Manor Works Painting

Manor Works has done a wonderful job at my home. They answered the phoned, showed up for the initial appointment. He was able to give me a price on the spot and we approved the work.
They also gave me a scheduled date for completion for the work. The date did move from weather but I was kept informed.
The work staff was courteous and professional.

Let’s put it this way: after I hired these guys to paint my bathroom, I decided it was a better idea to to the rest of my place myself.
Over the course of the last year, I’ve probably painted about 800 – 900 sq ft of rooms. Before that I had pretty much no experience painting except chipping in on things like fences and house exteriors, which require little skill.
I got the Manor Works «painter for a day,» and first went through multiple rounds of scheduling issues. First, although I had confirmed via email that the painter was scheduled for a day, it was not in their system, so no one was available to come that day. The next time, they had more scheduling issues and sent two painters for half a day instead of one for a whole day. I work during the day, so this was an obvious pain.
All of the work was in my tiny tiny condo bathroom, so I’m pretty sure I did not get the same money’s worth out of those two guys tripping over each other in there than I would have been with one painter working all day, but I was not given any sort of discount.
The job they did?
The good:
— The major work was to sand and repaint my bathroom ceiling, which was in bad shape. It looked great by the time they finished.
— Walls generally looked nice as well, although they clearly only had time for one coat given the paint’s dry time (I provided Benjamin Moore Kitchen and Bath)
— They were good about dropcloths in my hallway and had no paint there
The bad:
— Sloppy edging along the metal border to my shower (I’ve since edged on metal — if you use tape you can get a near-​perfect line)
— Long drip of paint on the floor in the bathroom — fortunately it had not cured and I was able to get it up with my fingernails
— Area above the door not painted — there’s not a lot of space here, but I am going to go back in and do it myself with a small brush as they should have done
They finished up right at the 4-​hour mark so I expect they were rushing at the end. Again it was not a very efficient 4 hours.
So, my advice, unless you have something really terrible that needs to be done (like sanding the hell out of a bathroom ceiling before repainting it), do it yourself. I bought a $ 30 Wagner hand crank/​pump roller from Amazon, and the other needed accessories, including TAPE, and did the rest of my place myself (I did do a lot of reading on the Internet to learn how to paint properly). If you use tape properly (press down on it with a putty knife to prevent bleeding), you can do a much better job than at least these pros.
