Jay and his crew painted my bathroom 2 years ago. I was thrilled with the results, so I had him back to paint the kitchen cabinets. Jay fine-tuned my color ideas using accent colors already in the home. He has a keen eye for colors and his suggestions have turned out fantastic. The kitchen looks beautiful, the work is quality with attention to detail. His crew is very respectful, fast and efficient. All work was completed according to schedule and on time. I highly recommend MAAK Services, 5 stars. read more

can't express enough how much of a crook this "owner" Jay Gomez is. He completely screwed me and my ex-wife when we retained his services through Angi's List when we were selling our house. He partnered with Coldwell Banker (another scam), and we hired him to do some work on our crawlspace, and to also paint the inside of our house. He not only DID NOT do the work in our crawlspace that he was supposed to do, but he charged us $700 more because he said that there was so much more wrong with it than he originally thought. When we got inspections done, it was always flagged for the crawlspace. Also, everytime he would contact us he would always claim that there was a new problem that he found with the house, and that it would be a lot of money to fix. He told us we needed a completely new roof (we didn't even contract him to look at the roof.) He then said it would cost $6,000 to do what's called a layover. Well, my ex and I reluctantly agreed at first for him to do that, until a few days later when he then said it would be $8,500 and then lied and said he never told me $6,000. I can not express how much I hate this person. He is the biggest crook in the treasure valley, and I can only pray I see him again one day to tell him to his face. He threatened to put a mechanics lien on our house if we didn't pay him an extra $1,000 for what he called lost time. Trust me, this guy is bad news. He is a thief. He has no morals, no education (his emails look like a 3rd grader is writing them), no values, is dishonest, and is completely rude. We lost so much money from this moron, but I'm writing this review to hopefully save some poor home owner from getting robbed from this guy. read more

Original Post Initial contact was good but now as time has passed I am feeling like the red headed step child. Jesus(Jay) the owner took my deposit and after that things have gone down hill. My home was power washed and in the process two security cameras were damaged. I alerted Jay and received no response. After a follow up he quickly wrote he would take care of it. I have yet to be reimbursed however he is quick to tack on additional costs to my invoice. I was told his crew would be out this morning and they were a no show. No follow up to alert me to any delays or issues. I finally call Jay at 4pm and there is no apology, just excuses and told they were on the way. It's two hours later and I have not heard from or seen anyone. I have read the owners reviews for other businesses and clearly expects professionalism and good service, however in my case is failing to hold to that standard for his own business. If anything changes I will update my post. Update - 8/22/21 The good news, the work is done and it turned out great. I did have to set the standard otherwise I don't think the same result would have been achieved. I was given credit for the damaged cameras. Overall there was good communication. The crew are good workers and work well together. The bad news, they put the wrong color on the body and the owner tried to put blame on me despite having everything in writing and discussing it on the phone. We compromised and chose a different accent color to keep the owner from having to take a big hit. The crew does not speak English, it was difficult at times to communicate with them and I have some knowledge of Spanish but just enough to get by. They have a bad habit of dumping paint and the brown water from cleaning the spray machine in the grass. I mowed my lawn today, pushed the mower threw a hidden pile of paint, the wheels and my shoes were covered in paint. By the time I realized it I had paint tracks everywhere. They got paint on our plants and rocks. They trampled my low lying plants and left paint on the decorative curbing and porch. I had to get out there with a wire brush and scrub it out. We had to sweep up, pick up left over trash, and get rocks back in the beds, something they should have done. They left in a hurry and didn't tell me they were leaving. read more

I'm so happy that I found Jay with Maak Services. I was getting quotes from different companies to fix a few issues before painting my house and shed. I told him the same things I had told the others; I needed the trim around my windows to be fixed and I wanted certain angles because I thought it would look nicer. I also had piece of siding where the seam was directly underneath the front spigot and I wanted the seam to be hidden like the other seams. The men that I'd talked to before Jay all said yes to the angles of the window trim and they'd said no they couldn't fix the siding seam problem. Jay came over and said no he wouldn't change the window trim the way I wanted because it would allow water to seep into that area, possibly causing future problems down the line. He also said yes to the trim and said that it wasn't a big deal to correct that issue, it would just take a few hours to fix it. I have to admit, right there he had my trust! When it came to painting my house, he took the time with me to have several conversations. We did a few walks around the house before the painting. We talked about the paint and trim colors and where he thought the trim color should go and why. I felt confident about the colors I had chosen as I had taken his advice, buying a little can of the paint colors I thought I wanted and painting large areas in the back of the house. The morning of the painting, he came over and we did our final walk around. I know he was there a few times during the day to check in with his crew. When they were done, Jay and I did another walk around so could both look for things that might have been missed. He said that if I came across anything in the next few weeks to let him know and he'd be happy to come by to take a look. If an area needed an extra coat he'd be happy to make it right. My house looks amazing! I really appreciate Jay's attention to the details, his communication and his hands on approach. I finally have a person /company that I can trust and will be calling for my future contracting needs. I highly recommend him and his company!! read more
