They hired Challenge to do the job which was accomplished in just over 3 days. They have a team of 9 very hard-working guys. 3 of them had Class A license to drive the two asphalt dump trucks. Everyone was busy most all the time. Their equipment is very good as is the work ethic; the men often working till 7PM of beyond. The quality was also excellent. I heard they charged the owners 45K, which to me was a bargain. Some of the mobile homeowners paid extra for extra pavement. I was happy to offer and pay $500 for expanded width and length driveway. I imagine my home value went up at least 10K due to the improvements. Thanks to foreman Joel and his team.

He found the ultimate cause of a significant leak (a valve stuck open in a hard-to-get-to controller under my back deck) and manually shut it off while he ordered a replacement. His team replaced several drip nozzles with micro-sprinklers, and swapped out some badly deteriorated lines for new ones. Everyone was friendly and super-efficient. At the end, Jorge returned to inspect everything (correcting a couple of very minor flaws) before declaring the job finished. All the work came with a one-year warranty. I wish we had a world where everyone had Jorge's attention to detail and commitment to excellence.

We thought when we hired this company that we were spending extra money but it would be worth it to…read moreget the job done and get it done well. Boy were we wrong! From the very beginning, we had issues which is why we had to fire them. 1) The drawings that you pay 5K for aren't actual drawings-its just a picture! 2) The drawings showed two fences on the sides of the back yard, but the bid only included one...which they let us know once one fence was already installed. 3) A chainlink fence we installed only went 3/4 of the way across the yard because that is all that was included in the bid! Again, we learned that it was too short after the fact and that we were supposed to pay an upcharge to have it go all the way across. 4) The design they had for the BBQ doesn't work and we had to relocate it to another area. 5) Their partial billing system is beyond annoying and over the top. 6) They talked us out of the pool deck we really wanted and put in pavers that we hated. They kept telling us they would look different after they dried, after the were cleaned, etc. We ended up tearing them out. The problem is they only provided one paver instead of many as a sample. I thought I was clear about the look we were going for but they just didn't get it. 7) But our biggest gripe (and that's saying alot!) is they did a bio retention basin in our back yard and it has never passed inspection. They assured us that they would make that happen but never did. We now have to pay our GC additional money because Clearview does not appear to know how to make inspections happen. In fact, we have had to pay to have that basin inspected a ridiculous amount of times. We finally decided they were never gonna pass inspection which is why I am writing this review. I do not recommend this company if you have a substantial project or any permits involved. I say that from a calm, thoughtful, responsive energy where I want to look out for potential customers. They cost us a lot of needless time and money.... even suffering! They don't listen to clients and they are not accountable for anything they do or don't do. In fact, at one meeting the owner Chris told me to stop complaining about the price of the project because it was distracting and not helpful! These are not guys you want to work with. Don't be tempted by the marketing like we were.

I have had Affordable Painting do two large jobs- both interior painting jobs. The first was a…read moregreat experience, which is why I hired them again after a good quote for the second job. Overall, for the second job the work was okay, and the experience was tough. We do have several spots where brush strokes can easily be seen, the sprayers seemed to spray air bubbles that left course spray-spots on our walls, and there are quite a few drips throughout the house. Also, one of our window sills wasn't painted white (which was agreed upon), and when we got the final walkthrough, Robert told us he would just send us what the paint was called because they ran out, and it would cost us about $50-60 to purchase (and we would have to do ourselves). They didn't take that off the final price, and I wish we had stood up for ourselves better. Lastly, I had to ask them to re-do a wall that was supposed to be re-finished after they said they were done and it had big bumps running up and down. Positively, they painted the interior of our door without being asked, and the paintwork on our trims that they did do was very nice (although a few spots have already chipped). I will say (and this is probably true for any painting job you get), read their contract very carefully. This was my mistake. I misunderstood some things like "okay, we're going to do semigloss on the walls, and ceiling, and baseboards"- in my head, that had meant they were doing our ceilings and baseboards white in a semigloss finish, but upon further examination (and after the job had already started), I realized the quote was actually for monotone ceilings, walls, and baseboards. Ugh. That was super disappointing. The people I worked with spoke VERY quickly, and in the craziness of purchasing a home and trying to make decisions, it was super hard to even understand what they were saying. I think they tried to be understanding, but mostly I felt like a thorn in their side just trying to understand things. Also, in tiny print at the bottom of the contract, it said they were not responsible for taking their own trash away at the end of the job. So, they left the huge trash bags outside and put our old smoke detectors into them, which of course went off in the middle of the night leaving our tenants to dig through them (with maggots) to find them. When I asked them to please take their trash (again, I didn't see this on the contract, my fault), they only came by to get the black bags and not the other white trash bags that held all the other paint-related trash that had spilled out while we fished for our smoke detectors. It was hard working with this team this time around, and some of it was my fault. But I was left feeling taken advantage of and sort of like, "I'm not a professional painter, why was I made to feel like I was the problem here?"
