I m very glad I chose Alberta Colour Painting (ACP) to manage the removal of my popcorn ceilings, together with the interior and exterior painting of my new-to-me 42-year-old home. The ACP team did a wonderful job in helping me to bring the property up to date with attention to detail and excellent work. The crew that worked at my home were consistently pleasant, professional and visibly hard-working. They were mindful of my needs and double-checked anytime they felt they were not clear on what I was requesting. I was also pleasantly surprised to have the benefit of a designer, provided by ACP, to assist me in the selection of the interior and exterior colours. I feel I received very good value for my money and I am delighted with the end result! Would happily recommend them for any of these tasks

I hired a number of different specialist contractors helping me to update an older home. I hired Eduardo to complete a list of tasks, including building a pony wall; Installing nine ceiling lights, two fan, two smoke/C02 detectors, installing new baseboards, and other basic update tasks. I kick-started his work by paying him the first half of the total quote in early June, $2500 -- there were materials involved. And advanced him another $1000 at months end in June. He was largely a no-show in July and ultimately only partially installed a pony wall (90% done), framed and drywalled a small fireplace surround, installed two ceiling lights and partially installed a ceiling fan. Most of the installs were not completed. Based on his quote I would generously say I received about $1500 in value (labour and materials) for this job. This is the first time I have given anyone a negative review on HomeStars: because it is the first time I have felt ripped-off by a service provider. I felt I was generous in fronting the payment for the work. It never occurred to me it wouldn't get done! I am so disappointed. He's a nice enough guy but being a senior on a budget, who tried to be generous and fair I felt I deserved better treatment. Probably a good choice for one-off, on-specific-day jobs. But definitely not someone who needs to self-manage a range of tasks as part of a project team, over a multi-month time horizon. Happily my brother jumped in to save the day on electrical installs and I can finish the pony wall on my own. Well do the baseboards ourselves. Now off to small claims court to recover some of my investment (so I can give it to my brother).

I was very pleased with the thorough inspection and detailed report that Randy provided concerning my new (to me) home. It wasn't my first time at the rodeo so I knew I might have erred by purchasing first and inspecting later. Randy didn't scold me, but he did identify a range of items that required attention and offered a sense of priority regarding the urgency with which I should attend to the identified deficiencies. Naturally he found a wide range of things to replace/repair that I couldn't have recognized but I also had reassurance that the fundamentals appeared to be sound. The report has the level of detail I need to contact service providers and give them the broad strokes of the work I need done -- also very useful. Randy was very pleasant to work with and was able to answer my questions in ways that helped me understand the basics without overwhelming me with technical details. Very helpful. I heartily recommend him.

I was very satisfied with the job the Aras Marble team did for me. They found some flaws in the stone I had selected and went back to the supplier to choose a perfect slab. The install went really well and my kitchen looks amazing! Thanks so much.
