Manco painting customer comments on description of painting work

Manco Painting
I just wanted to let you know that we were totally impressed with your company from beginning
to end of the job. You gave us a professional bid that was fair. You kept us advised on the day of
rain when we were originally scheduled to have our home painted. You helped with the paint
choice when we had questions also' Your workers were professional and did a terrific job of
keeping the area clean, making sure our items were protected around the house and letting us
know how the work was going. Thank you for a job very well done and we will recommend you
to anyone who calls.
Best Regards,
Gary and Teri Gnaedinger

Thank you so much for the professional paint job that was provided by your company. We are
so pleased with all of the work that your men did on our home. I gave your name to my
neighbor who is interested in having her home painted as well. I will definitly recommend you
and your company through out the community.

Thank you again for such excellent service.

Your company did a wonderful job on the exterior of our house. Please thank the entire crew
who all worked tirelessly for the past two days. They were professional, precise and neat, and
the house looks fantastic. We will definitely call you for any future interior or exterior painting
needs. We'd also be happy to be a reference, should you need one.

Thanks again!
Judy Brannon

Thank you so much for coming today! All three rooms look fantastic! This will be the third home
(fourth time total) we have asked for your services. EVERYTIME, we have been pleased from
beginning to end. We have passed your name and business card on to others in the past. I
will continue to do so. I look forward in contacting you again to complete the rest of the house!

Hi David and Lisa,

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how happy we are with the painting job
Humberto and his 2 assistants did in our home this weekend. What an amazing difference!!
They were very professional, polite and they worked their butts off all weekend for us. We are
very happy with the results. We will be recommending Manco Painting to all our friends and
family. If you ever need a reference feel free to use us.

I am going to be calling you again next month because we have more rooms we would like to
have painted and we will need an estimate.

Thank you again.
Geri and Brian Kelly

David came to my house when he said he would. We walked the house and he gave me a very
good opinon of what really needed to be (and did not) need to be done. He did not try to upsell
me or scare me in to other work (a big deal to me). David emaild me a complete breakdown
and price later the same day. They schedulde my job and showed up on time. The day of the
job David and the crew arrived on time and thre crew worked all day and finished up the next
moring. A great job.

Description Of Work:
Mr. David Felske inspected the exterior of the house, checking the wood trim around the
windows at eye level, as well as siding/hardy plank to be repaired/replaced. He was thorough
and explained to me exactly what I should expect to be replaced/repaired.
(This was done about 1 month prior to actually performing the job as we had to wait decision of
HOA on paint colors) Our inspection report and estimate was returned to us in less than 24
hours.
Member Comments:
Mr. Felske and crew began on Monday, July 18th and completed on Friday, July 22nd. (The
house is a large two story and there was a rain day in there too) . I am so very pleased with the
job that MANCO painting did... It was so incredibly hot and to have to be outside, on the roof
replacing hardy board/siding, repairing/replacing window trim and then painting...phew!!! The
men were amazing... polite, efficient. Their prep-work meticulous. There was no paint on the
roofing shingles, windows or patio/sidewalks. All I had to do was ooohhh and ahhhh!!!

Description Of Work:
Manco painted the exterior of our house.
Preparation included pressure washing complete exterior of house with a tri-sodium
phosphate diluted chlorox solution wash, followed with a 2,800 P.S.I. rinse. All loose and
peeling paint were scraped and feather sanded at edges. All bare wood was primed with a
exterior oil base wood primer. All cracks, splits, and seams were caulked with a 35 yr
siliconized base latex caulking. All cracks at windows were caulked to brick. All metal brick
lentils above windows were prepared and painted with an exterior industrial enamel oil base
paint. All loose wood, siding, and gutters wer re-nailed as needed. All roof flashing was painted
with direct to metal exterior paint. Included painting all previously painted surfaces with 1 coat of
Sherwin Williams premium 25 year Super Paint in a satin finish.
Manco also replaced some rotted wood trim on the slides of our garage door.
Finally, Manco replaced a hanging lantern in the front and a outdoor fan with new hardware that
had already been purchased by us.
Member Comments:
The Manco painting crew arrived promptly on time (7:30am) on both days. They worked both
days until perhaps 6pm. They cleaned up well on both days.
They did a good job with all the work. They seemed to be nice people. I felt very comfortable
having them around.
The owner (David) came by a day or so later to inspect the work. He found a few things that he
wanted his team to corrrect. I honestly had not noticed them.
Later on I did use a razor to remove some paint remnants from some windows panes. So I
can't say that the quality was perfect but I am giving it an "Excellent" anyway as it was pretty
close.
I was very pleased with the work and the overall experience.

Description Of Work:
They painted one coat on 2 bedrooms & a hall over 1998 builders' paint; they skim-coated,
sanded, textured, primed & painted a small bathroom (someone removed the ugly wallpaper
beforehand); they re-painted the 2 bathroom door frames & baseboards, & the hall
baseboards; they painted one coat in a very tall entry & two coats on the joining dark walls
below the chair-rail. They smoothed out, sanded, re-textured, & painted a ceiling area where a
contractor had stepped on the sheetrock.
Member Comments:
Great! The crew arrived early the first day & got to work immediately after owner David Felske
walked through the project with them. The headman went to get the paint & brought it back,
then the crew shrank to 2 men who worked constantly until 5:30. The owner gave us a fair price
on the ceiling crack which happened 3 days days before Manco was scheduled to come. He
also added painting the 2nd bedroom for a low price; I hadn't noticed it wasn't on the original
bid, even tho' it was the room we waited years to empty so that part of the house could be
painted. They couldn't paint one bedroom the 1st day because another contractor (electrical)
was running late with his job, so he had to work in there. A single painter worked alone most of
the 2nd day, arriving even earlier. The headman came late that afternoon to expertly texture &
paint the ceiling patch & help the other painter finish & clean up.
We have a LOT of pictures on the walls. The crew was willing to fill holes we left empty & paint
around all the nails & picture hangers in place, so we could just re-hang pictures after the walls
dried a couple of days. Floors & furniture were tarped over with thin plastic, any drops of paint
quickly cleaned up. Curtain rods were put back in place. The owner came by 4 times in 2 days
to check the job.
It's hard to imagine how the job could have been done more professionally, or the crew worked
any harder. It was completed in the time they said, & looks wonderful!

Manco workers arrived on time, David (owner) went over the job with us and the workers. First
day was spent doing power washing and prep work. Second day, workers arrived on time and
did more prep and painted (two coats). We are very pleased with the work that we had done.
Definitely would recommend them. In fact, two of our neighbors have already used Manco to
paint the outside of their homes.

I could not believe how fabulous my house looked after the power washing! One man did
nothing but caulked for 2 days. For $4000 I got a big bang for my buck. They are going to do
some work for me on the inside of my house soon. The crew leader, Ramone, was so nice. He
was so patient and calm. My husband is a little hyper and pointed things out. We showed
Ramone and he took care of everything. We knew they would miss things here and there and
they went back and fixed everything.

Member Comments:
The job went very well. They have done 4 different painting jobs for me over the years. I like their
services. They are very professional. The man who owns and runs the company is very
professional in how he runs his business. Everything is always open and above board. He has
never tried to pull any fast ones on me. They do what they say they are going to do, quickly and
efficiently. If there are any problems with the work they are always willing to correct it. The
finished product has always been pleasing to me. The work is done well with good products.
They use Sherwin-Williams paint. They are a well-run company. This last project took them 3
full days and they had anywhere from 2 to 4 people working at any given time. It was a very
involved project. I only received 2 estimates for painting. They were the lowest out of the two, but
not by much. I could have possibly found someone cheaper.

Description Of Work:
Exterior painting of two-story home with detached garage. Painted one coat, similar shade/color
to before. Pressure washing of brick and Hardi-siding before painting. Re-caulk windows and
other gaps. Re-nail siding, trim, and the like before painting. Replaced vented soffit surrounding
garage with new ventilated Hardi-soffitt. Replaced some trim and soffit damage caused by
squirrels. Replaced rotted trim boards all 4 edges of chimney and some windows. Lightly sand
old finish and re-varnish wood entry door with spar varnish.
Member Comments:
All in all, this was a great experience from the professional estimate by David (owner) to the
final cleanup by the repair and painting crews. This was the best of 3 estimates. As described
above, besides painting there was wood and siding damage that needed to be replaced. The
first crew arrived early the first morning to pressure wash and caulk. They also measured for
the repairs, cutting Hardi-soffit and Hardi-trim boards. The first day they did much of the repair
work. Before leaving, they placed a sample of paint on the house for us to compare with the
existing paint. This was the only slight issue, a miscommunication on the paint shade. We
informed the painter of which paint shade (color name and number) we agreed on. Since there
was no paint purchased on day one, there was not a problem for us, nor for Manco. Equipment
was gathered up and placed into two unobtrusive piles after day one. On the second day,
repairs continued and painting was done. It took all day but everything was cleaned up and
tidied up by 6PM. We inspected the entire house with David as the crew did final cleanup and
packed up their tools. We noticed just a couple of paint spots on brick, which they immediately
cleaned up. Really, everything looked good, from the wood and siding repairs to the paint job.
After that, we settled the bill and it was all done. Of course we left the entry doors ajar for
another couple of hours to let them dry and reduce sticking in the door jambs. All in all this was
a great contracting experience. The price was reasonable and the best of the estimates for the
work done. We paid no money up front. I should note that the job was originally estimated at 3
days, but David added a second crew on day two that would otherwise be idle (good workforce
management). Without a doubt, we would use Manco again for painting.

gentleman was standing behind him with a vacuum cleaner getting all of the dust. They were
great and they did a beautiful job. The corners are very crisp and there is no bleeding between
colors. I have actually given their name to two other people. Their price was very reasonable. I

Much of the trim on my home and garage had become rotten, particularly around the bottom of

call, David at Manco provided me with an estimate to replace the trim with Hardi and paint same
to match. David informed me that my house did not need painting for 2-3 years and just needed
pressure wash. The work was scheduled and completed in a timely fashion. Overall, I was very
pleased with the job and will contact Manco for future painting needs.

They painted the entire exterior of my 5,000 sq.ft. one story house, including pressure washing

rotten wood fascia and soffit boards.
Member Comments:
They arrived promptly on Tuesday morning and 3 or 4 men worked 10-11 hours a day every day
except Sunday, finishing on the following Tuesday. The foreman, Ramon, and the carpenter,
Rudolpho, spoke good English and were very polite and easy to communicate with. The owner,
David Fielske, was at the scene every day for about an hour monitoring the progress of the crew
and discussing various options for replacing the rotten wood. My house is 50 years old and
substantially all of the wood that was replaced was no longer available in the dimensions
and/or style of the original construction. In each case we came up with solutions to this problem
that were totally workable and satisfactory. These guys are real problem solvers! The quality of
the painting was exceptional. The painters were very meticulous and graciously corrected any
minor flaws that we noted at the end of the job. They also went above and beyond the original
scope of their job by fixing and painting several small items that were not pointed out to them
when the job estimate was prepared. I really expected to pay a lot more for the quality and
amount of work that was performed.

Description Of Work:
David Felske, owner of Manco Painting, came over to give an estimate almost immediately. We
got another Angie's List estimate after that, where the man denied rotten wood was rotten and
said they didn't replace it, anyhow. Manco started the job the day after we accepted their bid,
working around rain and cold. They powerwashed the brick walls and stone lintels as well as
painted areas, used heaps of caulk, and had a carpenter come over to replace a rotten door
frame. After rain and a day of sun to dry things, they did a great job with the paint scheme
required by the neighborhood. They also scraped and painted 2 iron garden gates.
Member Comments:
The job went very well. When the workers realized our doors and windows leaked when
power-washed, they hand-scrubbed all the rest. The paint was applied by hand on the garage
doors, so that it wouldn't spray inside on our cars. The workers cleaned up well after the job,
and the house looks great. We used Manco before, inside, to remove wallpaper and texture and
paint a bathroom, and expect to use the company again in the future.

Manco provided an excellent painting service. The owner/manager regularly monitored the
three-day paint job. Preparation, painting, and cleanup were all completed within the estimated
time. Work also included minor carpentry work, gutter repair, and a sticky front door. The
professional, skilled, and courteous staff provided an excellent product. At the end, a final
inspection by the company owner found a few minor items requiring attention and tended to
them immediately. One year later (and post hurricane Ike) the paint job has held up and still
looks new. I think this is the true test of a good paint job.

painted the whole house and garage exterior. The work was professional and clean. There are
only a few paint spots on the grass and no drips have been found around the house. No trash
was left behind and the work was well done. Two day later they called to make sure I was happy
and then we paid them for the work.

professional. They were punctual, respectful and efficient. They covered all surfaces with plastic
daily, removing it at the end of the day so that we could live in the house while the work was
done. The only problem we had was that several items we expected to be included in the
estimate were not, and so the final cost was slightly more than the estimate. To be fair, we had
a lot of work done, and the estimate itemized all of the areas covered by the bid. I should have
checked the estimate closer to be sure that everything I had requested was specifically listed
on the estimate.

Description Of Work:
I contacted David Felske for a painting interior estimate for my home. I discussed the six colors
for each room, only the walls. He was professional but the estimate was too high.
Member Comments:
He looked at each painting swatch, explained what paint coat to use, and how they would move
the furniture. The estimate was $1980.00, not including trim or doors. That was too expensive
for a 1591 sq. ft home, even though three of the six colors were color accent paints. I will explore
my options for other estimates.

Got off to a very good start when David was early for the appointment to inspect and discuss the
work needed. Bid was prepared and delivered that same night for $1880. Work crew was on
time, conscientious and courteous. Work required 2 days to complete. As requested, they
identified several unknown areas that had wood rot during the preparation process. Dave gave
an additional quote of $165 to replace, prime and caulk these boards. Overall a very satisfactory
experience.

Manco's did a very nice job on our living room, the walls are smooth and there were no
surprises. They did exactly what I wanted them to do. The price of the paint and labor was
included in the cost. They were careful not to splatter paint and I would refer others to them.

Manco painted the interior and exterior of an 18,000 sq ft child care center for me. His crew was
very professional. They scheduled the work to be done on weekends over a 4 week period and
they showed up on the agreed upon times each weekend and finished their objectives each
weekend. They cleaned-up each weekend and left fans in the buildings to air out the paint
odors.
Member Comments:
Great experience overall. David was very professional and helped us in the planning of the
project and set out his timeline of when work would be commenced and completed. His crew
was reliable, friendly and very professional. They met all of their deadlines and the quality of the
work was very high. They came back for touch-up work when requested and did a little bit extra
work with no additional charge.

David Felske is very knowledgeable, and a great communicator, answering all my questions
patiently and completely. He's punctual, and always returns phone calls promptly. His work
crews are polite and communicative (especially Simon). The quality of their work is excellent,
with lots of attention paid to important detail work in difficult places. His price was only $200
higher than the lowest bid, yet he delivered superior customer service and excellent work.
Overall, he's a terrific value.

Outstanding: the crew was polite and unobtrusive. They covered all windows and fixtures with
painter plastic to prevent drips. Cleaned up very well and replaced all outdoor furniture and
fixtures. The crew went the extra mile and swept all of our outdoor porch areas before they left.
