| - It was time to have our house painted, as the trim paint was deteriorated badly, and the paint on the foundation was chipping severely. A friend at work had used Gilbert's Painting to have his house painted recently with great results, so I had them come by and give me a quote. The estimator was very friendly and informative, while we walked around the house and he took pictures of areas that needed special attention and repairs.
I received a very professional proposal via e-mail a couple of days later. It included photos of the repairs needed (that would be included in the price for the job) as well as some optional things such as replacing the garage door rubber seals, painting the gate to the backyard, repainting the backyard walls, etc. The prices were competitive with what my neighbor recently paid to have the same floor plan house painted.
We decided to use Gilbert's Painting for the job, and boy.... am I glad we did! The 3 man team was very professional and efficient. They completed the job in two days (day two was about a 1/2 day), and the paint job looks FANTASTIC! They did a great job with the edges between the 4 colors on the house. They removed several small items that we had hanging on the house (security lights, bird feeder, thermometer, etc) and did a great job of masking off the things that couldn't easily be removed, like the porch and carriage lights. They protected all of our concrete (porch, front walkway, side walkway, etc). On day #2 I was excited to get home from work and see the finished product, but I was also concerned about what chores were going to be waiting for me. Would I need to pick up some tape, paper, trash around the house, and would I need to install some of our things back onto the house?
I am thrilled to say that besides the paint job looking fantastic, the crew did an amazing job of cleaning up after the work was done! I didn't find a single piece of tape, scrap of paper, or any debris anywhere around the house. They reinstalled every single thing that they took off the house the day before. My only chore was to crack open a beer as I walked around the house, admiring the high quality paint job.
I will absolutely recommend Gilbert's Painting to friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Great job!
