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.

This pro did an amazing job!! The pictures do not do their work justice. This is a near and dear project so I wanted to make sure I hired the right person for the job and I can say I did. The home had not had a paint job in over a decade and the paint job was so wonderful many neighbors rode by to see and complemented the work done. They were very professional and kind; kept to the schedule and were very fair with price. I didn’t feel the need to haggle or any thing of the sort. They completed the entire outside of the house with trim in a total of roughly 8 which was very quick. I look forward to using them again in the future and recommending them to others.

Details: Home • Two stories • Entire building • 1,000 - 1,500 sq ft • I’d like the professional to provide the paint • No visible exterior damage
