I contracted with Ken Wallen in October 2023 to paint house inside & outside. Taken me this long to be civil about his work. Price was okay. What a mistake! Sprayed the decks - & oversprayed the shingles, painted all the rocks around the house, missed painting several areas, took all leftover paint. What a mess! Every day was a new nightmare. Charged for painting both sides of doors - only did outside with latex paint. I had to repaint doors myself with proper enamel. Blamed me for distance to house, him scheduling to work on gf's bday weekend, the rain, his brother ditching job after 1 day - all the customer's fault. In a bind, I talked him into coming back 1 day to finish outside. Next day - called to find him. 10 am his gf calls, says he took a drywall job & they would find me someone. Sent me a joker with no painting experience or tools - ran him off after 2 hours. He was an emotional mess, unprofessional, tried to threaten me, didn't even finish the outside. Paid him in full for outside & told him if he or anyone associated w him contacted me I would press charges. Military people finish the job. Stay far away from this guy unless you like emotional roller coaster messes. Ken - best not to respond since you know it's all true. read more
