Student Works Painting

We had students come to the door earlier this year and ask if we needed anything painting. We agreed to let them come and paint our front door, and the porch area inside and out. The exterior door paint had been flaking and had holes, dings and scratches and would look much nicer filled in.  We assumed when they said they would prep the area for painting that it meant filling in the holes, etc. The estimate seemed high but we decide to help out some students and let them do the job that needed to be done. It is a fiddly job so were willing to pay someone.
Well these 2 guys arrived and worked for 1 day, and it wasn't til after they left I realized they had only sanded off old paint then slapped on new paint on top of the holes, dings, scratches, etc. They left my external stairs in a mess and I had to wash them well from the sanded paint flakes, etc. I did complain to the manager and he apologized that expectations were not met but showed me that the quote did not include filling in holes. Be very clear about what your expectations are. If I knew they would just sand and paint I would have done that myself and saved myself the $. I would not use them again.

Arrived as planned
Did excellent & very detailed work.
Great people skill.
Did everything ask & more.
Left all areas in perfect condition.
Would recommend to anyone and helping students.

The students worked really hard did a good job i hope to have them back next year.Enjoy your school year ahead all the best with your studies. Thanks Cathy Whitec66@outlook.com

Grayson and Kate were very professional and did a great job. I am very happy with the end results. I would definitely use and recommend Student Painters again.

ps: they are animal friendly.

Left site believing they were finished, I called to tell them they were not.
Some windows painted, but not opened, some not painted, doors not painted, railing not painted. I told Cameron that I expected that all exposed wood ,would be painted. After delay, with sickness and rain, two students arrived yesterday, and completed work.
In the end I told my family, I was 100% happy with the price, 90-95 % happy with work. I would hire again hoping for better communication, at completion of work.

I reached out to Zack on a whim not sure if I would here back. He got back to me promptly and was very professional! He came out quickly to offer a quote and go the job done as promised!

After a few cancellations by manager, as he was waiting on a rainy day to wash house.
The workers arrived.
Then they left as had no ladders ( the back of the house does not require ladders) then they had no hose to wash house, then no pressure washer, they left after 3hrs with minimal attempt at any work, different workers arrived the next day, no pressure washer, they then sourced pressure washer, only for it to run out of gas. 5hrs later, the rain started, which I completely agree that if the pressure cleaner is plugged into power source it would be unsafe to carry on. ( so much for managers excuse to wait for rain)
This job was meant to be a paint of my home, contract signed beginning of March, but cancelled just out with timeline for refund mid April. Work was due to commence mid June ( no materials were bought within that time as I asked) and was goodwill to clean my house.
But honestly, keeping my dog in as couldnt let her out when workers were here, constant barking, and non productive for no equipment was not a happy experience.
Think twice, the workers carrying out attempt to clean house were lovely, but management couldnt organise a party in a pub!!
I told the workers not to come back. Lesson learnt.

To be honest the workers seemed to be as frustrated as me

Polite, clean, on time, a pleasure to have around. Would have this crew back anytime.

Very pleased with the job these two young men did. Devon and Ryan were great very meticulous and attention to detail. They kept their work area very clean

The project was staining a fairly large old and weathered pergola. They power washed it , completely sanded it and applied 2 coats of stain. The workers were courteous and diligent and I was pleased with the final product. I will definitely use them again in future.
