"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

"Fantastic! Other people did not know haw to remove screen door. Robert knew exactly what to do. Job finished in 15-20 minutes. Great communication. Would definitely use them again."

"Technician came to the house and analyzed the problem. It was determined that the cost of repair was over the allowable Choice Home Warranty limit and it should be replaced. Choice Home Warranty issued their replacement cost. This cost was unacceptable and I challenged their figure. After some negotiation I was offered an increased settlement amount. I still balked at their offer but I was told to take it or repair my old microwave. I finally accepted their amount, even though it is still well below what it will cost me to replace the unit. I might add that the existing microwave has the convection feature and I want to replace with same features. The cost that I will receive also does not include any removal, disposal or installation costs. At this time I am debating whether I will continue with Choice Home Warranty or consider other options."

"The first time it was $21,000, then we had them do some additional...they gave us an estimate, I think of around $6000 and honestly we haven't paid them because they haven't finished. They seemed very professional. I thought they would do an excellent job. They could match our color scheme. This is in a company that is warranted, life time paint, never have to paint again and if we do, we'll come out time and time again to do it. So the idea was great and we had been having to paint the brand new home every year. We were tired of that and they seemed like they could do a great job and the product seemed very good. We had them paint it the first time and we had room additions added and they painted that. It seemed very good and very professional. They painted some things that they shouldn't have like the windows, so it is hard to close them. Overall they did a decent job but then the last time they came out to do some repair work, they actually did some construction in addition to the painting and then they didn't match the paint colors correctly. They didn't finish the repair work, where they thought they might have finished it, it wasn't as it was before architecturally, aesthetically pleasing anymore. I had a punch out list and I said, this is all the punch out list that needs to be addressed. They said something about, okay they'll take care of it but they never scheduled a time or place to review the punch out list or to schedule to get them fixed. We have been calling and they've not been returning our calls. We thought they were out of business actually. Then last year all of our windows sills rotted and again, with the paint that wouldn't have happened. We replaced all of our windows. The window company actually reached out to Hoosier Permanent Coatings  and they are still in business as you probably found them in your system. They said well because we didn't pay them that last amount our, warranty is null and void. So we've been trying to call them, we leave messages and they don't call us back. If we talked to them maybe this thing can be settled."

"He even went to the hardware store to get the correct replacement part for the job. Sliding closet doors had gotten knocked off the tract and the plastic track had gotten broken."

"The providers' recommendation of the Sherwin Williams'  "Deckscapes" semi- transparent stain to begin the project, was an EXCELLENT suggestion.  Provider brought the stain chart to our home, and helped with the selection, allowing us a few days to make our decision.  They purchased the materials and supplies for the job, including the stain.  The quality, appearance and performance of the stain is very satisfying, and just what the homeowner wanted for the result.

The preparation job of removing the previous solid color stain on the deck was much more involved than owner or provider expected when the job was contracted.  We all thought that the old stain would come off with powerwashing, but that was not effective, even though much of the previous stain was peeling off already.  The provdiers (Amy and Jay) worked laboriously and regularly with a variety of sanders to remove the existing stain.

But they kept coming back every day to sand for a few hours, and even removed the spindles and handrails, pretty much dismantling the deck, except for the flooring.  They took the loosened items to their home, and worked on them there, a better process than trying to do the job on site with vertical sanding on the railing spindles.

This was an EXTREMELY tedious preparation, which accounted for 80% of the job, something that none of us expected in the estimate of pricing.  About halfway through the job, the providers did request to increase the amount to be paid to them, and the owners agreed to their request.

Other contractors might have walked away from this job, but Amy and Jay returned regularly for 6 weeks to complete the project.  Their communication with the homeowners was frequent and effective - daily when needed.  Often we traded emails at night, which put everyone's expectations in writing, and minimized misunderstandings.

The workers were cheerful, helpful, non-obtrusive, and cleaned the working area nightly before going home.

Some of the work associated with reinstalling portions of the railing which were dismantled owing to the complexity of removing the existing coating were not up to an "A" grade, but carpentry was not in the original scope,nor was it a stated expertise of the contractor.  Instruction was needed from the homeowner for correct reinstallation, but the requested corrections were made promptly.

Painting skills, job completion, and communications were  satisfactory to the home owners.  This was a job with some surpises and problems, and they handled it with good efforts, and tremendous fortitude.

I think that these providers will complete any job they accept, and that their work efforts and ethics are worth recommending for any painting projects."
