Poor spackle and prep

DO NOT USE DAVEY PAINTING, EVEN FOR PAINTING YOUR DOG HOUSE. BRAKELIGHT WARRANTY The foregoing statements are facts based on documented emails, texts, photo and video surveillance of false verbal promises made to us and all admissible. We are not difficult people to deal with and we deal with various contractors in various trades each month for both our 11 rentals as well as work on our primary residence. We have never experienced such unprofessionalism by the owner of a company such as Tim Davey Painting. He is the owner of his company and he can run it the way he see fit, but we just don't want anyone else to fall for his false promises and under performance. We found Davey Painting through Sherman Williams Morgan Hill. Tim said that he wasn't the cheapest, but the best. You know, the usual BS you get from a conman contractor. After a couple of texts and sales calls in which his texts and promises said one thing and then he changed his stories I began to smell a rat, aka, a walking talking narcissistic salesman who doesn't listen. Even before they started and I told my wife that my gut was telling me that I didn't want to deal with him and I wanted to cancel and get my $700 deposit back. On video surveillance camera it records him hemming and hawing and in response he said he had a sick feeling. Based on other reviews it obvious that I'm not the only one he's done this to. My wife was adamant about getting the house painted before winter and I told him to deal with my wife on this job, so my wife took over. Even though he was recorded on our security cameras he falsely claimed that he said he wanted to cancel. ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR GUT. In my research D&B claims that he only has 2 employees, but 4-6 guys showed up, with ONLY ONE who could spoke English, so I had to communicate to them in Spanish. I appeared that he found them at a Home Depot parking lot. He sent us a several references and most were houses that were up for sale or rentals that needed lipstick on a pig. I also noticed that he operates out of a UPS postal center and has no physical address. This makes it difficult for the IRS and plaintiffs to serve them when you can't locate them. However, we found his primary residence. My wife proceeded forward with the job and we signed the joke of a contract he gave us. In the end we found that he had promised and under delivered in only 3 days, after quoting 4-6 days. Usually preparation takes the longest and it was done in one day. Not sure if the Elastomeric priming was done over the micro-cracks as per the joke of a contract he writes up. On the third days as the sun set he demanded final payment before his guys were even finished and we weren't able to inspect the job in the dark and we had to catch a flight the next day. You can still see many of these micro cracks, runs, overspray, and missed areas even after we pointed these out several times both before, during and after and even took photos of over 28 areas that they missed, such as the shutters that still have over spray, and dry rot that wasn't patched and painted correctly, areas that were not sanded down prior, outlets painted over and others not, runs, drips, and complete areas that weren't even painted next to the front door, all which he said would be corrected. Still to this day they have not been taken care of even after sending his guys out twice to address the areas we pointed out. It's apparent that he pulled them away from completing our house as they literally dropped everything and left gates open, water running and items not moved back. In the end we found that the poor workmanship was basically a "Spray and Pray" rush job with no attention to detail or quality control. He demanded the last installment payment, even though he knew they were not done. After several texts about the missed areas his guys came by twice to attempt to finish up, but just went through the motions. He knew that we had no leverage once he had our money and his attitude changed. He informed us that we were harassing him; however, texting a contractor about completing a job that they are contractually obligated to complete is not considered harassment under the eyes of the law. He told us not to contact him again and to patch and paint the rest ourselves, which is a breach of contact. In the end he claimed to a perfectionist, but reality he is far from it. We don't think that we were asking too much to have them come back and complete the job that he promised. We wouldn't be so upset if Tim's hadn't over sold his company's quality. Tim's talk is cheap and his poor attitude and his workmanship is a joke. In this town you don't upset customers, because word spreads like wild fire as we know a lot of folks. It also brings bad Karma. So far I have deferred at least 6 prospective customers away from Davey and over to other painters who I know will do a much better job and are more professional.

Tim and his painting crew did a great job refreshing our house's appearance inside and out! Tim worked with us to develop a plan, including recommendations as to what would be the most cost-effective update while giving a real "wow" impact. As an example, he suggested painting the stairs' 1990s oak banister, and it really brought it up to date! After we picked colors, he provided larger-scale samples that we used to confirm the selection. The crew started on time, and got the job done on time. They checked in with us periodically to review progress, and fixed all issues noted. The crew left the place clean and looking great! I highly recommend Davey Painting.

Shout out to Tim and the rest of his crew. Needed to paint the exterior house after having repairs done to a bunch of trim and siding. After receiving multiple bids I found that Tim's was the most competitive package. Great communication - always available to chat. He provided guidance with color choices which was very helpful. The crew was always on time and very friendly/accommodating (especially since I was dealing with some plumbing repairs during the job). Very happy with how things look. Plan is to also refinish the deck this week and most definitely interior painting in the near future. Thanks Tim!

All meticulously painted by the crew

Davey painting did a stellar job painting the interior of my home. I had my entire home painted and they completed it in a timely manner. Tim Davey has his own crew and they are highly skilled in their work. If there is a tweak that needs to be addressed it happens immediately. No worries-no stone left unturned. An accomplished contractor who has lots of connections.

First, I agree with all the other 5 star ratings. Scott and Sammy "work like ninjas" (wink to…read moreScott). Their workmanship is superior. Their work ethic is admirable. On our house painting job, they arrived early each morning, weather permitting, and worked all day until a logical stop. They continued without interruption through completion, and I could not be happier with the results. Our house looks great! Thanks again Scott and Sammy.

It worries me to write this review...I worry I will never get Jeff Burgess Painting to come paint…read moreagain once discovered by the Yelp universe! Scott and Sammy are the cleanest and most detailed painters I have ever worked with! This year they did both the complete exterior and interior of our home and we couldn't be happier! After my wife selected 16 colors she thought she just loved...and prior to her meltdown in picking just one color, Scott agreed to paint a wall or two for us so we could be sure. They have lots of experience from watching eager homeowners visit paint display racks and how mistakes are made. Scott can help narrow the decision so the final result is both something you love and not a huge waste of everyone's time. Each day they arrived at the appointed time. Each day they cleaned up the mess so we could live. Each day they gave us a plan for where they were working next so our livelihoods were not overly impacted. Oh and let me mention, all their work was done professionally without a lot of shields or sticky tape on the floor. The floor molding, the windows, the light fixtures, the intersection between wall and ceiling...all of it BY HAND. Craftsmanship I could not duplicate on my own. Now that they are gone, I feel like my social circle has collapsed. I'll have to hire them again to keep me sane and keep the wife off the TikTok interior designer videos. They are friendly, positive, and helpful - a delight to have around during a very hectic home improvement project!

I hired them to do just paint but not only did they patch up those holes, they also made my fireplace look new and refreshed. The paint job in my kitchen, family room, laundry room and 3rd bathroom was exactly what I hoped for. They gave me a different white on my door and window sills at first but came back and corrected it without issues. I'd definitely recommend Army Painting & will use them again!

We agreed on the front walls of our house since the UV has faded the color over the last few years. As they were doing the work, my wife and I were impressed by their quality so we added more work to our house: trimmings around the windows and the inside wall of our front yard fence. Their employees were prompt and worked silently throughout the entire time; I didn't even hear them working outside the entire time. Other people we've contracted on house projects in the past did not always show up on time nor finished on time. Some of them were also unprofessional when they were here: loud music, spoke loudly, bad language, etc.. Not these guys. They were very professional and polite. Asked us for everything they needed before doing it: outlet access, moving things from the home out of the way before they worked, etc.. I highly recommend you contacting/contracting this company for your painting needs. It was a pleasure working with them from start to finish. House renovations have been stressful in the past but not with these guys - it was very smooth and enjoyable. Both their work and the experience with their staff have surpassed expectations. My wife and I are not going to hesitate calling them up for future work nor will we hesitate dropping their name to friends and family that need paint work.

I contacted Brightview via Thumbtack after a botched job with another painter. The other painter…read morewas a total joke; lines as squiggly as drunk, paint smears and drops all over the place bc he didn't bother using dropcloths, damage to my stair handrail, and paint bleeding under areas he taped. To add insult to injury, he didn't bother showing up the next day or respond to calls/texts. On the 3rd day, he was late 2.5hrs after the agreed upon time. I was nice and gave him an ultimatum: fix everything or walk. He walked. I began searching for another painter and got 2 more bids. The first was outrageous (more than double the price) and then there was Juan from Brightview who worked out a great deal with me and offered to fix all the mistakes of the previous joker. He listened to my gripes as I showed him the shoddy workmanship and what I expect. He understood the assignment and to my amazement he offered to bring a crew of guys the next day (Saturday) to get everything done in 1 day! This was no easy task as I have 20-ft ceilings, a stairway, many windows, and have a couple accent walls. As promised the guys all showed up the next morning and the entire crew went right to work! Everyone knew their role and worked diligently to mask everything off, throw plastic sheets on everything, unroll resin paper on the floors and add drop clothes on any other exposed flooring. They were true professional painters in that they were able to freehand paint my textured walls to produce sharp edges. The clown painter before gave me an excuse that textured walls cannot have sharp edges. This was about the stupidest thing I've heard. If you hear this, stop, drop, and roll the guy out the door before the paint dries. At the end of the day, Brightview made sure I was happy with the results and asked me to walk all the rooms to make sure I was satisfied with the work and point out any imperfections so they can touch anything up before they leave. They also cleaned up all the mess they made and helped to move back everything that was touched. All the guys are Brightview were polite, talented, diligent, and very skilled. Juan and his crew did an amazing job and I'm glad we turned an unfortunate situation into a fixable one.
