Cutting Edge did a fantastic job and exceeded all my expectations. The owner, John, have us a quote precovid, when we finally called back over a year later he offered to use the same quote, we had expected it to go up with inflation and labor shortages. We needed a significant amount of siding replaced which John assured us they would handle at no additional price even with the price of lumber going up. They replaced it all (and there was a LOT), even areas I hadn't noticed needed replacing. Cesar is an an absolute professional and great to work with. I would hire this company again in a moment

Jacob and Antonio were super nice and did a fantastic job. They repaired the drywall and painted several areas. John, the owner, is very helpful and knows just about anything there is to know about interiors.

We were very satisfied with the painting of our bedroom ceiling and walls, including 2 built-in bookcases. John and Lyvan were very careful and efficient and finished the job in less time that originally quoted. The room is beautiful and everything was put back in place before the day was over. I have no hesitation giving them my highest recommendation.

However, it was quickly becoming an ordeal with the abatement company due to them having to redo their work and much more. This displaced us from our home for longer than what was necessary. Yet, this company (Cutting Edge) was amazing and was definitely a sharp contrast to the other. They really did go above and beyond to ensure that we had a house that we could
