I originally hired Alex Bautista/GiGi Homes simply as a painting contractor to help bring my vision…read morefor Cuppett Performing Arts Center to life over the summer. What I ended up finding was so much more.
From the very beginning, I was impressed by his timeliness, professionalism, communication, and extraordinary attention to detail. He cared about every aspect of the finished product--not just completing the job, but making sure it was done beautifully and correctly. His work ethic was remarkable, and I continually found myself noticing little details he had handled that I hadn't even thought to ask about.
Very shortly after the project began, I experienced a serious family emergency that unexpectedly took me away from the studio and made me essentially unavailable for about ten days. Instead of the project falling apart or requiring constant direction from me, he simply stepped up and handled everything. He understood the vision we had discussed, made thoughtful decisions, solved problems as they arose, and kept the entire project moving forward. When I was finally able to return my attention to the studio, I was amazed by how beautifully everything had been handled in my absence. That level of responsibility, judgment, and care meant more to me than I can adequately express.
What makes the story even better is that somewhere along the way I discovered that the person I had been thinking of as "my painter" was actually an experienced general/home contractor who does full renovations and remodeling. I had hired him for paint, but I suddenly realized I had found someone I could trust with so much more.
He has since continued working with us on other projects around our facility, including construction work and even relocating plumbing so that we can gain additional usable Having one person I can call who understands the building, understands my vision, can troubleshoot problems, and can actually execute the work correctly is incredibly valuable.
Beyond his talent and skill, he is simply a very kind person with a good heart. He treated my business and my facility as though the outcome genuinely mattered to him. That is rare.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him without hesitation to anyone looking for painting, remodeling, renovations, or general contracting work. I went looking for a great paint contractor and ended up finding a contractor I hope to work with for many years to come!
