I am really happy with the efficiency, and quality of workmanship performed. Mr. Docherty responded to my initial request quickly, and arranged a personal estimate within a short period of time. The work was started that afternoon, and completed the. Ext day. The results are fantastic, and I am so pleased with the entire experience.

Dave Docherty and his team were a pleasure to work with. Dave paid attention to detail, and offered practical suggestions to improve on our project. We were pleasantly surprised that our home exterior window and siding painting was completed less than 2 weeks from quote to final inspection even working around poor weather days. Will be contacting them for future projects.
