I contracted Mr. James Tucker, owner of Cougar Painting to paint our home in September 2018. I have…read morebeen very satisfied with the great work he and his crew performed. James and his crew did the most top quality painting job within a time frame that was established upfront, he performed the work on time and within the agreed budget. Furthermore, James communicated effectively via phone or text, so that there were no surprises. They were always courteous and professional paying special attention to detail. They took very good care of our belongings and of others by taping and covering everything to protect it from paint. For example: He not only taped around window and door frames, but would also cover any of the neighbors' cars with plastic, so that they would not get any accidental paint. They also removed unneeded fixtures like old satellite dishes, and unused cables that were in the way at no extra charge. James fulfilled my expectations and for that we have hired him again for jobs on another house. I highly recommend Cougar Painting for any quality painting job.

Mr Tucker, the owner was most cooperative and made sure we got the right kind paint for our house. The workers had little to say, they just went about doing the job. We were happy with the job and the price. N.Watson

Barry and his crew did a full remodel of our 1960s-era kitchen. We are absolutely thrilled with…read moretheir work. At every step of the way we were impressed with the care, attention to detail, and level of craftsmanship put into our project. Starting with collaborating on the architectural drawings to obtaining the necessary permits to handling the inspections (Not to mention navigating relations with our neighbors), Barry expertly handled the entire process. We often joked that they would never get to leave our house since we kept coming up with more things for them to do. We ended up with a much better kitchen than we originally designed due to their input. Thanks to them we were able to remove a post and beam which dramatically opened up our small space. They suggested vendors, sourced products, and pointed out options that vastly improved our design. They recommended we continue the stove backsplash across the entire wall, and it's now our favorite part of the kitchen. This team does exceptional work, and are wonderful to work with. They are experts at all phases of construction from rough framing, electrical and plumbing to cabinet installation and stonework. They took great care to protect our living spaces while the work was being done. We ended up replacing an entire portion of the kitchen from foundation to roof which left us with some exposure to the outside. Multiple layers of plastic sheeting both inside and out created barriers for wind, rain, dust and dirt. Daily the area was cleaned and left organized to minimize impact on our daily lives.

There were also some other items that they fixed or improved upon for me to make my life easier all-around! I cannot recommend Barry Levitan highly enough!

Unfortunately, there were many things that happened throughout my experience with them that made me semi regret my decision? I mean, he did give me a great price but at what cost? I'll explain: Jorge's company was to repaint the entire exterior of my house, fix any rotten carpentry, and repair and replace gutters or downspouts that needed to be replaced. I think listing my up's and downs with his company is easier than essay form. Plus 1. He gave me the best price. 2. He was very responsive and present (at least before he was paid) 3. They finished the job very quickly (maybe not a good thing? See below) Minus 1. He was not very experienced with gutters/downspouts. Before he started with my gutters/downspouts, I asked him if he was experienced and he said yes. His work showed otherwise. Some of the downspouts were not connected to the gutter, the necks of the downspouts were not stabilized correctly, and the connections of the downspouts were not properly connected to the floor drains. I had to point out all of these errors and guide his company on how to fix them. At one point, he tried to assure me that even though the downspout wasn't connected to the gutter, it would not move. That made me very uneasy because I looked at like 20 houses and none of them looked like that. Ultimately he fixed the errors but not without a fight. He did give me a super price though. I think I would have paid 3 times what I paid if I went elsewhere. 2. He either tried to upsell me or just did not remember our conversation on the price for his work. We agreed on a price and that included EVERYTHING. Later on he tried to say materials were not included, which I took as an upsell. Ultimately, he ended up agreeing with me but as before, not without a fight. 3. His paint started bubbling. They primed the whole house but not the front door. I thought that was kind of weird but I just assumed they knew what they were doing so did not comment. The door paint started bubbling a couple weeks after they finished. There is also some bubbling on the front framing by our garage. I contacted Jorge and he assured me his company would come by and take care of it. He told me in the span of 2 weeks that he would show up twice but did not show. When I called him out on it, he seemed to be bothered by it. He was responsive and present before we paid him but seems like after we paid, he did not care much. 4. His follow up is not good. I always say you can tell a lot about a company on how they treat you after you paid them if something goes wrong. He no showed twice and seemed bothered when I called him out on it. He did say he would show at one point. I guess time will tell. Usually, I assume a company with good reviews cares about their online presence but at one point when we were arguing about the downspouts he said write a bad review, I don't care. It didn't make sense to me. It was like he was not the company I thought I hired. When we first discussed the price, he did negotiate with me and gave me a super price. Maybe that was the reason why he fought me on so many things. I think maybe he kept thinking you get what you pay for don't be so picky? Overall, the paint job looks good and I can probably fix the bubbling myself. But was the process smooth? Definitely not. He did give me a super deal though. I can't deny that. I think if more areas start bubbling, I will feel like he scammed/ripped me off but if just the door and the front area, I guess for the price, not bad. I just assumed the job would be done properly at the agreed price even though he gave me a deal. Either way, he did leave the conversation at "you will be scheduled" but the fact that he seemed bothered makes me assume he's not going to show up. Which is really odd for someone with good reviews. Originally, when we were fighting about the downspouts, I said I would not write him a bad review because I figured downspouts maybe aren't his thing. I mean he is marketed as a painting company. But now that his paint is starting to bubble I reconsidered. People need to know what they are getting into. To Jorge's credit, a lot of the mishaps that occurred were by his team. There were a couple times I caught him upset whispering under his breath after he realized he told his team to do something and they completely did the opposite. I think if you have a lot of people working under you it can be difficult to lead and communicate. And I think for the price he was giving me, it was probably difficult to pay his workers again to correct there work. I can empathize. I think if Jorge does end up fixing this issue, I will update the review but for now the vibe I get from him is he just doesn't care. He was paid and he's out. Not a good way to run a business or get referrals but hey, that may be his thing.

In the typical "If you give a mouse a cookie situation" we ended up pulling the trigger on…read morerepainting our whole house after having to re-paint one of our bathrooms due to wall damage. After asking around, Jorge offered the most competitive quote (a little more than 1/3 what our bathroom remodel contractors wanted to charge us) AND his price included the cost of materials. We were initially cautious given the lack of reviews, but bolstered by the few glowing reviews they had already garnered, we decided to take a chance on a new business. From the start, I knew we were in good hands. Jorge was very responsive and communicative over text. When he came in person to look at the house, the quote was exactly what he had estimated, no surprise revisions or upcharges. He is also the most chill person I have ever met. He offered to help my husband and I move some of our furniture to prepare for the paint job. When he saw my husband and I preparing to carry a desk upstairs, he hustled over to take it off my hands (Chivalry is not dead, people!) He even helped my husband figure out how to configure the internet so he could work from home while they painted (Jorge ended up passing the internet fiber through an open window to my husband in the other room.) His team was meticulous and courteous. They removed all the light switch covers, curtain rods, toilet holders, etc. before painstakingly applying plastic and tape over all the surfaces. They worked diligently each day from 7:30-5pm. One day, the team had a scheduling conflict and could not come in during the day -- Jorge asked for permission to bring his team in the evening instead to keep the project on track and ended up staying until 9pm. He quoted that the project would take 7-11 working days, and it took 8, including final touch-ups after our walkthrough. I'm a little OCD so I always feel bad during walkthroughs when I point out little imperfections that bother me. Jorge took it all in stride. We walked around with a roll of painter's tape and he would mark things I pointed out saying "Oh yeah, we can definitely fix that." He would also take initiative to put the tape on things that I didn't even notice. There was a doorbell cover that I did not know existed and he asked me if I wanted it painted to match the wall. I said, "Oh it doesn't really bother me that much" and he replied, "It bothers me. We'll paint it." That's the kind of attention to detail that Jorge and his team offer! In addition to paint, they also helped remove nails remaining in the wall, patched the drywall, and touched up the wall trim. In summary, I would highly recommend Jorge and his team. I would hire him again in a heartbeat for any paintjobs I have.
