We needed our house painted on a weekend and he was there on a holiday weekend. We were expecting a weekend rate but was pleasantly surprised.

He's only charging us for labor.

We went with Metro West Best because they understood the high end nature of the project, had competitive pricing and were trustworthy. They were able to start immediately and completed the job in short order. Along with the painting, they custom built and installed beautiful wainscoting to really finish the room. We were impressed with their professional approach and meticulous work achieving beautiful results. Most of all, we trusted them in our home. Highly recommended for interior painting and light carpentry.

Paul helped us remove a stuck broken dishwasher without destroying our island, something the…read more"professional installers" could not seem to do. While this work did not involve a lot of carpentry, I'll share that Paul was: - Incredibly responsive. He answered my call asap and came the next day to help as planned. - Persistent. This thing was really stuck and Paul would not give up. He got it out after an incredible amount of work. - Courteous. Paul cleaned up everything after the job very thoroughly. - Went the extra mile. Paul noticed that we were missing a plug on our disposal so he drove to the hardware store, bought one, and came back to install it, saving me the trouble. All of this speaks to Paul's character and work ethic. Should I have any carpentry work, I would not hesitate to call Paul. In fact, now that I have his number, I'm dreaming up carpentry jobs!

Examined everything carefully -- literally got down on his hands and knees to look at the concrete and the foundation around the door. Poked at everything, took measurements. You could immediately tell that this was someone who really *cared* about the job, and about the work he was doing. He told me what kind of door I needed to get, I picked one out, he said "That one is too expensive for what you need!" and suggested a couple other doors. He's the expert! It was perfect. He even picked up the door for me from Home Depot for no extra charge. Not only that, but his estimate was lower than any of the other three estimates I got for the same job! I was so happy with the door, I hired him to rebuild my front porch a month later. It was fantastic. Same attention to detail, excellent craftsmanship. He noted some issues with the support structures for the existing porch (the thing was about to collapse!), offered a couple options for rebuilding it and installing new concrete and rebar -- the cost overruns were only 8% of the total project. I went from having the worst porch in the neighborhood, to having the best porch. Seriously, this guy is a steal. Really knows what he's doing, cares about the work, and he's super nice and friendly! I've hired tons of contractors for work on my house and I still can't believe he actually exists.

Jobs were fairly priced, not on the high or low end. He was nice and seemed knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the above was the extent of my good experience with this company. We wanted to initially move forward with 2 jobs at our place, totaling about $9,000. Upon completion of these 2 jobs, we had another 2 bigger jobs coming in which, based on previous quotes, would have been about around $100K total. If our experience would have been good, we would have chosen them for these other 2 jobs. Unfortunately, this was our experience that made me waste 2 weeks of my time that I could have used to perform the work already: 1. When we told Tony we were ready to move forward and asked for a contract, he didn't have any templates to provide so I asked if he was OK with me drafting one. He agreed to it. 2. After spending time drafting a standard contract for both of our protection, indicating payment timelines, guarantees, proof of insurance, and work to be performed, we received a text saying he doesn't want to go through all this trouble. OK... I wouldn't do any job without licensed and fully insured contractors so, if they can't prove that, I don't move forward. Better safe than sorry! 3. Then I got another text apologizing and saying that they can take the job and just asked for a minor change in the contract before signing it, which was related to the payment. I made the change and I also offered him to provide any template he feels more comfortable with if there was any concern. He confirmed there were no other concerns or changes he wanted to make. 4. I sent him the updated draft to be signed, then he came back saying that the warranty request was "silly". I initially suggested 20 years because that's what other contractors offered. In order to make it work, I asked him what he feels is fair and feels comfortable with. At this point, his answer was that he doesn't want to go through all of this for a job. To date, I am still trying to figure out what was exactly the issue: do they have insurance? are they fully licensed? do they know how to perform the job I was asking for and feel confident with their workmanship? If the answer to all these questions is 'yes', then I do not understand the reason why they wouldn't want a contract for both, my and their protection. The only thing that comes to mind is that either of the questions above comes with 'no' for an answer, and/or they are choosing the jobs where they will make more profit. They made me waste 2 weeks of time and I now have to start over looking for a contractor, or just take a couple of days of and do it myself. With respect to the other $100K projects, I will look for a company where that provides a signed contract like any serious business.
