Where to start. I wanted my house painted inside and out as we were selling it. First off, he…read morequoted me a higher price on the inside painting because he said he uses the best high quality paint from Sherman Williams. First day of painting, he buys paint from somewhere else, low grade generic paint. When I asked him about it, he said that would mean an extra trip to Wellsville and he would have to charge me for it. I showed his helper the contract and made him realize they needed to. Then he wanted to charge me more because he would have to start again. Again, I said no. Again his helper told him he can't do that. When they started sanding, I asked about dust and will it go into the other rooms, and he said they wet sand. I came in one afternoon to find them dry sanding, with no plastic up and dust everywhere in my living room. We put plastic up, but the damage was already done. They did not complete every area of painting because "I would have to run and buy more paint and it's not worth it". So I ended up buying some paint and doing it myself. When they did the walls, rather than putting tape on the moldings and rolling the paint all the way down, he said he would brush paint the last 2 inches or so and we would never see the difference. Boy, did it look like crap. I ended up taping up the molding and rolling the rest of it to blend it in. This was just the inside issues. When it came for the outside, he wanted to power wash the house first as it would save time. I explained to him that it is an older house and pressure washing may cause problems with the old wood, and he said he would keep the pressure down low. Again I came home to find them power washing the house standing only 2-3 feet away from the house, and part of the wood facia had been blown in and I had water in my back porch running down the walls that were just painted. I told him to sand the rest. The next day I came out of the living room area and found him scraping the screen of one of my back windows. I asked him what he was doing, and he said his helper splashed paint on the screen and he was trying to remove it. The problem was, he was using a metal brush on a fiberglass screen. Does anyone else realize what this will do to the screen other than me? I now had a hole in the screen that was not there before. The job took a little longer than expected, and at the end, he approaches me and asks me to "Contribute an extra $50 to his helper and he would add $50, because he did such a great job on the 2nd floor of the outside". I said the cost you quoted me should have included that, and he proceeded to try and make me feel like the bad guy. I then changed the contract to add the money and handed the helper the extra $50 directly and told him his boss wanted me to pay more because you did such a good job.

I had three (3) estimates from different painters. I went with the middle estimate, which was…read moreRay's. The contract stipulated "Prepare deck and house and paint deck and house". Their "prepare" was nothing more than a quick pressure wash--no scrapping or sanding peeling paint or priming bare wood where the paint had peeled. The painters (different painters during the project) arrived around 10:00 AM and left around 3:00 PM. Halfway through the job, I was informed "We underestimated the amount of paint needed and need an additional $1,000.00" for paint", I found this totally unacceptable as they waited until the next to the last day to bring this up. They pointed out the "contract" stated an estimated amount of paint, not an exact quantity. I signed the contract however, an additional $1,000.00 was way out of line. Their response was the effect of "Without the additional paint we will spread the remaining paint very thin to cover the remaining house however, you will see the old paint through the new paint". Not wanting a half-done job I reluctantly paid the additional $1,000.00. When the job was completed on the third day at 3:30 PM there were numerous places where the old paint was visible, areas that were completely missed, and areas where the paint applied on the first day was peeling (it appeared they painted over wet wood and the paint never dried). I wanted to "hold back money" until the job was completed however, they wanted full payment because "the job was done and only touch-up was needed". We went back and forth on the "job was done" however, there was a "mechanics lien" clause in the contract meaning they could sue me for not paying. In summary, after a few months, they never returned to complete the "touch-up" and missed areas and paint continues to peel in multiple places, and. Their "additional $1,000.00 request for paint" put their estimate well above the highest estimate". I believe Ray's intentionally underestimated the amount of paint needed, knowing they would come back with the "We underestimated the amount of paint needed and need an additional $1,000.00 for paint" if you want the job done correctly. Professional painters should know how paint is needed for a job or be close if additional paint is needed, not $1,000.00. I will never use Ray's painting again. As time goes on, there are more and more places where paint is peeling every week and the poor quality of work is showing. Fresh paint looks nice when first applied however, when it begins to peel after only a few months something was not done correctly.

We hired Ray"s Painting to paint our two-story house. We stated to Ray we wanted to use…read moreSherwin-William paint which he stated he would pick up at the store. In the contract, it stated our house would be prepared for painting. The only thing the painters did was pressured wash our house. There was very little scrapping done. I did more than the painters as I was checking their work as Ray hired two high school students who had no experience of painting. Our house was original white, there were so many places, the white was still coming through the blue paint. We kept telling Ray, his painters need to put more paint on their paint brushes. At the end of the job, we requested extra paint of each color to have for touch ups. Ray left up Home Depot paint cans and when we asked him about the Home Depot cans. He denied he used the Home Depot paint on our house then later he stated he did. We told him we weren't happy with one section of the house where the sun hits the house. We showed him, and he agreed to fix it the next morning. The next morning came and there was No Ray and No phone call explaining why he wasn't coming. He did not return our phone calls; three in all. We left him a message that we were disappointed with him and how he ran his business. We shared that we were going to warn others about his business and not to trust him. Still he did not return our phone call. Beware folks, if you want a professional painter, don't hire Ray's Painting. You will be disappointed like us and pay a lot of money for frustration!
