Raulerson's Painting Service LLC

He first argued with my wife about what color paint to use, insisting he use antique white even though she wanted pure white. He then claimed to prep, prime, and apply two coats of paint on our ceilings-all within a seven hour time frame. We have a 2100 sf house, and know it's impossible to paint that size house with one coat primer, and two coats paint within seven hours. The painting looked terrible. When we complained, he blamed it on the drywall/texture man, saying the texture was too thin. But even thinking that, he never told us beforehand that he felt the ceilings weren't ready for paint. He just went ahead and did the job, and then blamed someone else. We later had five independent painters look at the job and give their opinions. They each said the ceilings had not been prepped or primed. They said some rooms didn't even appear to have been painted at all, even though he claimed to paint them. Additionally, when there was a slight delay in getting a house key to him, rather than waiting 20 minutes for the key to arrive, he jimmied a window which broke the window lock. When I called to complain about the job, I asked him to come back and look at the work with us. He complained that he lived too far away to drive all the way back to look at it. He complained that his back was hurting because he had painted all day the day before. Yet a few days later, he walked into our home unannounced and uninvited, and insisted on discussing the paint job with my wife, who was busy with the moving company directing placement of our furniture and boxes. She explained that she was busy and it was not a good time to talk, yet he continued to follow her around the house as she was working with the movers. He kept blaming the problems on the drywall/retexturing man, the age of the house, and the brand and color of paint she had chosen. She finally asked him to leave the house.
