I"m a niche interior painting specialist and I worked directly with Giertsen on a project outside my typical service offering for a former client that requested me and I have a close relationship with. Specifically, I worked directly with Betty for administrative support, Kwynn for project management, and Alan as the lead tradesman on site as well as meeting Tyler and Dave who work with this Giertsen team as well.

I found Giertsen professional, hard working, and most importantly, affectual and engaged in making this project a success so that the Starr family could get moved in before the holidays. It was an emotional experience for the Starr's having sold their other home, and this one being under distress having caught on fire and therefore needing restoration in the first place after an initial upgrade process had already been completed.

The degree of difficulty in this renovation was high as there were special orders, custom finishes, and an accelerated timeline in addition to obstacles that any insurance project encounters. As an outside contractor temporarily joining Giertsen's team I felt welcome, supported, and proud to be a part of bringing a family and their home together with a high standard of excellence.

There were challenges, it wasn't always smooth. Logistics in these projects can be daunting. But those challenges were always met with flexibility and productivity. Overall Giertsen met the Starr's timeline restoring the home to it's former state, even better with the cleaned ductwork and other supplemental work Geirtsen does as part of the entire restoration process for residential properties.

I completed the paintwork on this very same home with these very same homeowners not six months back, and have intimate knowledge of both and this entire experience. That said, I'm confident that Giertsen was the right company for the Starr's fire renovation and happy I got to know the team and serve a small role with them toward bringing such an unfortunate situation to recovery and closure for an awesome family.
