‘‘He's very straightforward and easy to deal with. There were no surprises when the bill came.

‘‘Basic painting, it's true, anybody could do. But if you want it to end up looking good, the prep has to really be good, and I thought they excelled at that.

‘‘I'm a repeat customer. I don't even bother to get other estimates now, because I'm just very happy with their job, and I know that his prices are fair.’’

--Alan Paul

‘‘For us, it mattered so much that we knew we had someone we trusted and felt good about.

‘‘It was obvious George knew what he was talking about, and then you see the results and that it has lasted, didn't peel. ... We totally would use him again. There's not even a question.’’
