I've seen the contract agreement between Ethos and GC and the terms of payment. I've also seen the written demands for payment by Ethos from the GC earlier than the conditions of payment noted in their agreement. Ethos pulled their manpower off my project 10 days prior to when payment from the GC was contractually required. In a nut shell, put my project weeks behind schedule and sent a threatening letter from their attorney that was not signed by their attorney. Quality of work was very good, business practice from an owner's perspective is very poor.

She was transparent and competitive with her pricing and answered all my questions about paint and dry time prior to booking. She worked with the paint color I chose (Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace) but advised me to get a matte finish for my walls as it's a more modern look and semi-gloss white for the trim, which turned out beautifully. Her team went out of their way (and even had to use more paint than we first estimated) to perfect the walls of both my new living room and bedroom. I know I will enlist them for my next project, and I have no doubt they are the right choice for any Portland-area paint needs. I'm attaching my Before & After so you can see how her team's work brightened up both rooms and will serve as a blank canvas for art and wall hangings.

He didn't actually come to my house to see the doors so he thought they needed to be sanded and restained. When the handyman arrived he told me the doors were not wood but metal and would need to be painted. Then the price went up $400 for painting instead of staining. He bought paint, which we had requested black, and he painted the first door. While the door was wet, it looked black. But the next day when he came back, the door was actually very dark brown. So we asked him to get the right paint. Which I got charged for again. He redid the threshold. He took the iron bars off the doors and sprayed them with black rustoleum. I asked him if he could putty some large cracks on two big columns on our front porch. He said he could patch the cracks with putty and then would paint. He ended up putting some kind of weird bonding material all the way around the base of the column and you could see some kind of fiber in the bonding and then he painted it. He did this without asking me first. I was not happy at all with the way it looked. They called me after the job was done and said they would come back and see what they could do to fix the patch job. It's been over a week now and I haven't heard a word from them. I wouldn't recommend for these reasons. They said if anything were to change as far as their quote to me went, it wouldn't be more than 10% of the estimate. They gave me a price of $2400 for the doors and then wanted $400 more for painting instead of staining. What's the big difference? The paint they charged me for, which was the wrong color, was only $6.00. Why the $400 up charge? They should've come out in the first place to see what the doors were actually made of instead of requesting pictures. You live and learn. I will not use them again. Very disappointed. I will say they eventually came down on the price after it went up, and it was about $2500 instead of $2900 which they were going to charge me. The doors look good. The threshold was left the dark brown color though and I had to repaint it myself with the black paint. The columns look terrible.

Mike Fox from Maine Proofing came out, walked on the roof, saw the existing patchwork and leaky vents that had been caulked some time ago. He agreed that there was enough slope for a metal roof. I chose a dark blue, standing (hidden) seam. I learned that the roofing was supplied by Maine Amish. I was happy to buy from a local source. Once the dumpster arrived, he and the crew got the job done in three days. The sheathing was intact and did not need replaced. I decided to have the shingles removed, and that was done. He and the crew installed new boots for the vent and caulked them--one of the old ones had a large hornet's inside! They installed a high temp ice and water shield over the whole roof. This was covered by a snap lock standing seam metal roof, 19 gauge, I think. They installed rake trim along the rakes and the gable ends complete with starter J channel, and Z closures at the cap installation, and used Geosill and butylene sealing tape where needed. The debris was cleaned up, at least 99%. I'm happy. I did not get the chance to borrow their ladder to take pics, but my stepson went up and confirmed that it was well done. Thank you, Mike and crew!
