My husband contacted Specialized Refinishing online and someone responded right away. Pricing was good so we scheduled appointment to have work done, quick appointment. Herms prepped and painted our harvest gold fiberglass tub white. He showed up on time and was very polite and friendly. Very professional. He did an awesome job! We are very pleased with the outcome!
