"My overall rating above is a 'B', but only because the scale does not have minuses or pluses.  The rating I would give New Surface Technology, is a B- or maybe even a C+. 
After he left I inspected the tub and bathroom more closely.  There were a few areas where the paint had run, just as Charles had said there might be.  The tub's finish had an 'orange peel' texture and dull shine on most of it.  But about a forth of it did have a smooth shiny, glossy look that I thought it should have after being refinished.  The floor had several small drops of paint on it and the floor, sink (that was a couple of feet away from the tub) and a vanity had white overspray (mist) on them from spraying on the paint.  I had to clean this up before it dried completely.  Maybe Charles would have done this, but it was getting late and I know he was tired.  I'm not sure about that.  But I was tired too and I thought he should have covered more of the surrounding area before spraying the paint.  So, I think he should have been more careful. 
The other thing is, he said it was taking a long time for the primer and paint to dry.  I think he didn't let it dry long enough, was rushing, because of the amount of time it was taking.  So, the end result was not a smooth, glossy, shiny new looking tub, as it was described that it would be.  It does look better, just not as good as I hoped or that  New Surface Technology described it would look. 
I called Charles back the next day and informed him of the drips.  We scheduled a time for him to come back at 3:00 a few days later.  On that day I waited until 3:30, and he had not shown up.  I called and he had got held over on another job and lost track of the time.  It was going to take him two hours to get there, so we rescheduled.  When he came back I pointed out the areas wher the paint had run and the 'orange peel' texture of the paint.  He worked on this for about an hour or so and left.  When he left I inspected the tub and there were some new drips in the paint.   I called him later and we scheduled another time for him to come out.
When he came out for the third time, I pointed out the new drips and one of the old ones that he didn't sand out completely.  He said he could make this right.  I mentioned the texture on most of the tub, that it was kind of rough and slighly bumpy (orange peel) and he said he didn't think he could do anything about that.  He fix the drips mostly, although you can still see some because they were not sanded out completely, but they are not too bad. 
So, my overall opinion is, that New Surface Technology does an ok job for the price, as long a you don't expect it to look like new.  Basically, my tub looks ok, better than it was, but it deffinately looks like someone refinished it, not like new tub.

"Dishwasher and ceiling fan service was wonderful. Garbage disposal is on its way, the shower fixture was a little messy and have to return 3 times to fix, pray its the last time. But not Choice Warranty's fault. Alittle pricey but allows you to pay them out."

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design!

"I love my new shower surround from Bath Planet of Arkansas! Chris was very helpful from the beginning through the end of the installation. I went into the showroom with only a vague idea of what I wanted. Chris helped me figure out a beautiful fit for my bathroom. When the installers came to my house they were kind and very respectful of my home. They covered up all the floor surfaces where they walked in and out of my home. When the job was done they cleaned up perfectly. Afterwards, the office called to follow up to make sure everything went well. I highly recommend Bath Planet of Arkansas!"

"I came home to the most wonderful thing today: A house that has not been THIS clean in a long, long time! My kitchen was a mess, the living room a wreck, the bathroom a nightmare. Everything was dusty and the floors and baseboards had seen better days.

Jackie gave me back my kitchen, complete with clean and shiny cabinets, spotless appliances, and a floor void of any trace of dirt or grime. She organized my countertops, and even shined up all the glassware and such on the open shelves.

The living room is equally lovely. Every surface is spotless and neat. And the floors! She and her son. brought our old hardwood floors back to life, and the baseboards are no longer dull.

The bedrooms and office also got cleaned up, the floors look great and everything is dusted and shiny. They also made a lot of headway with our terrible bathtub that needs to be resurfaced.

I've seen some unfavorable reviews and complaints, but I have nothing but great things to say. Nooks and crannies that usually get overlooked are clean and fresh, and the rugs are nice and free of dog hair.

We've decided to hire Jackie to come back every month. They clearly work very hard, because it shows. I definitely would recommend her. I've never had my house cleaned professionally, and this was a very positive experience.
