"Andrew did wonderful work with several jobs for my suite of offices. I quickly needed a series of smaller job done but he did not treat them like small jobs. He was very careful with his measurements and finishes so each job fit in seemlessly. Recently, I needed all of the stair noses removed and replaced. Andrew chose a sturdier wood for better long- term wear, finished/stained the wood, and installed them beautifully. People actually comment on how nice my stairs are since he re-did the noses. I feel he has a more thoughtful and artistic approach than the average handyman and it truly shows with his finished projects. I have more jobs to be done at my home and I will definitely hire him for future work."

"The roof on the 2 sheds look great. They also did a great job on the 2 gates they rebuilt. Very happy with the work done."

"Overall the work was very good. One issue with a leak at a canale was addressed following the first rain event. Ben (the owner) came out frequently to review the work his staff was doing, and came out right away when the canale leak was discovered. He was determined to ensure homeowner satisfaction of the work performed. His workers were very friendly and were very good at answering the homeowner's concerns. The rarity of rain events following the roof replacement made it difficult to quickly assess the quality of their work. Recent storms helped with that."

"It was okay. They were kind of messy. I had to do a lot of cleaning up after them. They were doing a lot of patching so they did a good job matching the existing texture and so on. I think there were 2 guys who came and they got to work and did the work."

"This is the first time I have used Mountain Side Contractors. I found them on "Angi". From the first contact with them (initial call from Brenda) to the last encounter was outstanding in EVERY way! ALL of the staff was highly professional, extremely responsive and provided excellent workmanship. In this day and age (difficult to find a company that encompasses superior quality, professionalism and good value - along with people that want to work) - it is so refreshing to experience a company who stands by their word, exhibits the utmost integrity and professionalism. They showed up on time, were very respectful to my neighbors (noise factors) and always cleaned up after themselves as they found it. Cuco and Brenda were top notch in everyway. They kept me abreast during the entire process. I finally found a company that I can rely on! I will refer them to everyone I know, and will only utilize their services for any future projects! Thank you Mountain Side for making this experience the best it could be! Please see the pictures - they raised our North and East walls and poured a very large concrete pad for our new Swim Spa, hot tub and sun deck."

"All the work James did was top notch. The repairs were done on time and correctly and and he fixed a couple windows that wouldn't open."

I?ve been a homeowner in Santa Fe for over twenty years, and have hired a number of different painting contractors to work on my home.  Unfortunately, my experience with these painters has been disappointing and when I decided to have the exterior of my house painted this spring, I turned to Angie?s List to see what other companies were working in the area.  Number one among the painters listed was Paint the Town, with fifteen outstanding reviews and nary a negative comment.  I hired Paint the Town for my job, but my experience was so different from that of all these other reviewers I felt compelled to write this critique.

Paint the Town is a husband and wife team; they have no other employees.  They are very pleasant people but they are the least professional painters I have ever had the misfortune to hire.  I probably should have known better than to hire them when I found out they did not carry any insurance because no responsible contractor works without insurance.  Their failure to provide a written contract was another red flag.  It?s important to have the scope of the work clearly stated, as I learned as the project progressed.  No insurance, no real contract, everything they did was half-a****.

The bulk of the work in the painting of the exterior of my house is in painting over twenty french doors.  Many of the doors had some cracking in the wood which required filling with putty.  Paint the Town applied filler to the cracks but only did a cursory job of sanding the putty, leaving a raised, uneven surface.  I ended up sanding the filler, adding more filler, and then doing a final sanding before I considered the job completed and the surface ready for painting.  Yes, I was doing this myself, because Paint the Town thought their half-a**** job was adequate.  A proper contract could have clarified what constituted a properly prepared surface for painting.

Their failure to properly prep the doors simply shows low standards of workmanship.  Some of their other failures demonstrate a sheer lack of professionalism.  I had to tell them that they needed to open the doors to paint the entire surface of the door, they had done much of the work with the doors closed.  When an exterior door is closed, the edge of the door is covered by weather stripping.  You have to open the door to paint the exterior surface.  Again, they were doing a half-a**** job.  They did not wash and wipe down the surfaces of the doors and windows before painting, which left debris in the painted surface.  They did not seem to have any drop cloths.  How can you work as a professional painter without drop cloths?  As a result, there were (and still are) excessive amounts of paint dripped and spilled on my tile and flagstone.  Finally, I have to mention the doors they painted that were left with the bumpiest, most irregular surface I have ever seen in a paint job.  I think they must have been painted with a roller that had dried paint on it.  The craziest thing is, they were ok with it like that.  I had to insist that the doors be sanded and a fresh coat of paint applied.

Other problems included painting my double-hung windows so the windows were stuck open.  This was done on a Friday and they came back the following Tuesday.  There was a storm on that Friday night, and I had to go out in the rain with a putty knife to break the paint bead between the window and the frame so I could close the windows.  Similarly, the weatherstripping around the doors were painted into the door frames (I had told them I was replacing the weatherstripping, so they didn't have to mask it), and when I removed the weatherstripping in certain areas some paint pulled off the frame.  I had to insist that they touch up the places where bare wood had been exposed, and when I did they became belligerent. 

There's more, but I think I've written enough for now.  I want to point out that I actually hired these people for my job because of the great reviews on Angie?s List, even though they hadn't come in with the lowest bid.  They weren?t even the lowest bid, but I still hired them.  That's why I felt compelled to write this review, to add another perspective on the job performance of Paint the Town.  Caveat emptor.

"They were fantastic! Attended to my every concern, gave a detailed estimate and kept the price. They were on time, did a great job. Everybody loves our improvements and I already recommended 21 landscaping to several people."

"It went extremely well! My property needed a number of items fixed from a broken backyard fence post, broken ceiling fans, exterior upgrades, among other things. Adam and City Different Renovations were always updating me on the progress, they were flexible with timing, and got the job done when they said they would. I would recommend this company to anybody!"
