Well, as an owner of semi-historic rowhome in Old City, I'm naturally very wary of who can perform work/improvements to my house. I've gone through a myriad of contractors (both good and bad) to either update my spaces or return others to their 19th century splendor. I usually depend upon word of mouth recommendations, and that is how I came to meet Gregg from Diamond Painting. I called Gregg to set up an estimate, and he was prompt, on time, well spoken and professional. Believe me, that's a huge plus. Many contractors seem to have a disdain for their potential customers.
I needed both the interior and exterior of my home repainted, and I worried a bit about the price. I needn't have been. Gregg and I sat down for close to two hours discussing possible projects. What a treasure trove of knowledge about, not just painting, but historical and architectural details that this man has. I felt that I was in good hands.
After discussing the price, (which, by the way, was very reasonable), I contracted Diamond Painting to do my work. We scheduled the job to begin in three weeks. Gregg called me every week to make sure to see if there were any changes. (There were. I asked him to do a few other small jobs, which he was only glad to accommodate).
In three weeks, Gregg and his crew showed up, on time, professionally dressed in clean whites, and ready to go. He spoke to my neighbors to give them a heads up on the work to be done. Nice touch!
I won't go into all the work that was done, but I will say that Gregg and his painters were on time every day. They were quiet (no blaring radios!), clean, and very respectful. Now, normally, I don't trust anyone in my house without me being there, but I had no qualms about Gregg's crew.
Now, I know that all this is nice, but the important part is the work. All I have to say is...OMG!! My partner and I have never seen our home look so beautiful! It was so exciting to come home from work every day and see the beauty unfold before our eyes.
Another thing. This seems like a small detail, but what made the job was the attention to detail that Gregg offered. There were many instances, so I'll just point out one. I had Gregg reglaze my windows. It was a messy, greasy job. Imagine my surprise when I walked up my street and saw his crew washing my windows! Now, who does that?
Would I recommend Diamond Painting to my friends? A resounding YES!!!
Thank you again Gregg! read more
