Oliver in Richmond

We bought a roughly 2,200 sqft 4-bedroom 2-bathroom house in White Rock, BC and asked a few painting companies to come give us quotes on repainting the interior (all walls, roughly 1,050 sqft of ceiling, a few doors and trims; 2 walls needed wall paper removal). Christian, the owner of White Rock Painters, showed up for his appointment on time. We immediately liked Christian as he was very professional and courteous. He took time to answer all our questions. White Rock Painters use Dulux paint, which is very high quality paint (perhaps not as high as Sherwin Williams, but Dulux is up there). Christian believed that the job could be done with 2 coats, while some painting companies quoted us 3 coats for more money. Christian's quote ended up being one of the lowest, and his quote came in the night of his initial visit. Another painting company gave a lower quote but the quote came in 3 days after the initial visit. We decided to go with Christian. It took Christian's crew 3 days to finish the job, and the end result looked excellent! It really only took 2 coats, as Christian said. When Christian's crew finished, they missed a few spots (as expected). Christian promised that he would return to finish the job, and told us that we could withhold some payments till the job was actually completed. we gave him the full payment anyway since we could tell that he was a upstanding guy. We actually gave him 2 small but extra jobs (paint a little piece of ceiling and a door) that was not in the original scope, and we told him to charge us extra. Christian came back, as promised, actually 2 times to finish the job to our satisfaction. And he didn't charge us for the 2 extra jobs! Moreover: Before Christian's return, another crew came in and installed new baseboards throughout the first floor over the newly painted walls. They left a thin strip of a different color above the baseboard on one of the walls. Since it was a small job, we didn't want to bother Christian since we knew he was busy (lots of jobs in the summer for him), and we were going to do it ourselves. During his return, Christian fixed that strip of different color without our asking. He didn't charge us extra for it. In fact, he made no mention of it. What a class act! He truly went above and beyond. We would definitely hire White Rock Painters again, and we would definitely recommend Christian and his crew to our friends and family.

We bought a house in White Rock, BC and called A Priority Locksmiths to rekey the locks. Ken, the owner, showed up on time. Ken was very nice and professional. It took him about 1 hour to rekey 6 locks and made 3 sets of keys. He also helped us fix one lock that was misaligned while he was at it. The bill was a very reasonable $228. We are renting the property out, and when tenants change, we definitely will get Ken to rekey the house again.
