Friends recommended Evergreen so I asked Toby to work two projects for us.
One job was work in the backyard; he surprised me by doing more than I expected.
My second job was removing an old shed and building a new one in place. In this project I specifically asked that he incorporate paint and leftover roofing materials that I had from a recent roofing job to ensure as close a match as possible to the existing house. In doing so while the cost savings was minimal, he did not argue. He was very easy to work with and accommodating in every sense. I also asked Toby to bring over his framer(s) so I could ensure they understood specific requirements I had. He did so on a Saturday. Unfortunately, the paint I provided for the walls did not match the adjacent building and was for me, an eye sore. That error was on me. The Home Depot Paint Department used my small sample I had them make previously and confirmed that it was the match I wanted, however when upsized to a gallon, somehow it was not close at all. I worked with HD (Robert worked hard and gets huge credit) and after I got a proper match, I set out to re-paint the shed myself. As the projects were completed, Toby sent his son and crew over with the express intent "of making sure I was happy." I casually explained the issue with the paint mis match, and they immediately offered to redo the painting for me, including trim work. It looks great! That extra kindness sealed the deal for me. I will be using Evergreen for future projects. The overall costs were very reasonable in my opinion.
As an aside: Evergreen informed me that they had experienced another recent mismatched paint job, so make sure you work with HD and double check any custom paint before painting. HD and Evergreen, again, were wonderful to work with, even though I didn't double check the custom gallon before handing it off to the paint crew. My mistake. It won't happen again, at least until next time. read more
