    I just wanted to drop a recommendation for Strong Hammer & Brush for exterior house painting and carpentry here, in case anyone’s looking to get that type of work done. At the very beginning of this year, I got estimates from several companies to paint the exterior of my 1940s Highland Park home and to rebuild exterior stairs that were starting to rot. All estimates I received were in the same ballpark, but what I appreciated about Peter from Strong Hammer & Brush was his attention to detail, personability, and communication regarding what he and his team would do to get my home ready for painting and to preserve the longevity of my home’s exterior (I still have cedar siding, which I love). He also asked me thoughtful questions about my preferences for stair design and offered some color suggestions where I was waffling, which I appreciated. We communicated back and forth via email regarding the contract and scheduling, and Peter was quick to respond to any questions I had. Prep, painting and carpentry began on schedule and was completed pretty quickly. My house looks so lovely—I’m very happy with the work that was done. The only work that wasn’t anticipated in the initial estimate was repair of a window casing and sill where rot was discovered during pressure washing. The additional cost for materials and labor seemed very reasonable, and the repair looks great. My new exterior stairs are very nice—they are solid, really attractive and the design goes well with the style of my house. I highly recommend reaching out to Peter Shank if you’re looking to have painting and/or carpentry work done! https://www.stronghammerandbrush.com/
