Well, I can't say enough positive about Gust Renovations. They were punctual, clean, and super helpful. They did the work right, even when it meant it would take them longer, and provided advice as to how to make small improvements to increase the value of our house without spending alot of money. I haven't had the best luck finding honesty in the home improvement sector. These guys understand quality and affordability, and I highly recommend them. I've hired them to do additional work in and around our house-- more painting, replacement of floor tile, and work on our exterior fence. Will likely hire them to powerwash/stain our deck, too. They're very accessible and responsive, as well.

EDIT: I wrote a more detailed review here 11 days ago, but I got a Cease and Desist letter from a…read morelawyer representing Gust, so I took down the details they contested in the letter because I've decided I don't want to waste the time, energy and money, nor experience what I feel would be emotionally damaging to relive with this company in court. I hired Gust to install hardwood flooring in one of my rental units, which began falling apart immediately, without anyone ever occupying the unit (i.e., no furniture, just people walking through once in a while to estimate other work). I was told by Gust that it didn't need glue because it was a floating floor. However, the manufacturer's instructions were that it needed to be glued at the tongue and groove (which I verified after the install). Because that mistake was egregious, and because of how I felt about my interactions with them since planning the project in August until they installed the floor in January, I decided they didn't seem competent enough to come back and fix the floor. So at the point that I discovered that the floor had been installed incorrectly, I requested that they provide references that would prove successful work of this kind or that they subcontract to someone with references (though I recognize I obviously should've done that before I hired them). They ignored that request, instead asking that I meet with them at the unit to discuss how to fix the floor. In my opinion, that was unnecessary, since they had already admitted (in writing) to assuming incorrectly that the installation didn't require any glue even though the vendor's instructions were clear that it did require glue. They also suggested using a tape-like product in lieu of adhesive, but I contacted the vendor, who said that was inappropriate, so I decided not to allow them to do it. Instead of arguing this further with them and/or giving them a chance to redo the work (or possibly screw it up even worse), I chose to pay someone else to completely undo and redo the work they did. I've been investing in real estate for years and have dealt with many contractors. In my opinion, Gust Renovations was unprofessional and incompetent and I exhort you to find another contractor AND to ask for and thoroughly investigate references for any contractor you engage with.

I had gotten three price quotes from different painters, and this painter agreed to match the lowest quote that I received. We did have some communication delays during the quote process. In addition, I was not told which brand or color of paint would be used until the last minute. I just happened to have a color swatch for the brand of paint that this painter would use, so I was able to select the color that I wanted, although I did not have time to test it on my walls first. Nonetheless, the paint job of the walls, trim, and ceilings ended up looking good. My husband, in-laws, and realtor complimented the painter on the paint job. One reason why I chose this business for the painting was because it is a husband-and-wife team, with the husband doing the painting and the wife doing the cleaning. If there was a delay with the painting, it would be easier to coordinate the scheduling of the cleaning. After the painting was done, the wife cleaned the entire house. I would recommend this business for a reasonably priced and high-quality painting and cleaning job. Just make sure to get all details in the written estimate well before the job starts.

As a real estate agent, it's so important to work with well known and trusted local businesses. He offered an estimate for my clients (who are out of state so I was the primary contact locally) with broken down numbers so they could see the options. They opted for an entire condo painting job, and it gave the home a fresh look but still a blank canvas for new owners. When I realized there was a bit of drywall dust residue on the floors Carlos made sure his team came back and cleaned. We had professional cleaners so this was imperative to make a great first impression on buyers. Super satisfied and will be working with MCK again soon!

I was very impressed with Blue Door Painting. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. The only reason I…read moream not giving 5 stars is that the paint could have been scraped a little better off the windows. That's really nit-picky, but in my book, you have to be perfect for 5 stars. I called Blue Door because we had chipping lead paint on two windows in what is to become my son's room. Anna at the office was able to do an estimate over email (I sent pictures) within 24 hours. Anna was knowledgeable, polite and efficient. Then, they were able to schedule the work for the next business day. In order to facilitate quick turn around, I went to their office in N. Arlington, which is conveniently located, to sign the paperwork. The morning of the work a lady came with the painter to translate instructions and help him get set up. He fixed our busted window, removed the chipping paint and painted all the rest of our trim with three coats. He did all the work using the EPA lead paint certification guidelines (he had to seal everything up and clean up really well.) The work was done well and the windows look better than I even expected. It was totally worth the money not to have to deal with our lead paint issue myself. Anna called afterwards to make sure everything was done to my liking. This was a small job and I plan to use Blue Door again. I'll re-post afterwards.

0/10 - do not recommend to anyone for anything…read more Terrible experience with this contractor. They were hired to do tile flooring in our kitchen. A crew came out Jan 24th, "completed" the job in 1 day. Tiles were terrible cut, grout was cracking and falling out, trim was barely hanging on. Horrendous job. After much back and forth, they finally came out 5 weeks to fix their terrible work. I was told they would come out to do the work and it would take 1-2 days. It ended up taking them a week, Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday, to re-do the job. Some days were no call no shows, leaving us with plywood from the base construction of the building as our kitchen floors for that week. The job is still not completed as there are still areas of the flooring unfinished. Absolutely terrible work, and even worse customer experience. Would not recommend to anyone looking to have any kind of work done.
