Not an easy job and unfortunately needed because of a goof-up by the original installer.

While I was initially very satisfied with George's work, unfortunately a serious flaw revealed…read moreitself after about a year. The tile beneath the shower door was not installed correctly, and this led to water slowly leaking into the baseboard anytime we used the shower. After a year, mold and mildew began to rapidly grow. After getting a consultation, the conclusion was that since the tile was not installed correctly, water did not drain from the surface properly, leading to the damage you see pictured here. I reached out to George, as our contract stated that he would fix any issues resulting from his work within 4 years after completion of the original project. Thankfully, he agreed to fix the issue after inspecting the problem in person. If George had simply fixed the tile right after his inspection, I would have no need to update this review. But unfortunately, what happened next is why I need to lower my rating. After George had agreed to fix his work, it took over 1 year to get him to come back to my home and fix it. I would send him multiple emails, texts, and phone calls trying to schedule time for him to come fix the shower. He would ignore the messages for weeks on end. And when he did respond, it would be to tell me that he was traveling, or was not available at my suggested times. When I finally managed to get time with him, he would make many comments about how he felt like the issue wasn't really his fault and that he just wanted to get done ASAP. He gave me the impression that he didn't want to make things right, but that he just wanted to fulfill his contractual obligation and be done. I did not feel like a priority to him, and it was likely because there was no money to be gained from fixing his mistake. George's fix unfortunately led to another issue. Our baseboard was replaced, and the tile was adjusted. However, since the tile needed to be adjusted at an incline to allow the water to drain, the positioning of the shower glass needed to be shifted up to give it space to open. The shower door is now misaligned with the other side of the glass. An issue that can't be fixed unless we buy a whole new shower glass door. While I am still very appreciative of George's original work, I will likely need to make significant updates to this bathroom in the future. And I will not be using GT General Contractor this time around.

Being a Realtor in the Fremont area I was fortunate to have represented a client who had several…read moreproperties in the area he wanted to sell. All were outdated and so the plan was to upgrade each property then bring them to market one at a time. It was my job to find an honest, knowledgeable, reliable General Contractor. I had interviewed several. I chose to work with George and GT General Contractor. His knowledge of the Local Building Codes stood out to me. He also had reasonable pricing. Together we worked out a contract where I would determine the upgrades, select and purchase appliances, fixtures, flooring and all major materials on behalf of my client and George would provide the minor materials and bring our vision to life. If it didn't work I could let George and GT General Contractors go and find another Contractor. It did work though. George was patient, his knowledge kept us out of trouble with the local code enforcement, He had the vision and the skillset to turn a blank canvas into something beautiful. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it was all Unicorns and rainbows, it wasn't. Every time a roadblock was in our path, George never lost focus of our final objective. So when we did pull up carpet and exposed some rotting of the subfloor or removed a section of drywall only to find some termite damage, an amendment to the original contract was created and on we went. After each house was completed I would list it on the market and every one brought a new "Highest Sale" in their neighborhood. That made me look good in my clients eyes. George and I did this 5 times over and I consider him a friend. I highly recommend George and GT Contractors if you are considering a remodel. I have since moved on from my real estate career but before I did I had sold my personal residence and who did I have help me remodel it? You guessed it. George and GT Contractors.

The crew leader for Jeff really made sure that the job was done right and they went above and beyond.

To be honest, Jeff's price was the same or higher than a couple other people, but you really pay for what you get. My neighbors told me some horror stories, and once I met Jeff and saw his proposal - I know The Paint Company was the one for me. See you in a few years Jeff!

I had two separate painters commit and flake on me. Then I found James and John Painting, and I'm…read moreso happy that I did. It's now John and his son Nico, no James. They walked the property, we talked some details, and they gave me a competitive bid. They started two weeks early. They pressure-washed, pulled nails, caulked, patched, scraped, and fixed up our house. That was A LOT OF WORK. Then they primed with rollers and painted with spray. It was funny because the primer had a bit of yellow in it, and it almost perfectly matched the color of the old house. I panicked but John calmly set me straight. They went back and with brushwork for the trim and touch-up, a three color job for us. OUR HOUSE LOOKS FIRE-TRUCKING GORGEOUS. I'm not allowed to use bad words here, sadly. The paint is thick and even with close attention to detail. The wood is smooth. It's all just so darned good. It was also an immense amount of work. A 2800 square foot ranch home, a separate ~2400 square foot split-level four-car garage with apartment above, a well house, and a fire pit. There was tall-ladder work on a hillside with eaves 30 feet up. John and Nico just plugged away at it like the true professionals they are. I'm so impressed. Plus they're a lot of fun to talk to. I've had good contractors and bad contractors. John and James Painting are the best, period. I'm sad that they're done and leaving.

I obtained four estimates, and this company is reasonable, especially considering that they make painting hassle free for the home owner.

Before hiring Meryl, the house was well worn (tired and dated). I hired Meryl to guide me through an extensive renovation AND to stage the home for sale. Meryl was amazing. Not only did she provide sage advice about which improvements we're worthwhile and which were not, she provided invaluable overnight in the work itself. No detail was too small. She kept the project on track, oversaw paint (interior and exterior), light fixture updating, wood floor refinishing, and a full kitchen remodel. Her ideas were fresh and aimed at the exact demografic that would be must likely to buy the house. She helped me select the perfect real estate agent and her easy going personality and credibility allowed her to provide welcome feedback to the entire team. I was at times overwhelmed by the fast pace of all the decisions i had to make, but a conversation with Meryl always put me at ease. One other thing I have to add is that Meryl understands budget constraints and strives to spend money in the most efficient way possible. My home sold in one day after listing - and for well over asking -- largely because of the amazing work of Meryl and her team. Not only would I hire them again - I would not hire anyone else. Period.
