Get matched with top exterior home or structure paint or stainers in Lowpoint, IL

"We were very pleased with the skill, hard work and professionalism of Guerra and Son?s. Our home had not been painted in several years. Thus, some major upgrading was required. The interior of our two story home (except 2 bedrooms and master bath) had drywall repaired and was repainted. Additionally, cabinets in our laundry room and in an upstairs bath and one new exterior door were repainted. The crew worked very hard and stuck to the work over a two week period. We chose SW Emerald paint. What a difference an experienced painting crew can make. Additionally, we had the crew replace mirrors, lighting fixtures in two bath and a vanity in one bath. Great people to work with! "

"Randy Scronce, the owner, responded to our inquiry for a quote very quickly and was able to get us an estimate for the work in a day. He was also able to start the work on Monday of the next week. The crew, led by Rob, was very friendly and accommodating. The job was completed in 2 1/2 days and done very well. Prior to painting, the crew removed some large items from the walls and moved the furniture in each room. They were conscientious to cover all of the furniture to prevent damage. Cracks and imperfections were patched nicely prior to painting. We are very pleased with the work that was done. I would highly recommend Randy Scronce and his crew for any type of painting."

"Alex Williams led a team from College Works Painting and completed painting the exterior of my house in June, 2018. He was professional throughout the job, communicating regularly, and delivering quality work right on schedule. I would recommend Alex who clearly has a grasp on how to approach painting projects in this his second summer with College Works."

"The people who built our home did not prime the drywall before they put the wallpaper up.  I told Angie this when she came to look at the project.  I explained to her my experience in taking the wallpaper off and explained the walls were not primed and the first layer of drywall paper came off when I attempted to remove the wallpaper in the bathroom.  Angie seemed confident she could get the wallpaper off without ruining the drywall, so we hired her.  She also seemed pretty reasonably priced with the work I knew she was going to have to do to get the wallpaper off. There were only two walls that needed wallpaper removed and only half of each wall had wallpaper.  The ceilings are vaulted and there were only a few repairs needed to be made, but nothing out of the ordinary.  The bathroom had been painted three years ago and I just didn't like the color.  The bathroom is not large and the painting was done properly so there was no  prep work to be done in the bathroom and there were only three spots Angie wanted to replace w/ paintable caulk. <br /> Monday, Angie called before she arrived.  She showed up at 9:30 am and found her ladder was not in her van b/c her son had borrowed it.  I didn't think anything of it.  I figured kids and I laughed it off.  She worked 5 1/2 hours that day and did not remove all the wallpaper.  The wallpaper did what I knew it would do - it was not primed underneath and the drywall paper came right off with the wallpaper.  Angie told me not to worry and explained she would remove it the best should could and prime the walls with an oil based paint.  She would then sand the rough spots, skim coat and then assess. If worse came to worse she would add sand to the paint to cover up the imperfections. I really didn't want sand in the paint, but thought it'll all work out.  <br /> <p> <br /> Tuesday she didn't show until 10:00 am.  She still had no ladder and also forgot paint rollers.  My husband gave her several packs of rollers. Angie got the rest of the paper down, put the first coat of paint on in the bathroom walls and left for another job, we assume.  She showed back up around 4pm and put the oil based primer on the bedroom walls, which only took her an hour in half. She said she would be back at 10AM Wednesday, if not earlier.  <br /> Wednesday she didn't arrive until Noon, which we're assuming is b/c she went to another job in the morning.  She spent time cleaning the mud off her ladder, sanding the primer she had put on the walls and skim coated.  She worked approximately 3 hours before she ran out of skim coating for the walls.  Huh?!  Angie told my husband she doesn't skim coat all that often but had a friend who could help her with the job the next day.  Her plan was to have him do the skim coating while she finished sanding the primer and getting the second coat of paint on in the bathroom.  She planned on having her friend help her paint the ceiling.   </p> <p>Thursday she arrived with her friend at 9:30.  The second coat of paint went on in the bathroom.  The skim coating was completed and sanded.  They also spent time cleaning up.  The skim coating went well and the prep Angie did paid off b/c the walls turned out very smooth and I could not tell there had been a problem with the wallpaper removal.  They also primed the skim coat several hours after applying it.  No paint had been put on the bedroom ceiling by this point, but Angie felt she would be done Friday.  My husband was very close to firing her and just finishing the job himself.  </p> <p>Friday, Angie arrived around 9:45 am.  She did a lot of cleaning and only got part of the ceiling painted and part of the paint on the bedroom walls.  She told me she was embarrassed that the job was not done b/c she honestly thought she would get more done the day before, but her help was no help and wouldn't paint the ceiling.  She also said one corner was not drying fast enough b/c a bigger repair had to be done.  Now in her defense, I understand b/c there was almost a half an inch gap in the corner, so a lot of mud had to be put in that corner to repair it.  She also said she was not happy with her help and had never worked with him before and thought he was a better skimmer.  Before she left for the day I had pointed out a place that had a slight imperfection in the bathroom, but I told her not to worry b/c the switch cover will cover it up.  I told her twice not to worry.  I also looked at part of the caulking near a window and it really angered me at the job she did.  I did point it out and she said she was going to make it look pretty with a coat of paint. She left around 7:00 pm and again apologized saying she didn't realize this job was going to take so long.  She worked a total of eight hours Friday.    </p> <p>We inspected the work and found she had left clumps of skim coating on the bathroom wall, not even close to the switch where the imperfection was.  Clumps.  I'm talking the size of a quarter.  And this is on freshly painted walls.  My husband and I both wondered, why is she creating more work for herself?  Especially knowing she is way behind.  My husband was not happy when she left and we both decided Saturday would be her last day of work in our house whether the job was done or not.  </p> <p>I had taken one day off of work and my husband had taken three days off of work, which ended up being a waste when the person doing work for you is only working five hours one day and three hours the next.  </p> <p>Saturday Angie showed up at 9:30 am and worked until 1:30 pm and took a lunch break.  I went up to inspect and I still was not happy with the caulking.  My husband agreed.  I bit my tongue b/c I realized she needed to put a second coat of paint on.  She had attempted to match the caulk color with the color of our wood sided wall.  I wish she had asked before she had made that decision b/c I would have opted for clear caulk instead of colored caulk.  Angie came back around 3:15 pm.  Before she came back from her lunch break I received an email from her asking that we consider giving her an extra $200.00 for the extra time she spent, the extra supplies and her "skill set."   She admitted the job took longer than she thought and she won't demand the money and will honor the original bid b/c that was the right thing to do, but was just kindly asking us to consider giving her the extra money.  Before Angie left on Saturday I pointed out the caulking and she offered to fix it.  I declined.  She felt the caulk in the bathroom turned out the way it did because of the previous caulking job.  I also asked her how many hours she believed she put into the job to ask for an extra $200.00.  She replied about 30 hours.  My husband and I agreed that was pretty close to the amount she worked.  She was very apologetic and never demanded anything.  I would say she was very humble and I could tell she was embarrassed.  I decided to pay her the extra $200.00 b/c I knew the difficult job she had getting that wallpaper down and making the walls look smooth.  She did accomplish that and I am happy with that work.  My husband is not a happy customer though.  In looking around, she got paint on the carpet and on the part of the walls that were not to be painted.  I also noticed she left paint cans on my good bedroom furniture and did not cover anything when she painted.  She cleaned the best she could, but I understand when you're sanding it's a mess.  Three weeks later I'm still fi"

"Job went very well. They made a special trip to temp. Patch leaky spot until weather was warm enough to reroof. Did work earlier than we expected they would very pleased with roofing materials they used and quality of their work."

"Jim did an excellent job on my porch. Thanks so much for getting to it so quickly! I appreciate it and our little guys love it. I will let ya know if we need anything else. Thanks Again Tammie Robison"

"Sometimes it is hard to schedule with John, but when he gets there, the work is fabulous.  There are people who drive by my house and stop just to tell me how beautiful my front porch is.  They do a great job of cleaning up after themselves, as well. I would definitely hire JMJ for any kind of deck/porch or full remodel. <br />"

"He is excellent! He's meticulous, and he does an extraordinary job painting. The house looks great, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. He removed quite a bit of wallpaper, which is a time-consuming task but he went above and beyond. This isn't the first time I used him, and it won't be the last."

"Fantastic.  The water pipe had burst due to the below zero temps.  After we had a company come out and fix the pipe, Randy came out and immediately started to fix the damage from water stains and drywall damage.   The time taken to fix the area was about 12 hours due to letting the mud, sealant, and paint dry.  He was very professional and knowledgeable on the best way to fix the problem and ensured everything was done perfectly.  He answered all our questions from start to finish in detail and what we would expect to see during the duration of  the construction phase.   <br /> We will definitively call him again for any painting or drywall issues. His prices were within the budget and very reasonable for anyone's pocket book. <br />"

"Cornerstone Builders and Developers were initial recommended by Reading Plumbing to do the specialized work in the bathroom.  It was necessary to remove the shelf brace to allow the plumber to get to the underside of the faucet.  The shelf brace was an integral part of the front of the vanity.  So the work had to be done carefully so that when put back it would look like the other shelf braces in the vanity.  They did a good job and even painted it so you can not even tell it had been removed.  <br /> While having that work done, I had them put up some additional kitchen crown moulding which had not been done when the house was built.  It was for a couple of small areas.  The work was complicated by trying to get it to match up completely with the already installed pieces.  The carpenter did a great quality job and spent extra time to make sure it was done right.  He also painted the pieces to assure they match all the rest of the cabinets and moulding. <br />"
