"Overall fine, but I do think $234/window to be expensive considering the work required and the focus on extreme expediency.
Great responsiveness for setting up appointment to look over project for estimate. Punctual for appointment. A little less punctual in getting estimate to me and two big issues with invoices: asked for clarification/editing of first estimate invoice, which included work details that had to be adjusted. He accidentally sent me the same invoice instead of the edited invoice. I never actually got the edited invoice before the work started. Second problem is that the post-work invoice billed me the wrong (too high) amount -- had I not double checked the amount of my deposit, I would have overpaid.
Paid a deposit to reserve a date in late spring. Bad weather derailed another project (not mine), so on scheduled date, Tony had to cancel. Not a problem. Summer heat and humidity set in, so we decided to wait until cooler weather to do project for better results. Tony offered to refund the deposit.
Comments on day of work/on work:
- I had asked upon receiving the estimate whether the project would span two days (I figured it takes time for primer to dry). Tony replied that they would try to complete in one day. So I definitely did not expect the entire project to be done in 2.5 hours (crew of 4), which created a few issues for me (read on).
- Crew arrived and started working without even meeting me (they were supposed to arrive at 7, but were 25 minutes late and by that time, my toddler had woken up and I'd gone back inside); I wanted to go over a few work details. This I couldn't do sufficiently because of the awake toddler, then, by the time I got back from dropping her off at daycare (9:30), they were almost done.
- I would have appreciated knowing that such a large crew for such a small project would come, so I could have decided whether I wanted the painting done in what was essentially 1.5 hours (after subtracting time to set up ladders, scrape old paint, and clean up). Even if a paint is designed to be quick-drying, I find it hard to comprehend how a water-based paint can dry so quickly. I asked Tony about this afterwards and he said that the brand of primer they use dries in 30 minutes. I guess time will tell whether the paint job lasts.
- More on my comment above on "extreme expediency": window sashes were not opened or moved to scrape or paint beyond any exterior surface that is not immediately accessible, even if that meant that opening the window later would reveal areas not worked on. Even on the one casement window, for which there's easy access to the margin of the window door that sits behind the window frame, this margin was not scraped or painted until I inspected and asked. They would not have waited for the single top coat of paint to dry to ensure the window was not painted shut/could operate. I had to ask. I also had to ask for them to leave the painted windows slightly open; then make sure they could move and close when dry. I doubt the top coat was dry before the security gates were reinstalled (the tech sheet for the paint used says it needs to dry overnight), so if I ever need to take them off... in my experience, this causes the paint to rip off with the "foot" of the "furniture" that is in contact (under pressure from the screw) with the paint.
- Crew was very kind and helpful. I asked for two small (each took about 5 minutes) favors: help putting a window screen back in on a different window not part of the project (required a ladder and someone on the outside, while I latched from the inside) and caulking around a loose ceiling light housing inside my living room. They were great and happy to help.
- One thing Tony and I agreed upon before the work was that I could get some extra primer from the crew (apparently, painters are required to leave behind to the customer only the paint can of the topcoats, not the primer). They left while I was on a work call (again, did not plan for the work to be done so fast), so Tony had to come by special to drop off some primer, which was very nice."

"Rob was courteous, pleasant and professional. They did a spotless cleaning job. He showed us pictures of the inside of the chimney from the boiler where the old terracotta lining was crumbling and starting to block the exhaust. Right on time 2 days later and put in a new stainless steel liner. In the afternoon I asked what was taking so long he said that the first liner they put in got a tear so they took it out and put it a new one, guaranteed for life.. I was blown away. Nobody would have noticed. I was blown away by the integrity. The brickwork needs replacing but I already arranged that for after the winter. He asked me a few questions and told me that the guy sounded like he knew what he was doing. Again, you can't buy this kind of work ethic anymore His partner Vinny was very knowledgeable in fireplace mechanics and gave my wife, pretty good at fireplaces herself, some excellent advice. One of my best experiences with home repair folk. And free cleaning next year."

"Work was excellent. Glass, sills, sliding door tracks were cleaned excellently. Santos is professional and takes pride in their work."

"The deck has spots that were missed and that is a little frustrating."
