"Arnold was prompt, showed up when he said he would. Even texted me photos of my chimney as he went while I was at work. Was very impressed at level of detail. Even cleaned the chunks of old mortar off my roof and area around the house."

"Progressive Restoration (Marcus Postawa) had a contract with our Town Home Association since 2012. They did an outstanding job on the town homes they painted that year. Due to financial difficulties, our Association did not honor the 2 buildings per year requirement in the contract.  Marcus was more than patient, and worked with the Board in order to fulfill the contract terms.  He even waited 3 years to get the balance paid in full. (9/2015)

The Board of Directors had a 5-way phone conversation with Marcus at a Board Meeting ( April 20, 2016) and we voted 4-1 to accept the new Change Order for 2016, which included a price increase above the 15% contract cost for our default of the 2 buildings per year requirement. The extra cost was due to severe weathering and deterioration of our siding and trim, which was going to require extra time and work. At no time was our Board of Directors considering legal action against Progressive Restoration. 

 Progressive had already signed other contracts prior to receiving our Association's signed contract and down payment, due to one Board member. He needed to complete the other jobs before starting our labor-intensive project. He wanted to begin when he could complete the two buildings from 2015  and start/finish the next two buildings without moving paint , painting equipment, and ladders. 

 I  was the Board member who was in contact with Marc during this new contract change order signed on April 29,2016, and was kept informed of targeted starting dates for our town homes.  He said he was about a month or so out from starting, but an unusual rainy June delayed completion of his other jobs before beginning our town homes.  

 Marcus and his painters had always been courteous and professional to me and other homeowners,  and they were always willing to explain work details.  Marcus contacted me on several occasions to tell me of compromised roofs, cedar trim, and gaps in flashing and siding.  He was told to paint the trim anyway so it looked uniform until it was replaced.

Progressive Restoration fulfilled their contract ( Power washing, caulk, 2 coats of paint...I  watched them while they painted one building in the 90 degree heat). He even included a 60 year caulk at no extra charge. The Board mailed homeowners and asked them to move patio furniture and yard objects away from the buildings prior to the painters beginning, but many didn't comply. The Board had told homeowners that anything not moved would be removed at their own expense, or this area wouldn't be done.  Marcus and his painters moved much of this themselves., at no charge. 

Punch lists were completed.  The President of the Homeowners Association, a Board member on the Architectural Committee, and  I walked each and every building with the painters, with their paint brushes and paint buckets in hand, and asked them to touch up a few areas before they were paid. They reminded us that their work comes with a 3 year warranty, and they seemed very proud of this!

Marcus and his painters did an excellent job, considering the condition of our siding and cedar trim boards. He really is a perfectionist, and I'd recommend Progressive Restoration for any painting job!"

"They are very good and did a great job. They worked hard and very responsible."

"cut out bad bricks in 10 foot exposed chimney, replaced and did tuck point on chimney. Poured concrete cap on chimney, waterproofed chimney. Extremely knowledgeable in their craft. NOT a fly by night operation. Cody and Colton are the bros. and their customer service is outstanding! Trust in these guys and their specific warranty papers and products they use are second to none in their industry. Their skills and work ethic is methodical and that of dire perfectionists. They matched my other brick and the repair is like it never happened. They stayed in touch over the different days performing the repair, explaining their every move and how the repair would take place. Eased my questions with full explanations. I was a victim of poor repair before, so they new my problems showed what needed to happen to repair years of experience under their belts, I was at ease with the Bros. handling the repair. They do chimney cleaning, tuck point and flatwork, chimney cap repair and waterproofing, also do basement brick repair and leak damage. Bonded and insured, They are Artists, in the lost art of brick and chimney work. My roof is only 6 yrs. old and they took all precautions to insure integrity of my newer roof. Cleaned up around roof and ground each time before leaving. Years of experience and HONEST responsible repair. Hire these gentlemen to take care of your home."

"They came in, did the job they were there to do, cleaned up to where I couldn't find a nail anywhere. I would hire them again."

"They were responsive and got the job done in a timely manner."

"Kirt was very responsive in coming out to give a quote.  We had already purchased all of the materials so we just needed labor to finish the job.  At first I thought the quote may have been a little high but in speaking to Kirt during the quote he seemed very knowledgeable and professional.  I had one other contractor come out to give me a quote and although they never actually submitted a quote, I had already decided that I wanted to use Kirt.
Kirt was prompt in showing up for the job.  There was one tweak we made to the railing positioning on one side of the deck and he was welcome to discussing the adjustment and made the change to our satisfaction.  We used decking material that he had not worked with before and it proved to be a bit more laborious to work with than Kirt expected so it took an extra day to finish.  However, Kirt did not charge more than his quote so while it initially seemed a little high, I think in the end it was a fair quote.
Overall, we are very pleased with the work that Kirt did and will definitely call him again for future projects.
