What followed was nothing short of a nightmare. In one day they completely destroyed the level 5 finish on the drywall. It was as if someone who had never painted before did the work. There were lap lines everywhere. There were roller marks between the ceiling and the wall that were 1/16" tp 3/8" think along the entire perimeter. He agreed that it was a horrible mistake and agreed to fix it. After a few hours with a palm sander he claimed it was fixed. The paint lap lines were so thick they could still be seen. It would have taken a week to sand the paint down to where it had started.
Ironically when I first met Bill I asked him if he knew any painters that did really high end Faux work for one of the rooms in the basement. He gave me the name and his referral painter was on the Job working on the other rom the day the issues came up. So Bill asked the other painter what his opinion was on how to fix it. The other painter replied that the only way to get it right was to re-skim the entire basement with drywall mud and sand it down back to a level 5. The Faux painter was on a tight schedule and offered to skim the room he was working in so he could complete his job. Bill agreed to pay him for the repairs. He also agreed to pay me $700 (extremely reasonable) to hire a drywall crew to resurface the drywall. Long story short after the call when Bill said he would mail me a check for the drywall repairs I never heard from him again. I think he changed his phone number as I called many times had friends call, had the other painter call and had a GC who knew him try and reach him over the course of a month. I then sent a very nice letter asking to resolve this amicably and request he cut me a check for $3800 which is what it cost me to fix his mistakes and which he had already verbally agreed to pay me. He never responded once to all the calls and the nice email.
Avoid this company at all costs. He cost me $3800 for making the wrong choice in a painter. No I have to pursue Liens against him, the BBB, and small claims court over $3800.00 :-(
In the end the other painter helped me finish the job after the drywallers were done and he did an amazing job! Glad I had a back up!
I took four bids/interviews from the best rated on Angie's list. Bill was not the cheapest, but I had confidence in the job he would do based on our first meeting, and he and his crew proved me true. I would recommend Bill and I would use him again.
The project went very well. He was willing to do exactly what we wanted and he did it in a reasonable amount of time. When we walked around the project afterward, Bill fixed every item I pointed out. The quality of the work was excellent. He sprays and then back rolls the area. There was not a drop of paint spilled anywhere- seriously, not a drop. He said his men would act like gentlemen and they did. I was comfortable with my kids being outside while they worked. He suggested painting the foundation below the siding and simply included that in the project at no cost. We had to replace the back door window frame and that took a little time to get done. Bill agreed to come back and finish the door. He offered me a $50 bill to secure his promise. After talking with him for a little while I really felt that his word was a good enough guarantee.
