Andrew and Mason renovated my deck last fall and did a super job so I asked for a quote this spring…read moreon additional odd painting jobs, both inside and out. Andrew promptly responded giving me a reasonable quote and setting expectations on the timeline. He itemized each of the different tasks and we discussed everything in detail. He provided a copy of the bid, to which I agreed. He told me when to expect a call to start work and he was true to his word. I've worked with my share of contractors over the years who are good at their trade but bad on the business side (like communication, showing up when promised and finishing up on time), so it's refreshing to have someone who's good at both their trade and business. Andrew started with the tricky task of installing the closet handles I had ordered for five sets of closets in two of our bedrooms. We have a 75-year-old house in the Dillon-Fairacres neighborhood and like most old houses things aren't square. The old handles were too small and too close to the opening so he drilled new holes and put in wood filler where the old holes were, and then primed the holes so they were ready for painting (I had the paint on hand to use the next day). Andrew used a laser level so he could accurately put the holes in the exact right places from door-to-door and then he installed the new handles. It's level across all the closets now, which it wasn't before, and is such a great upgrade from what we had. I am really pleased with the overall new look. Inside, he also did some touch-up painting on nicks made over time on some of our antique white and dove white baseboards as well as with other trim in our stairwell. I asked him to prime/paint it with the old cotton q-tip painter's trick and it looks perfect. Next, he worked on the awning we have over our front door with sidelights. We had the awning custom-made years back and it works great to shield the door from the morning sun and UV rays. The Sunbrella fabric was still strong but faded and discolored; the frame for it was scuffed where I had ignorantly hung some hanging plants. I tried contacting the company who had made and installed it for us but they are now out of business. Andrew provided some guidance on finding some "fabric paint" of my choice online which I had no idea was an option. Turns out there is such a thing and that it's strong enough to be used on boats. He found a paint match for the metal frame and again I was thrilled at how he rejuvenated a part of our old house. He also cleaned up and painted the bottom part of our foundation behind a set of seven boxwood shrubs which had inadvertently been left unpainted down low when we added a new garage onto our house. It didn't stand out too awfully much but I knew it was there and it bugged me. I'm particular about my boxwoods in a Martha Stewart sort of way, lol, and I didn't want to ruin the "cloud" look each of them have. Because they are not grown as hedges, there are openings between them so that unpainted portion shows if you look. I trimmed them earlier and my husband tied them back but it was still a tight squeeze, so kudos to Andrew for working in that teeny space. A big thumbs up to Two Men and a Brush who I highly recommend (and I'm picky)!

He gave clear instructions on what I was expected to do vs. what he and his staff would handle. The project was promptly scheduled and completed to satisfaction.

I will continue to use them in the future for many more projects, no need to shop around.

They were really fair and honest, which I appreciate. Also, Juan, who did our drywall repair kept everything enclosed and so neat, you wouldn't have even known we had drywall done! I was very impressed with the company and the work! Would use again and recommend to others!

Do not subcontract for this company if you want to be paid for your work…read more We completed several jobs for ServPro "Team Toft" in Omaha, which now also operates in Sioux Falls. We have multiple outstanding invoices from over a year ago that remain unpaid. We experienced disputes over alleged workmanship issues that were not communicated to us during the projects, as well as situations where project managers requested additional work but payment was later denied because formal change orders were not completed. In our experience, provisions in their franchise agreement were repeatedly relied upon when disputing or withholding payment on our invoices. This had a significant impact on our small, family-operated business and left us with thousands of dollars in unpaid work and expenses. Based on our firsthand experience as a subcontractor, we would not recommend working for ServPro. If you do choose to work with them, we strongly recommend getting every change order, approval, and request for additional work in writing before proceeding--even if you are pushed to complete the work quickly or given verbal assurances that you will be paid. We would also recommend having the homeowner and project manager sign a certificate of satisfaction upon completion of your work. It may seem like a lot of extra steps, but having thorough documentation can help protect your business when it comes time to getting paid. Unfortunately, we were too trusting and did not take these additional precautions. We hope sharing our experience helps another small business avoid finding themselves in the same situation.

Beyond that the experience was not a good one. Ernesto said that they would get me an estimate either that night or the next day. He did not. After the holiday weekend I spoke with Ernesto on the phone regarding the missing estimate. He assured me again that it would be sent that night. I contacted him the next day via email again inquiring about the missing estimate. No reply. Since then he has not taken or returned my calls. If he didn't want to do the job I'd very much appreciate if he would have just said so instead of wasting a week of my time in trying to follow up on an estimate that clearly will not be delivered.

He was on time for the estimate--which was priced better than I expected--and provided details for what he would do. The estimate arrived in my email the next morning, and after a very thorough power washing, the job was completed once the deck dried (the staining was delayed one day for weather). All in all, it was about a week from the initial phone call to the bill, which I just paid online. Fantastic job! I have hired painters before, and I have never had an experience as good as this one! I highly recommend!
