We had used Chris on a couple of other jobs before asking him to paint the exterior of our new…read morehome. When he came out to give us an estimate, he informed us that he would need to use an additional crew as our house was large and he had lost most of his team (which could have been a red-flag looking back on this). We agreed and the work began about a month later. The other company he contracted with did almost all of the work and they did an incredible job. Chris was only on the premises a few times for a few hours at a time - which we were ok with since the work was getting done to our satisfaction. On what was supposed to be the last day of work, both the superintendent of the other company and Chris were at my house until about 8:00 at night trying to complete the job. Chris had asked me earlier to pay out the other company that day, which we agreed to do because the work was close to being completed. However, by the time they finished, it had been dark out for hours and we couldn't see the completed product. We asked if we could wait until the next day and the superintendent of the other company readily agreed - saying that he understood completely. Chris looked furious. Both agree to come out in the afternoon the next day. We found several issue areas in the morning that were overlooked simply because of a lack of light. When the superintendent arrived, he was apologetic and eager to fix what was still wrong. He jumped right in to do the work around noon. Around 4:00 Chris arrived, just as I was doing a final walk around the house with the superintendent on the paint job, and we were satisfied with the work there. Now all that remained was to clean up the windows and the concrete. Chris had brought the pressure-washer to help. He proceeded to pressure wash around our house and then got a phone call which clearly irritated him. He interrupted a conversation I was having with the superintendent and announced his immediate departure, quite rudely. Neither of us fought him on this, nor even said a word. At 8:00 that night the superintendent was finishing up the detail work. I went outside to ask how much longer he needed to stay and he informed me that he was almost done - just one more small thing and he would be completely satisfied with the work he had done for us. I thanked him profusely, told him that the check would be waiting for him and then went upstairs. Then I got a phone call from Chris. It may have been the most misogynistic conversation I have ever had with someone I have employed. He was angry that the superintendent was still there. I applauded the superintendent on his work ethic and informed Chris that he was almost done, and that the check for him was written and waiting on the counter. Then he told me in a cold, threatening manner - "go give it to him now." To which I calmly responded that the superintendent would be done in a few minutes. Then in a final demeaning, male chauvinistic tone he demanded "walk it out to him. You walk it out to him now." This is someone I employed. Who implied that I was keeping someone at my home against his will and threatening him with non-payment if he didn't comply. Neither of these suggestions were remotely true. Chris then hung up on me. The superintendent did his best to rectify Chris's horrific behavior by helping us install some lights on our home, but the damage was done. I highly suggest using Axis Painting and Sealants (530) 615-7038 for your painting needs. If you are a single-women, a wife, or the husband of a woman you care about, don't hire this man. Let's make a point of not rewarding those whose actions continue to disrespect women.

Don't make the same mistake we did: DO NOT HIRE CHRIS TAYLOR!…read more Most of the time I take bad reviews with a grain of salt--sometimes people have off days, one cannot please all the people all the time.  But I'd caution you against taking that approach with Taylor Painting. Chris Taylor is nothing if not consistent with regard to his lack of time management skills, his lack of communications skills and his inability to manage client expectations--and that means you'll most certainly end up with a job gone way late, shoddy clean-up work, and having rearrange your life to complete a job Chris over-promised on. Not to mention a vendor that *insists* on getting paid without issuing any apologies for the delays, mess and inconvenience as he lays waste upon your home and life in the process of getting the job done. If you take anything away from this review, run as fast as you can away from Taylor Painting and hire a true professional! Our key takeaways:  1. Chris over-commits and over-promises on what/when he can deliver ON TIME. Chris told us the paint job on our upstairs (including installing light fixtures in 3 bathrooms) would be done in 3 days. Well, as you probably guessed, it wasn't. Not only that, but Chris literally left gaping holes in our walls (see pictures) and only managed to install 3 of the 6 light fixtures. First, he wanted more money to get them done,complaining that it wasn't part of the scope of our original agreement. I reminded him that that was not at all true and that I purchased the light fixtures in advance of him starting the job *entirely because* he said he could install them as part of our job. I never would have run out and spent $700 on lights the weekend before the job started if he hadn't committed to installing them. Second, after he begrudgingly agreed to install the lights, he did such a shitty job, I knew I wasn't going to have him touch them again. He spackled a 3-4 inch hole, which ended up going concave and cracking down the middle (see pics) and even I knew that the job needed a complete re-do with a proper patch, texturing and paint. The lights wobbled when touched (I changed the bulbs) and after the petulance with which he agreed to complete the light install, I had serious misgivings about whether the lights were secure in the wall. I had visions of them falling out of the wall in the middle of the night. So, I knew I was going to hire someone else to re-do all the lights. On both our exterior job and the interior job, he ran over by 1-2 days and that includes a few late nights when he cut into our kids' bedtime routines (on school nights of course). On the interior job, it became pretty clear to me by day 2 that he wasn't going to complete the job on time and I started asking him when he thought he could finish, because I had scheduled a housecleaner to come the day after they were supposed to be done to clean up all the paint dust (they sprayed the ceilings and literally everything in the house was covered in paint dust) and all the bits of drywall from the light installs.  He *promised* to show up early (730am Thursday) and get it all done. Well, Thursday came and went and by 4pm he STILL hadn't touched the lights!  On top of it all, he straight up told me he could care less that he screwed up the cleaning schedule, saying that "It is none of my concern that the *housecleaner* has to come back another day." First of all, what kind of messed up, holier-than-thou individual has the right to boondoggle the CLIENT'S schedule? He also had the nerve to blame ME for not being able to be there for the final Thursday night walk through, even though it was an unplanned work delay on his part and and I had made myself available ALL the other scheduled days of the job.   After all this insanity, I left the ball in Chris's court to try to come collect payment (we hadn't settled the bill yet bc he left before I got back Thursday + never came on Friday, like he said he would, to finish the work and get paid). So I waited . .  and waited . . .He finally texted me Monday afternoon, to GET PAID. I was busy with work that day and didn't respond, so he *showed up* on my doorstep at 430pm demanding to be paid! I told him straight up that the job wasn't done and he wasn't able to barge in here right now, at 430pm, to get the work done. (The cleaner was here again after having to reschedule for Chris's delays and I was on a work deadline). And he got ANGRY, spoke down to me (I'm a woman, which appears to be his MO as well), was patronizing, sarcastic in a blood-boiling way, and EXTREMELY aggressive. I've got the entire 20 minute heated exchange on video (doorbell camera) . . . and it was shocking to me to watch it after the fact. The most shocking, for me, was that throughout all of this, he NEVER apologized, never took ownership for his failures, never showed any remorse for what went wrong, just nothing. I even told him that in business, an apology goes a long way. Still, NO APOLOGY!
