I think he's very professional, very honest, and he does a fantastic job. He doesn't just paint over things. I was so impressed with the fact that he took a blowtorch and stripped down the old paint. He goes the extra mile.

I found his crew to be very friendly. I had him work for me on several jobs. It's kind of like a family feel. I like that aspect of him and his crew. They're just a bunch of nice guys, doing a really professional job.

My experience with him was superior. He will work with you and work with the type of color and paint that you want. He'll test out the colors, so you can see before he does the job. I think that's very professional.

He did what I requested and he was very clean. He cleaned everything up and that's extremely vital. Afterwards there were still a couple of things that needed to be done, and he came back, took care of it, and did a good job. He followed up and made sure things were done correctly, and responded to questions and concerns. He did an excellent job.
