We just moved into our condo and painting was one of the first projects on our list. When we moved in, there were some adhesion issues in the corners where paint had stripped off and lots of holes from previous nails and hookups. Lookswell did impeccable work on caulking and sanding, these rooms look completely new now. Their work was precise and efficient. They were also very patient with us as we had to reschedule a few times due to travel and work. Overall, fantastic service and we would both recommend Lookswell and use them again. Thank you for playing a part in making our new place feel like home!
Imagine coming home for the new year and seeing your kitchen "raining." What a way to start 2025. I definitely underestimated how slow water damage is until what I thought was a very small leak from my upstairs neighbor grew from a 1/4-centimeter gap to over 3 inches. I remembered how much I liked Adrian when he fixed our screen door locks and painted our exterior doors, but I didn't think Lookswell Painting did any kind of mounting or cabinet repairs. After an exhausting amount of estimates and insurance calls, I finally contacted them thinking, "The worst they can tell me is 'no.'" To my delight, they agreed to investigate my cabinet sagging and the water damage. (As luck would have it, my over-the-range microwave survived and had no damage at all.) Instead of Adrian, Guillermo showed up, who was friendly, informative and easy to work with. We did have a hiccup with the microwave, which ended up being broken during the remount. That is the only reason I'm not giving this a five-star review. For consumers, I STRONGLY recommend filming and showing your electronic appliances work BEFORE any contractor arrives. It's difficult to prove that an appliance used to work (especially during a water damage repair) when it stops working mid-job. Couple other critiques were that the microwave doors were out of alignment and one set of cabinet doors was put in upside down. Although Jim (the owner) is absolutely NOT a people person and could've made a bad situation much much much worse, I respect that Guillermo was reasonably cool and Anthony (office manager) was professional and polite too. To Jim's credit, he did offer a happy medium with the microwave that my insurance would cover. I was relieved when Guillermo returned with Angel because this was a two-person job in the first place and over-the-range microwaves are heavy. Although it was obvious that Guillermo was not nearly as enthused be there the second time around, he and Angel did the job that needed to be done. He also tested and photographed the microwave remount and made sure I did too. I've walked past my kitchen and smile every time I see that the cabinet and microwave are fixed. Family came over for my birthday and also complimented the work this week. Even through the hiccups, I would still say this is a job well done and would continue to recommend them to others since 2020. While I wish it could've been a smooth repair the way the other one was, life happens. I still respect this company's work.
Lookswell is an excellent family owned company. I received a few quotes from different paint companies but when Jim came by I knew I was going to be in good hands. He was extremely personable and knew exactly what he was talking about. I had a lot of patch work and painting to be done. Tommy and Omar did excellent work and paid very close attention detail. They were very clean, accommodating and provided the great service I was expecting. I will be recommending this company to all of my family and friends.
