JMD PAINTING AND RESTORATION

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THE OWNER, JIM DUNN, WAS DISHONEST, MANIPULATIVE, AND THREATENING. HE SAID A LOT OF THINGS TO GET THE CONTRACT FROM US THEN HONORED ALMOST NOTHING HE HAD SAID. THE WORKERS WOULD JUST DISAPPEAR FOR MONTHS AT A TIME, I'M ASSUMING ON SOME OTHER JOB. HE TOOK WAY LONGER THAN HE SAID HE WOULD FIRST PHASE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE 3 MONTHS, IT TOOK MORE THAN 8 AND WASN'T FINISHED. THE SECOND PHASE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE 6-8 WEEKS, AFTER 4 1/2 MONTHS IT WAS STILL FAR FROM COMPLETE. THEN HE REFUSED TO FINISH THE JOB UNLESS WE HANDED OVER A BUNCH MORE MONEY, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD ALREADY PAID HIM MORE THAN HE HAD BILLED FOR. HE REFUSED TO LET US WITHHOLD 10% TO BE PAID UPON COMPLETION, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS STANDARD PRACTICE (25% IS ACTUALLY STANDARD). WHEN CONFRONTED WITH PROBLEMS, THE OWNER, JIM DUNN, WOULD TWIST EVERY FACT AND REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING. THEY NEVER COMPLETED THE JOB. WE HAD TO HIRE SOMEONE ELSE AND PAY AGAIN FOR WORK WE HAD PAID JMD FOR.
