DO NOT HIRE !
I had the WORST experience with Blue Parrot Painting as it neared the end of the project. I would NOT work with Tim due to his lack of professionalism, lies and manipulative behavior when it came to payments and lack of follow through. Tim came to see my house and on the spot agreed to paint the entire interior of a brand new house. The floor installer was there who knew him from other jobs and this was a strong referral. We agreed on a price to do the interior of house and they began within the week.
They did wonderful prep and I was excited due to their careful prep to paint the house. The job took longer than they said due to some drywall issues as well as family issues and Tim missing days and leaving early and one crew member being ill and missing some days. He told me he would cover the remaining drywall himself after the drywallers had come twice to do some more prep for them, to save time and it might take a couple hours. He then billed me for 35!!! hours at the cost of over $2000 and I stupidly paid it as well as the job in full before they completed and come back to do touch up which took 4 weeks to revisit the site. When they "finished" the job the first time, I was not there and they left a huge mess with no cleanup and it took me days to pull tape, and sweep, pick up rags and gloves etc. They did zero cleanup. I immediately took photos and sent them to the office manager also explaining how some tape was super high and I needed ladders to get it etc so I left it . The rest of clean up I had to do to prepare for the next workers coming in. They missed some areas with the wrong color after we talked about it twice-he told me he ran out of time and paint. When they came back a month later, he lied and said he didn't remember that and would not do it. Some areas were not painted fully like bedroom built ins and other trim areas under stairs and countertops in bathrooms.
When they came back a month later to do their "touch up", there was a strange vibe coming from him. We walked the house so I could show him areas that needed to be completed and or touched up. He then presented me a piece of paper saying it would cost $1500 to do it. When I got upset and said I could not pay any more money, he ran out of my house and told the crew they were leaving. I inquired what might be going on and he was very angry and said he didn't fight and kept walking out. He did not take the time to calmly explain what he could and could not do. Instead he got nasty with me and threatened to leave multiple times. Also, a wall in the bathroom was supposed to be painted around an area of wallpaper. We talked about it with the wallpaper installer and then when I told him it was wrong he said we never said that, and he wouldn't do it. When I expressed my concern that I would not make it up and it needed paint, he said "I'm not doing it."
He threatened to leave twice and I asked him to stay to get at least a few things done. They stayed and I left. I came back when they were leaving and asked him to show me what they did. He said I'll show you the list. I then said please show me what you did. He reluctantly went back in house and begrudgingly showed me the few things he did. I expressed how baffled I was at how he was treating me and the project and he got mad yet again and ran out of the house to his van to leave with our conversation not being complete. They missed several areas on this second round , job is not complete, areas weren't caulked and I have a lot of work to do to complete his terrible 2nd visit. I warn you to NOT work with this company...it was the most bizarre , unprofessional, incomplete, and rude experience I have ever had with a worker at my home. In no way was he concerned about making his customer happy. And I am definitely not happy with this company and the final product. read more
