I have a lot I want to say about Raynham House Painting, as they did such a terrific job and I feel they deserve a thorough review. I can honestly say that in my 11 years of owning a home, my experience with them was the very best in a long list of contractors I had hired since moving in. The job they did was great, but there were so many facets that I want to touch upon.
Professionalism: I called Raynham House Painting on a Friday and Steve was able to come out right away and look at the attic (I was in the process of having my attic finished by a different general contractor). We showed him a paint swatch we liked from Home Depot. He provided insight on how he felt the ceilings and trim should be painted to provide the right contrast with the paint we chose. I could tell he had a lot of industry experience and that he knew what he was talking about. He delivered the estimate on my front porch two days later (on a Sunday) and included a larger canvas with the color we liked in a Sherwin-Williams version. The color matched perfectly, and we were able to hold that canvas up to the wall to get a better idea of what the walls would look like. The estimate itself was less than a competing quote we received, and in the end, Steve took off $200 as they did not need as much paint as he anticipated.
Communication: Steve did a great job with communication. I knew when to expect them each morning, had an idea of how long they would work for, and knew which days they expected to finish. For whatever the reason, most contractors fall in this category, despite modern technology making communication simpler than it has ever been in the course of human history.
Workmanship: The job they did was great. The advice Steve had on how to paint the trim and ceiling made the color of the walls look amazing. They even touched up paint on my second floor that the attic contractors had chipped during their construction. They labeled cans of remaining paint in the event I have touchups that are needed in the future. All the workers brought a second pair of shoes just for the house as to not dirty my carpets, and they also put down cloth on all the carpets before they started any work.
Courteousness: Steve made a point to introduce himself to my wife, who had been in the other room when he first came by for an estimate. They all got along well with my dog. I received a thank you note from the company after the job was completed. They were quiet while working and not disruptive. My wife and I both work from home, and it was refreshing to work with contractors that went about their role without constantly interrupting calls and meetings with questions.
Again, I can't stress enough, but these guys are the best. I would strongly recommend them to anyone. I will be calling them again the next time I am looking to have painting done. read more
