BASSETT PAINTING

GEORGE, THE PAINTER AND OWNER OF THE COMPANY, WAS A COMPETENT PAINTER AND FAIRLY REASONABLY PRICED. WE WERE ESPECIALLY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS AFTER THE FIRST HALF OF THE WORK WAS COMPLETED -- NEAT AND EFFICIENT. THE SECOND JOB WAS NOT AS GOOD. SOME OF THE DETAILS WERE IGNORED (REMOVING PICTURE NAILS BEFORE PAINTING FOR EXAMPLE) AND WE HAD SOME SMALL SPLATTERS TO CLEAN UP. BUT I WOULD STILL SAY THAT OVERALL THE WORK WAS GOOD QUALITY. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE SCHEDULING. WE WERE ''PROMISED'' A TENTATIVE DATE SEVERAL TIMES, AND NEVER ADDED TO THE ACTUAL SCHEDULE. THIS RESULTED IN A DELAYS LASTING FOR WEEKS. OUR LAST ATTEMPT TO SCHEDULE MORE WORK RESULTED IN NO RETURN CALL, AFTER A PROMISE TO DO SO. THE ATTITUDE DURING THIS EXCHANGE WAS VERY NON-PROFESSIONAL, AND JUVENILE; ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM TO WITHHOLD A POSITIVE OVERALL RECOMMENDATION TO ANY OF OUR FRIENDS.
