"We were completely dissatisfied with this company, to say the least! First of wall, as soon as we provided the initial payment - one half of the total, the job didn't resume for 3 days and we were then advised that they wouldn't be back for a week due to the corona virus. We also had to remove the debris ourselves. In addition: 1. Thursday, March 19, 2002 at which time you were given a check for $2,031.00, directly after which you left the property. returned and advised that, until Monday, March 23, 2020. 2. On March 23, 2020 you advised that due to your employees’ concerns about the corona virus, your company would not be continuing the project for the remainder of the week. 3. I requested that the bags of debris in my mother’s front yard be removed but remained in my mother’s yard. 4. On March 23rd, approximately 20 bags of debris in my mother’s front yard. 5. Approximately six days later the bags were still in her yard and I contacted Straight Line again about its removal and was assured they would be removed, and yet again they were not. We had to have them removed on two separate occasions – for the rear bedroom and hall. 6. Notwithstanding our denial of access, its employees threw wood into the backyard. 7. This company lied on several occasions about insulation in the rear bedroom – had originally only installed only partially – and only completely when we addressed it. Initially Odes said the entire room was done, then when we showed him that it was not, he acted surprised and blamed his employees. 8. Without authorization or directive, they threw away the light fixtures from the rear bedroom and hallway. When I inquired about this, you simply stated they didn’t work. This was not true and the careless way it was dismissed this matter was unprofessional and insulting. 9. They installed wood to repair the rear bedroom floor, which was almost three times the size of the original slats. Although replaced, they are still noticeably larger than the originals. 10. communicated this matter to you via email. 11. These wood basins were replaced in such a fashion to make them jut out from the wall and was cut in very odd places. On April 7, 2020, Odes admitted that the wood basins were cut prior to installation because it would not fit in his truck and refused to fix them. 12. No shoe molding was installed. Upon inspection and when I inquired Odes responded that he did not put any because if another floor is installed it will have to be removed. 13. Straight Line Painters and Services only removed half of the ceiling, insisting that the other half of it was in great condition and left large lumps in the ceiling where the drywall meets. 14. The hallway walls were not adequately sanded so that lumps are apparent everywhere and the painting was sparse and clearly not enough to adequately cover the walls. 15. One if its employees sat in the rear bedroom window seal and cracked the wood 16. No tarp was used so that floor in bedroom and hall had large amounts of dried compound all over the floors. 17. Wood basins near front door of bedroom have gauged out wood from removal of old top molding. 18. Bottom shoe molding was not replaced 19. Compound at top and bottom of both windows cracked and bulging. 20. Rear wall has dents and exposed tape from sanding 21. Wood basins from window to window are not flush and even where the wood was cut was not butted properly and needs repair. Compound was used to attempt to repair the damage from installation and it flaked off and fell to the floor. 22. Drywall tape exposed in different places after sanding 23. Wood basin top molding near second window (wall near entrance door) has gaps on either side. It was cut too short and no attempt was made to repair or replace it 24. All corners need smoothing 25. Some areas of compound were not sanded but rather just painted over. 26. When asked to repair the exposed seams and holes where the wall and window jams meet, Odes advised that this was the job for a painter. 27. The drywall around and under the windows was cut too short leaving gaps and holes around it. 28. Odes unwilling to address the cracks between the wood used to repair the floor but acknowledged that his staff mistakenly cut into the wood already on the floor on either side of repairs. 29. the wood that was replaced on the second window (employee mistakenly threw away the original) was cut too short at the top and bottom. Odes was not willing to remedy this, stating that it was typical and just caulked. This is not so it was cut noticeably too short. As evidenced by pictures, Straight Line Painters and Services’ work product was unsatisfactory, unprofessional, and the ending result was a great many matters were left incomplete, unaddressed and were merely talked over and waved away as if it was nothing, to our complete dismay and utter dissatisfaction. It was a nightmare! We grew weary of Odes’ excuses, and the company’s unwillingness to address the problems associated with this project In closing, we are completely dissatisfied with this company’s services, unwillingness to listen to the customer, blatant ignorance of customer’s concerns, and refusal to provide professional, quality services. We found this company to be untruthful on several occasions, and they refused to make necessary repairs due to your company’s faulty workmanship The job was done very poorly, they refused to make adjustments due to their faulty workmanship, told repeated lies and to add insult to injury at the end of the job Odes said, "I don't even know how or where YOU people found me, I don't usually deal with your kind. You think you have a crib; you should see my house. I live in NJ. You people live in the ghetto. I am from Nigeria and Americans do not have respect.” What a nasty and racist remark to make! It was both unnecessary, uncalled for and hurtful and I think others should know what they are dealing with if they are unfortunate enough to encounter this company. THEY ARE HORRIBLE! I have never experienced anything like this in my life and I have the pictures to prove it. This was a project to help my elderly mother and Straight-Line Painters and Services turned it into a disaster that we must hire another company to fix! They have no idea what they are doing and should never touch another person’s home!"

"I am thrilled with the paint job provided by John and his team! They were all very friendly, and the job was more thorough than I could have imagined. They pressure washed everything, resealed all the windows and doors even areas that were not sealed before, patched not only all the woodpecker holes in the siding, but even built up some other damaged areas before painting. They went above and beyond my expectations. John is quick to respond and easy to work with."

"I cannot thank and rave about Michael enough. My husband and I bought our first property and needed someone to fix some issues before we moved in. We had zero experience with home improvement projects or contractors and initially went with Michael out of other people we spoke to because he was communicative and professional. That one decision to work with him was the best decision we made through my this process. Saying that we felt taken care of from start to finish is and understatement. Over the course of a few weeks, Michael transformed our apartment. He communicated any issues that came up as he and his crew worked and would give us solutions at different price points and never pressured us to make s decision that was out of our budget. For example, our baseboards were from the 1950s and needed to be replaced. However once they were removed, the crew quickly realized that any new baseboards, which are about half the thickness of the 1950s ones, would reveal a gap in our flooring and would likely mean that we’d have to replace the floors (that weren’t in good condition anyway but I wanted to try to keep them because they were hardwood). By the time we got to the apartment to talk through options, Michael had already done so much research on our top ions, including calling multiple custom baseboard vendors to buy thicker boards to cover the gap because he knew I had said that I’d wanted to keep the floors. As a first time property owner with little knowledge on possible solutions, we felt fully taken care of by his expertise. After weighing all the options, we ended up with new baseboards and new engineered hardwood floors and we could not be happier with the results! Michael goes above and beyond for his clients. When I picked a paint color and decided that I had made a terrible mistake and wanted to repaint the walls white, I reluctantly told Michael thinking he’d be annoyed. His response was white the opposite—he came over 15 minutes later on a Sunday afternoon with books of paint color samples and reassured us that everything would be okay and finished on time even if we repainted. It’s was so comforting to be supported in what could have been a stressful delay. He even helped us pick a paint color and we’re obsessed with it! Finally, Michael’s communication snd professionalism continued throughout the entire process. He was always available to talk about ideas, help us make decisions, or offer guidance when we needed it. At the end of job, he gave us a copy of every receipt from the purchases of the materials as well as an itemized receipt. He truly was a pleasure to work with and we were sad to part ways but we’re already saving up for a bathroom and kitchen refresh and know exactly who we will be calling—MK General Contractor!"
