siding before work

Daniel just completed a wood siding refinishing project for me. The wood was beginning to fade from the beautiful red-brown color to a more grey-yellow look, and I wanted it restored to the original finish. I had used a different contractor two years ago, so I discussed what that person had done and the materials he used (Deckwise Ipe oil). Daniel was not familiar with that oil, so I showed him a picture of it. Daniel told me he preferred to use a different material and would actually use a stain on the lower fence, since it would better handle the wear/exposure that the lower fence would be subjected to. Daniel told me it would be a 4-day job with a possible need for a 5th, since there was a lot of work to do. Everything sounded reasonable, so I signed the contract Daniel had prepared immediately after our conversation. Daniel's crew performed a soft wash of the siding and then applied a clear protective coating over the wood. That's it. The 4-5 day job was at best 3 and an hour or two. And the results speak for themselves. The wood is maybe the slightest shade darker, but there is no noticeable color improvement at all, especially considering this was intended to be at least a 4-day job. Daniel also informed me as his crew was wrapping up that he was unable to find a stain for the lower fence that would match the rest of the siding, so his crew would just be applying the clear coat. The lower fence, which is partially shaded, is actually now TWO completely different colors - half is the faded grey-yellow where it is exposed to the sun and the other half is a rich red-brown color where it is constantly shaded and protected from rain. Normally, I would say it was simply a terrible miscommunication between us and move on, but I had made it absolutely clear that I wanted the color of the siding to be restored. And given that the lower fence will be two different colors AFTER Daniel has completed the work boggles my mind. When I brought this to Daniel's attention, he claimed that we had never discussed any of this and that the contract said he would only use clear-coat. And he was right. The contract says what it says, and my reading of it without understanding painting terms let that slip by. None of the extensive conversation we had moments before he wrote up the contract in his truck was in this contract. There was no mention of the color I wanted for the siding or the materials I wanted to be used. I guess I really overpaid for some clear coat. It is 100% my fault for assuming that Daniel would attempt in some way to do what we had discussed. We had even talked about working out an annual maintenance plan for Daniel to return each year to freshen up the look of the siding. Clearly, that won't be happening. If you just want to get a sense of his work. Take a look at the pictures. For the money I spent, there is no meaningful difference. The person I used 2 years ago made a dramatic transformation, and he made sure the lower fence was stain and scratch free (as well as one consistent color) before he asked to be paid. Daniel couldn't even do that.

We hired D. Holden to do some stucco work on our home, they were prompt, very professional, cleaned up after themselves and the pricing was reasonable, we highly recommend them

HIRE THIS GUY. Seriously. My mom had met him originally, and told me she wanted to hire him to paint her house. I was frankly skeptical. A few months later, I got bids from multiple contractors to paint her house: its interior, exterior and surrounding fence and garage. I remembered Daniel, and asked for a bid from him as well. I've heard nightmare stories about painters, and random contractors, so pored over all the bids as they came in with some trepidation. Daniel's was 50% lower than the competition, so I called to set up a meeting. He was SO NICE and personable, just super down to earth, I decided to hire him. Lo and behold, he and his team of equally personable, professional and courteous painting guys showed up and did AN EXCELLENT JOB. They were clean, they were fast, and THEY DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB!! WOW!!! I would not hesitate to recommend this guy for ANY work assignment. Just as good as it gets. A++++

See all

They had excellent attention to detail, filled all stucco cracks, and other imperfections (they even fixed a gutter) before painting.

My…read morebiggest concern was matching the orange peel texture pattern to the existing adjacent walls in the room. I called several places from Yelp and also several local well known companies. Kariem responded within 24 hours and offered me a good quote and could start the job immediately. Others had quotes all over the place for "painter for a day" and excessive prep and materials. This was a relatively easy job and Kariem and Debbie were friendly and did good work for a fair price. They made the wall look great and the texture matching worked along with a coat of primer. They were a no pressure team and finished the job as quoted for cost and time. Easy to work with and good work.

We did a full interior repaint for our single-family rental that just became vacant, and from start to finish the experience was great. On the initial walk-through, Kariem listened to our needs and worked up a couple different quotes based on different ideas we had, and we ended up getting the works (ceiling, walls, trim, closets, and even some exterior patch and paint) and we are so glad we did because the value was unparalleled! The place has a new life breathed into it and looks fantastic. We will definitely be contacting them again for all our painting needs!

Best Painters Ever…read more Multiple companies have painted my house over the years. Small companies, big companies, less expensive painters and very expensive painters, but the most impressive and professional painters I have ever encountered are Jaime Gutierrez and his crew from Just Right Painting. They are fast, they do absolutely perfect beautiful work for a reasonable fee, and they leave the work area spotless when they finish.  They also do LACQUER finish for kitchen cabinets IN SITU; and they were the only company I interviewed who would. I was nervous about it, but when they finished, the work was stunning. I recommend them without reservation.  To schedule work and ask about fees, call:  Pablo Flores - Coordinator and Scheduler @ Just Right Painting - office (213) 469-8890 And request Jaime Gutierrez - Head painter @ Just Right Painting for your job. He's amazing.  Mobile (323) 500-8575.

It's not always easy to find a company that is both fast and meticulous, but they really were. Highly recommended!

After 3 estimates, we decided to go with Exterior Specialists because the owner (Chris) has been…read morepainting houses for 30 years. While the others seemed like salesmen, Chris was straightforward, but his expertise shined through! He wasn't the cheapest nor the most expensive...just right - like Goldilocks. The painters are all long term employees curated over 30 years and it shows! The crew was 3-5 people and they were very well organized, friendly, and most of all, hard working! The crew lead, Javier, was like a master overseeing his apprentices while working harder than everyone. Chris came on site several times over the week to check on things as well. I was amazed by all the prep work the crew did and well they cleaned up at the end of each day! Chris says the prep work is the most important part painting and it pays to do it right. His experience is vast and helped us select our colors from our finalists along with advising on some other non-painting related work we needed done such as sandblasting, roofing, and gutters. We really felt like we were is good, capable and honest hands! I write very few online reviews...only for truly exceptional service which certainly applies to Exterior Specialists! I highly recommend them for exterior painting.

Recently, we had to repaint and repair the exterior of our house. After being rejected by other…read morepainters who said our house was too tall (it's 2 stories tall) and old we, searched through Yelp. Seeing the high ratings, we decided to hired Chris and his team from Exterior Specialists and are extremely pleased with the results. TL;DR: - Chris and his team are both efficient/ultra fast and skilled at their jobs (finished in a week, half the estimated time, and produced very high quality work) - Great work ethic from his team: on time, flexible, and clean (everything was organized and put away at the end of each day), despite scorching hot weather - Able to repair eaves (whether it be refurbishing or replacing) to be brand new - Chooses highest quality paint and won't get any paint on surfaces you don't want it on (the ground, lights, other decor) - Chris has great taste when it comes to choosing a color scheme for your home More Details: Firstly, Chris has great artistic taste in terms of what colors to choose to best fit your home. Our vision for the project was to refurbish our home to become more modern, which meant choosing a different exterior paint color. Unable to decide which colors to choose, we asked Chris what colors he would recommend. Not only was he able to immediately recommend different colors, but the color scheme he chose for us fitted our home perfectly and was exactly what we had in mind. Chris and his team's work is of the highest quality. Many of our home's eaves had been damaged by termites and needed replacing; many of the wooden boards were not only very high up and hard to reach, but also very large. Yet, he said it was no problems and his carpenters were able to make our eaves look brand new. They even went beyond replacing the badly damaged boards and helped sand and fill in the rest of our eaves! The paint was also of the same level of quality. Chris will help you choose the most premium paint that both looks nice and is more grime resistant than other paints. His painting team is highly skilled: there are no paint bubbles or flakes, no messy streaks or flecks to be seen, and they'll make sure any lights or decorations on the exterior walls are removed or completely covered. The greatest merit of Chris and his team, however, is their work ethic. We were in the middle of a heat dome when they started work, meaning temperatures were in the high 90s to 100s all day. Despite the unpleasant weather, Chris's team would arrive on time every day and work with no complaints. The workspace was always kept clean and organized at the end of each day; upon finishing, they made sure the surrounding area was extra clean. The most surprising thing is, the team was able to finish the project in a week, a whole week faster than the original 2 week estimate! It is amazing how quickly yet masterfully they were able to complete the work in these summer conditions, and we thank them for all their hard work (not to mention that they were able to start work a day or two after Chris's appraisal). His team is also very flexible. We initially weren't planning on repainting our garage since it was newer, but after seeing how it looked with the new colors, we decided we wanted to repaint it as well. Even though they were wrapping up when we asked them, they were able to immediately purchase the needed paint and still finish on the same day! We cannot more highly recommend Exterior Specialists to work on your house: you won't be disappointed!
