Loris (Elma Painting) did an amazing job. He replied to me the same day that I contacted him, and he came to view the job and give me a quote the next day. The painting was flawless and he was professional, on time, and very efficient. Highly recommend.
We hired this company to repaint our ceiling. We are very unhappy with them. I painted the ceiling initially and I had three minor roller marks. Otherwise it was a good job considering I am by no means a professional, but my wife wanted a nice flat ceiling with no roller marks. So, we had Elma Painting come to our house and the owner criticized my work and said it was no wonder I had roller marks. I rolled the wrong way against the window light. He said he could have the ceiling perfect with no roller marks and my wife would be so happy when my wife came home from work. We had to buy the paint and owner said he really liked our paint choice. He and his assistant showed up the next morning and in two hours from start to finish, the ceiling was done. It looked good when wet so I paid him the $400 cash we had agreed to. As the ceiling dried, these huge roller marks and orange peel paint started showing. (See attached photo). By the time my wife came home the ceiling was a huge mess. She was in tears. I called owner to request that he come to view his painting and that we were not satisfied. He did not come until 12 days later. We texted and called him numerous times during the 12 days. I asked two other painters what their opinion was on the ceiling job. Their replies were very negative. Elma Painting finally did come and was not apparently happy what he saw. I told him of the other painters opinions. He offered two hundred dollars back and he would fix the job by spraying the ceiling and we would buy the paint. His labour would be no charge. We accepted two hundred as partial refund and agreed to the spraying but reminded him we paid him $400.00 cash and bought the paint for $150. We now have to buy paint again. Total cost will be another $150. Two days later I had to call him and ask when he is coming. Here is his text wording response to me: "Good evening Neil. I just don't feel doing it after what happened. I am sure applying a primer and flat white by spraying will make things much better. Maybe those other two painters that came may be helpful. I hope you understand. Good luck." So, we still don't have our ceiling painted properly. It is a huge additional cost and I am 66 years old and my wife is older as well. This company did not stand by it's work; it's promises; nor did they follow through with what they said they would. Every day my wife looks at the ceiling and I have to look at her disappointed face. We will probably have to spend another $500 or more to get this terrible job fixed.
