We met with this guy in Feb. 2019. He have us a written quote for $3,600.00 to paint the interior of our home. My husband gave him a check for $1,200.00 and Mr. Healey agreed to the job. I texted him weekly and his response each week was, "next week, Wednesday at the latest". This occurred every week during March and into the third week of April 2019.
The last week of April 2019, my husband called Mr. Healey's phone (a cell phone number), and told him that he had not started the job, nor showed any sign or intention of starting the job, despite having our money for over eight weeks. My husband told Mr. Healey that we were not happy with being delayed week after week for two months and that we wanted our money returned. Mr. Healey said that he understood. However, he has to date (8/4/19), never returned our money and no longer responds to our attempts to communicate with him in order to resolve this situation.
We have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and with Maura Healey, the Massachusetts State Attorney General.
Consumers, beware! Richard Healey the painting contractor is not a trust-worthy business owner. We suggest that you find another painter and do not give a penny in down payment, as you very well may have the same experience. By giving him our check, we expected that the agreement would be honored. Instead, we are out $1,200.00!! And now moving on to court proceedings. read more
