Deck cleaning and staining

The operator provided a detailed work plan for our project in a very business like manner.
The 2 staff that power washed and stained our deck were personable, and diligent in their work. The final result was well worth the cost, and enhanced our back yard setting.
Great job!

sand and repaint deck

My deck is 12' x 12' the job was to remove old paint and repaint. The overall result was ok. HOWEVER when they were removing the old paint by using power wash and sanding they did not use protective plastic to cover things that are outside the deck. Now I have old paint that's splattered everywhere on my patio furniture, hot tub, bbq, interlock and trampoline. For a $2200 job they couldn't even tape some plastic up to minimize the mess that they were going to make. Also on my first appointment date no one showed up, and the contractor ghosted me for 2 weeks after I paid the $500 deposit. I understand that it was raining alot but there wasn't even a text message reply. I do not recommend this company.

Repaint house and garage

The painters were vey professional and did a fabulous job. They primered where needed and put on 2 coats of paint. They were also very polite and considerate to our needs. This is the 2nd time in 12 years that we had student painters paint our house and highly recommend them.

Porch inside and out and front door

We had students come to the door earlier this year and ask if we needed anything painting. We agreed to let them come and paint our front door, and the porch area inside and out. The exterior door paint had been flaking and had holes, dings and scratches and would look much nicer filled in.  We assumed when they said they would prep the area for painting that it meant filling in the holes, etc. The estimate seemed high but we decide to help out some students and let them do the job that needed to be done. It is a fiddly job so were willing to pay someone.
Well these 2 guys arrived and worked for 1 day, and it wasn't til after they left I realized they had only sanded off old paint then slapped on new paint on top of the holes, dings, scratches, etc. They left my external stairs in a mess and I had to wash them well from the sanded paint flakes, etc. I did complain to the manager and he apologized that expectations were not met but showed me that the quote did not include filling in holes. Be very clear about what your expectations are. If I knew they would just sand and paint I would have done that myself and saved myself the $. I would not use them again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We genuinely appreciate your honesty and are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

It sounds like there was a miscommunication regarding the scope of the prep work included in your quote. We strive to ensure clarity in all our estimates, but it's clear that we fell short in this instance. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will use it to improve our communication and ensure that future clients have a clear understanding of the services provided.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your understanding and willingness to support our students. Should you have any further concerns or wish to discuss this matter in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us at office@studentworks.com or 1-800-803-1100.
