I can not believe that Mr Kyte refers to himself and company as a professional painting service. As far as I am concerned, he's a con man and completely unprofessional.
Mr Kyte quoted me $1000 to paint my garage doors and part of my deck. He advised me that it would be him and another painter a full day to complete the work. The price included prep, paint and painting.
There was absolutely no prep, no sanding, no taping or anything.
He took a $200 etransfer and and bought the material.
I told him I'd be at work when the work was being done but got off early and returned home to find that it was just him painting.
He hadn't sanded any of the bubbling paint on the garage doors and painted over them. Some of which had popped and the new paint was already peeling. He didnt tape anything and was rushing through the job.
I pointed out the issues and he became hostile and unprofessional. All caught on my home camera system as well.
I had to kick him off the job and tell him not to return. I'll now have to hire someone to redue the work likely at an increased cost.
I've used numerous painters in the past and have never had an issues.
I'll have to take this company to small claims court now to get my 200 bucks back.
The pictures I posted dont even begin to do it justice.
Pretty much everything this guys says in his response to my review is not true. Obviously my review is bad for his business so he has to respond this way. You would expect a more professional response from a professional wouldn't you think? Anyway, take a chance hiring him and see what happens. You be the judge!
The paint he used was wasted as it all need to be done again with even more scraping and prep involved. He called me and apologized and begged for me tk take negative reviews off of a couple other sites so I did. I guess he just saw this one.
I hired Tim Kyte to do some painting since I met him a few years back and trusted him. Mistake # 1. He came to my home and took notes knowing very well things had to be prepped and then painted along with some kitchen caulking around the counter. He texted me saying his computer had something wrong to email him what I needed done again.
Don't do this as this was his idea of a contract. He will use it against you. Make sure you get a professional quote and contract, in lots of detail, and don't pay him cash.
The trust was lost from the beginning sorry to say, as I thought I could give him more work. But that wont happen.
He showed up with another painter who I didn't know, and brought him into my home without asking me. They worked fine and fast, but at what cost. Detail work not sufficient, kitchen caulking was not replaced so old stuff coming off.
Take your time and shop around. The good ones are busy but wait and get quotes and references. I let my guard down and no reference check or proper contract.
Just way too much going on it that statement!
Linda is a very nice lady and easy to get along with until it comes time to pay! She loves to get as much out of you for free as she can !
She makes no reference to having me over 7 times in 2 years to provide exact same quote ! She has a beautiful home right on the lake and she will tell you about it for as long as you will listen EVERYTIME U SEE HER !
Caulking ? What caulking ? I was never hired or paid to do any caulking ! It was not required in the job or mentioned in 8 quotes or the entire time we were there !
Yes I asked her to send me a final outline detailing exactly what she's requesting in order to provide a proper quote !! Nothing wrong with my computer A lot wrong with her and the many changes of opion/ ideas in what she wanted done I needed a final revised decision before starting !
She picked up the paint in which she attempted to colour match existing wall colour but not knowing paint colour/ code and was hoping for one coat coverage ! She was supposed to have all that figured out by the time we were start Well ... she didn't and appeared very stressed saying she's just too busy to do it Meanwhile we arrive on agreed day/ time and she still had to leave us there while she went to get paint !
The basement games room ... was a disaster from day one with her !
I was generally satisfied with the work. However, the owner (Tim Kyte) refused to provide an invoice and indicated that he would issue an invoice upon full payment. I immediately paid in full the day the job was done and have been trying to get a receipt for 5 months now.
Yep Sure did
You were very clear on paying cash! PAID in cash
Then wanted an Invoice stating the tax you had paiid
Sorry ! Not doing that !
