Painting Services Unlimited

A few days after the job began, I was informed by them that I had mis-read the quote that they had given me. They had listed the wording "does not include replacement wood" which to me meant, the quote did not include the cost of the wood. Instead, they handed me an estimate for the additional cost of $8,800.00 at which point, I cancelled the work on the apartments ( which is what the replacement wood was for) and told them to adjust the original estimate to include just the main house. To my astonishment, they reduced the cost of the original $9,700.00 estimate by only $900.00. All the previous estimates I had gotten from painters put the cost of doing the house at around $7,500.00 and these guys were now charging me $8,900.00 for the work. However, since they had started the job I let them continue. What happened next just flabbergasted me. They put down a coat of the final paint without even showing me a swatch of color. I had told them I had wanted a white for the main color of the house similar to the white on the apartments, so they just chose a color and started painting without even asking me if that was the color I wanted. Then when I saw it and took objection to it since the color was actually a light yellow more than a white, they charged me $1,800.00 for the color change. Numerous other things went wrong as well, they broke a bedroom window, messed up my garage door opener, broke a few outside patio tiles and failed to remove some jacuzzi equipment that was scheduled for removal in the original quotation. Whatever you do, don't hire these guys.

After the work was completed, we pointed out: A large area of drips in the middle of one of the dining room walls at about eye level, Bathroom trim was and still (over four months later) is very sticky and has peeled off in some areas. We have tried repeatedly to get these problems rectified only to receive excuse after excuse, the last of which was that Sherwin Williams ran out of paint.
