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!

I tried to post this review on Angie's list, but they don't accept negative reviews. I hired Cole…read moreHutton several month ago to paint the main floor and a hallway with the staircase in my townhouse. His price was high, but he was available right away and had recommendations. We agreed on the price and the scope of work and I left for 2 weeks. In about one week Cole told me that the work is finished. When I came back I found trash on the floor, partially covering paper on the floor and an open bag of trash sitting in the middle of the dining room. HVAC Registers and outlets covers still laying of the floor, paint on my bathroom sink, unfinished baseboards, cracks and sloppy painting over the dust and hair on the baseboards, railings, built in shelves, and doors. The hardwood floor had large visible stains that weren't there before. On the top of that Cole send me unexpected $500 invoice claiming that he had to paint the crown molding extra coat, which is a scam. When I addressed these problems to Cole he told me that I have to pay him extra $500 on the top of $4500 that we agreed. Also, he assured me before the work started that he would warn me in writing if any additional work would be needed (I have his e-mail). We went through every detail twice before he started. In his new invoice he added extra coat for the crown molding and the things that we already discussed, which was part of the original deal (take down an old chandelier and the speakers, etc). He said it's $1000 more, but he gives me a discount to $500. This is just a scam for more money. Cole did not prepare the walls for painting. He simply painted over the dust and debris that where on the walls and along the baseboards. It looks horrible! He didn't fix all the deficiencies and I ended up cleaning after him. The floor is ruined with large stains from the paint and probably the tape. Cole blamed another worker who worked upstairs in a bathroom, but that guy didn't use any paint. The floor is not scratched, it is stripped by a paint dissolvent and a taping scotch. Also, they used my vacuum cleaner and washed brushes in my bathroom sink instead of the utility sink in the garage. I can see the blue paint on my sink. Cole told me to scrape it off with my fingers. Cole, why don't you use your fingers. I don't think I should be scraping off the paint on my sink after I paid you $4500.

I had a 1,500 sq ft. loft style apartment with a dark blue interior, concrete / metal surfaces, and 15+ ft. ceilings which I wanted to paint white. This job was so daunting that it was rejected by multiple painters / small businesses. In fact, I received 4 separate estimates for my project and not only did John and his team offer a free estimate and reasonable final set fee, but they were also quick and enthusiastic to get started. The planning and contractual portion of the deal were all done very professionally. For example, receiving a proper invoice was quite refreshing. John was extremely responsive to my questions and direction via phone/email both in the planning stage and execution as he and his teammate, Benny, completed the job. First, John and Benny cleaned the entire apartment thoroughly. Any issues that they ran into while painting were immediately dealt with hassle-free and without adjusting the original estimate (e.g., if they needed more paint, different equipment, etc.). While painting, they were very mindful of my personal belongings ensuring there was no paint damage. They went above and beyond by fixing up a wall with paint streaks as a favor even though it was out of their scope of work. Along with being a skilled professional, John is extremely pleasant to work with, and he and his team's dedication to their clients is second to none. I typically skip the process of writing reviews, but the work is exceptional. Certainly a pleasure to do business with and I will hire M&J Professional Painting, LLC for my next painting or staining project.
