J Michaels Painting Inc

He is a complete idiot and unbearable to work with.

He showed up, and immediately glared at my Beautiful Wife because she is a Black Woman. The service I hired him for - painting an interior wall a new shade of yellow - was done sloppily enough that I to chip off all the paint left on the floor of my home. He became extremely aggravated when my Children came home from School, and went outside and spoke on his phone aggressively for at least 45 minutes to someone before I had to come out and ask him what his problem was. My wife by then knew to keep the Children away from him and they went out to run errands and I handled his deplorable behavior. Do not hire.

Untrustworthy and use cheap materials. Stay away. I wish I could take my money back.

Really bad fro business..Could not get through to him cus of the color of my skin. Worse type of human ever

Worst experience ever. Couldn?t complete something as simple as Dry wall! He also treats clients very poorly based on the pigment of their skin. If I could give 0 stars I would!

Horrible experience!

The worst experience I?ve had with a painter in my entire life. Avoid this business at all costs, if I could give less stars I would. Please I urge you to find business elsewhere save yourself

Was disappointed in quality after work was done - called in and asked the lady in the office for one of the guys to come back out and she told us they would get out next week - never showed. She calls and tells us they?re coming out Tuesday afternoon and when they get here they wanted to charge me because they claim that I ran the AC too cold which causing dripping - after arguing with the receptionist they sanded it down and repainted the drips but it doesn?t match now the finish is off in those areas and they refuse to come back out

Took forever to do a subpar job. I don?t understand how they have a business still.

Unprofessional and hateful person the owner Mike is.

Absolute worst company, save yourself the time and stress and avoid this company. Charged me $6500 for a very small job that was left incomplete and messy. Racist, misogynistic owner and most of the crew as well. Do not support this business.

This was by far the worst experience I?ve ever had with hiring professional painters. Next time I?ll just see who?s looking for side work. These people over charge and under deliver. Late every day and leaving after only 2 hrs of work. Stretched a 3 day job out to a 7day and charged me for the extra days just to paint 2 rooms. Despicable and unethical

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was the worst experience I have ever had with a painting company. The crew that came to paint our master bedroom and bathroom was rude, lazy, and completely unprofessional. I felt uncomfortable having them in my home from the start. They spent more time on their phones and making excuses than actually working. The quality of the work was mediocre at best. The hole patches were done so poorly that you can still see the outlines through the paint. There are streak marks on the walls, paint bleeding into the top trim, and several spots that were missed completely. They left the place a mess with paint splatters on the floor, dust everywhere, and trash left behind. We were told the job would take two days at most. It ended up dragging on for an entire week because of constant excuses and delays. After several phone calls and arguments with the rude owner, he finally sent three new guys who finished the job in four hours. Stay away!!

I wish I could give zero stars

Terrible experience. Owner was disgustingly rude and made awful comments toward my wife. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY

Well for starters, owner showed up 45 min late and didn?t discount anything, no apology or nothing. This is honestly one of the worst drywall installations I?ve ever seen. The seams are uneven, the mudding is sloppy, and it looks like they didn?t even bother to sand or smooth out the joints. The corners are cracked, the tape is lifting, and parts of the drywall look like they were just patched together with no structure or care. It?s clear whoever did this job had no real experience or attention to detail. I expected clean lines and a smooth finish.. instead, I got a lumpy, cracked mess that now needs to be redone by a real professional. Extremely disappointing and a total waste of money. Do NOT hire this company if you want quality work done.

Avoid using this company. The owner is openly hateful and racist, and their work is also of poor quality. They are terrible painters who deliver subpar results. Supporting this business means tolerating harmful beliefs and settling for bad workmanship. Choose companies that respect all people and provide quality service.

Terrible work and even worse human being

It is disheartening that in this day and age, prejudice can still find a home in places of business. My experience with this owner reflected not only a lack of professionalism, but a disturbing disregard for the basic respect owed to every human being. As someone who values equality, empathy, and the hard-earned progress of those who have fought against generations of discrimination, I cannot in good conscience support or recommend this establishment. Patronizing a business is not only a transaction?it?s a statement of values. And no one with a sense of dignity or awareness of our collective struggle for justice should give their support to those who perpetuate racism in any form. We all deserve to be treated with decency, regardless of race or background. This is a reminder that where we spend our dollars reflects what kind of world we?re willing to tolerate?and I, for one, will not fund intolerance.

Awful job. Made horrible comments to my wife

Worst results ever. Never hire this business.

This is a review of what we went through when we hired J. Michaels Painting (owner Mike Purvis) to paint our house and everything was fine in the beginning. He came the day we scheduled for the initial estimate. He was late. He did call to say he was running late. So, then we setup the appointment for “color consult” which he says is included in the price. He will help us decide a color(s). Well, he seemed to be frustrated with us trying to figure out which color(s) to choose. He made his recommendation, etc. He seemed to rush us. Which we did not like. Anyway, he left us a swatch book for us to look at. It then turned out that we had to decide a color and that we had to by a certain time. I sent him a text saying Mike we are still racking our heads with colors. What’s the latest we can send them to you. He replied back 4:00..why don’t you just trust me? Your putting way too much thought into this. I replied…that’s us. So, after that I called him and spoke with him on the phone and he again repeated trust me. He wanted to go with one color that he recommended on one wall and another on the other walls. He again said trust me. He said it’s only paint. He then said I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. If you let me paint the one wall the color that I’m recommending and I will give you two weeks to decide. If you and your wife don’t like it I will repaint it whatever color we want and that he will eat the cost. So, me and my wife discussed and said well let him do it. If we don’t like it he will repaint it. Well, the day came to paint the house. They did a good job moving furniture and covering things. The painting was ok. Not as good as I thought it was going to be. Well, we notice quite a few spots that needed to be touched up. They missed a lot of spots that needed to be spackled, caulked, etc. As a few days went by we noticed more. So, anyway we were trying to get used to the one color and as we were stated give it two weeks and see, so we did and after that we decided we did not like it. So, I contacted his office and spoke with Donna and told her that we did not like the color and mentioned to her what Mike Purvis (owner) said. Also, to report that we need touchups to the work performed. She said ok. Then I get a call back from Donna saying that it will cost us $150.00 to be repainted and that Mike said that he was talking about the faux finish wall, which we clearly stated, no matter what we don’t want that touched. So, we just said forget about it. That to me was a feeling of bait and switch. let it be a lesson never to trust or take someone on their word – GET IT IN WRITING!!!!! So, now we have an appointment for them to come and fix all of the imperfections that they left. I was told by Donna in a VM that they would be out on that day anywhere from mid-morning to mid-afternoon and that someone would call me an hour before they would come. So, after waiting around all day it was 3pm so I called the office to see what was going on. No answer. I left a message. I figured they weren’t showing up. I then get a call at 4:34 pm saying that we are on our way. I said well it’s too late. I didn’t think you were showing up and I have to work tonight. We will have to reschedule. This was the son of the owner that called. Well, to me 4:34- 5:30 is not mid-afternoon. Well, then I get a call from the owner Mike Purvis he just starts telling me all kinds of stuff before I can get three words out of my mouth. This guy is a class A scum bag. So, I said I didn’t expect it to be this late. He then said ok I will call you Friday to setup another day. I said ok. Well, then that night at 8:10 pm I get a text from him saying “Changed my mind after seeing how ur family really is self-centered and userous. Stick ur touchups in ur ***…yes, ur entire family. We live better because we r better people.” I responded with “If ur what u call better people. Good thing I still have ur secretary’s VM.” He responded back ”I pay her. She will laugh at ur whiney ***…Try it…c what u get” AS AN ASIDE: We came to hiring J. Michael Painting after getting a few quotes, while he was not the least expensive, they would be finished in one day which was the selling point. We had also heard of others that used them and were satisfied. We also felt a sense of trust as his son and our niece were dating (the families had never met though so we did not know the owner Mike Purvis at all). Come to find out the next day after the nasty text, that the kids had a falling out that ultimately led to a break-up. At the time we had no knowledge that anything was going on. It was strictly business, obviously J. Michael took it to a totally uncalled for and horribly insulting next step. I wouldn’t recommend this business to anyone who is looking to spend top dollar for painting or for professional and courteous treatment as a customer patronizing a business. I mean really c’mon who talks to people like that – a business who obviously cannot separate business from personal issues – that had nothing to do with anyone other than 2 people who were not involved with the business agreement, a business who does not care! If you decide to hire him – just remember to not have any opinion or too many questions or hesitations or go against what he is saying or interrupt him – you will probably receive the same verbal abuse as we did!

.

The guys arrived at 7:30 - taped everything, moved the furniture into the center of the room, covered all the floors, applied 2 coats, cleaned up and were done by 2. It was AWESOME! They were very polite and did a wonderful job. I would definitely hire them again.

Great. They were efficient and thorough.
