"They were all extremely professional"

"Based on the overwhelming good reviews I hired New England painting back in June 2020 Anthony said that he wouldn’t be able to paint until September, I said ok I can wait until then. September came didn’t hear from him. Texted him and he said “You are on the schedule. I don't know if it will happen this month but when we reach your position in the queue I will definitely contact Thank you”. April came didn’t hear from him texted him and he said. “You are close to the top of the list. With good weather I expect to be on your house within the next 30 to 45 days”. May 21st called to ask for the color of the paint which was California brand as stated in the contract. Then he calls me and said that it was too much trouble to get California paint as most stores didn’t carry enough for what was needed and asked me if he could use Sherwin Williams instead. I said ok as it was 3 days prior to start and after waiting a year I didn’t want anymore delays. Then they painted my doors which they didn’t come out right because of the color red. I told him that they would need a primer but he said no. So after his painters put on 3-4 coats were still lousy I told him so and he said another coat would fixed it. However as of today he never came back to fix them. After he saw the review Tony called me. He was not very pleasant and said he had forgot about the doors and he was going to refund me $100. For them."

"Lenny and Lisa are great. During the demolition phase, Lenny took great care to cover our hardwood floors and cleaned thoroughly while removing the countertops and backsplash which really helped to keep the dust level down. Lisa recommended vendors for our granite, tile backsplash and sink - they were all so helpful. We have never done a kitchen renovation before and were a little anxious about the process and making choices. Lenny allayed our fears and was spot on with suggestions. Lisa was always available for communication and answering questions. The sub-contractors were all excellent, personable and professional. The whole job was finished ahead of schedule which allowed for our 18 month old granddaughter to come for an earlier visit! Overall we are thrilled with the outcome and will definitely use Apple Wood for future projects!"

"It has been a week since Bob Gagnon (whose business is named Architectural Coatings) finished painting my bedroom and hallway, and I find that his masterful work delights me more each day. Because Bob is meticulous in his work, the ceiling, moldings, and doors with their precise edges and fresh new tone provide a clear contrast to the walls now smoothly coated in a delicate grey-violet. This new look replaces the tired wallpaper and worn woodwork of this room previously. Bob worked hard to give me this smooth look, having had to remove two coats of wallpaper in the hall and patching over gouges created in those walls in the past. Fortunately, the wallpaper in the bedroom was removed more easily but needed prepping and patching nonetheless. I liked how Bob prepared me for this job by leaving me with a variety of color samples on this first appraisal visit and giving me suggestions about what might work well for me as the light changed on the painted surface during the day. Because I am environmentally conscious, I was delighted when Bob told me he uses paint with zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) and primer that easily gasses off and can be removed by a fan. When he was on the job, he also offered possible changes: would I like full louver doors instead of the half ones on my closet; would I like different pole arrangements to hang the clothes there; would I like the small top shelf to be replaced with a larger one? I saw the work in progress day by day and saw how painstakingly Bob went through each process. I also enjoyed having such a cheerful, kind, professional person as Bob in my house each day, and I enjoyed the snatches of conversation I would catch with him here and there. When the job was finished, Bob charged me his original estimate, which took into consideration any problem he might encounter, telling me that he would lower the estimate if possible negative things did not happen. He stated that the wallpaper in the bedroom was removed easily; however, the two layers in the hall with the gouging underneath balanced out what he had anticipated in the bedroom. I could sense that he was a man of integrity. Bob left my house in pristine condition: vacuuming, dusting, and moving the furniture, so that I could move back in without lifting a finger. Before he painted, he left the bed and two dressers in the middle of the room that were very securely covered with plastic so nothing touched them. He created his work area in the basement with all the appropriate tarps, which again was left pristine. No one would know a painter had been there except to see my beautiful new bedroom and hallway. Bob was recommended to me, and I thank the person who did so, and, in fact, just today, I recommended him to a friend-of-a-friend who was looking for a painter. I just can’t say enough good things about Bob Gagnon! It is a treat when we encounter someone to come into our home to make it more beautiful who is as truly excellent as Bob is."
