Dimanno Painting & Wallpapering

As they began the interior work, we kept, as we have had to do with all contractors, a close watch on their work. For instance, they at first painted around our removable fireplace doors (they are so removable, that they were actually leaning away from the fireplace and thus obviously needed to be taken off before painting the fireplace). Also, they were not as careful with our furniture as we would have hoped. It was not damaged, but only because we stopped them, for example, when they were about to put sharp-ended curtain rods on a leather chair. We also secured coverings that they had loosely draped over several pieces and had pulled away, exposing them to paint, etc.
Unfortunately, for the exterior job, neither my wife nor I was able to monitor the work and, upon arriving home, I found them sitting on the front steps. I asked them if the work had been completed, and they assured me that it had. I wrote a check on the spot, and they left.
When my wife arrived home later, we inspected the work and found that they had neither sanded nor applied a second coat. The exterior paint job didn't last long. and the side porch looked terrible: bumps and previous paint jobs that were merely painted over and not sanded, as we had contracted for. We called them many, many times over the following days and weeks, but they never answered nor returned our calls. We would not use this company again.
