CLH Painting & Power Washing

We hired Clay to wash, prep, and paint our house. We had recently moved in, it’s an old house, and it looked like it hadn’t been painted in decades. There was paint cracking and chipping off all over the west and north sides.
Clay seemed really confident that his guys could handle the job. Apparently they couldn’t. And he did little to no checking up on the job to see how they were doing.
They did a terrible job of prepping the house; it looked like they made a half-​hearted attempt at scraping SOME of the chipping and cracking paint off, but all-​in-​all spent very little time on it. They left huge areas un-​scraped. They caulked over wet, rotten wood instead of telling the wood repair guys to fix it. Any rotting wood that got fixed happened either because I pointed it out or because it was too glaring and huge to put caulk over. And the caulk job itself was messy as all get-​out.
The painting and priming were fine, but any moron can do that. Painting anything properly is all in the prep work, and these guys did a horrible, horrible job. The new paint started chipping off from the un-​prepped areas about a week after they finished.
So, bottom line is, if you have a job that needs very little prep work (no chipping paint, no damaged wood, no caulking needed) then they might do a decent job. They seem to be fine at operating a paint sprayer and handling a brush. But for anything else, best to call someone else or do it yourself.

We moved into our new home (well, new for us) about 3 years go. We loved that it was extremely low maintenance, with an all brick and vinyl exterior.
It also had 2 beautiful wood decks.
I had attempted to power wash the house myself, but was unable to get the hard to reach spots, and the mildew and mold were beyond my ability to remove.
I cam on Unilocal!to look for a local contractor and stumbled across CLH. I called Clay (the C of CLH) on a Monday morning and he was at the house a few hours later to give me a quote.
Very professional, answered all my questions completely to my satisfaction. And I did something I hardly ever do, gave him the business w/​o getting a 2^nd quote.
Clay came to the house and power washed the entire property himself. The solution he used really made the house look new again. And he totally reclaimed the decking.
A few days later, 2 of his guys came over to seal/​stain the decks. He was there as they were finishing up to make sure they did a good job. Actually, this was after he and one of them came to the house before they started to make sure they understood what was expected.
The place looks great, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone else looking for a pro.
