Deposit

We had StudentWorks local operator get a estimate to paint outside walls on our home. We agreed to a price and gave a deposit of 776.17 (20 % ?) as we looked at our financial situation we decided to do it ourselves. We contacted Aboody within 10 days to explain that we did not want to go ahead with their services. We asked for return of deposit which he claimed could not be returned. We had a lawyer contact StudentWorks in a letter explaing our problem. After over 2 weeks we have not received any reply. As I am a elderly man on disability due to Multiple Sclerosis which this company claims to support I would not recommend dealing with this company !

Paint retaining wall

I was worried about getting this project done because of our extremely unpredictable weather. The amount of prep was not a problem with the rain but painting certainly was! In the end we had a break in early September to complete the project.

Post and beam staining

James informed us well in advance of the whole process. He was attentive to all our concerns and was able to resolve all issues in a timely manner. We had a drip on one of the posts and James came in at the end of the day from travelling all day and repaired the error. He is very conscientious and personable. Hope to hire him again next year for a different paint job.

Incomplete and Unsatisfactory work. Safety on roof a concern. Communication.

Paint was not applied to whole surface. Dirt on window frames so I assume not painted.
More specifics required. I thought a door being painted would include the frame around it. Apparently not so would not do.
Climbing and leaning over roof edge with no safety harness a safety concern

Painting front door, garage door and back deck railing

Emmett and his team were extremely professional. They arrived when they said they would and kept me in the loop on the status of the project. There was a visit from Emmett same day the project was done to check that everything was done to our satisfaction. Very professional service.

Shoddy work and unbending practices

I had them come to do some painting
She did a quote then changed it once she started the project
When I questioned her she said too bad its a signed contract
Now if the work was decent I might feel a little better but it wasn't
The work was subpar at best
I would say you get what you pay for but their prices are twice as much as other companies
Something I unfortunately didnt find out until after the work was done
Trust me -RUN -get a real company to do the work

No satisfied

Windows were not cleaned properly, had smear marks as well. They did not clean the trimming which was supposed to be included and the basement windows were not cleared. They did come back and cleaned them again but still left smear marks. I sent an email again to the manager and have not heard any response after three attempts I requested that he come and see the work himself but said he has not responded. These windows were supposed to be guaranteed. Im not I would not recommend this company we spent way too much and more cleaning window companies out there. Im sorry to have to say this, but not very professional.

Painting job

When I began getting quotes for this job I was stunned at the painting quoted given by a professional painting company to do just my main floor of my house. $6500!!! 6 years prior I had a whole house done for $5000 which was much bigger. Student works quoted the same job for less than half and did a professional job. Its the prices of such services which are driving inflation rates up. It was satisfying to find a business who did an exceptional job at a fair rate without gauging the consumer. The painters were polite professional and a pleasure to have in my home. Thank you

Deck Stripping and Restaining

I can't say enough about Niagara Student Painters! These young men's work ethic is second to none, and they took pride in the work they did. Everyone that we dealt with from Ryan, to his team of strippers and strainers were very professional, friendly and courteous. The whole experience has been amazing and the outcome far exceeding expectations. I would highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. This was a huge job and they absolutely nailed it. Thank you so much Niagara Student Painters!
