"A wonderful experience, a beautiful outcome"…read more I hired them to replace several timber retaining walls and re-gravel my parking area. It was a wonderful experience start to finish. David deftly solved a major logistical challenge (getting product down a steep hill with no vehicle access) and had great ideas not only for wall design and erosion control but enhanced functionality elsewhere on the lot. Project manager Terry was very responsive. The crew was highly skilled, with excellent attention to detail; I couldn't have asked for better. The result was much more than stronger retaining walls, it was a transformation: new pathways and garden areas, greater curb appeal. I've gotten a lot of compliments, some calling it "a work of art". I heartily recommend 2D Pros.

David was extremely communicative about the timing and plans, so we always knew what would happen next and what we needed to do. His demo crew worked quickly and cleaned up very well. His craftsmanship was evident throughout. The corners line up. The grout lines are clean and consistent. The aesthetics are lovely, and the practical functionality of the bathroom is outstanding. He had to solve for a couple challenges, most notably that the new flooring was thicker and thus created a disparity with the entrance to the master closets in the bathroom and to the master bedroom. His solution was elegant and well done. My morning showers now feel like I'm at a spa. We love it! By the way he and his wife are lovely people and a pleasure to work with.

We we're referred to Luis and Pro Finishes by our Realtor and we are so glad we went with Luis and…read morehis crew. We received 3 bids and Pro Finishes bid was the most comprehensive and competitive. It was a pleasure from start to finish to work with Luis and all of his crew. We had bought a 1980's house that needed extensive renovation both inside and out. They painted inside and out, replace carpet with hardwood, sanded existing floors, remodeled and gutted 2 1/2 baths, tiled kitchen replace countertops, redid back porch and built a screened patio, built us a custom vanity and media cabinet to our specifications. We had several additional work items that we added to the job and all was accommodated without adding extra time to the job completion. Not once did I feel that progress wasn't being made. With all that had to be done Luis expertly managed the job and kept it moving along so we were done on time and in 3 months. I would not hesitate to recommend Pro Finishes. I have done several renovations and Luis and his crew were by far the best and most fun to work with.

I have worked with a lot of general contractors and painters, and this has by far been one of the…read moremost unprofessional and shocking experiences dealing with Luis at Pro-Finishes. I hired Luis and his crew to paint my kitchen cabinets. The interior cabinets that had a light wood finish/melamine would not be painted. They started on a Monday and began removing cabinet hardware. Luis assured me that all the work and stress of emptying out the kitchen and being without a kitchen for a few days would be worth it. We agreed that cabinet interiors would not be painted, except those that had glass cabinet doors where the interiors were the same wood finish as the exteriors. I called him Monday afternoon to ask that because there were a few additional cabinets (maybe 4-5?) that had the same wood finish interior, that I would like those painted as well. We had a civil conversation about it, and he said that there might be an additional cost and would get back to me tomorrow about it. We also agreed to any painting hours inside the house to be 9am - 4:30/5pm daily, with no issue, because I have a toddler I did not want exposed to paint fumes in the house. They had unlimited hours to spray cabinets in our garage on site. Tuesday morning the crew showed up and began working. I left the house for a couple hours, returning with coffee and treats for the crew, but instead was greeted to an empty house and my kitchen haphazardly put back the way it was before. In their rush, random screws and knobs were sitting on the counter, a cabinet was hanging from its hinge, glass was messily glued back onto a cabinet door, and my deposit check was sitting on the counter. I was completely shocked and had no idea what was going on. Luis had made zero indication to me that he was pulling out of the job, until now. I tried calling him and texting him but he would not answer. An hour later, I received a curt email from him stating that because of the work hours and some of the interior cabinets I wanted painted, his crew would not be returning. This is just bad business! Forget about the lack of professionalism and common courtesy to at least call me on the phone and tell his concerns so we could have worked through them, or at least just talk to me about it before disappearing into thin air, but I would have likely paid an additional $1,000-$2,000 had he only come to me like an adult! Maybe he got a bigger project that he wanted instead? I have no idea...but no where in our conversations were things heated or uncivilized or combative to lead me to believe we could not work together or that we could not reach some compromise. Had he simply talked to me, he would have made more money out of the project, I would have likely been happy my project was completed in a timely manner, and I would not be sitting here with a damaged kitchen writing this negative review. Luis could have handled this situation much much MUCH better...in fact the only way he could have handled it any worse is if cashed m check. I must be a very scary 5'4" mom that he could not even have the professionalism to call me over the phone to tell me his concerns. Beware of Pro Finishes.

And I was excited to hear that she'd closed the store and revamped with a new concept that focused more on retail with fewer big-ticket furniture items, and more details. When I ventured in yesterday, honestly, it didn't seem that different to me from before. But I still reveled in all the beautiful pieces -- from jewelry, to sconces, to throw pillows. It's all a bit higher than my everyday price-point; but for a special something to really make your room sing, this'd be just the place.

The only think I really did not like about this shop was that the entire time we were browsing we did not see anyone.

Best Painters in Around…read more People usual only write reviews to complain., but this is not one of those. I was so impressed by my recent experience I was compelled to share my great fortune. We've been in our house over a year, and we decided the builder grade "accessible beige" wasn't cutting it any longer. We needed to paint the interior bad. We had multiple companies come out to bid the job, but none of them held a candle to NC Equality Painting. Jesus (the owner) was great when he came to give us a quote and once, we agreed to a price and start date, next step was getting started. Jesus and his crew where punctual every day and did an excellent job. His crew was very meticulous and he was always checking in to make sure that we like the quality of his job, that we didn't have any questions and that our needs where being met. Did I mention Jesus came everyday himself and it wasn't just him sending in subcontractors and only showing up to collect a check. I work from home so keeping the noise and disruption to a minimum was essential and he did an excellent job. They took photos of everything in the house just so they could move it back to its original position when they were done. They cleaned up at the end of each day and keep the house looking neat as possible. He actually finished the paint job early than quoted and he was so good that my neighbor across the street hired him to do their place will he was here. If you are looking for a fair, honest top-notch painting team, look no further than Jesus and NC Equality Painting!
