Looks amazing! I am more than pleased with the job Fred Cook…read moreand his crew did, painting our home. They completed three rooms, entry and e hallways. His crew is amazing, they aim to please! They were polite, thorough and left my house cleaner each day than it was when they arrived. Completed the job earlier than we expected and checked every nook and crannie before considering the job complete. Fred also gave the job an inspection to assure his crew completed the job to his expectation. I highly recommend Fred Cook and his crew at Quickpaint. We won't use any other painter from this point on Thank you Fred, Victor, Terri, Santos and Devin......great people, great crew!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! AND SPREAD THE WORD!…read more The owner, Fred is a BS specialist. The "so-called" highest quality paint I could use on the exterior of my house started to fail (cracks appeared in stucco) in less than 2 years. He did a medocre repair of the cracks (covered them up) which returned the following year. His ads say 10 year warranty. A misprint? I think not. It's a purposeful misrepresentstion of a warranty! After a year year and a half of numerous unanswered voicemails and personal cell-phone messages asking (pleadingwith) him to please contact me ( I even left a written message requesting that he contact me with his crew who I happened upon painting another house in my community), the result was NO CALLS... NO STOPPING BY THE HOUSE. That's pretty cold. This is a dishonest businessman. I was duped. I have lodged a complaint with the licensing board. If I could, I'd give a "zero" star rating. Was forced to choose "one".

It has been difficult to get someone reliable for repairs or for small projects. Recently the…read moreplastic pipes for the outdoor automatic sprinklers broke. We had a inexperienced person dig out enough dirt to expose the pipes and attempted a fix that failed and created a bigger problem. Phil was able to respond within a few days. He dug out much more dirt, made the repairs and filled the hole with sand, replacing the rocks on top so the landscape was not changed and no mess or pile of dirt left behind. He gave us a quote that was fair before starting, he did not go over the quote. He gave us a much more detailed invoice than others have provided, plus he took time to explain the problem and best solution and took before and after pictures We will call him for our next project or repair.

I had already purchased the material to do the repair at the apartment. Phil showed up at the apartment at 8 AM. The blind I had purchased was the wrong item and Phil offered to exchange it and return to the apartment and install it. This one hour job turned into a 6 hour job. I believe his charge of one hour to go to Home Depot was fine. I thought 3 hours would be more than fair to complete this job. Phil charged me for 6 hours of work totaling $370. This is an extremely excessive and expensive charge.

We are very happy with the end result of having Our TV family room repainted. Johnathan stripped…read morethe ugly popcorn ceiling from two rooms, fully prepped and spray textured all the ceiling in the two rooms. He painted all the walls and added in the hallway for no extra cost to make it all tie together beautifully! We also hired him to install lighting fixtures. We're very happy with the (canned) recessed lighting and ceiling fan. * You can't see the ceiling fan in this picture. Johnathan is doing a great job handling the family business after his dad passed a few years ago. It's taking him time to keep it all going. He was very busy but communicated well and was a perfectionist in all the little details. I highly recommend him, although he had a poor review recently. Be aware that he's just one guy working hours around the clock.

I initially tried spraying both the exterior and interior myself, but quickly realized I was in…read moreover my head. Jonathan stepped in, provided estimates, and spent a considerable amount of time correcting the mistakes I had made. The quality of his work was great, and he clearly has the skills. I also appreciated how flexible he was with pricing, his willingness to accommodate additional requests as the project progressed, and the time he took to explain things and teach me along the way. The biggest issue was the timeline. The project took 2 months longer than expected, and there always seemed to be a reason why deadlines couldn't be met. Communication was good at first but became less consistent over time, and eventually it became difficult to get timely updates. Some of the items originally discussed were never fully completed, while attention sometimes shifted to work that wasn't part of the original scope. Because of the repeated delays, I ended up doing a significant amount of the cleanup and finishing work myself. Overall, I appreciate Jonathan's craftsmanship, flexibility, and willingness to help salvage a project I had started on my own. However, I wish he had been able to follow through more consistently on the commitments and completion timelines that were discussed.

Not only did Eric have the vision to see what we were looking for, he was patient with all of our ideas and was able to make a good deal of our dreams come true.

I hired Mark to handle all of the plumbing on a high-end bathroom remodel. This was a challenging…read moreproject for several reasons: The client has an acute attention to detail, and is selective about whom she'll allow in her house. The fixtures were all to be moved to new locations, and replaced with all very expensive (and often complicated) Kohler parts. The city building department is notoriously picky and difficult to please. The time line required major flexibility, and the budget was tight. Mark came to look at the job, and promptly submitted a very reasonable proposal. I was impressed with how personable he is, and I got the feeling that he'd do excellent work. I decided to hire him, and gave him an approximate start date. Murphy's Law struck several times as the demolition was underway, and I had to move the start date back more than once. Mark was more than accommodating. When the space was ready, Mark came to the job site, fully prepared with all the right tools and materials, and worked long days to help us get back on schedule. When a question was raised about building codes, Mark would do whatever research was necessary to make sure everything was in compliance. During the course of the rough-in, Mark found a couple of existing leaks in ABS drain/waste/vent pipes, and fixed them at no additional charge. One vent pipe ended up being in the way of a recessed lighting can I needed to install. I had failed to inform Mark about its location, so it was entirely my fault, but he moved it for me without complaining or even charging me for the extra time. When it came time for the trim and fixture installation, Mark followed very complex and confusing instructions on the Kohler products. More than once, he called customer service for clarification, or to point out mistakes in their own product literature! I was amazed at his level of attention and patience. On this job, anything out of place could have been disastrous. A mistake could have required tiles to be broken out, or worse. Mark made sure everything was right. He had to make an extra trip out to install some faucets, because another subcontractor screwed up a vanity top installation. Mark took it all in stride. Another benefit to having Mark on the job site, is that he is so knowledgeable about other trades. For example, he had insight into a problem I was having with routing a furnace B vent. He also has experience with energy efficiency, home performance, insulation retrofits, and I get the impression that he considers "the big picture" whenever he's working on a house-- how all the different systems are interrelated. Someone with that level of awareness is such an asset on a construction site. I would not hesitate to hire him again. In fact, he'll be the first person I call whenever I need a plumber.

Mark Menard was hired for our fairly complex 1000 sq ft 3 level redwood deck w/ iron railing…read morerebuild. The project was started approaching the rainy season because the first contractor we hired bombed on us at the last minute after 6 weeks of communications. We hired Mark thru Porch.com with hopes to get the deck completed hopefully before the rains hit to hard so we could get the redwood stained, which we did. Mark was easy to work with, and has just enough of a perfectionist streak to insure the work was done to a high level of quality. He did the entire tear-out with a small crew, obtained the necessary permitting from the Town of Paradise, installed a very strong substructure including new concrete piers much stronger than the ones in the original deck we were replacing. All cut ends of pressure-treated substructure were appropriately saturated w/ wood preservative. We opted to stain the deck ourselves, and as a side point we obtained redwood from Berco Redwood Co in Sacramento--they supplied excellent redwood at a better price than local resources, on time w/ minimal delivery charge and I would use them again. Upon final inspection & clean up the town inspector was clearly impressed. Mark is skilled in multiple disciplines, electrical and plumbing. He had ready access to adequate support helpers, both semi-skilled and skilled, and utilized them to keep the project moving as fast as possible. The bid price was fair, and in fact we felt so happy with the outcome we felt compelled to give Mark a sizable tip for his excellent work ethic and workmanship.
