What customers said about painting
Ridgeline and Todd Bantz, the project manager, did a great job with my home repairs after a burst pipe issue- the crews selected for painting, cabinetry, and flooring were top notch- I will be using Ridgeline for future projects as well.
Great experience working with Oak Standard! Everyone (Joseph, Maria, Steve, Nolvin, Daniel, Doron, Billy/Brian/crew, Jesus) was a pleasure to work with and would use again for future projects. Thank you for making my kitchen, bathroom, coffee bar, laundry/mudroom beautiful! We had a tall order and you all pulled it…
They made a stressful situation so easy to handle, they did all the work. (Hail Storm) I'm a bookkeeper and I find picking colors etc very stressful. They handled that too. The entire process was so easy.
Quality work! We very much appreciated that once the paint dried on the new wood around our garage doors that they came back and hit them with a second coat! The columns on our porch look great too!
Ridgeline did all projects that we agreed upon. When finished Ben (the project manager) did not like the way the paint matched up on a small section of the house and came out and repainted the area himself.
Ridgeline Contractors is hands down-down the best company I have worked with. Their attention to detail is second to none and all employees were extremely polite and on time. I would highly recommend them for any roofing, remodeling or mitigation needs. Todd did a phenomenal job overseeing the project and exceeded expectations.
