Painting of garage door frame, lentis and a badly weathered second floot bay window
All the houses in my subdivision have the same problem: in all our houses, we have some architectual features that is essentially a wooden feature that only have a coat of paint protecting it. Builder's special I guess. But 7 years in and we saw peeling, rusting (the nails) and even rotting. It is rampant.
I guess I am the lucky one: with only a bay window 20 feet up on the second floor, a garage door frame and about 20 lentis around the house that is peeling, rusting away or both, I finally bite the bullet and decide to hire a contractor to do the work for me.
I had many quotes: some are scary low yet others are equally scary high. One company even quoted me with photos sent. I rejected all the quotes during the first round as I was frustrated with the process. One day, I stumbled on Maximo's company (Executive Touch) when I was browsing the home stars site.
The quote back from Maximo was not the cheapest nor the most expensive and outrageous. To me, cheap just mean corner cutting and expensive mean gouge. I selected Maximo's company because he gave me the most confidence that he would be able to do the work porperly. Executive Touch has the proper paper work with regards to insurance and WSIB - I did not have to ask for it. I even got a reference letter from a show on HGTV. As for due dilligence, I asked for a reference. I promptly got it from Maximo and I have checked them out too.
Maximo is very accomodating to our specific needs. In fact, I feet bad that I am the weak link in terms of timliness. Even with my crazy work travel schedule, Maximo was patient with me. I do appreciate that.
Wallace was the "junior" that Maximo sent to do the work at my house. Wallace was courteous and professional. The work was done and completed as promised. He too is very accomodating to our requests.
In summary, I do recommend Executive Touch for painting job. I know Maximo's company does more than slabbing paint on wood. My experience with Maximo and Wallace had left me with a positive impression. I would certainly be calling upon them for more work and seriously consider them again.
