They charged us $8,000+ to paint the entire house exterior, which is relatively high compared to the other offers. As of writing this review, they changed the painter crew 2 times. The first crew had poor quality. Everything was stained, drops of paint everywhere. Careless attitude to their job. They unnecessarily destroyed the front porch spraying it with white paint and now it stays that way. The second crew was better but they worked only one day and could not complete what they started to do. That crew is no longer working. There were days when they did not work at all. They promised to do within 1 week, but it is now three weeks. At times it looked like they abandoned us. I took pictures of their doing and posted them on Yellow Pages. The only reason we hired them was because we thought they would provide a higher quality. UPDATE: Today as of June 18th, finally they mostly are done after 3 week, except for the porch which they committed to re-paint. read more

SUED, WON, AND STILL HAVEN'T COLLECTED!! BEWARE!!! READ ALL REVIEWS! My mother needed to have her house repainted as it had not been painted in over 20 years and we were going to rent it. Mark Sley, who owns the company, and I, came to an agreement. I had two other quotes and chose his company. I live in South Carolina and my mother was staying with me as she was seeing doctors near me. Our agreement was 30% down and the remaining when the job was completed. The job duration was to be completed in approximately 6 days. The contract was signed November 13, 2020. On December 22, 2020, I was informed that the job was completed. Mark Sley was told before the job contract was signed that he couldn't be paid the final amount until I would inspect the completed job. My house is a nine-hour drive from my mothers house that was "painted". The following is what I found: Walls weren't painted, drips were down multiple walls, intercoms and fire detector which was contracted to be removed and covered remained, pops in walls remained, lines were obvious on the walls in the hall outside the upstairs bedrooms where tape was showing, ADT security system was cut, ADT indoor security camera cord was missing, USB cord to firestick television was missing in upstairs south bedroom, paint on 2 bedspreads and one mattress cover, paint on brand new carpet in downstairs guest bedroom and on the living room in middle of floor, paint on four window treatments which were a material that couldn't be cleaned to remove the paint, paint on pickled pine mantel and marble hearth, every single shade was missing at least one (and most both) of the fittings that secured the blinds in place and the face covering were missing, the wooden blinds in the downstairs west bedroom had paint on them and the face coverings were off and on the floor, one of the outside trash cans had paint on the inside with the paint cans in the trash and now on the inside of the trash can, a pair of tennis shoes (with paint on them) were left outside the front door and a shirt was left on a chair in the living room. Copies of day labor time sheets were found in the trash can where day labor had been hired rather than professional painters! Mark Sley came over and discussed what needed to be done. (PHOTOS WERE TAKEN) On April 2nd, again, after taking the 18 hour round trip drive, I arrived to find most of the problems were still there. There was a new spot was on the wall in the master bathroom where a hole must have been punched into the wall. Spackling paste, about 6 inches in circumference, was on the wall about 7 feet high, but it had not even been sanded, much less painted. I drove on an 18 our round-trip journey to find the house not finished once again. I returned again on April 17th (keep in mind that Mark Sley called me each time to tell me that the house was completed). While there on April 17th, I had to rehang a pocket door that was bent and not on the track or working. Two closet doors were off track as well and had to be fixed. I let him know that the blind in the downstairs southwest bedroom was off the track and needed to be rehung. Sent images to Mark Sley and did not get a reply while I was there. (AGAIN, PHOTOS WERE TAKEN) April 24, 2021- Mark Sley came to the house himself to see the work that was completed and the damages which were incurred. He, himself, tried to get the paint out of the window treatments and made it worse. He acknowledged that the paint couldn't come out and stated that he would go to a company that sold blinds and see if he could find replacement parts for the blinds which were broken. May 10th, I was told the painter would come out to see about finishing the painting and Mark Sley stated that he would try parts on the blinds. June 7th- Mark Sley texted me to see when he could expect a final payment! He had never let me know that the painting had been completed or the blinds fixed. (THEY WERE NEVER FIXED, THE ITEMS RUINED NEVER REPLACED AND OTHER ITEMS BROKEN NEVER REPLACED) At this time, I let him know that the bedspreads, covers and blinds that needed to be replaced far exceeded the cost of what was left on the incomplete contract-not counting the new painter that I would have to have come in to complete the work. June18th, 2022- TRIAL DAY- He filed suit against me for not paying him!!, I countered and won-2" thick of pictures presented in court! PICTURES SAY EVERYTHING! February 2023- Judgement Lien Statement filed against Mark Sley and his company, Top Coat, LLC. He is not complying with the courts decision! It looks like the Sheriffs office will have to get involved. PLEASE DON'T GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT AND AM STILL GOING THROUGH! read more

Recently deciding to have the interior of my home repainted, I initially used the services of a local Interior Decorator to help me with color selection, then began to research local painting contractors. During July 2019, I contacted 8 contractors, and each one came to my home and gave me an estimate to have the interior of my home painted. References were contacted, and I selected Top Coat, a contractor in Cocoa Beach, FL. A deposit was forwarded to the owner, and my painting project was scheduled for the week of August 5 and was expected to take 4 days, perhaps 5. Three painters and owner arrived Monday morning, August 5. Shortly after work began, and after stove and refrigerator were pulled out, one painter asked to use my vacuum cleaner. I was somewhat surprised he asked, because whenever I've had work done in my home (flooring, hurricane-impact windows, kitchen remodel, etc.), the crew brought their own shop vac. But what choice did I have? That evening, I emailed the owner and commented on this, and here was his response: "One complaint I do have a major issue with, is your complaint about the vacuum. My painters are painters, they are not maids. They should not have to be cleaning up piles and piles of cat hair. But they did it, so they can do their job which is painting. If they had to use your vacuum to clean up a mess that they shouldn't have to deal with so be it. If you want the job completed I would drop this subject." Wow. I never repeated this aloud -- my cats would have been offended. I know I was. (I do not pull out the appliances during routine house cleaning.) At end of first day, half-empty, sweating water bottles were left in the kitchen area and on my dresser; Dirty, wet rags were left in my kitchen sink and on my master bath sink vanity; paint splatter on the cooktop; Painter assigned to the master bath stored several items (paint cans, mats, rags, etc.) in my shower, overnight, so iI had to remove everything in order to take a shower; My landline was left disconnected without my knowledge; One painter painted around the switch plates and outlet covers, stating that it was easier than removing the screws (ridiculous!); this later proved extremely frustrating when I decided to replace the generic white plastic ones with oil-rubbed bronze wall plates -- it was difficult to pry them off because they were "painted" to the wall. At the end of the fourth and final day, the blinds and valance in the guest bedroom were not put back up (both were piled on top of a large floral arrangement, which was crushed); the dresser in the guest room was left nearly one foot from the wall; Owner came and requested payment of balance due before all work was completed; Also on the final day, an outside faucet was left on, and water was running out of the hose for at least 10 hours; The day after project completion, I more carefully scrutinized their work and discovered the following: * One entire strip on the kitchen island/bar was skipped; * Some rather sloppy work around the office window, as well as on the baseboard/wall area; * Discovered a scrape on the master bedroom wall in the better light of morning. I sent the owner an email notifying him of these 3 issues but never received a response. (If you are wondering why I didn't insist on them returning to handle these issues, it's because I don't ever want them in my home again!!) My project started out with 3 painters but one was fired after the first day. The 2 remaining painters took at least 5 cigarette breaks per day, and production time lost is calculated as follows: 5 cigarette breaks per day at 15 minutes per break = 1 hour 15 minutes per day x 4 days = 5 hours x 2 painters = 10 man-hours, which is more than an entire day's work. Therefore, my painting job probably could have been completed in 3 days, rather than 4! ;-( read more

I asked for an estimate for texture on walls and ceiling. Professional looking person came out. After looking at the condo (625 sq ft) he told me that he would have to pass on the work as it was too much! I guess I am one of the lucky ones! read more
