The top half was broken badly and when he examined it properly he said that it couldn't be repaired.

Hinges and lock all slotted into place just fine. Really quality workmanship.

I have used him several times so far for key areas for woodworking projects on vintage restoration tables and doors; he has come out as winner in my opinion. He has a professional style and he is a talented individual that demonstrates unique precision skilled craftsmanship in the woodworking industry which is needed in key few restoration selected groups. I would not say a lot about genuine workmanship but with his experience as a skillful carpenter or journey master craftsman he has gain my confidence & respect.

One of many events that really led up to this…read morerating and I would even go lower is due to the fact that they left the site without installing all of the knobs because he didn't want to have to come back to finish. This caused the contractor to finish the job for them and yes, we are charged for it. The other issues were the cabinets not being even, the doors on the cabinets have intermittent gaps that were not equal to each other, a huge space between the wall and cabinet where the fridge would go, and uneven gaps from the ceiling to the top of the cabinet. Trim was placed to make it look good....but....it doesn't! There have been multiple issues and while they are ready to fix them, the mistake/issues should not have been made and seem to have been caused by rushing the job, incorrect measurements, or a lackidazicle attitude. I don't know which but it is very apparent in the completed/incomplete work performed. Had to speak with the owner twice and unfortunately, no ownership of mistakes made and pointed fingers at everyone else. Threatened to take his work down and go home had the conversation gone a different way. Avoid this fool and his business!!!

I had a terrible experience with Andy's painting. Prior to starting the job, I emphasized to the…read morecrew that we had recently installed new flooring in our home and that I was concerned about protecting the floors. I was assured that the floors would be covered during the duration of the project to ensure protection. Floor covering is specified in our contract but was not completed. Our floors were not covered. Instead, masking tape was placed on the floor in sporadic areas. I discussed this with our project manager Kris and the painting crew after realizing that they weren't going to cover the floors and again re-emphasied my concerns, however the floors were still not covered. The tape job was not adequate, and paint got all over the stairs and flooring. The crew attempted remove the paint using an abrasive orbital buffer and a sharp hand tool. This caused multiple steps to be scratched and gouged. The crew caused $622.08 worth of damage to our new flooring. Andy's website states "We perform the work. We do not subcontract our painting work. All our painters are employed by Andy's painting." The original painters and our project manager Kris both informed me on the first day that the crew were indeed sub-contractors. The painter said that it was only his second day working with Andy's. Obviously, this was frustrating and a willful misrepresentation by Andy's. We did not expect or agree to have the job subcontracted. Especially by someone who lacked the skill to complete the job. Areas that were not to be painted received paint. Including the stair risers, handrail and doors. The handrail was even painted a different color without my consent or prior knowledge. The lack of attention to detail was astounding. We had to babysit the entire project. I had to ask multiple times to have simple tasks like filling nail holes or having walls textured completed. All of these items were agreed to in our contract. However, there were constant excuses from the crew and attempts to cut corners. I was told "you probably don't need 2 coats of paint" and "you can't see those holes." ect. It was tiresome to have to repeatedly insist that they complete the job as we had agreed. The first crew was fired by the project manager after 2 days. In total, 3 different crews worked on our project trying to get it right. On the very first day I was told that the job would be completed in 1 day. The job ended up taking 5 days. The doors were painted using a sprayer in our driveway. The driveway was not protected properly and there was white paint sprayed all over our driveway. The doors were initially put back on wet causing the paint to be damaged, door hinge pins upside down, missing screws ect. The crew does not arrive on time. They were at least 30 minutes late on 4 different occasions. Multiple crew members told me that Andy's will hire anyone and that they don't check references or require any demonstration of proficiency or skill prior to be hired. Overall, it was a bad experience. I was expecting a much more professional experience and result. Andy's did agree to pay for the damage and did some additional work on removing the paint from our stairs and flooring. I would not recommend hiring Andy's Painting.

Great selection and patience with our considerations (in fact, Ryan came out for a site visit and pushed us to take home additional samples and really take our time considering what was going to be a longterm purchase) and the pricing was reasonable - maybe lower than expected for the level of service delivered. Following up along those lines, our installers were efficient, trustworthy professionals who did great work.

I'm not a master woodworker but I make some nice projects from turning bowls and urns to small boxes. Also made a glider rocker and cradle for new grand baby. Even though I'm not a pro I like to use good wood for my projects. At exotic wood I can get good oak, hickory, maple, walnut, padauk and other nice wood at reasonable prices. The staff is helpful and they will cut just what you need for your project. Can't get this wood or service at the big box stores. read more

The reason for only 4 stars is this: When we went to pick up the materials, she couldn't find our paperwork and our order was not ready.

I attached photos but Tom's advice, experience and constant attention are very appreciated. His crew of Orlando, Zach and Robert were polite, constantly measuring and checking on quality. Really transformed our new back patio and torn down and replace the front porch which had a leak going back years. Tom brought in quality contractors for work Groff doesn't do themselves. Julian for demo, stucco and cement. I could tell Tom and Groff's reputation during inspections and coordinating with others really paid off.
