Dear Rich,

Enclosed please find my check #0998 Dated 01/19/06 in the amount of $3665.00 for the painting job at my home at 727 — 43 Avenue, San Francisco, CA.

I want to thank you and your crew for a job well done. They showed up on time and the work was done within the time frame you promised. Your foreman, Marvin Romero is to be recognized for his courteous and professional manner.

As he finished painting the back steps, it started raining; he and his fellow workers covered and secured a plastic drop cloth to protect them.

Thanks again for everything and be assured that I will highly recommend you as you were highly recommended to me and Joe Testa. He awaits your telephone call when you return from vacation; have a wonderful and safe trip.

Sincerely,

Dear Rich,

Just a note to let you know how super pleased 1 am with my new paint job. Thanks for your excellent advice regarding colors and sheen finishes, I can’t say enough good things about your foreman, Marvin Romero and his crew: Jose, Andy and Pedro. They are all very talented and hard working painters.

Brett Arnott,

Thank you very much for a fantastic job well done. Your crew was very thorough in the preparation for and application of the paint. They did extras like painting the house numbers and the lighting. They were very respectful and willing to attend to anything that was asked of them.
 
James was remarkable, a truly good person. It was a pleasure to have him on the premises.
 
Wishing you a healthy and prosperous New Year. We will certainly recommend you and your company to our friends and neighbors when  inquiries are made.
 
I particularly liked the "burning" aspect. I saw how important it is.


Sincerely
Mrs. Dorothea Evans

Dear Mr. Arnott:

I wish to express my total satisfaction with the paint fob on my house completed by your company.
 
In particular, Francisco and his crew did an outstanding job not only in the quality of their work, but at all times he was attentive to my desires and concerns, making sure that I was continually apprised of the progress, any choices that had to be made, their work schedule and other matters affecting the job. At times, even, he went above an beyond what was actually required in the contract.
 
So I'm happy with the work and happy to recommend your company to prospective customers. Thank you.

Sincerely,
James J. Boll

RE: Painting 1367 Union Street interior


 
Dear Rich,

We selected your firm to paint the interior of our flat because you presented the best, most complete and lowest proposal; and let’s face it, you’re a hellava salesman.

It was a pleasure to deal with you during the preliminary work -- color selection, samples and so on. You always arrived on time and conducted your business efficiently, with good advice and good humor.


You showed up Monday morning and introduced me to the foreman, Enrique and we toured the flat to clarify where the colors were to stop and start. Uncharacteristically, we used 11 different colors and to add to possible confusion, the ceilings in the main spaces were to be darker than the walls. You noted in an email on the final day:

“In all the years that I have been painting I have NEVER seen anyone do the ceilings darker than the walls, my guys are blown away (as am I) at how utterly great that it looks!!!! Great job Marcus!!!”


After you left, Enrique introduced me to his crew. I don’t remember their names, but I was taken by what a cheerful, friendly and industrious group they were.

My wife and I wisely took your advice and stayed in a hotel during the process, but I was here each morning to let your crew in. The process seemed steady, thorough and flawless, and I learned that your guys were talented, as well. The tall, outgoing Filipino guy mentioned that he paints murals in the Mission as an avocation. The job was complete a little ahead of schedule on Thursday a little after noon; the furniture back in place and the carpet vacuumed.  In short, great job at a fair price.


Sincerely,

Marcus Rector
