Chris painted most of our 1,800 sq ft 1910 house this past summer and did a stellar job! Not only…read moredid he paint walls, ceiling, and trim, but he also repaired drywall defects, patched large holes in the ceiling, and sanded walls in all rooms. The walls and ceiling look amazingly smooth, practically like the walls of a brand new construction rather than a 100+ year old house! He also was so considerate and accommodating and a great communicator. His high-quality workmanship paired with his kindness and dependability made us feel very lucky to have found him. He also worked well under less than ideal circumstances. We were doing major electrical renovations and as a result only a few outlets worked in the entire house. For a large part of the project we had no working air conditioner and it was very hot outside. Without any complaints, Chris made it work, despite hardly any lighting or cool air or outlets for fans! We are really pleased with the results.

A crew came and covered my lawn with compost and seed in October of 2017. When spring of 2018 arrived, I had a lawn of dandelions and not much else. I was told in a voice message that they would keep at it until I was satisfied. I had not answered the phone so I had a recording of their reply. I was told various reasons by various people why their first attempt did not take. Since I understood that they would be working on my lawn, I hired them to mow and trim so that they would not have to coordinate their work with another mowing service. They received two stars based on the quality of their lawn maintenance service. For the most part, it was done well but there was always places that were not trimmed and aspects of the service that were requested but were inconsistently performed. Come October of 2018, their second attempt at my lawn took place. It was done quite differently than the first application but I was told that this would be successful. Spring of 2019 arrived and some grass finally showed itself but there were many bare spots. Once again I contacted them and was told that they would be working on it. With the exception of an aeration, nothing else seemed to be done. Once again I hired them to mow and trim. At no time did I see any type of work to improve the condition of the lawn. On October 1st, I contacted them and said that apparently they feel they have done all they could so their work at providing a lawn was over. I was told that they were just about to come and do something. At that time I also told them that I no longer needed their mowing and trimming services. Again, that was October 1st. Instead, unbeknownst to me, they were continuing their weekly mowing service. I contacted them and reminded them that I had terminated that service on 10/1. I was then presented with an invoice for four weeks of mowing service that was done after I had specifically cancelled. Between the lawn treatments and the mowing services, I have spent thousands of dollars and have very little to show for it. Draw your own conclusions. Photos will be added as soon as I can transfer them from my cell phone.
