I had some requests to share, so here are all the responses I got from the list serv for contractors to do a small amount of exterior painting on our house: "Over 30 years of experience. Fully insured, neat, clean and on time. Old fashion work ethic with modern ideas. Free estimates, call and ask for Painter Steve Tierno 412.537.7572 <(412)%20537-7572>." "Christian Paul of Work Pittsburgh, Dear friend and coworker (412) 595-6176" "We had Andrew Clickner paint our railings. He did a good job. Andrew Clickner 814-547-1239 <(814)%20547-1239>" "Jonathan chamberlain is wonderful for painting." "My husband, of Union Construction and Renovations, can give a free estimate." "Dan Hinchman did our exterior painting (and many projects inside for us). He does great work and is reliable. You can reach him at 412-337-2672 <(412)%20337-2672> or dhinchman@verizon.net." "We had a bad experience with Dan Hinchman so I would not recommend him." -- --------------------------------------- Illustration, Animation, Design www.greencommamedia.com
