Exterior painting for a 2-story house (around 2100 sqft - 2200 sqft)
Experience and Good Comments
I used Jack's Ever Green Painting to do the exterior painting for my house on the week of 7/6 and was overall satisfied with the service they provided.
The project is to do the following:
1. Exterior painting: two colors - body color, and trim color
2. Front door painting: change to a new color
The whole process started at beginning of April for the quotation. I selected the below vendors (1 from yelp , others from our internal discussion group)
> Vendor 1: big company, good feedback from email discussion
About 8.5K + tax
30% down to start the project
> Vendor 2: private workshop. Owner do the paint job.
About 4.1K + tax
50% down to start the project
> Vendor 3: the yelp one. About 7K.
> Vendor 4: no onsite visit, only estimated with google map street view.
About 5/6K range
> Vendor 5: very detailed estimation, clearly explained every detailed steps for the whole process.
About 5K + tax
(actually, if they could cut the price down to around 4.5K, I might go with them)
> Jack's Ever Green Painting:
About 3.6K + tax
I am a "price sensitive" people and finally selected Jack's Ever Green Painting.
The following communication is OK. After confirmed with them my decision, I have to be prompt to check with them about the schedule/color selection (they could provide 3 colors to choose from, for free.)
But overall, the process is OK: I clarified my requirement, and confirmed my schedule.
On 6/26, they arrived my house to wash the house and apply 3 sample colors for me to choose. And, take the down pay. :)
However, they forgot to wash a small area of my exterior wall (which is covered by a small storage room, and they need to get into that area to wash the house's exterior wall)
On 7/6, two people come and the overall project finished within 3 days. Schedule wise, this is good.
Quality wise, I won't say the project is great but this met my expectation (esp considering the price): some of the area is not sanded, some of the area is not primed enough to protect the wood. But all were corrected after I pointed out. Still, I am satisfied with the finish (with that amount of money spent).
