10/10

Prorise painting helped me sell my condo fast and at above the listed price. The total cost of painting was less than 1% of the condo value. But that investment returned more than 10 times its cost. The quality of work turned my average condo into a wow. The company's goals of quality and customer satisfaction ensured that the end product was stunning and professional. As well, the job was completed quickly so I could get my condo on the market fast. Prorise Painting completed the job based on my needs and budget, not theirs. They helped me sell my condo by providing with the following service: 1) They provided advice on what to do to get the most bang for my buck. Joseph provided concrete advice on how to increase the value of my condo. He suggested I change the colour, paint the walls, ceilings and touch up the baseboards. Initially, I baulked, but eventually, with much thought, and no pressure from him, I followed his advice. I am glad I did because the results were awesome. 2) They provided me with a new colour palette that was neutral and appealing. When I decided to list my 15-year-old condo it needed a facelift. A new paint job would freshen it up. But, for maximum effect, the colour needed to change. Too much green and white. Joseph advised me on what colours were trending, and what would work with my space. He only suggested and did not push me into any decisions. When my realtor saw the space with the new colour he was impressed. 3) They kept their word on scheduling, even when they suffered manpower problems. One of the painters who was scheduled to help paint my unit became ill and could not work. To make up for this, Robert, the remaining painter, worked overtime, that I did not pay for. He also stayed two extra days until the job was done. 4) They provided a professional final appearance, even though they had to do additional work that was not in the quote, and that I did not pay for. After the job was almost completed, according to the work specified by the quote, Robert decided it needed another coat of paint to look professional. Robert contacted Joseph who authorized him to add another coat. I was not charged for this extra work or material. But it made all the difference to the final product.

Given the leaky condo crisis in the lower mainland, I wanted to be sure that I had the best home inspection possible. So after much research I chose THE Home Inspection company. I wanted an independent home inspector, not one who was dependent on referrals from real estate agents. Ted provided me with advice before I had even hired him. I sent him copies of the listings I was interested in and he provided advice as to what was good or bad about them. He inspected the home I made an offer on, and it was the best investment I made in my home. My real estate agent tried to get me to use a "cheaper" home inspector. Ted's services cost more than most other home inspectors, until you compare what he provides. His home inspection will take 2 to 3 times as long as other inspectors, because he checks every nook and cranny that is accessible to him. He inspected not just the condo unit, but also the complex. His home inspection left me confident in the purchase I made, and he also provided the information I needed, as a first time home owner. When my sister was looking to purchase a condo, I insisted she use Ted. She did and she was very happy. She provided a copy of the home inspection to her mortgage provider who was also impressed with the quality of the report and the home inspection. If I buy another home, I will use THE Home Inspection Company to do the home inspection.

Hi Jean, I'm so pleased to hear from you considering we did your inspection in 2005, thank you for referring your sister Denise. It was quite a pleasure meeting your sister and inspecting her townhome, this last November. Denise's mortgage broker was quite exceptional in that he had researched the complex and found several unresolved issues. My report did not paint a glowing portrait but rather; like most complexes, I discovered maintenance related issues that thankfully are reasonably manageable.
Happy trails.... like really!
Ted
