I highly recommend Brian and BES Painting. I originally contacted Brian, along with 3 or 4 other companies to get an estimate for painting the exterior of my house. I was contemplating replacing windows, and wanted to know whether it was more cost effective to have the windows replaced or repaired and painted. Brian arrived exactly at our appointment time, walked around and assessed the work to be done, answered my many questions and offered helpful suggestions. He subsequently provided me with a comprehensive estimate - including and excluding window work. Since I decided to have the windows replaced, I couldn't commit to a start date for the paint work, since Brian wisely recommended having the windows completed before painting, and I also had a very heavy work schedule coming up. Brian was completely flexible and worked with me to figure out a start date. I was worried about noise since I work nights and need to sleep during the day, but Brian and Dave worked so quietly, I didn't even know they were there the first day. Brian was very patient with my indecisiveness about color and again offered suggestions based on his experience. As work progressed, Brian addressed any concern I had, no matter how small. He made great suggestions which I would have never thought of which really improved the finished product. Brian and Dave showed up every day at 0800 am, worked exceptionally quietly and cleaned up at the end of every work day. At the end of the project, Brian hauled away almost all trash and debris from the project, leaving just one bag in my trash can. I think Brian takes great personal pride in his work and it shows. The house is beautiful and turned out even better than I'd hoped. He is extremely easy-going and very pleasant to be around. I found him to be completely trustworthy and valued both his ability and ethics. The day he finished the exterior project, I asked him for an estimate for the interior and can't wait to see how it turns out! HIGHLY recommended. read more
