Richard,
I wanted to extend a belated thank you to you and your associates for
doing such a terrific job powerwashing the house and roof, and then
painting the trim. The house looks fantastic and you and your team
were so reliable and responsive that I will not wait as long for a
future facelift. Family, friends and neighbors have all commented on
how nice the house looks.
I am especially grateful for your professionalism in responding to my
email request, as well as your quick and accurate written estimate,
and your ability to squeeze the work in before the bad weather took
hold. You were especially prompt in responding to my communications
and requests. My concerns about having a well and powerwashing the
house seemed to be unfounded as you were careful in your approach.
Your team was incredibly polite and neat, for which I am also grateful.
Thank you again, and I will likely call you back soon for other
projects as your professionalism is so valued and appreciated. Your
excellent testimonials and references are well earned.
Best wishes,
Patricia Hennessy

Dear Rich,
Just wanted to let you know that we were very satisfied with the exterior painting
you did for us. We were especially happy that on short notice, you were able to
start and complete our job before the Holidays.
Your crew was extremely thorough and small details like wiping off the windows
after the power washing and removing leaves from the gutters was most appreciated.
We will definitely contact you again when we need more work.
Sincerely.

Dear Richard,
Enclosed is the final payment for the outstanding job done by your firm. In our 50 years of home ownership we have never been more pleased with painters and the work they did. From the power-washing outside to the complete inside living room paint job, to the windows in the master bedroom, everything was perfect.
The crew was joy to have in the house. There was never any loud radio playing, no loud talking and when they left at the end or each day things were put away and when the job was completed they put everything back exactly where we wanted it. We also want you to know that we felt very comfortable leaving the door open for them to come in in the
morning when we couldn't be here and when we left the house. Not only are they professional painters they are nice guys.
Please feel free to give our name and phone number as references to any potential customers.
Again thanks - and Merry Christmas to you and your crew.
Sincerely,
Barbara and Carleton Loucks

We recently had our home's exterior painted and deck stained by Rich Gallagher and his crew. We were very happy with their prompt, efficient service and high quality work.
Dealing with Rich's firm was easy and hassle-free from the start. He personally gave us an estimate answering all questions we had regarding proper surface preparation and materials to be used. Drawing upon his years of experience, Rich made suitable recommendations for treating particularly troublesome areas. We were also pleased to hear that be used only premium paints, stains and primers for long lasting durability and appeal.
We were dually impressed by Rich's crew as they were punctual, efficient and courteous. Their attention to detail on trim and window areas was impressive and, despite a few days of rain, the job was completed in a timely fashion.
We are happy to recommend Rich Gallagher and his team. They provide solid advice and efficient, high quality service at a fair price.

Dear Richard,
It was a pleasure for us to have you paint the entire downstairs. Spending 3 1/2 weeks together could have been difficult, yet you, the foreman and his crew attended to every detail with a smile. Most importantly, the expertise of your painting knowledge was evident in the results. The rooms look wonderful and my husband and I are delighted with the results.
We would be happy to recommend your company to any perspective customers. In the future, if we need additional work done, there is no doubt you would be the first person we will contact!
Thank you and we wish you continued success. Best regards,

Dear Richard.
I want to thank you and your terrific crew for the excellent job you did on our home. The attention to detail during the preparation, prior to the paint application, was superior and the paint application was done in the utmost professional manner.
Your crew is excellent and very trustworthy. We didn't ever feel like we needed to lock the house when we left, which gave us great piece of mind. They cleaned up the job site each night and they were very mindful of working around our comings and goings each day.
The home looks fabulous and the color turned out to be beautiful. Thank you for taking so much time fussing with me to get it right, it sure paid off!
We would recommend you to any other customers so please feel free to give them our name and number: 203-245-5742

Dear Rich,
We have been meaning to write you for quite some time to thank you for the excellent work, flexibility and sensitivity that you and your team provided, in painting our new home. As you will recall, we had to move into our new home before it was finished.
The thought of other subcontractors, in addition to you, being in our house daily while we were living there, could have been a very frustrating and stressful experience. In reality, it could not have worked out better.
We were very impressed with your concern for us, your flexibility in timing and how neat you and your crew were each day in making sure that everything was clean when you finished.
The quality of your workmanship speaks for itself. I think that the attention to detail in preparation and painting realty made a difference. And your expertise and recommendations for making the finished product even better were greatly appreciated.
If you have potential customers that would like to give us a call, we would welcome the opportunity.

Dear Richard,
Thanks again for the very agreeable and efficient work done by you and your crew at our properties on Turtle's Point, Guilford, during August of the past summer. The paint miracle performed on 2 Sagamore Street and 13 Rock Lane put those two houses in very good shape for the years ahead, and made them look two hundred percent better!
I've said it before, and I’ll say it again, your crew and you, their boss, are the most agreeable painters I've ever employed in twenty years of owning several houses, both in Guilford and in Mattapoisett. I appreciate the careful and thorough preparation, excellent paint application, and neat work habits, as well as the cheerful presence of all of you. And I can even say 1 look forward to the next paint job!
Thank you.

Dear Richard:
You have done an outstanding job in interior painting of my new condominium, here at the Mews. This is the fourth home I have had built for me and as a result I had gained considerable experience with contractors. All the houses I have had were custom painted, which is so much more difficult and exacting to do than the spray painting commonly done these days. In my opinion a custom paint job is what gives a home that extra touch of beauty and elegance.
You and your workers have exceeded all my expectations and last but not least you were prompt in your work, met your schedule and met my cost estimates.
Let me wish you people continuing success in your painting business because you are truly good at it.
Do not hesitate to use me as a reference

Dear Rich:
Tom and I just wanted to take a few minutes to let you know how pleased we are with the job you and your crew did painting our home last month. It looks spectacular!!
Equally important as to how it looks is the fact that the whole experience was stress and trouble free. You and your crew were efficient, punctual, and very, very thorough. I appreciated the fact that you personally were on site 100% of the time as well. I always knew that at the end of the day, any trash would be picked up and your painting equipment would be stored safely. With two toddlers running around, it was a relief to know that a ladder would never be left leaning against the house!
As well, all of the little details that make a paint job look 'finished' were handled meticulously. The trim was outlined beautifully, as were small things such as the deck rails and downspouts. And al the end of the job, not a trace was left of your crew, except the beautiful paint job.
If you would ever need a reference from a satisfied client, please feel free to use my name.

Dear Richard:
I am writing to thank you for the superior job you did painting our home this past Fall. You handled the entire project in a thoroughly professional manner, from your first visit and estimate, through the completion of the job.
You and your team were prompt, courteous, meticulous and clean. It was also reassuring to see you at the job site on a daily basis, managing the team and working along side of them. You met all of your deadlines and stayed within your estimate.
As you know, Katherine and I are thrilled with the results. We were very sensitive to the color of our home, the ability to match that color exactly, and the care that needed to be taken, considering its age. You matched the colors perfectly, did a wonderful job prepping, scraping and priming, and finished each day by cleaning so thoroughly, that there was hardly a trace of evidence that a project was underway.
I look forward to working with you again in the future, and please feel free to use me as a reference for future customers.

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is written in recommendation of the painting services of Mr. Richard Gallagher and may be used as a reference document with our enthusiastic approval.
Mr. Gallagher and his crew power washed (on August 29) and after the Labor Day weekend and two rainy days painted the outside of our 4 bedroom colonial at the above address on September 6 and 7, 2002.
His work and that of his crew was exemplary. He was on time, kept us informed of our status in his schedule, and when he did the work his crew was quiet, courteous, very efficient and hard-working
We were amazed at how fast they painted our home, cleaned up, and left everything in order and sparkling when they left.
After three very negative experiences in having our home painted in the last fifteen years, working with Mr. Gallagher was a welcomed positive and painless experience. Our house looks like a million dollars, the work was done carefully, yet quickly, and exactly to our specifications, and we found his pricing to be fair and reasonable.
We can heartily recommend his services. We are so pleased we are already planning to have him do some inside work this coming winter
Sincerely yours,

We appreciate your thoroughness and the professionalism displayed by you and your crew. You were in our home for four entire days and (except for our house looking like it had been shrink-wrapped) we hardly knew you were there. Irene especially was grateful for the way you cleaned up after your work was done every day. You were thorough and expedient and did not waste any time. You did an exceptional painting job and we are very pleased with the way our home looks. You certainly did live up to your reputation Richard, and we would not hesitate to hire you again.

This was a big job, covering every room of the house. While no one would relish having workmen in the house for four weeks, your team did everything possible to minimize the disruption of our normal routine.
I also appreciated our daily status phone calls. You gave me confidence throughout the project that every detail would be one exactly as I wanted. And, it was!
We won't hesitate to house you again whenever we have painting needs in the future. We with be recommending you highly to friends and neighbors. You are welcome to share this letter with potential customers if you would like.

I want to thank you formally for the excellent and professional job you and your crew did on my house and garage in Madison. It was a large undertaking which required a great deal of preparatory work as well as a significant amount of coordination with another contractor working on replacing the roof. You completed everything on schedule; the work was of the highest quality; and, perhaps of more or at least equal importance, you were an absolute pleasure to work with!
I would be delighted to serve as a reference should you need one.

We were impressed with the professional way you bid the job; you came right over when I called, you wrote up the bid detailing everything we could expect to be included in the quote, and you were competitively priced.
Your crew was wonderful. They arrived at eight o'clock daily and worked straight through with only a brief lunch break. They were courteous, hard-working, and very good painters.

Dear Mr. Gallagher:
This note is to state how pleased we were with your work at our house in Clinton. As you know we are in the process of renovating (to a degree) the house and had started the work in some of the rooms. Your work met the criteria of finish that we had established and in fact exceeded it.
The house has been in my wife's family all these years and was built by her great-great-great grandfather in the 1840's. Therefore, the work had special significance to us. Your efforts were much appreciated.
