Started positively and then went down hill before work even got started. Arrived without a mask which I found odd, but not the worst thing, I just kept my distance as we discussed the job. As he looked around my home he noticed a number of things that needed painting which I appreciated. When I confirmed the job for him, he told me would start "around early Sept." When early Sept arrived, I had to follow up to confirm an actual start date. He said "around the 7th." On the 6th, I texted to see if we were on for the next day. His response was to ask if it was me. I then called him to express my concern that after several texts he wasn't sure of my number and text history. He mentioned issues with his phone vs email and not being very technologically savvy. I mentioned I felt I was chasing him for updates, but once work starts I need proactive updates and predictability. I also mentioned he wasn't wearing a mask when he arrived and asked that he please do so when we interact further, to which he said: "well neither were you." Wow. True, I wasn't, but he was coming to my home and should have come prepared. My mask was simply inside. He then said, "if you're so stressed out about this, I don't really care that much about painting your house." At which point I agreed this is a no go. Can't comment on his work, but attitude was clearly arrogant and unprofessional. No thanks. read more
