Absolutely Terrible Experience - Avoid at All Costs…read more This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a contractor. The drywall work was sloppy and unprofessional--gouges in the joint compound, visible tape, entire sections missed, and thick, uneven corners that ruined the look of our newly remodeled kitchen. I had to point out spots he didn't even tape! He claimed the painter should finish sanding (not true), and lied, saying the primer would hide the flaws (it makes them more visible). Because of his poor work, we had to pay our painters extra to fix what he should have done right. He was also extremely disrespectful. When I pointed out issues, he reacted like a child having a tantrum--aggressively sanding while I stood nearby, covering me in dust. I looked like I was caught outside in the snow. I paid $2,500 for this nightmare and he told me when I was pointing out the "imperfections," that I was "nit-picking." He didn't put down any protection, and thank God we had tarps in place ourselves. But during his tirade, he kicked up the tarp sending more dust everywhere and all over the carpet. He also tried to float his own boat about how everyone says he is so clean all the time. And the most outrageous part of the entire ordeal? He made a blatantly racist remark, saying, "I hate Blacks and Indians." Absolutely disgusting. On top of it, he was referred to us by another contractor who had completed other work on our home. He was awesome and had impeccable workmanship. This sheetrock guy actually said that his work was sloppy! Some way to treat someone that gets you the job. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Now we were looking to bring this beautiful House to all its glory, so it meant a lot to us to stain the outside of it. We found Joe to not only be reasonable with his prices, but very polite, considerate, and listened to all our concerns. He showed up on the day that he said he would, and at a time that he stated he was with two other guys that worked for him. They finished the job in two days and it looked wonderful. He did a great job on picking the color with us and doing exactly like we needed, which was a lot because the house was not cared for in along time!

Our job was not overly complicated, several rooms to be painted, some wallpaper to be removed, and some cosmetic sheetrock repairs. Suffice to say we were very disappointed with how it turned out. To start, Joe did not discuss the job with us before he arrived regarding paint and color preferences, or any other aspect of the job. During the job there was little to no wall prep before paint went up, no taping, no removal of switch covers and the like and in one instance did not move a piece of furniture because it was "imbedded into the carpet". They seemed to have no regard for our personal belongings, they never once covered or took other steps to protect any of our furniture and even placed paint cans directly onto the surfaces. When we hired this crew, we did so with the thought that they were professionals, but instead felt we had to babysit them every step of the way. When we pointed out aspects of the project that we were concerned with they brushed us off. We thought that they would have what they needed to complete the job, but instead asked to use our tools and household appliances. Had we known the state our belongings would be left in, we would have never allowed them to use it. After they left each day we spent time cleaning up after them, our sinks were left filthy, and one even had scratches left in it. Our furniture had drips, smudges, and blobs of paint on them every day. At the end of the job the crew rushed out without giving us time to inspect the work done, and as a result we have spent time touching up what they sloppily painted and the places they didn't bother to paint at all. Suffice to say we would not recommend Joe Tamborra Painting Co. for your painting needs, or even trust him in your home. Carrie T. and Family

I have hired many painters in the past, but Fitzgerald's is by far the best I have encountered. I met with Chuck before the project began and he sent out a courteous crew of 3 to do the work. The crew treated my home as if it was their own. The crew started and finished in a timely manner. The paint and trim looks perfect and the crew cleaned up after the project. We are so delighted with the paint. Fitzgerald did an meticulous job and I am so happy with the results. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Most companies wouldn't even give me a quote because I wasn't the official homeowner. Not A1! Christian came out right away, did an incredibly thorough inspection, and later walked me through his detailed report and the 200+ photos he took. That level of detail gave me full confidence to move forward. I immediately signed to have the roof installed after closing. Five Stars for Christian! Then just days before closing, my bank suddenly required the roof to be replaced before they'd clear the loan. Total stress--until A1 stepped in. They coordinated with my attorneys and, within two days, had the crew replacing the roof. Moses, the project manager, was phenomenal--constant updates, hands-on management, and even local recommendations since I'm new to the area. When my realtor and I stopped by, we saw the crew's craftsmanship in action. The property was spotless when they finished, and the roof looks beautiful. Five Stars for Moses and his amazing crew! From start to finish--Christian's inspection, Moses' project management, and the hardworking crew--A1 delivered top-notch service. Even my realtor was so impressed she said she'll recommend A1 to her clients. If you want professionalism, integrity, and people who truly care, A1 Home Improvement LLC is the way to go. Will use them again when I need other projects completed.
