SASHA'S PAINTING SERVICE

Very helpful and did good work. There was a delay on part of the project but that was more than balanced by the quick work in fitting in some necessary stucco repair.

Sasha was very punctual for appointments. He checked the work of his crew on a daily basis. Sasha takes great pride in his work and crew. I would recommend him to anyone needing painting services.

Overall workmanship was good. Took 2x as long as proposed. His unwillingness to deal with my wife was disturbing, he needs to lighten up with women.

WE SIGNED A CONTRACT IN MAY AND PAID 1/3 DOWN WHICH WAS $1400. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO START THE WORK IN JULY. WE CALLED IN END OF JULY AND HIS WIFE SAID HE WOULD CALL US BACK BUT DIDN'T, I CALLED AGAIN IN AUGUST. AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER WE FINALLY CALLED TALKED AND ASKED HIS WIFE FOR HIS CELL PHONE NUMBER. HE FINALLY CAME OUT. THEY START DOING THE VULKEM CAULKING AND IT LOOKS ATROCIOUS. IT IS AMATEUR WORK. ON THE CEDAR BOARDS THEY USED THIS PUTTY AND MADE A HUGE MESS OF IT, CAUSING SHINY AREAS ON THE DARK BROWN (THESE WERE NEW BOARDS). OUR BUILDER EVEN SHOWED HIM HOW TO DO THE CAULKING. SASHA STARTED YELLING AT THE BUILDER. HE WAS HERE IN THE MORNINGS WITH THE WORKERS AND HE LEFT EVEN AFTER HE PROMISED THAT HE WOULD BE HERE. THE WORKERS ARE CONTINUING TO MAKE ERRORS. THEY ARE MAKING SLOPS OF PAINT ALL OVER. HE HAS CAUSED DAMAGE AND I HAD TO HIRED SOMEONE ELSE TO FIX THE MESS HE HAS MADE. THE OTHER CONTRACTOR I HAVE HIRED CAN'T BELIEVE THE MESS THAT WAS MADE.

THE CREW DAMAGED ALUMINUM FLASHING ON WINDOWS REQUIRING ME TO ARRANGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DAMAGED PIECES. DURING THE JOB, WE HAD TO CONSTANTLY POINT OUT MISSED AREAS AND ASK FOR CORRECTION. WE ASKED TO HAVE THE DOOR COLOR CHANGED, WHICH WAS AGREED WITH NO MENTION OF ADDITIONAL CHARGES AT THE TIME OF THE REQUEST. AN EXTRA FEE FOR A SECOND COAT, DUE TO THE COLOR CHANGE, EVEN THOUGH THE CONTRACT NEVER SAID "SAME COLORS" ONLY. WE SUCCESSFULLY NEGOTIATED A MUCH LOWER FEE THAT WE CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL COAT. SASHA WAS VERY UPSET WITH THE CREW FOR THE POOR WORKMANSHIP. WHILE SASHA SHOWED GENUINE CONCERN FOR THE DAMAGES AND WE SUCCESSFULLY NEGOTIATED AN AGREEMENT TO PAY FOR THEM, THE FACT THEY OCCURRED FROM AN ANGIE'S LIST SERVICE AWARD WINNER IS DISHEARTENING.

SASHA'S PAINTING DID A VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THOROUGH JOB.

IT WAS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH SASHA AND HIS CREWS. SASHA CARES DEEPLY ABOUT THE WORK PERFORMED AND THAT HIS CUSTOMERS ARE SATISFIED.

I HAVE CALLED REPEATEDLY. EACH TIME HIS WIFE SAYS HE IS NOT AVAILABLE AND WILL CALL ME, BUT HE NEVER DOES. HE FINALLY CALLED BACK AFTER I ASKED FOR THE MONEY REFUNDED. HE PROMISED TO BEGIN THE WORK 8/15. HE HAS NOT YET BEGUN.

VERY GOOD. THE CREW APPEARED TO BE VERY THOROUGH, QUIET, WORKED QUICKLY AND CLEANED UP WELL EACH DAY. SASHA WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MEETING OR EXCEEDING MY EXPECTATIONS. THE PAINTING WAS COMPLETED LATER THAN I HAD ANTICIPATED AND HE MADE SURE THE WORK WAS WELL DONE. Update: July 2011 - A couple of years after the initial painting, I had to have the painters back to redo some of their previous work. That redo is already peeling. I'm very disappointed how quickly the paint peeled. I now have the areas they painted covered in aluminum.

ONCE STARTED, THE WORK PROGRESSED QUICKLY AND WELL. ANY SMALL PROBLEMS FOUND WERE QUICKLY CORRECTED.

BOTH SASHA AND THE WORKERS WERE POLITE AND THOROUGH. THE WORK STARTED A BIT LATE BECAUSE OF WEATHER FACTORS, BUT PROCEEDED COMPETENTLY TO THE FINISH. SASHA OFFERED TO RETURN IF I FOUND ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL. THE WORK WAS WELL DONE.

IN GENERAL OK. OUR CONTRACT REQUIRED THE PAINTING TO BE PERFORMED IN MAY. THEY DID NOT START UNTIL THE END OF JUNE. ONCE THEY GOT ROLLING THEY DID A THOROUGH AND PROFESSIONAL JOB. SOME ASPECTS OF THE JOB INCLUDING REINSTALLATION OF SHUTTERS HAVE STILL NOT BEEN COMPLETED. I HAD TO PUSH REALLY HARD TO GET THEM TO DO THE EXTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE WINDOWS WHICH WERE CLEARLY A PART OF THE CONTRACT. I THINK THEY ARE OVERBOOKED WITH WORK AND ARE HAVING TROUBLE BALANCING JOBS.

PAINTERS WERE VERY FRIENDLY. OVERALL, PAINTED AREAS LOOK VERY NICE. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES THE PAINTERS WERE A LITTLE SLOPPY WITH GETTING ONE COLOR OF PAINT (I.E. THE TRIM) ON ANOTHER COLOR OF PAINT (I.E. THE PAINTED EXTERIOR). THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE, HOWEVER THE PAINTERS SHOULD REVIEW THEIR WORK WHEN DONE AND FIX/TOUCH-UP ANY MISTAKES WITHOUT THE HOME OWNER HAVING TO REVIEW THE WORK. THIS IS A SMALL ISSUE THAT'S VERY CORRECTABLE. ALSO, NOTE THE PRICE ONLY INCLUDED ONE COAT OF PAINT. IF YOU'RE HAVING A DARKER COLOR OF PAINT COVERED, TWO COATS WILL BE NEEDED.

THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT. SASHA WAS PROMPT IN GIVING AN ESTIMATE. HE STARTED THE JOB PROMPTLY AND HE SHOWED ME THE WORK AND PROGRESS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

OURS WAS A BIG PROJECT. SASHA AND CREW WERE FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL; AND GENERALLY DID A GOOD JOB GIVEN THE COST, AGE OF THE OLD FINISH AND EXPECTED LONGEVITY OF THE NEW. THEY CAME WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD, EVERY DAY, AND STAYED UNTIL THE JOB WAS FINISHED. SASHA ADVISED US ON COLORS AND MONITORED HIS CREW OFTEN. WE WERE A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR DAILY CLEANUP OF THE PAINT SCRAPINGS AND OTHER TRASH. SOME OF THE SIDING NAIL HEADS (ORIGINAL NON-GALVANIZED) THAT THEY HAD REMOVED THE OLD PAINT OFF OF ARE NOW RUSTING THROUGH THE NEW FINISH AND I WILL HAVE TO DO SOME MODEST TOUCH UP. ALSO THERE IS SOME MINOR STAINING THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY RAIN HITTING FRESH PAINT. WE WERE A BIT SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT THE COST OF PAINTING THE 2 DORMERS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ESTIMATE. WE WOULD RECOMMEND AND USE SASHA AGAIN BUT GO OVER THE WORK A BIT MORE CLOSELY PRIOR TO AND AT COMPLETION. WE HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLIMENTS ON THE HOME AND ARE GLAD THAT WE RESTORED THE ORIGINAL SID

THEY WERE GOOD AND ARE PROFESSIONALS. THEY WERE QUIET AND UNOBTRUSIVE.

THE SUMMER CAME AND WENT. HE FINALLY SAID DUE TO THE WEATHER HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO US THIS YEAR. HE OFFERED US A REFUND WHICH WE TOOK. HE DID NOT PERFORM THE WORK WITHIN THE GIVEN TIME FRAME.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS GOOD. HE DID EVERYTHING THAT I ASKED HIM TO DO. HE EVEN WAS PROACTIVE IN A NUMBER OF AREAS THAT WERE NOT IN THE QUOTE, THAT MADE THE HOUSE LOOK MUCH BETTER. HE ALSO HELPED ME GET IN TOUCH WITH A CONTRACTOR TO REPAIR SOMETHING BEYOND HIS CAPABILITY. HIS PRICE WAS VERY COMPETITIVE. THE QUALITY, WHILE IT WAS NOT TO THE VERY TOP LEVEL, WAS GOOD. I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET THE WORK DONE (ACCEPTANCE OF QUOTE WAS IN MARCH AND THE WORK WAS COMPLETED IN SEPTEMBER). THE WET SPRING HURT AND GOT HIM BEHIND SCHEDULE. SINCE HE HAS SUCH A GOOD ANGIE'S LIST RATING, I KNEW HE WOULD GET THE JOB DONE, BUT I WAS STARTING TO WORRY A BIT AND I HAD TO STAY AFTER HIM. IF I HAVE A NEED FOR FUTURE EXTERIOR PAINTING WORK, I WOULD USE HIM AGAIN.

THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS VERY BAD, I FEEL I WAS CHARGED TOO MUCH, THE WORK WAS SLOPPY AND I HAD TO THREATEN WITH A LAWYER TO GET THE WORK COMPLETED. HE DID NOT DO THE REPAIRS WHICH HE PROMISED AND FOR WHICH I PAID $450 EXTRA. HE YELLED AT ME WITH THREATENING GESTURES TO MAKE ME PAY IN FULL BEFORE HE FINISHED THE WORK.

PRICE ON THE TOP OF THE HOUSE WAS EXCELLENT, BOTTOM FLOOR WAS EXPENSIVE. REALLY GREAT JOB. I DID NOT HIRE FOR THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE HOUSE.

SASHA OFFERED MANY EXCUSES ABOUT WHY HE WAS NOT COMPLETING THE WORK, WOULD SAY HE WAS SHOWING UP AND NEVER COME. HE ALWAYS HAD AN EXCUSE. HE HAS REFUNDED OUR MONEY, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE GIVING HIS NAME OUT. IN YOUR MOST RECENT MAGAZINE IT APPEARS THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPANY.

THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB! THEY HAD A LARGE WORK CREW SO THAT MADE IT FASTER. THEY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND ANSWERED ANY QUESTIONS. I WOULD USE THEM AGAIN.

SASHA PAINTING DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF CAULKING AND PAINTING THE CONDO UNITS. IT TOOK A WHILE TO COME OUT AND GET STARTED (BUT A LOT OF THE DELAY WAS BECAUSE OF THE RAINY WEATHER IN SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER), BUT ONCE THEY STARTED CAULKING AND PAINTING, THEY CAME OUT EVERY DAY UNTIL IT WAS DONE. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT CLEAN UP JOB. THEY DID A VERY PROFESSIONAL JOB AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE ELSE.

THEY SAID THEY WOULD FOLLOW-UP AND I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM.

THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! WORK WAS DONE PROMPTLY, WORKED WITH US ON THE PAYMENT, NO PAINT ON THE OTHER NEIGHBORS, AND ALL AROUND DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. I WOULD USE AGAIN IN A FLASH! WE HAD ABOUT 10 ESTIMATES AND HE WAS THE BEST BY FAR AND OUR TENANTS THOUGHT SO AS WELL.
