I asked for a schedule for completion and was given none. I asked for the date when Owen would come by the house to start the job and was not given an exact date. When Owen did arrive, he complained to me about the difficulty of removing the paint on the deck. He then mentioned he had to wear a hazmat suit and use so much paint thinner that he had chemical burns on his arms. I informed Owen that it is his responsibility to follow safe handling of the chemicals for the job. He then stated that he would have to get back to me after talking with Alex. Weeks went by and I had to reach out to Alex to get an answer. Alex then stated that they would need to add $400 to the initial quote in order to complete the job. I agreed to this change order. Weeks later yet I received an email from Alex stating that they would need to rent an industrial sander to remove the paint on our deck and that was estimated at $100 per day above the $400 change order. This was unacceptable and I terminated the job, asking for the remainder of my deposit check back. It has been two weeks as of 7/22/17 since I have heard anything from Alex or Owen. I am beyond dissatisfied. Do not use this company.

5 stars is not enough! I cannot say enough good things about Ackerman's Furniture. From the moment…read morewe walked in with our well-loved, definitely well worn rocking chair to the day we left with the beautifully restored family heirloom, we were treated with kindness and given ample options and time to make the decisions we needed as a family to make sure our chair was restored with the respect it deserved. Only a true craftsman can take a piece as old as this was and as worn as this and take 3 people's input and visions and turn that into a work of art able to take your breath away. This chair is at least 50 years old and from New England. That is all we know. It was passed down in the family. If anyone knows of where it might have came from please contact us! In the meantime, use Ackerman's for anything you need restored. They put their heart into their work!

I had Mark and his son come out and clean my residential carpets and was really impressed with the…read morequality of the cleaning that they provided. I have Berber carpets which were in good condition but had a lot of staining and they were able to resolve all of my problems. Interestingly enough they do NOT move furniture, but they told me that ahead of time and I had plenty of advance notice to move things out of the way which enabled them to get to all the corners of every room. They took their time, did a great job, protected the corners of the walls where the hose was being run to other rooms, and did a great job of cleanup. Highly recommended!

Corey and his crew from Fresh Finish Painting are the real deal. Their work was amazing and…read moreprofessional. They called me to set up an estimate, and then showed up on time. They showed up to work on the job when they said they would, painting my exterior with precision and care and stayed on the job until it was completed. This home is a three story Victorian with areas that are not easy to reach, and intricate trim that is unusual. They were professional, competent, and skilled at their craft. They were considerate by caulking joints that needed it, pointed out issues I could not see from the ground on my three story home, and completing the work to my expectations. The price was very reasonable and they did a walk around to confirm the work. They have a small town "responsible for their work" value system that left me feeling that they were trustworthy and honest. They were careful with my exterior plantings. The work they did has added to the value of my home but it was done with such ease that I wish I could have them do all of the maintenance work (plumbing, electrical etc) as it was so easy for me, and that is not my usual experience. I have contracted with them to do interior work, and would be ok with them in my home when I am at work based on the care they showed for my property. As a woman, I am thrilled to work with craftsmen who show respect for me and my instructions. Corey and his crew are so professional and respectful that I would recommend them to my elderly female relatives with confidence that they would be treated well. I confidently recommend them to anyone who has exterior or interior painting needs as of their competence, straight-forward approach, professional and courteous interactions, that are done in a timely manner with customer service as their motto. I was fortunate to have them beautify my home. Check out their website to view some of the work they have completed.

He does dry wall if needed for ceilings and walls then paints them to look wonderful. He created a very fresh look with his work which now shows off the beauty of my home. He is great working with women or older customers as he has a kind and cooperative manner. He showed up on time and worked until he finished the job. He was willing to do research on unusual requests and aims to please. The rates he charges are very competitive, and after he did the exterior I had many neighbors ask for his number. He is the real deal of being a craftsman with the work he does. I would hire him again and do so knowing it would be stress free.

They scheduled our quote really quickly, which was nice. Once we accepted the quote, it did take a bit to hear back (I followed up a couple of times via email) to schedule. The paint crew just left after completing the job and it looks amazing! They were super polite & friendly, & asked for clarification on a couple of things, rather than just assuming. The job was done before noon &, other than the new paint color, it looks like they were never here. All in all, I'd say we got some bang for our buck & would hire these guys again!
