Overall, the completed paint job is good, not great. After several calls and text messages we were able to get someone out to redo ceiling repairs that were a part of the original quote, but not completely fixed.

We had an issue with drywall in our garage. Stb was able to get to us quickly to repair and give our garage a fresh coat of paint. Stephanie and her crew were on time and super responsive. Thank you!

I chose them out of few other options I had. After I was ready to start the work, Rob was very helpful in putting me on schedule at the earliest possible and his/Jorge's crew showed up on time and worked for 5 days very efficiently. Multiple teams worked on different days based on their expertise, but I was very impressed with the person that did the patching of drywall (after drywall installation), very
