Reggie promised us a 2-day job for 3 rooms, with two staff, but only one showed up and 4 days was promised. The job was finally done, not quite to our satisfaction, on the 7th day of work. There was even an 8th day in the middle of the job, that the painter did not show up as promised, so we lost another day there.
All in all, not happy, AT ALL, especially after he made us pay full price for a terrible experience.
Absolutely the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.. they misrepresented the time they would complete the job.. still never finished ..
Harassment at its best to get payment.. they threaten and text.. call and the job is still incomplete and their cost were above others but their "guarantee" is as shoddy as the work..
In September of 2014 we hired this Company to paint our deck. Six months after the deck is now only half painted because the paint has peeled off in several places - on the flat services and also on the rails. I paid this Company over $2,000.00 to paint my deck and six months later I now have to spend more money to have the deck redone. (The contract stated that there is no warranty on the flat surfaces - I can only fully understand that now - a deck is mainly flat surfaces). I called the person in charge, Eric is his name, to have a look at the deck. Of course he wasted no time in telling me that it is not covered under the warranty. I however pointed out to him then I feel as if this is highway robbery of my money, because a paint job should last for more than six months. (I did call another professional painter and I also did some research of my own - the reason for the paint peeling is because the wood was not dry or the paint was inferior (I must mention that Eric provided the paint).
If you want value for your hard earned money then I would suggest that you do not hire this Company. Eric did offer to redo the job if I paid for the paint - buy why should I pay for his screw-ups. I, have to pay for my screw-ups and therefore he should pay for his. Added to this, what guarantee do I have that he is going to get the job done right, this time around.
