DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!
Johan talked a good game when he came to our home and explained the processes of what would go into our projects. But that was after he sent an employee who did not relay the proper information about the scope of the job.
The employee that "fixed" the door frames as per the contract did so in the worst manner that he caused more damage than was initially there. On our porch door, this guy never opened one of the french doors when he applied the latex paint to the frame. This lapse in judgement is something I would expect from someone who has never seen a paint brush. Because later in the evening when the door was opened, it pulled apart the framing.
I believe this guy must have a vision impairment, because the sheer amount of paint and caulk he left on the exterior brick of our home is ridiculous. I've seen elephants paint better than this guy. As if that were not enough, he never returned the screen door closer that he took off.
I was not surprised when after bringing these issues up to Johan, he never returned my phone calls or text messages, and never returned to finish the job as he verbally promised he would. Clear sign that this company is poorly run.
All in all you would be better off hiring a group of chimpanzees to tackle your project, than going with this company.
