DO NOT HIRE HIM AT ALL COSTS!!!! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE…read moreREVIEW! This review is to back up David D's review. I am the home owner that hired Clayton to stain my raw pine door jambs and raw pine doors. Clayton had David and his wife perform the work on the door jambs. They came out exactly how they were supposed to. They followed my directions during the entire process and I was very happy. David and his wife are professional and know how to paint/stain. Well, then came time to finish the doors. Clayton did not follow my instructions, nor did he read the instructions on the stain. He was told he had to condition the doors, then stain, then seal. When it came time to stain them, he decided to spray the stain on the doors, to which I said was fine, but make sure to wipe the stain in with a microfiber rag. I thought he used a brush by the way it looked. When I went to the house to check up on the doors they looked like absolute garbage. Clayton thinks you have to stain doors the same way you paint them. WRONG! During the process, David and his wife were doing the work exactly like the jambs, to which Clayton complained they were taking too long and told them to just spray the stain and wipe (he used shop rags). The doors are so blotchy and streaky I have to now sand them all down and do the work again. He wasted my conditioner and stain. This was a Saturday when I texted him. He immediately wrote me 7 text messages and was upset I contacted him on the weekend. He actually thought he did a great job. After the phone call, we planned to meet AT THE HOUSE the following Monday. Instead, he showed up at my place of business all fire and brimstone, aggressive and threatening. He didn't like that I wasn't happy and told me "F no I'm not fixing your doors... you bought s****y doors and the wrong stain." To this end, I fired him on the spot and told him to get his stuff off my property. I had to call the Sheriff's Dept to let them know he was not allowed back and to trespass him if he showed up any time after collection his material. When he was getting his tools, he threatened one of my subs and called him out to the alley. He did not pay David and his wife for their work, so essentially stole their money. They both helped me repair a couple doors, but honestly I may have to file suit. YOU RUINED $25,000 WORTH OF DOORS, NOT TO MENTION MY TIME AND MONEY FOR ADDITIONAL PRODUCT. He has threatened David and called the Sheriff on him and this is absolutely not the way you run a business. I have already updated the Sheriff's department about this and I'm sure I'll get some sort of fight from writing this review, but I am not taking it down. His words were, "You go around slandering me I will sue you faster than you can imagine. "People need to know how threatening you are when you don't get your way. I'm not slandering, I'm sharing the terrible work you did. That will speak for itself. This is all fact and I do have a contact at the Sheriff's office waiting for my updates and any follow-ups I deem necessary. They even suggested a restraining order on Clayton. I found out today that he's still been threatening David and his wife, so that's the reason I'm finally writing this. I have pictures posted of his work. I don't think I have to say a word - these speak for themselves. The door standing by itself is the door that I conditioned and stained... IT'S HOW IT'S SUPPPOSED TO BE DONE. So tell me again I bought crappy doors and stain. You just don't know what you're doing. The text thread is posted in the pictures. I will update this review with any threatening or aggressive actions from Clayton because I do expect it. Sheriff's are standing by, and potentially a large lawsuit. I have the entire neighborhood watching to make sure you don't come back as well as my place of business. I will not be threatened and do take these actions very seriously. Now I know why he was complaining about other customers not paying him. You shouldn't be paid for work you can't back up. He will undoubtedly do this to you if you don't agree with his work. But you tell me... did he do a good job? Would you accept this? Hire David and his wife instead. They'll make sure work is done professionally and if you don't like something, they'll fix it. If Clayton contacts me - I will take it as a threat and place a report to the authorities. It is not ok to threaten, bully, or make anyone feel unsafe - I see in many other reviews he uses this tactic. It will not work with me and I will not back down. People should know he cannot be trusted and will make you feel unsafe in your own home.

This review is for Fortino Painting of Pueblo West. My…read moreproject consisted of the airless spraying of the exterior walls (all stucco), eaves, trim, etc. and exterior doors of my house, garage, and two other small outbuildings. There were numerous places that the paint was passable from one angle but light/non-existent from a different angle. Of course, I didn't discover these until days/weeks later but Joe wanted paid immediately. Don't pay him until you have thoroughly examined everything, EVERYTHING; otherwise once he's paid there's a good chance of you not seeing him again. They're not much good at brush work either. One door needed repainting, which they did but it looked (I have pics.) like it was repainted with cottage cheese. It took me hours to strip it down correctly, sand and then repaint it myself. The other main issue I have concerned approx. 150 sq. ft. of faux rock. It was painted but we both agreed that it would need another coat and that he would return, but not right away. I literally asked him to give me his "word-of-honor" (which he did) that if I paid him an additional $400 up front (which I did), he would return to complete this. It's been approx. 11 weeks since an initial call to him to return to fulfill our agreement. He said he would be contacting me to setup a day to return but hasn't contacted me and has since been ignoring/avoiding my attempts to contact him (calls/emails) to fulfill our verbal contract. Get everything in writing, as he will tell you whatever he thinks you want to hear! I honestly don't believe he is a real painter, but a wannabe who had a little money and thought he'd open a business. If you want someone who stands by you and his performance with your project, Joe Fortino is NOT your man. When it happens to you, don't say you weren't warned! Any man who will not keep his word is a real piece of (hmmm) work...

I got several texts, one saying they were on the way and the last one said they were 5 minutes out, but no one showed up and no one has responded to my text asking why no one showed up. All communication seems to be on auto-response. Not a good way to do business.
