Their service is superb--from the initial, design phase to installation. Design Manager Judith Hunter provides exceptional service. She knows her product line, is meticulous and imaginative, and willing to listen to the customer and work out a just-right solution. Judith helped us identify the right solar shades for our windows and size them correctly. She custom designed a room-darkening shade solution for our bedrooms that left our mini-blinds intact (so that we could have the privacy from blinds during the day and the sleep-inducing darkness of opaque shades at night), but retains a streamlined look. I cannot recommend her and Monarch more highly.

I have never written a negative review before because I've never had such a bad experience.

I have a two story house. I needed some repair work done to the wood window frame around a rather…read morelarge master bedroom dormer above my garage. I also wanted the wood trim around the garage door, first and second floor windows, a large colonial window above the entrance, the front door and windows, and all facia boards repainted. I received four estimates, but only three did site visits. Three of the estimates were over $4,000. My house was built in 1993. I've had the front soft washed and repainted three times since then. Each time the price was a little higher, but no where close to $4,000. Liberty Painting's price was very reasonable and no where near $4,000. We scheduled the work for the following week. Two painters arrived on time. We discussed the scope of work, which included soft washing the wood. They were both very friendly and did excellent work. They cleaned up the work area as promised. I am completely satisfied with the results. Before, during, and after the project communication was great. They did everything promised. I highly recommend Liberty Painting.

His price is much more reasonable than the bigger companies' price quotes. He patiently consulted me on the "right" shade of white to use (because there are dozens, it's overwhelming!), the most cost-effective brand of paint to use, and even guided me through grey paint swatches for the walls that would look good with the new cabinets and our existing granite countertops. AND once I got that grey paint shade, he painted 6" around the NEW cabinets so I wouldn't accidentally mess up his fine work :) I mean that's above and beyond the call of duty. He's just that great. His team was super considerate in laying down tarps, organizing kitchen items, and meticulously protecting the hardwood floors and appliances to avoid dust or unintentional staining. Most importantly: THE RESULTS WERE MAGICAL. In 3 days our kitchen was transformed. It was brighter, bigger, and more modern. A 100% improvement. He did an incredible job. I would hire him again for another job in a heartbeat.

Originally expecting a casual retail experience, we learned about draft, airflow, firebox issues, door design and finishes, and more. None of this was designed to upsell us. Rather, it was to more fully inform us to help make a wise decision. It seemed this place wanted to ensure we would be fully satisfied. I recommended The Fireplace Shop create a YouTube video to inform potential customers of fireplace basics BEFORE visiting. The information was that good. Our plans to DIY replace a collection of hardware store fireplace doors and grate and have a separate company do a chimney inspection/repair are gone. Bad idea! If we do this job, we'll do it right! BTW- our solution was NOT to hire the Fireplace Shop to do the job. They have trusted referrals for a comprehensive one-stop solution. That's what we want! My advice to others is to go with questions and an open mind. Be patient and you may be rewarded with a bounty of useful information. Thanks! Also - I was given a storeroom tour as we talked. There is a lot more to this place than the front showroom.

I have never met any contractor who really cares and concerns about what he does more than this guy.

Pretty much all contractors would simply paint and wont even mention to the customers about it yet he insisted going backup the ladder multiple trips and took take care of them.
