I called A Plus Decorating to have my rental townhome painted before being put up on the market. After calling two other companies to find out that they were booking project 2-4 months out, I became doubtful that I would be able to get anyone to complete the project on such short notice. The third phone call I made was to A Plus Decorating and I got a hold of Chano. After explaining my situation, Chano asked a number of relevant questions and then asked if he could see the property. I told him whenever he could squeeze me in, I would be available to show it to him. He asked to meet THAT DAY at noon and I said yes!
I took Chano around the townhome showing him damage that needed to be repaired and all that I would like done...some necessary, some optional. Chano spent a great amount of time detailing all my requests and by the next date I had an quote for all the projects we had discussed. The quote came back and it was more than I wanted to spend, but what I really liked about this quote, was that it was itemized!! I was able to pick and choose projects I thought were most important to get accomplished and those that fit within the budget I wanted to spend. When at the townhome initially, Chano told me he would itemize everything for me so that I could prioritize what I wanted/needed done. He also indicated that he never wanted to be the businessman that got into a client's house with a low offer/bid and then slowly increased the cost of the project once the contract was signed and the customer decided to "add on" projects. He wanted to give clients upfront itemized pricing so they knew exactly what they were going to pay so they could prioritize the project based on their budget...which I LOVED!! He also told me the project would take one week to complete, which I was perfect for my timeline.
After signing the adjusted contract a couple days later, Chano and his crew were ready to start THE NEXT DAY! They had just finished a huge job and were able to squeeze me in which I was grateful for. I stopped by the townhome at Chano's request the afternoon they started and the townhome was a bee hive of activity! There were guys everywhere working their butts off!! Three in the garage, four or five in the living/dining room and 2 upstairs! Seaming, taping, spackling, sanding. Banisters, lights and floors were covered for protection...they were doing it all! The next day (Saturday) I stopped by, not expecting anyone to be there and once again, the place was a bee hive of activity!! WOW!! The damage walls in the garage looked great, painting had begun and the transformation was amazing! A few days later I stopped by at night to water the flowers outside and entered the townhome to find it completely done!! Every single, dent, ding, nail pop and damaged wall had been repaired and painted to perfection!! I walked around in awe as to how amazing the property looked! In addition, there was absolutely no evidence that a major crew had been there for 5 days, everything was cleaned perfectly!
Chano is an amazing ethical businessman that wants to provide a great service and quality product to his clients. I couldn't recommend him and his company enough!
Thanks Chano and team for squeezing my project into your schedule. Showings for the townhome were booked solid for 2 days and I had 3 offers the first day, 7 offers in total 6 out of 7 over asking price!! The investment of money to paint the townhome was well worth it. I will be accepting an offer later today! My sincere appreciation to Chano and his crew! read more
