jl painting llc

This company actually deserves a ZERO rating. I wish I'd done my research prior to hiring. I asked Jose Rivas, owner of JL Painting, for a quote to install underdeck roofing over my patio. Jose REQUIRED 50% deposit PLUS cost of materials up front. HUGE RED FLAG! His team destroyed my under deck roofing panels ($$) with poor cuts and improper installation. I let Jose know that I was not satisfied with the quality of work. And that I did not think they should have installed the patio ceiling fan until after they had completed and caulked the deck roofing. He created an electrical nightmare. See pic. It was quite evident they did NOT know how to properly install the product. I had to share a video with him to show how the product should have been installed. He said he would "make it right." Fast-forward - he has since stopped responding to my texts and has obviously blocked my calls. I wish I had read Tasha C. review prior to hiring. Apparently he has a history of taking advantage - he chases money but does not deliver the product. LESSON LEARNED: Make sure they know how to do the work. Do your research before hiring any contractor. Check references. Require proof that they have done and can do the work you need done. And most of all - NEVER HIRE JOSE RIVAS - JL PAINTING to do any of your projects. HE IS IN IT FOR THE 50% UPFRONT AND THEN HE RUNS IF HE DOES NOT WHAT TO COMPLETE THE TASK

The work started off alright. I purchased all the necessary materials at home depot with the contractor. Everything going along as planned with my basement renovations and then the electrician did something which caused the lights to not work. I contacted the company and was told that they would fix it for me, but they never did. The day after I paid them a third of their service price (per the contract), they just stopped coming and didn't call. I attempted to contact them multiple times via email, texts and calls. I gave them three weeks to contact me. They left the floors unfinished, the plumbing open, wires exposed where the light fixtures are supposed to be ,doors left to be installed, holes in the ceiling where they tried to find their mistakes with the electrician and new walls unfinished. I now need to find another contractor to fix the mess. Even though I continually asked for them to wear their masks, I would check on the work and find that they were not wearing masks. They were also smoking right outside my basement door and that made my house smell like cigarettes! They broke my blinds and said that they would replace them only to disappear and never give any explanation. Do not hire these people! If you do, don't pay them until they're done. I've never seen business done like this!! My basement is a disaster.
