After more than 4 paint jobs with this company, I have finally had enough and decided to move on to…read moresomeone else. There's nothing wrong with the paint crew itself: they are hard working and professional. Unfortunately, they are not properly informed by the owner who conveniently forgets to tell them to paint areas included in the estimates, even after collecting the money for the job. The problem is with the owner Frank who, either because of old age or because of too much partying, is neglectful, forgetful and scatter-brained, to the point where four times, I had to bring back the crew because Frank (and no one else) forgot to tell them to do a segment that was included in the contract. And so, I recorded our conversation and took pictures and films of the areas to do last summer only to...come back and find that Frank forgot once again to tell the crew to do a whole side of the house that was left unpainted. Frank called it "miscommunication" even after I showed evidence it was included in our agreement, and said "we'll do it for sure "next time". Problem is, I already paid for a job that was incomplete and, because of Frank's lack of professionalism and consistency, I decided there won't be a "next time", because I'm sure he'll forget again this time and blame it on too much wine or not enough sleep. And what's worse is the insistence to do what was supposed to be done another time when I decide to do another segment, and he'll "throw this last one in too". I now completely veer away from this company, will never use again, and totally advise against using by ANYONE as too many mistakes, too many recalls and too many times did he simply "forget" to tell his crew to do one or other side, or other segment, one or other fascia, one corner etc... I'd rather avoid the headache and the argument and go somewhere else, even though he still owes me for a corner that was included in the previous estimate and bill, that was paid for, but was never completed. I would definitely not recommend this company, end of story. Frank does however, get an A+ at being a BS artist and salesman, not so at being consistent and professional.

Parker Painting

I'm not changing my 5-star review of Parker Painting. I just want to add to my 5-star review to…read morereiterate to folks looking for honest workmanship and business dealings that you won't be disappointed by going with Parker Painting. My husband and I had a nightmare project of a house remodel. There were many low points and frustrations and some very very bad experiences with some contractors. So when we worked with contractors that actually did what they said they were going to do and then did the work with the utmost in workmanship and integrity, well, then I am just compelled to let the Yelp community know about them. So here is my second 5-star review of Parker Painting. I am so happy I hired Parker Painting. We were doing a remodel on an old house we inherited, and one of the bright notes of this giant and difficult project was Parker Painting. The price quoted was the lowest bid from all the other painting companies we contacted. Often times I'm afraid to take the lowest bid because I'm afraid of shoddy workmanship, but because they had such high ratings on both Yelp and Google, I gambled and we hit the jackpot. The paint job entailed: 1) exterior painting of stucco walls, all the trim on the outside, the metal garage door, the side door into the garage, and the patio wood patio cover, and 2) interior painting of all walls, ceilings and interior doors including the front door. The exterior work was done several months before the interior simply because the interior was waiting for other projects to finish first. Parker Painting worked with our schedule which helped take the pressure off us. So the exterior work went smoothly. Then it was time to paint the inside. Don't worry; it's all good. Because we had extensive repair work to the interior walls and because we had popcorn ceiling removed, there was a lot of raw wall board with new texture applied, which meant that this new texture absorbed primer and paint like crazy. Plus, there were several areas with water damage which required extra strength primer to cover up the water stains and keep them from leaking through the paint. Jason, the owner and the person who gave us the quote, admitted to me that he underestimated the amount of primer, paint and labor that the interior required, and applying these extra coats of primer and paint added to his labor cost. He told me that he was just breaking even on the interior painting in regards to labor, but all he asked from us was if we would pay (we did) for the extra amount of paint, primer and extra strength primer that was required to do the job correctly. He did not ask us for more for the extra cost of labor. I call that integrity in business. Throughout all this, the work effort and quality of work remained top quality. The work crew were meticulous in taping off parts that were not to be painted. The quality of work was/is top notch. As a matter of fact, our electrical contractor asked me who we hired to paint the house and then took a business card I had on me for his own reference. His comment about the quality of the paint job was that he's seen A LOT of paint jobs and this was one of the finest he has seen. He told me he's seen a lot of slop work and that this job was top quality and well done. Parker Painting also painted the interior of my brother's home. He and his wife were both pleased with the bid price and with the quality of work. The work crew are friendly, approachable, cleaned up the work site before they left each day, and showed the utmost in workmanship. Parker Painting is in my permanent contact list of contractors to hire and I would absolutely recommend them to friends, family, and the Yelp community. If you want a great price, quality work, and honest people, then Parker Painting is the painting company you need to hire.

I sent him photos of what I needed painted, and he answered a million questions from me about the difference between staining and painting and how the pricing would be affected. I agreed to go with Stubbins on Friday. By Monday, Mike A had sent a team to color match the paint needed, and by COB, had completed the project. The front of my house now looks gorgeous!

Over the years, I've had other handymen pass on the project. I had a handyman who was able to fill the rotted areas with wood filler, sand it, and restain it. I've even had a gate company tell me that they could not save the gate; it would need to be completely replaced. Bill was able to cut out the rotted pieces of wood, replace them, and restain the whole gate (he also repainted the decorative hardware on the door as well). Moreover, he discussed the project with a buddy of his and they determined that the gate was sitting over a muddy part of landscaping which is probably what facilitated the deterioration of the wood. We found some leftover pavers in our storage shed and Bill extended the pavers so the gate would sit over pavers instead of mud. Before he embarked on the wood gate repair, Bill also installed a valance/shade over a window. He made the necessary calculations to ensure that the valance/shade would be centered on the wall and window. He also made sure that the valence was leveled. Bill is honest, meticulous and detail-oriented. If you want someone to treat your project and your home, like it's his own, I would give Bill a call.

He did not tell me it would be beautiful only from one angle and I am very disappointed. So frankly I would not hire him for a repair. This is a reply to your offer. Thank you for your offer to redo the work, but when I expressed concerns after your initial repair, that would have been the time to discuss alternative approaches. At the time you left me with that was just the way it was because of the way light is refracted. I tried to ignore it but it leaps out at you every time you walk by. It is much worse than it was before and 4 times larger. I hired another company to come out and see what they could do. Although their repair still isn't perfect, it is significantly less noticeable. At this point, I don't feel confident that another attempt would achieve the results I would like.
