Is that like Home Advisor where you get slammed with cold calls from Sears and a bunch of other referrals till the cows come home?Quote:

How's it compare to using Yelp and AngiesList?Quote:

I used a big name company last year and it was a nightmare. Do not use a painting company with "Certa" in the name.
They did a very little little prep and started to paint over bare un-primed areas and places with peeling paint. I caught them and called the job manager. They replaced the original crew but some days the new crew only had one guy show up and the job took over two weeks to complete. I'm finding areas where they didn't paint on trim and some places are starting to bubble and peel now. Lots of paint on sidewalks and they left trash everywhere.
I have a guy he’s painted my home for that I sold for like $2900 power washed and filled in recessed nails with caulk. He also painted the trim of my condo that another painter destroyed and left paint all over. If I need painting done he’s they only guy I will call he’s super reliable and good at painting. Let me know if you want his info!
I've used a guy for (inside) painting that contracts out to Certa*. Referral from a friend. They did a fantastic job on short notice.Quote:

6k is pretty reasonable
