Date: 11/30/17 To: Whom it may Concern Re: Reference for Dan Larsen, Final Touch From: Ann McCarthy We had Dan do the painting on our home of 40 years in Telluride. He did such a great job that I had him also do the painting on a large fourplex that I manage. He is timely. Dan arrives in the morning when he says he’s going to. He is very thorough and meticulous. The scraping, sanding, and priming actually gets done the way it is supposed to - so that it will last for more then a year. He is very tidy. Dan takes the time to clean up the mess made by the prep work as he goes - daily. So, one is not left with living in a mess. He is knowledgeable and experienced. He knows when the best time of day is to paint on surfaces that are the right temperature. If it is too hot or cold the paint will not adhere properly. He is creative when patching a problem area. By the time is is done, you can’t even tell that there was a problem. I highly recommend Dan to take care of all your painting needs. He was a pleasure to work with.

I've been working with Dan Larsen of Final Touch Finishes, for over 16 years. Dan painted the interior of my personal home in 2001, and I was so impressed, I've asked him to work with me on every professional painting job I've had since. Dan does A+ work on every job, with an incredible eye towards detail. As the owner of my own Interior Design firm, the most impressive qualities Dan exhibits are his timeliness and trustworthiness. He has never missed a client deadline and most importantly, he is one of only a handful of subcontractors I can trust with entry codes and keys to my client's homes. It's nice to know not only that the home will always be secured when he leaves, but that the pride he takes in cleanup, means it will be left spotless every single time. His restoration work on historical buildings in Telluride is impressive, to say the least. Two years ago, over a busy holiday season, I was in a bind to secure all of the labor help I needed to complete a last minute client request. I gave Dan a call & asked if he would be interested in helping to assemble & install furniture. He obliged and did a great job. Since then, he's been my "go-to" guy for miscellaneous tasks such as installing drapery and blinds, small drywall repairs, meeting trucks to accept inventory while I'm away & even making deliveries. A few years ago, he helped replace flooring in my home following an ice dam leak. My clients are as impressed with his helpful personality and professional appearance as I am! I wholeheartedly recommend Dan Larsen if you are looking for a job well done, on time and on budget and I am looking forward to working with him for many years to come.

Painter Dan has our highest recommendation! No matter the scope of the job that we have asked Dan to do, the finished product is always completed on time and looks great. Dan has done a lot of work in our home over the past decades and I am always super happy with the care he demonstrates towards our living space as well as the level of perfection he demands for his finishes. His estimates are accurate and his timing is honest.
