Another happy customer ~ Read her comments on our work:
Kurt Dwyer Painting power washed, prepped, and painted the exterior of our home and two sheds. The prep work included replacing rotted wood trim, shingles (siding), window glazing (including a few broken glass window panes). Shutters, downspouts, and other items on the house were removed prior to painting. Two to three coats of paint and stain were applied to the trim, body and shutters/doors. Two stair railings were also painted.
We initially had Kurt and Jennifer come out during the fall to give us an estimate for the project. We already had a few quotes from other local companies we researched on Angie's List. The quotes ranged a few thousand dollars for the same project between contractors. We based our decision on project cost and overall knowledge and expertise of the contractors. Kurt's estimate was competitive with others we received, but we felt most comfortable with his knowledge and apparent commitment to his projects. We signed an agreement to fit the project in during the spring.
Kurt promptly gave us a call at the end of March, let us know his crew's availability to schedule the project, and gave us an approximate idea of how long the project would take (weather permitting of course). Within a week, he called us again to let us know his crew could come out to power wash the house in the first week of April. Kurt even came out to confirm the colors we wanted and how exactly we wanted everything painted.
A few days after the power wash, the crew was out at the house, prepping the siding and windows, which required a good amount of work. Our windows are older with individual glass panes that require glazing. We provided glass for two windows that had previously been cracked and the crew replaced those windows and re-glazed to seal them. We had to replace our downspouts due to several of them being cracked from the elements; we picked up new ones from one of the local big box stores and the crew painted them to match the house. The next few days, Kurt and team quickly got the body, trim, shutters, and doors all painted.
All in all, the project took six days total (over the course of a week and a half) from power wash to final clean up. Kurt was on site most days and stayed in constant communication with us on status of the project. Each day when we got home, the crew had cleaned up from the days work and kept their materials confined to a small space in the backyard. Kurt made sure we were happy with the final outcome before making the final payment.
Overall, great experience and we would use Kurt Dwyer Painting again. They were very professional and made sure we were happy with the final product... and the 'thank you' brownies from Kurt and Jennifer were a nice surprise after the project had concluded! We're extremely happy with the work they performed.
