I had some issues early on with punctuality, didn't show up on days he had scheduled. Prep work I thought had been done properly. Had originally asked and was promised that house would be primed first. In contract he stated an elastomeric patch and water water proofing system would be used. Told me that was the primer? Appeared to be clear sticky, drippy product, used only on the block. It actually just dripped down the walls. Once completed of course there was a huge improvement in the house. I did a brief walk around with him and things appeared to look good. He told me to wait a few days and do a thorough walk around, as the paint drys it will shrink and you will see "peepers", areas that need touching up. He said he would come back and finish it up. I did as he suggested and came up with a lengthy list. Including my front door that was apparently painted with a "flat" paint or applied improperly? It is very chalky and dull looking. I have areas that just need touching up, I have an area where concrete was chipped off and just left with no paint. I have areas where the colors were crossed over, body color on trim and vice versa. I have contacted Frank on 8 separate occasions each time he'd promise to be by within 2 days. My last call to him was 04/18/12, I left a very pointed message regarding my frustration. He responded same day and proceeded to give me a long list of excuses and said he would come by and finish up; I told him not to take another 2 months and he said he wouldn't. As of today May 1st, I have not heard or seen him. I am very disappointed and frustrated and will have to hire someone else to finish the job and purchase additional paint. None of which I can afford as I am currently unemployed.
