BEWARE - SCAM Alert!
Unless you're a man or a woman/person who's knowledgeable of different materials or services being offered by this person, please be aware you will likely be SCAMMED. This man ruined cabinet doors in perfect condition that simply needed to be painted white. Then he had the audacity to blame the customer for his failure instead of taking accountability.
He was hired to paint cabinet doors with an existing gloss and DID NOT opt to use any deglosser (which I mentioned) nor sand the cabinet doors prior. You can imagine the outcome of the cabinets. Because the paint was a satin/semi-gloss finish, he attempted to smear it onto the cabinets multiple times instead of stopping upon realizing the paint wouldn't adhere...perhaps. You can clearly see the thickness of the paint in the few places the brush/roller didn't wipe it off. Before leaving, he stated there would be minor imperfections, but the outcome will still be good nonetheless once the paint dries and he would return. Well, the outcome was far from good as you can see in the pictures: from peeling, to bumps, to several areas without paint, to paint dripping from the drawer onto the door, brush strokes, and he even replaced two of the doors upside down. And yes, he carried the wet doors from the garage to the kitchen to replace them which his prints are visible in some of them. Forget the paint he left all over the floors, counters, and door handles. I attempted to contact him the next day as he said he would return and of course, he ghosted me until I reached out again 3 days later and questioned his expertise and claim to be a false veteran. There's no way a veteran could have scammed anyone in this manner, I thought. He proceeded to blame me for not researching paint types (I have another profession), yet you're the expert who said nothing as you applied several coats of paint for just a few hours with no common sense that wasn't the right thing to do (SCAM). When you go to the dentist, you don't research to see what tools they're using or how they perform teeth cleaning or extractions. Well at least I don't know anyone who does. He also said I was rude to him...being rude must have made him do his job terribly and become incompetent . He tends to talk over you which I pointed out to him and he claimed he's always been that way even in the military.
We had three separate vendors quoted to repair the doors and all 3 individually couldn't believe the idiocy and attributed that type of work to an act of fraud. Fortunately, because the paint was applied less than a week ago, one company was able to strip it and sand the doors in an attempt to repair the mess you see below. It's a temporary fix we can at least live with than the terrible work that was done. It's a scam and a crime to charge the same amount another business would charge and not do the work correctly (i.e. sand first). SCAMMER!
The CC company thankfully provided a full refund once we filed a claim and they saw the pictures and videos. But it still cost to have them repaired, although they now need to be replaced because of the incompetence.
Your lawn may be recovered from a bad job, but be VERY careful about having this person touch anything else in your home.
Lastly, the negative reviews posted are also accurate regardless of the defensive response approach. read more
