We hired The Handyman Company in late May for an interior paint job on a 2 bedroom condo in Fort Myers. We made the decision to hire the company to complete to job 2 days later with the agreement that the job would be complete by June 15th, which was the day we were moving into the condo. Initially the work appeared to be going very well, although the painter started several days later than promised and 2 rooms were painted very nicely within the first day of beginning the work. After this, everything went downhill and has continued to snowball since. Two days prior to move-in I walked into my condo to the realization that the 2 rooms completed on the first day of work were still the only rooms completed; I promptly called the company in anger and tried to fire them. They convinced me that if I would allow them to complete the work that they would have ?a team of painters? come in and finish the job prior to move-in day. Of course, I chose incorrectly when I allowed them to continue working?The work drug out for another 8 weeks, and after filing 2 complaints with the Better Business Bureau the work was finally complete. In order to get the job done I had to call and reschedule every appointment multiple times as the painter simply would not show up when promised without any notice.
As for the quality of the work, it was sophomoric at best. When the painter declared the work complete we went through the home and found so many errors and missed areas that we exhausted nearly an entire roll of painters tape marking the mistakes- including, but not limited to, paint stains on the floors, entire doors and wall sections not painted, spotty trim work, and wall paint on ceilings and doors.
My experience with this company was equivocal to having the same nightmare every night for 12 weeks (I will remind you that this was proposed as a 1 week job). I do not feel I got my money?s worth as I spent more hours rescheduling appointments and trying to get the work completed that I would have rather paid another company double than deal with this nonsense. There are plenty of options in Southwest Florida when it comes to painters- beware of this company; they talk a big game but do not follow through as promised. This is unequivocally the worst experience I have ever had with a contractor. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate them in the negative digits.
It is great I got the wow factory for my kitchen without the wow price , enjoyed working with Paul he has the expierence and tools to get the job done correctly.
