I have been trying to re-stain my bedroom door for a while now and finally had to accept that…read morealthough I am good at a number of things in life, this was not one of them. I was sanding down the parts of the door that my dog had scratched, re-stained the entire door multiple times allowing lots of time between coats, and it just kept drying as a patchy, unsightly mess. It doesn't sound like much but it's on the main floor of my single-level house and I was embarrassed when people would visit and have to pass by it on the way to the restroom. I searched on Yelp, as I always do, for a professional to do this job and I really liked Josh talking about the mission of his company to provide for his son, along with his excellent reviews, so I reached out. He was super responsive and was able to provide me with a quote based on photos. His quote was based on a per hour rate which always concerns me a bit because you can get contractors taking advantage of that and artificially extending their time, but he gave me a range of expected hours and said the job would not go more than $350 regardless of how much time he spent. I appreciated that upfront approach and we agreed on a day for him to start. He came over two days to do the main part of the job and I could see why it took so long as he really did it properly, sanding the door down to the dry wood and starting from scratch, which obviously was my mistake and took a whole lot of time. He did the job very professionally, removing the door from the hinges and setting it up on stands in my garage. After the door was completely dry, he planned to stop by an extra time for just a couple of minutes to put it back on its hinges, and we encountered a problem where the door, which is very old, had come apart a bit at the edges from the sanding and wouldn't close once put back on. Josh was completely unwilling to accept this as an end result and took it off again to address the problem using wood glue and clamps. Including drying time, this resulted in a couple of extra visits to my home at no extra charge, simply because he wanted to make sure the job was worthy of his five-star reviews. I was impressed with his work and his work ethic, and he more than deserves that five-star review. I won't hesitate to hire him in the future. Thanks, Josh!

Josh did an amazing job on my nursery. Definitely will be calling again for future projects.read more

Chad provided a fair offer for a large job, and he and his team of workers did an excellent job throughout the process.

He happily answered my questions and ensured that I understood the work being done. Chad is a master of his craft and a true professional.

My wife and I purchased a new home in early January '19 and we knew that the first order of…read morebusiness was fresh paint on every wall and ceiling throughout the home. I had no idea where to start, so I consulted some contractor friends, and strangely enough Dan de Priest's name kept coming up. As it turned out, there was very good reason for all the recommendations. When Dan and I first met, I knew I was dealing with a guy who embodies that old-school Pittsburgh honesty and integrity. There's something to be said about a tradesmen who stands by his word, and it became clear that Dan is one of the few guys left who honestly takes pride in his work and is satisfied more by a job well done than the money for which he works so hard to earn. Throughout the process of the job, Dan and his crew were courteous, professional and maintained regular communication. In fact, there were a few unforeseen challenges left behind by previous painters of lesser caliber that resulted in slight changes of course and we were always consulted before any action was taken. Even though these hidden issues caused more work and time for his crew, he honored his original quote. No matter the challenge, Dan knew how to make it right. As I mentioned, Dan took the job in January and he only had 12 days to complete the entire project. Even when schools and businesses were closed due to a snow storm and roads were practically impassable, those guys were here every day until the work was finished. The end result is spectacular. Our 20 year old home looks brand new - the walls are pristine and the lines on every corner and edge are razor sharp. Again, they're true professionals in every way. I can't recommend Daniel De Priest highly enough. He's trustworthy, highly detail oriented, fair, and he stands behind his work. You will not regret hiring these guys.
