I had Sea To Sea Painting do both my own home a year ago, and my Mother's house this year for complete exterior house painting and am very pleased about their service and quality of work. The work was completed on time as contracted, the site cleaned up after the job, and protected during the project.
The same crew did both jobs, indicating to me that this is not some fly by night operation, and were extremely helpful to both my Mom and my wife, answering their sometimes trying questions
I have had a lot of experience dealing with contractors and learned that the lowest price is not always the best deal. In this case while not the lowest cost, the price was fair, given the quality of materials. A cheap price today is soon forgotten after 4 years when it needs to be redone. Labour costs are relatively fixed, so the greatest variable in project cost is the material cost.
In both my cases I chose a Flood stain from Nobel, that while expensive to buy, should be cheaper in the long run and yield acceptable quality over the anticipated 15 year life of the project.
There are no shortage of painting contractors and how does one choose? Sea To Sea did 2 great jobs for me and comes highly recommended.
