A skylight leak in our sunroom meant a new skylight and interior repairs. We expanded the project to include repainting our living room, entry hall, stairway and second floor landing. We obtained two estimates and chose Finer Edge although it was the higher estimate. We are very pleased to have made that choice. They were professional, courteous, punctual and completed the job on schedule. A month or more after completion, we noticed what we thought was a large drip. They returned to fix it, no questions asked. Overall, we are pleased with their work and would use Finer Edge again.

Bottom line: We're satisfied with the work done, and our walk and patio look better but the principals of Good Looking Homes are young and enthusiastic but have some rough edges. Here are some cautions: 1) They sell door to door and say that most of their customers didn't even know that the service they provide is available. Chris estimated our job at $750. When my reaction indicated that that was more than I was prepared to spend, the price dropped to $500 seconds later for the same work. I asked if our patio could be included and the price rose to $600 which I accepted, but the sales experience left me thinking that if I'd protested further, the price might have dropped again. There seemed to be no discipline in their pricing. 2) They had a four day window while we were away to do the job but it was only partly completed on schedule. 3) Our walk and patio consist of three surfaces: cement squares, slate, and brick. The power washing cleaned all three surfaces but seemed to leave some of the slate looser than it was. In spite of these comments, we are satisfied with the end result for the price paid but would suggest that prospective customers be clear at to price and timeframe. I also would suggest for slate walks that the power washing tool only be used to clear the cracks and not try to clean the slate surfaces.
