Wooden Finishing Services in Pennsylvania

“We had several rooms of the house painted as well as an exterior wooden porch railing. The back sunroom required the most work. The room was originally monochrome, so the ceiling needed to be patched and painted white and three walls needed to be a different color. Then we had a brick wall which needed to be painted white. The kitchen walls were re-painted. The upstairs bedroom ceiling was re-painted. The outside front porch railing needed scraped, skimmed, primed and painted as well as a small portion of exposed wood on the side of the house. Ted was among 4 painters from whom I obtained estimates. Each gave their opinion on what they though should be done in the sunroom which was the most complicated area. Ted was the most precise and knowledgeable. He backed up his opinions with fact and logic. His estimate was not the highest nor the lowest. But he was the only one who broke down the estimate in a clear and concise manner enabling me to choose some or all of the options. He then emailed me a list of references to contact. All the references I contacted praised his work ethic and performance. He then came over with the contract and clearly explained what each section meant before we both signed it. The work was started three days later as he had promised and he sent his best painter, Jules, to do the job. Jules was amazing. His careful attention to detail, his respectful attitude and meticulous methods made things go smoothly. The entire job took about 5 days. At the end of each day, Jules cleaned up the work area and neatly arranged his supplies in a corner out of the way. He was the most easy going, fastidious person I have ever met. When there was a lapse in communication and he inadvertently painted the brick wall green instead of white, I called Ted and the problem was immediately fixed, no questions asked. I kept apologizing to Jules but he just said, "don't worry, it's not a problem." He is a rare find, in my opinion. Ted stopped by on the third day, to check everything and make sure the work was satisfactory. I would not hesitate to recommend Ted and his team to anyone and welcome the opportunity to provide him a reference.”

“Art and his team did a wonderful job on the corner cabinets we had put in our dinning room. Everything came out better than we could ever have imagined. All of our friends and family love the wrok that was done. I would highly recommend Art to anyone who wants quality work. My wife and I couldn't be happier.”

“I hired Family and Friends for an addition and a new master bath. They were respectful, clean, prompt and did a wonderful job. I was so pleased with the quality of work and timeliness that they are going to do my other bathroom.”

“Benjamin completed a fireplace makeover for us and we could not be happier. From the initial contact to the completion of the project he was very professional and easy to work with. He was able to improvise when needed as this involved some creative thinking. All communication is done via email. The actual work is done off site which really minimizes the amount of noise and mess. A high deposit was required because the work is done off site which may deter many. I will say I was a little leery of the deposit, but it worked out without issues. We could not be happier with final results.”

“Greg finished my basement. He and his partner did all of the custom cabinet work including a beautiful bar, a back bar with sink and a powder room. They also did all the framing and subcontracting that included electric, plumbing, flooring, masonry and finish work. Greg and the people Greg works with are honest, professional and skilled crafts people.”
