Tom MacRae Painting painted the exterior of our 1930's house and garage. The bulk of the work was focused on the faux cedar shingle siding. Surfaces required little in the way of preparation.Tom was reliable. He responded to our request for quote the same day and always arrived when he said he would. He did all the work himself and did not contract out.Tom was flexible, adjusting the scheduling and scope of the project to our changing needs (We were having other work done on the house exterior.) He also changed the paint brand to one I preferred for colour and fade resistance. When I found the low luster was a bit too shiny, Tom immediately and willingly bought the flat sheen and repainted what he had done. Tom arrived prepared and worked extremely quickly. I think it took no longer than 3 days to complete the entire project (He had to spread it over 4 days because of weather) . He's a great cutter; the edges where the dark paint meet the light are very clean. He quickly and effectively dealt with any issues that arose.Tom is polite, very easy to deal with, respectful of his surroundings (i.e. no radio) and efficient.Tom MacRae Painting is extremely good value for money.
