door were the cans are located that might have not replaced the cans and probably the chips could have been when he was doing repairs. We do aim to make sure you are satisfied 100% and quality is of the utmost with no spare to cost or time on our part. Although we received a B on quality it encourages us to strive that much harder to make sure that doesn't happen again. We appreciate your business and thank you for the referral. Guy.

Our house was in poor shape, plus we have T 111 siding which is not easy to paint. They didn't just paint it for us, they prepared it, washing it and doing a complete base coating, then the paint. But kept adding paint until it didn't need it any more. We got a senior discount plus a 30 year warranty on labor and materials.
Description of Work: Guy is a straight forward guy and explains what is needed and why and what they plan to do to address the issues. He was responsive, on time, available when I called and all around "there for us". I mostly liked it that he explained everything. And they cleaned up totally after themselves.

Guy is the best communicator I’ve seen in a long time. Enthusiastic, professional, and a great listener. Also a great observer offering seemingly valuable strategic insight we took. He claims he has personally developed some impressive, time-tested painting techniques for endurance in our demanding climate. Creative problem-solving that convinced us to try! August 28 he and his partner spent an efficient day doing exterior trim on our house, with full unique prep coating. Immediate results and cleanup were super. This was a simpler job (on high ladders) in optimal weather, but I’d call A.P.E. in a heartbeat for any related work. Exceptional yield from a truly approachable, pleasant optimist. How refreshing. Thanks Guy!
Description of Work: Exterior trim painting of 2-story residence. Prep coat, calking windows, double coats on dark trim. Most detail was in front; no work in back. Very high trim on tall ladder on both sides. Garage and man door frames. FOUR COLORS, 3 of which Guy matched for fresh gallons using remaining paint samples of obsolete brand, Matching for new 25-year quality paint went well.

Don't know how to comment on this since it was the first time I had ever done this. He was very leery of having to work over the top of lead-based paint--perhaps rightly so.
Description of Work: Did not receive any contact after the initial "walk through" although he did leave an estimate on the day that he viewed the house. Was confused as to whether or not he was contacting me again or whether I was to call him back. His estimate did seem a bit high.

The company owner was very friendly and professional. They had a difficult challenge preparing our house for painting because of some peeling issues and moisture problems. Fortunately the weather cooperated and the job moved along well. The prep work was done with great care and therefore the paint job looks great. I would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: A.P.E. Painting prepared our house for painting including pressure washing and scraping. It was a big and difficult job. They used a primer that helped with the climate issues challenging the life of our cedar siding. Then they proceeded to paint and completed the job in a reasonable amount of time considering the difficulty of the prep work.

I am quite pleased with the exterior painting that Guy and his workers did on our house. They were punctual, thorough and complete from their masking to their clean-up. They accidentally broke an exterior light fixture which I didn't know about. Guy mentioned it right away and bought a replacement which was better than the original. They completed the job in three days. I did a walk-around after completion and found nothing that needed redoing. The warranty that Guy gave on the job is superb with 10 yr labor and 30 year product. This is one of the reasons along with Guy's cheerful and optimistic personality that we went with A.P.E. Great job all around!

I contacted Guy by phone and explained the problem with our front door and side panels. The door is an expensive door with leaded glass panels. I was told at the paint store that the door would have to be stripped to remove the varnish and the latex paint that was over the varnish. Guy was informative over the phone and was willing to evaluate the problem and see if another alternative to stripping was possible. He came promptly to our house at the agreed time and offered a solution to a difficult problem. The previous paint job was done poorly with heavy visible brush stokes and was peeling. I subsequently scheduled Guy to paint the door and he came at the scheduled day right on time. He completed the door and panels with a superb result considering the condition of the door. I only wish I had been able to use Guy's services when we built our house. I highly recommend Guy for all your painting needs.

Guy is the owner of A.P.E. Painting and he was also working on the job the entire time. He was prompt in providing an estimate for the job. He went over all details and options and we did a walk around so we totally understood the scope of the proposal. Within three weeks (as promised) they powerwashed the house and then two weeks later, scraping, priming and painting began. Guy and Jack (both with extensive painting experience) worked super well together with a fantastic teamwork approach. They were extremely easy to talk to and always portrayed a "service the customer and make it right " attitude. They worked hard for four and one half straight days to completion and were meticulus in their work. No profanity, no arguments---very refreshing these days!! We couldn't have been happier with their work from start to finish and the outcome was fantastic.. If you want a professional job at a competitive price, I highly recommend A.P.E Painting.
Description of Work: A.P.E. Painting prepared and painted the exterior of our house using three different colors and methods: house (sprayed), gutters (rolled) and trim (hand brushed). Every aspect of the job, including pressure washing, masking off, surface preparation, covering shrubs/concrete, painting and clean up was done to perfection.

After getting several estimates, we chose Guy and his company, A.P.E. Painting, to give our house a "face lift." He pointed out some problem areas and told us how he would deal with them. His crew first did a thorough pressure-washing and when the weather improved, the scraping began. For some reason, the south-facing side was more difficult to scrape. We have a two-story house with dormer windows, so there were more areas to deal with than usual. Guy was able to correct mistakes made on previous paint jobs too. Since we have cedar siding, an oil-based primer was essential, but a latex type had been used before. We had to have some structural repairs done during this whole process, but Guy was able to work around that area. The windows, doors and brick trim were all masked properly before any painting began. Tarps were stretched all around the base of the house and walkways for more protection. All of the windows, doors and trim were caulked and when the paint was applied, they used a sprayer and rollers too, to ensure a good covering. The trim was all applied by brush and all of the debris was collected and carted away. We are so happy with the job done by A.P.E. Painting! Guy was great to deal with and he was here every day, on the job with his crew. It wasn't easy, and involved lots of ladders and climbing on our steep roof! He even got some special paint to cover a balcony floor that needed painting. And we are very pleased with his choice of satin-finish paint for our home. It absolutely gleams! We would definitely recommend their services.
