Our local hardware store was the first to recommend this company (I value their honest opinions) and as it turned out one of their workers pulled into the parking lot as I was leaving. We chatted and he made an appointment on the spot for later that day. Plumbers are never cheap but the work was first rate, he pointed out something I should be aware of for future and he was fast! It might be because Taft is a small town but he never fails to give a big smile when he drives by if working in the neighborhood.

A W A Painting

I first came to know AWA painting because they were repainting the facia of a house down the street…read morefrom me. I was walking my dog and stopped to watch them for a moment, since I was also in need of a full exterior paint job on my house. Unlike some paint crews, I noticed how clean and careful they were and the job looked great, and the crew was professional looking. I worry sometimes about crews with teenage looking kids with no experience, that's not the case here. That day I called them and the owner, Younis, came down to my house at the end of the day and gave me a quote. We have a stucco house, and Younis told me we would have to either prime before painting or use a higher quality paint that water proofs the stucco and seals it. I had already had 3 other notable painters in town come out and give me quotes and no one ever mentioned the challenge with stucco, sealing cracks, trenching below the dirt at the bottom, priming and painting any metal with oil based paint (we have a huge steel balcony). Younis, pointed out things that I wasn't even aware of. He looked at the job and emailed me a quote the next day after carefully evaluating the job. To my surprise, the quote was cheaper than the top dogs in town and he was using far superior paint products and doing way more than anyone else. We decided to go with AWA and told him we had to wait to get the paint approved by the HOA etc., he was extremely patient with us and once we confirmed, he started the job very quickly. I was surprised that, Younis, the owner, actually did the painting. He's not one of those spoiled contractors who leave a crew at your house who don't speak English. He was the main painter and checked with me every single day throughout the project. I am extremely picky and we made many small changes along the way. He never appeared bothered and just worked with me to make it happen the way I wanted. The price never changed. He even installed new lighting fixtures for us and really took pride in the project. We could not be happier with AWA Painting. I feel very lucky and don't think I would have had the same experience with any other painter. We plan to do more inside projects and will definitely use them.

I cannot say enough good things about Dave and his crew! They recently removed my old, incredibly heavy wooden garage door, monster that took 3people just to lift and installed a beautiful new double short-panel steel door complete with a new motor. Out of everyone I reached out to, Dave was by far the most prompt in getting back to me and easily the kindest. He gave me a fantastic deal, worked around my schedule seamlessly, and never made me feel pressured at any point in the process. For a small extra fee, he even hauled that massive old door to the dump for me, which was an absolute lifesaver & blessing!!!! Not only was Dave the best but his crew worked together seamless and were just as kind towards me. As someone who couldn't lift the old door by myself, this new setup makes my daily life so much easier and keeps my garage looking clean and updated. Having this new automatic door gives me a much cleaner garage too because it seals better preventing so much dirt, dust, spiders and lizards for coming in. I am so thankful for Dave's help, his crew and genuine customer care. I will definitely be contacting him for any future needs and highly recommend his services to anyone!
