Worst company ever, worst experience ever, I wish I could give them 0 stars for their work and the headache I have had for the last year. John is also a LIAR because he told me he was bonded and insured, and if the paint peeled that his insurance would cover it. I called him a few months ago and he told me he didn’t have insurance, never said he did and that he would send his crew back. I told him no way, I never want them to set foot inside my house again and that I wanted my money back. He said he would review the job and call me back. HE NEVER DID. We hired John from a referral, he came over, seemed professional, told us our 1940s paint was oil based so we would need to prime and sand everything. We hired him because it all sounded right. I am also in the construction industry so I knew what had to be done. When his crew showed up, they refused to prime or sand. They told us they sanded, but it was just lies. We called John and mentioned the oil based paint and primer, and then he flat out denied ever saying that. We continued to get gaslit by John and his crew about the primer and peeling paint as we continued to ask for it and as they continued to paint on coats of paint and it continued to peel and bubble. 4 coats of paint later (and about $3,000 of extra paint costs that I had to cover), our walls started bubbling and peeling a week after they left. A year later, our walls are peeling off in pieces, on both the walls and the ceiling and the whole house needs to be repainted. I’ll post pictures. Not only this, but they refused to sand any cracks, they painted over holes without spackling, painted over DUST!, used caulking to fill chipping areas and corners but then forgot to paint over the caulk, so we have yellow patches in multiple places…. they painted over all of our door hinges, rendering them unusable. They painted over all of the cabinet hinges, so now they are peeling. They painted our cabinets without sanding, so none of the cabinet doors close. Not to mention, they did the messiest job painting the cabinets, missing complete areas and globbing on paint. They also painted around vents, towel bars, light fixtures, etc so if we remove anything, there isn’t paint. I’ve honestly never felt so gaslit by a person or a company. I have never written a bad review to any company, it has taken me a year to justify this review with the rage that has built up. But both John and his crew were spewing lies and have no integrity to fix anything or admit wrong. Painting isn’t cheap and is a headache to move furniture, etc… you hope to do it once every 10+ years, not the next year. We will have to move out, sand off all 4 COATS and start over. Thanks John, for absolutely nothing!
