"Our project was a bit of a puzzle as we were merging our old paver pathway with a new paver path. Jeff exceeded our expectations and our pathway looks amazing. Very efficient and good quality work."

"Manuel did a thorough inspection first, both from inside the house and from the roof. He took pictures of it on his phone to show us the problem. He suggested what was needed and gave us a complete estimate. He came with a helper and worked for two days putting in a liner, insulating the liner, removing old crumbling tiles He replaced the back wall of the fireplace with brick, replaced our old damper with an energy saving one, and applied a water repellent. He protected all of our furniture and flooring as needed. He cleaned up when he finished. He called before coming on the days scheduled, and if he was going to be a bit late, he called to let me know when he would arrive He and his helpers were polite and helpful. We definitely chose the right person for the job, and will call him again if we should ever have another chimney problem or when we need our chimney cleaned."

"He cleaned out our fireplace and chimney. And walked us through how to use it safely. He was patient with questions and knowledgable and helpful and friendly and smart. 
We are new home owners and this is our first time being able to use a fire place in a home that we own. He told us what we need to buy and what to watch for (a piece of glass in our fireplace door is falling out) and he showed us lots of things (like how to close the floo and such. He is also a firefighter and answered my questions about our fire alarm and things. He did a great job and was patient.

"That was not a happy experience.  They were very hard to reach.  They contacted me and ask me when they would come and take advantage of the deal.  I emailed them back, they didn’t respond.  I emailed them again and I emailed them again.  The third time I emailed them, I said, if I don’t hear from you within 24 hours, I’m going to cancel through Angie’s List.  Somebody called and left a message.  I called the next morning and the phone was disconnected.  I had somebody else on the phone, he said I was crazy to think the phone was disconnected because it wasn’t but it was.  Somebody called me and they arrange to come.  The finally did come.  They did what they were supposed to do on the chimney but we had an inspector come in because we are selling the house.  They missed something important that I have to fix.  They apparently didn’t do the job of doing the crown which I paid extra for.  I’m going to have to pay another chimney service to do that.  I am happy with them at all.  They said I need to replace a dent and they did ask $400 more and they supposedly fixed the crown of the chimney for another $125 but it turned out that they did not do such a good job on that.  The crown wasn’t good.  I expected them to find extra things to do but I expect them to do them right."

"My fireplace contained a wood burning unit inserted into in the mid 1980s.  I t contained a glass front.  We had not used the fire place unit for several  because a prior Chimney Sweep company advised us we needed a new liner system and some chimney structural repairs.  The technician (Ken Williams) , prior to starting the work explained to me the scope of the work and the process of installing the liner.  I gave him a copy of the prior Chimney Sweep company report , which he reviewed with me.  We also reviewed the installation instructions of the original fireplace insert.    During installation of the new Stainless Steel System Liner , Mr. Williams examined the structural condition of the Chimney and advised me that there was nothing wrong with the Chimney and was in very good condition. I was very impressed with Stratford Mechanical and with Mr. Williams for taking the time to discuss the nuances of the Liner system.

"Very professional and friendly. They made sure no soot left the fireplace. Would use again.

"I had an old that was 18x12 ft.The deck has stairs from second story down to ground level. I called Great American log Homes after I had read good reviews here on AL. Mr Painter answered the call and was very enthusiastic about coming out to see what I wanted to get done. He came out that day. I asked him to give me estimates for three possibilities; replacing the deck with another wood deck of equal size ;a deck made out of synthetic (Trex) material; and lastly to price out making 2/3 the deck a covered screened in porch with the remainder 1/3 exposed (outside uncovered) deck made out of synthetic material. He had a price estimate for all three possiblities in just a few days. He came back to my house in person to review all three in detail. The price for the screened in porch was good and was within my budget so I decided to go with this. I got two other price quotes from other people, one was more expensive and one was about a 1000$ less. I was impressed with Mr Painters enthusiasm so I went with him. He got to work very soon after we agreed on all the details. He gave me a written contract with the details of the project prior to starting. He asked for 1/2 the money up front and the remainder after 100% project was completed.
As stated above he removed the old deck and stairs, replaced the floor of the deck with synthetic composite deck boards with tounge and groove tight fitting boards with no exposed nails. He replaced the old wood rails with attractive pcv pickets and rails that matched with the deck boards. The old stairs replaced with same material as deck surface. 2/3 of the old deck was turned into an enclosed screeened in porch with railings as in the outside portion of the deck. It had a large vaulted ceiling that had a ceiling fan and installed recessed lights. The inside of the porch ceiling was made of attractive wood paneling. the ouside ceiling was sealed and shingled to match exactly to the existing house. It looks like the screened in porch was built with the house and out of the same materials and no one would know that this was an add on project 7 years later! Small area had to have alluminun siding added and this was seemless with the house. Small amount of electrical work had to be done with moving/removing the existing outside light to a new spot for the floodlight and new electrical work for the ceiling fan and recessed lights. Mr Painter has a person that does electrical work and he was very good and took the time to ask how I wanted the new light box to work with the many existing switches that i have in my kitchen.
He got started very soon after we agreed on the details. The total project took less than 2 weeks and he seems like he does not start a project unless he is able to give it 100% to get it done asap.
Mr Painter is the sole owner of his company and oversees everything. He has a crew that works for him and had different people for different parts of the job. He used to build complete homes and therefore is familar with every aspect of construction/renovation/reconstruction. He is a senior/seasoned contractor that is very hands on, despite not doing all of the work himself and having workers, he does participate in the work. Mr Painter was on the job everyday and spoke to me everyday to let me know how thing were going and asking me questions to make sure everything was coming along the way I wanted them.  There were a few minor issues that came up during the day to day construction and I when i brought them up to Mr Painter he took care of them right away.
Mr Painter is a very hard working enthusiastic worker who takes pride on making the customer happy. He is very honest and realistic. He was very easy to talk too, he was very communicative with the progress of the project. I would recommend him highly. Even though he wasnt the cheapest, he was sooo easy to work with I will have him do more renovation projects for me.
