Fascia Boards and Sophits painted

Paint & Wallpaper Contractors review in Victoria

So, I hired Scholars Edge to paint my fascia and sophits this summer and had a less than desirable outcome. But we paid for the job (after we requested a new crew) and thought it was what we should expect from a student company. After leaving a review on this site which accurately summarized the job, I was contacted by the company owner who wanted to make things right. And I would have to say that he succeeded. Since fixing the job took some time and we lost our good weather window, the crew worked very hard to ensure that the project was done right despite the wetter weather; they tried different paints and primers and techniques. In the end, Scholars Edge went above and beyond to satisfy this customer. I would definitely recommend them, but just advise that if you feel that something is not going right, contact the head office, they'll make sure the job gets done right.

Fascia Boards and Sophits painted

Paint & Wallpaper Contractors review in Victoria

I unfortunately had to fire the first painter (also the area manager) that came to do this job as he was not scraping or sanding the surface to prep the job - just started painting over chipping, blistering old paint. When I asked him to scrape and sand he (told a falsehood - can't say "lyed" here) and said he had done that, but the paint flakes were too obvious to believe him. The company removed him immediately when I called and let them know what was going on. However, it took over a month to get a replacement, and while the replacement was better than the first guy, the job is not quality - he still left behind a lot of previous blisters and I had to ask him to caulk the gap between the fascia board and the trim so it looked nice. We see other painters in the neighbourhood (Oak Bay - so beautiful expensive character homes) that totally strip and sand the fascia board prior to painting. Bottom line, if you want a cheap job that doesn't look professional, then hire scholars edge. I will call them if I need my shed painted.
