Dear
Michael,
This letter is to thank you for the excellent work
you have done on our houses here in Gainesville and
in Cedar Key. You and your brothers have shown such
care and thought in the way you restored our old house
in Gainesville. Every inch, outside and in, has been
improved by your painting and carpentry. You really
went out of your way to make sure
the work was authentic, from the choice of colors
to replacing the carved finials on the terrace with
exact replicas. Both in Gainesville and in Cedar Key
your work has been fairly priced and accomplished
with skill. Your work has shown real dedication to
detail and we have always been 100% satisfied.
It has also been a pleasure dealing with such cultured
and simpatico people. It was so convenient to be able
to trust you with the keys to both our homes, without
hesitation or concern. You have become almost like
family members and we wish you all the good luck in
the world. Please do not hesitate to have other customers
contact us for a reference.

Michael,
I wanted to drop you guys a line to tell you how
much we enjoy coming home since 1st Impression cleaned
and painted the exterior of our house. Its funny,
even three weeks later, I am still finding places
that have been painted that I didn’t even know
existed. We feel that our plain house really shines
now. Your attention to detail and thoroughness has
set you apart from any other contractor we have used.
Emily and I really appreciated your friendly and
casual demeanor on the job. We also will remember
your patience and willingness to complete just the
job we wanted without creating extra costs.
We have recommended you to our neighbors who have
shown appreciation for your work and also to friends
and colleagues. Please feel free to refer any potential
customers to myself or Emily, as we will have nothing
but good things to say about 1st Impression.
Cheers,
Justin

To whom it may concern,
My wife and I are very satisfied with the work done
by the Ly brothers. They are honest, hard working
young men who cut no corners, and do a great job.
We would call them again and do so before we called
anyone else.

Dear Michael,
Joan and I are pleased to recommend 1st Impression
Painting & Services, Inc. When I decided to paint
our house, a 1881 (plus additions) structure in Gainesville's
NE historic district, I asked for bids from only painters
who had experience prepping and painting houses made
of wood with substantial detail work and multi-storied.
I asked 1st Impressions to bid because I liked the
work you did at the Johnson and Woodhouse places on
NE Boulevard. I was very pleased when your bid turned
out to be low.
Your brother, Benny, is a master painter and a master
of detail. I don't think our house, which is mostly
simple construction, ever had its features pointed
out so clearly in paint-rattails, hardware, and so
forth. All the work was well prepped and all the paint
of the best quality was carefully applied by hand,
in multiple coats where necessary. The results are
very good and the total cost did not exceed the bid
price.
We heartily recommend that anyone looking for an excellent
paint job get in touch with you.
Sincerely,
Sam Gowan
