They started off on a bad foot because the day they started all they did was put paper and plastic on the floor and carpet and doors. Then they returned 2 days later to start the work. Several other times they did not show up for work, but did not let us know in advance or why there was a problem. The night (Sunday) before they were to start grouting we got a call as to what color they were to use. All this had been supplied to them in writing. Obviously the grout had not even been purchased. The next morning my husband was had to go get the grout.
Grout does not look good - not do to the selection. I think it was not mixed well so it is darker in some places and lighter in others. There are a couple of placed on the floor which more grout or something. Also, some of the grout lines are wider than others.
I think the owner of this business is a nice guy, but this job was out of their skill level. We should have talked to people that all they did is ceramic tile. Because of this job, I would not hire them again or recommend them. They should not have accepted this job.
We agreed on price and installation date. Work was performed on date and price agreed to.
"Although the customers were concerned of “tacky” paint, they were previously informed that due to being oil-based paint and also the effect of humidity due to the bedroom being on the second floor, the paint would take several days (possibly 4 or more) to cure and completely dry. We were in contact with the customer over the several days and in regards to the homeowner stating we didn’t respond, we did in fact go back a second time to re-paint the door on top of the still slightly wet paint, which resulted in a longer curing time. The following day, the customers were still persistent on the paint being wet, which then they demanded we come back and chemically strip the wood panel doors and trim to repaint. In discussion with the owner, this was not advised due to the paint having never had time to fully dry the first time. In addition, to chemically strip the door would have cost more than the entire job which was quoted at $500.00 for painting the walls, trim & ceiling. When painting in any type of 1900yr. home, paint can take multiple days to fully dry due to the layers of paint before it and being oil-based added additional drying time which we had the impression the homeowner understood. In conclusion, the homeowner never paid any money on this project although they were informed of the time for paint to dry. Athens Handyman Service is a member of the Better Business Bureau since 2007 with an "A" rating. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority in which we strive to maintain with every job. Due to the customers unreasonable request to strip all wet paint, we elected to complete with no charge to the customer."
