* I am 65 and have never written a negative review about any business.
This one takes the cake!
* Beware for this gentleman's ambiguous contracts! He does not write
specific details in the job description.
* He jacks up the his prices on his invoice. He didn't even state there
what was done on the job to justify the higher price, but he almost
doubled the original hours on his ambiguous proposal/contract. The
invoice was written for indoor work, but it was actually for outdoor
window frames, second story trim work and completing the painting of
our chimney, both of which required tall ladder work that I am not able to
do.
* He did not walk the job with the painter and did not give him a plan of
action, leaving a major priority of the job incomplete because the work
was not planned strategically and the last part could not be masked
due to wet paint. The painter told us we would have to get our 8' step
ladder and finish up by ourselves. At my age I am not comfortable
working from ladders. This was a major frustration for us.
* The photo shows part of the work done (and left undone). The
painting was done well, and there was no mess left, so that was the
one positive about the experience.The other two redacted images show
the proposal/contract and the invoice, and they speak for themselves.
The invoice shows 19 hours of work. There was no way. Beware--he
charges $75/hr for every painter who steps on the property, and
transportation and setup times, as well as chit-chatting, are timed, not
factored into the rate. He won't tell you about that $75/hr until he hands
you the invoice. read more
