I've used his services twice now. The first time was to oil stain log home. I sent a deposit, via online bank. It took longer to get to him than I expected. He didn't receive it on day of work. I showed him on my iPhone bank account it was sent , and I was handing him a check for remainder of estimate. He was refusing to begin work. After a lot of argument and interceding by a worker who spoke better English, they did job. When they pulled masking tape off window frames , paint came off ,but no one spoke to me about it.
I called him back a few months later for estimate on window trim. We agreed on price, then he said, I will only touch up some of the frames with a close matching paint. I payed him $1000 deposit to start. I met him morning of day work began. It looked ok where he was painting whole frames. I had to go and run errands so I gave him remaining $500. When he finished, which only took 3 hrs., I saw that frames he touched up had paint that was not even close to matching. Much lighter. Now, I am going to have to go buy a better match paint and do it myself or hire someone. He also put a lot of paint on windows because he didn't mask.
He does poor work, difficult to deal with and dishonest . Avoid this old man. read more
