Dont do it.
I was under the impression that this was a good…read morequality reputable real painting company.
Unfortunately turns turns out this is a dysfunctional family, with an odd son who never got away from his parents, and two elderly workers. That's it.
As far as the work goes, it was not the worst quality. Although it could be picked apart dramatically. But that is not the worst of it. They do no real repairs or patching.
And in getting the estimate, the young son came over did the estimate, looked at the work and talked up the company. Fine, the execution of the work was done by an elderly woman who would not shut the hell up, asking of your business and getting in the way. Walking around with a cast on her foot and working at the pace of a handicapped snail.
The father, a decrepit old man who can barely hear and cannot paint for crap, by the admission of the wife and the son. Who comes to your house and asks for money every three days. And when they ask for that money, they charge you for work they have not even done, which we realized when we fired them and they have yet to return the upwards of $800 worth of work that we did not have done but we unfortunately paid for.
They work from nine-ish, and take lunch at 11, just stupid. They only use one color a day, apparently washing a brush or using two colors is beyond their capability in a single day, they have hair appointments, doctor appointments, school responsibilities for their children which break up the six hours a day that they work on a good day.
The Son promises all kinds of things, only to be hit with extra charges by the elderly parents to make up for the son promising stuff they cannot deliver.
The mother spent three weeks painting with one brush, one roller and one small tarp under her as she waddled and hobbled around the house painting one room every two days. Just ridiculous.
She not only was elderly but working with a broken foot and stumbling around the house telling us how dangerous it was for her to be doing this. The son only showed up a couple hours on a couple days to paint where the mother could not get because it was too high for her broken foot, these people are wicked stupid. They are not painters, they are a family who takes money for hanging out in your house way too long.
The family dynamic is disturbing and intrusive, this is not a professional painting company by any means whatsoever.
Every few days or so they will ask you for money and if you are not careful, you must watch that they charge you for things that they have not even done yet.
We fired them after they had finished what they had started, canceling the exterior of our house and cabinetry and woodwork in our house because we did not have enough time in our life to get through their incredibly slow and dangerous and rude process.
We wanted to hire a local, and we regret it, if you have no problem with old ladies lying on your floor painting slowly while nonstop talking, and leaving after only six hours a day of work then this is a good company for you. If you want a professional quality job, to not be charged additionally as the day goes by every day, then hire a professional company, that has real employees, not a mommy, daddy, and weird son who never got away from his parents, and abscesses and dresses up like a ghost buster. These people are mental cases.
I'm just telling you, these people are douche bags, they are not craftsman, they are not professional, they are embarrassing as a family and a company. if you want a good painter, hire "A+ painting. They are professional, they are not related to each other and they do good work.
