The quality of work, efficiency, courtesy, and the concern of your employees to cause as little inconvenience as possible set a high standard for other painters and home repair personnel in Southern Illinois. I am confident that our house, deck, and outbuilding will remain protected from normal weathering conditions for years to come.


The information that you provided us helped us to make good choices on the type and colors of stain to be applied. The end results are a more attractive and better protected house.

Sincerely yours,

Hi Guido,

You guys did a great job. My husband's son-in-law even said so! "Nice work."

The wall space is already filled up! You helped us so much. Bless you.

Hello,

I have not had a chance to tell you how pretty everything is. I am very pleased and I do thank you.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness at the time of my mother's death. Everything went well and I am back home and on the job.

(By the way I had a delivery from Jerry's Flowers and when I opened the door the man said, "Wow! that wall looks great!" So I told him who did it.)

Dear Guido:

Below is a brief reference letter that you can put into your portfolio. If this doesn't get you into Harvard Medical School, I don't know what will.

Best,

To Whom It May Concern:

Guido Bernstein Decorative Finishes performed an exterior paint job on my home during the month of July, 2001. The project require extensive scraping of the side of the house, spackling, priming, and finish coating of the side and trim, replacement of broken window panes, and refinishing of a deck. In addition, Bernstein Decorative Finishes acted as a general contractor for other work that was performed on my property, specifically the repair and re-roofing of a storage shed. Bernstein Decorative Finishes hired a subcontractor to perform this work, taking responsibility for the supervision and payment of the subcontractor.

Through the whole project Bernstein Decorative Finishes acted in a very professional and reliable manner. The company provided me with a detailed contract specifying all work to be performed as part of the project. All the work listed in the contract was done with an exemplary level of workmanship and care. In addition, Bernstein Decorative Finishes was responsive to my request for modifications and corrections, and worked with me until I was satisfied with the job. In my experience this level of professionalism and customer service is a rare commodity and therefore to be valued highly in a contractor.

In addition to all these factors, the owner of Bernstein Decorative Finishes, Guido Bernstein, has a unique personality that makes him interesting to work with. Guido is a careful painter, an excellent marketer, and a good manager of his painting crews. He also has a philosophical outlook on life that makes him receptive to the requests of his customers and able to deal flexibly with their sometimes eccentric concerns. I expect Guido's business will continue to grow in the near future, and I recommend him strongly to anyone who needs exterior or interior painting done in a professional and caring manner.

Dear Guido,

I'm writing this letter to personally thank you and your team for the completely professional work you have done in painting my house and my store. As I think you are aware, it seems extremely unusual in your industry to encounter someone with the integrity and customer service approach your company has displayed.

You were where you said you would be, when you said you would be, or let us know when you would. You took the time to explain each phase of the work so we were aware of what was happening at all times and were very helpful in making the decisions that needed to be made.

I highly recommend your company to anyone wanting quality work with outstanding customer service.

Best Regards,

David HVidston
