My husband and I hired Mac stringer to paint basically our whole house. We were very happy with their price, very fair. Multiple people recommended them very highly, and having seen their work in other people's homes, we knew they did a quality job. They were very timely and "finished" the job in just 3 days. However, the first day of the job the excuses and cutting corners started. When the job was "finished" my husband and I noticed full brush marks of the adjacent wall colors In our living room. Some of the mouldings weren't even painted! The edging was not straight, and there was paint all over the light fixtures, floors, and toilets. We have had to call them to come back and touch things up twice now because of their lazy work. This morning was the second time they came back for touch up. We were hoping that owner Sean Stringer would be coming since he was the one we talked to about the issues we had with the end result. Sean was very apologetic and helpful with the whole process. He came to see what we were talking about and said himself that he expected a better job from his crew. However, his brother Nick (who did the job in the first place) showed up and started making excuses and even disrespecting my husband and arguing with him in our own home! He told us that these imperfections (things that Sean had apologized to us for) are normal and acted like we were hassling him to come back and fix his own lazy work. I would NOT discourage anyone from hiring them just because of the job they did, they did come back twice to fix things and that was great. I WOULD discourage people from hiring them simply because of the attitude of Nick Stringer. He has been very rude and disrespectful to both of us since day one. This is not the way to treat customers who are paying thousands of dollars to have the job done right. If we didn't have to interact with Nick Stringer, our experience would have been much more positive (reason for 2 star review instead of 1). Everyone else was very nice, respectful and enjoyable to work with. It is sad that the reputation of this company has to be brought down by one employee's bad attitude and poor treatment of customers. I felt like since we are a young couple who have never hired painters before, Nick tried to take advantage of that and do a lazy job and expected us to believe him when he said that it was normal. I will never use this company again. read more
