In 1997 he repaired a minor leak in the front deck and
performed major floor replacement before sealing a leak in the
rear deck in our Reprise floor plan (other Reprise owners have
had similar issues). I had another re-sealing done by him a few
years later as needed. He did a very good job and seems to be
reasonably priced. Resealed decks again in 2008. He can do more
than just sealing process including necessary repair work. Past
experience with his work is very good and I would recommend him.

what to do, even though we didn't buy the items there. Great

When Eric the Painter moved to Texas he passed his business
on to Mike. We all loved Eric so were apprehensive about his
replacement, but Mike has turned out to be a wonderful painter
also and a really nice guy. He has painted several of my rooms
inside, and done both interiors and exteriors for clients had
done good prep work and a good paint job. I highly
recommend him.

We recently had the exterior of our home and decorative trim
around interior windows painted. Orlando's team of four are very
professional , reasonable and DETAILED. They did a thorough
power wash before prepping for two days and used quality paint
with Enducryl to prevent fading on our 25-year old shingles. I
have done many projects and they are by far the BEST painters I
have ever had.

to paint exterior shingles and trim. Did a great job at a
reasonable price. Following Gary Brenkman's recommendation, I
