Ford Painting

He seemed to know what he was doing, estimating from one walk-through how many gallons of paint he would need. No others did so. They took several days to many days to give estimates. He also came in lowest. I gave him the job because he is deaf, illiterate, and older, and seemed to need the work. But he started sloppy and got worse. I had him re-paint one room because the paint did not cover what was there. As I began to look closely at what he had done, I had him re-touch and clean up mistakes, but these became too numerous to point out. I decided that I would make him clean up before I finished paying him. However, he took some shelves and drawers away to spray paint them. He brought them back, WET!!! on May 14. When I told him I was unhappy with his work, he threw them down and said he was leaving. I was going to tell him he had to clean up his work and re-do the unfinished places (one door had only one coat of paint on it; the drawers were so lightly painted that the carpenter's markings were clearly visible), but he never gave me the chance. Do not let this man paint for you!
