"Everything was excellent. From the moment we had Advanced Granite solutions come out to give us an estimate, to picking out our quartz countertop, to the gentlemen that did the installation and the gentleman that did the plumbing, everyone was professional responsive and a pleasure to work with. Would definitely hire again"

"Repaired crack in Corian counter top. Looked like new."

"Based on a ton of outstanding remarks on Angie's List, I initially called Tony's Touch to get most of the interior to our house painted. While he was reviewing the house to provide an estimate Anthony (the owner of Tony's Touch) noticed that our oak railings were in fairly poor shape and suggested individually sanding all of the railings and then using a tinted polyurethane to give it some glare and a longer life. During out conversation Tony indicated that his company also does all types of flooring. Since we have been dreaming of hardwood floors on the main level of our house for years, I thought it would be worthwhile to get a quote for this work as well. So, after reviewing five bids to do the work, we selected Tony's Touch to do all three jobs.















Anthony is a very enterprising young man and has put together an outstanding business. He staff a large staff of craftsmen. Anthony is quite knowledgeable on all aspects of this work. Finally, Anthony does a great job of negotiating prices on all materials and passes all of the savings to the customer. For instance, on the floor installation project he was able to find significant savings for myself and other clients by pooling together the same wood in a single order to obtain a very good price. Little things like that save clients significant money.















The most important to know about Anthony is that he wants to ensure all of his jobs get done at the highest quality level possible. He communicates with the clients extremely well. If there is a problem he typically has a recommend solution or two.















I am going to break my reviews up into three different sections: painting, refinishing the rails, and flooring. Each aspect had a separate purpose and were done at different times throughout the renovation process.















Painting







We received five estimates from painters with strong ratings on Angie's List and found that one was ultra high, two were in the middle and two were in the low end. Anthony provided the next to lowest quote, and although he was not the lowest, after meeting with him I felt like he was going to provide excellent work, and he was interested in working with me to ensure I was prepared to make all of the right decisions in a timely manner so that I would be happy with the final project. We had not yet determined all of the house colors, so he provided an excellent designer (from Will's Decorating) to meet us at the house and provide us with assistance on the color selection.















Once all of the colors were selected Anthony was very quick to select dates for the painting work that revolved around our schedule and our desire to be there whenever work was being done.















His crew was extremely polite and I thought they were quite trustworthy and excellent at their craft. They were experienced professionals. I have overseen several renovation activities over the last 30 years and I fully believe that his crews were the hardest working, most time efficient, and effective workers I have ever seen. They were always on task and worked as hard as possible. Just because they were hardworking and moved fairly quickly, there was no skimping on quality. Anthony is quite committed to quality and prefers to lengthen the schedule by a day of so if the job needs more time to maintain his high quality standard.















Tony was very flexible when it came time to select which paint brand and line were to be used in the house. We selected Benjamin Moore's Aura line, which is very expensive, but not as bad after he was able to get a contractor discount on it.















Back to the job: The crew started with prepping all of the paint surfaces and protecting all of the materials in the vicinity of where they were working. Prepping included extensive sanding all of the walls to ensure the pores were open so that the paint could better adhere to the surface. They also waited the prescribed amount of time between the first and second coat of the paint. Many painters put a second coat right over first coat without allowing the first coat to dry, and then takes credit for applying two codes of paint. Anthony's crew, however, allowed for the paint to dry by following the manufacturer's recommendation before attempting to put on a second coat.















The overall results were absolutely fantastic. As with any large painting project, there was a small punch list of tiny problems. I didn't even have to to go over the concerns with them--they saw the list on yhe table, as well stickies we applied to the walls to show where there was an issue, and they immediately made all of the corrections with no questions asked.















If you are thinking about hiring them for painting services I strongly recommend them. Some of the little things, like Tony bringing in an interior designer/paint consultant, at no charge, helped to guarantee we would be happy with the final results.















Finally, Anthony was a dream to work with on this aspect of the job. All promised dates were hit. He constantly checked in to make sure we were still happy with everything throughout the process. He periodically popped in to oversee his crew and to check out the work. And, he takes great effort to make sure we are happy with everything on an almost daily basis.















Resurfacing railings on the main floor and second floor







We have oak rails along the steps, between the kitchen and the FR, and the 2nd floor halls overlooking the FR and Foyer. These railings were quite faded and had absolutely no sheen.















I have had contractors in the past recommend just throwing a coat of polyurethane on top of the existing wood to bring the wood back to life. However.







that approach is a lazy approach to do the work and will result is a poor quality result. Anthony was the only contractor who proposed to do the work correctly--he would only do the job if they sanded, by hand, all of the railing before each coat in order to open up the pores in the wood so that stain and polyurethane would properly soak in the wood. He also suggested using a polyurethanes that was tinted with the stain color. He recommend two coats, and in between coats the railings were lightly sanded again, to ensure the product would properly adhere to the wood. The final results were outstanding.

"My experience with epoxy 856 was excellent. The workers were professional, they covered their feet and made sure everything was clean when they left. Most of all my counters and floor are beautiful."

"Fantastic job, this company does great work! They were very respectful of the property, very neat and thorough! I would definitely hire again and highly recommend. It’s worth the money spent."

"I highly recommend. They always fix the problem quickly and have reasonable prices."

"From the very beginning this project was off to a great start.  George painting met with us promptly at the time established in our initial conversation.  Before the night was over we received by email a very fair proposal.  The main project included painting the living room, dining room, foyer, and hallway.  The add-ins were installing the crown molding and repairing the nail pops.  Once we receive the proposal we did not hesitate going with everything.  The job was started about a week after we agreed to move forward.  On the first day the crew was sitting outside waiting for 7am arrive, they were prompt.  We did not need to move any furniture however I did remove some of the china and crystal out of the dining room.  The crew came in were friendly and courteous but they went right to work.  They immediately covered all the flooring and protected furniture from paint.  When I returned home that evening the dining room, living room, foyer and hallway were painted, crown molding installed and furniture back in original place.  The second day was devoted to kitchen, family room and bedrooms.  No paint was found on furniture, floors, windows, or anyplace it should not have been.  The paint job is top notch as well as the repair work.  I am extremely please with everything they did.  George's Painting is one contractor I would have no hesitancy recommending.
