PMV Painting

unknown

I was not able to be present but from my post inspection the job looks very well done and except that the building looks better, very little signs they were present and willing to wait for me to be back to inspect the job before finishing payment.

PMV gave separate bids for painting part of our house and the roof our barn. Their bid for painting the house was more than 50% higher than the lowest bid. The bid for painting the house was lowest, I checked with several of their listed references and received positive recommendations for their work. I checked with references of the low bid for the house and received positive recommendations for them as well. For that reason I split the work and offered the work of painting the barn roof to PMV. In July I put a down payment of 10% and was placed on their list for painting. It was at least a month before they came to paint; they gave me an estimate of when they would arrive and they were quite close to that date. They kept us apprised of their arrival and work plans. Work went smoothly and without incident. The two young men who did the work were courteous, cheerful, and easy to have on our property. They cleaned up after themselves. PMV rented a big bucked lift to do the work. The lift was left on our property for several days (with our permission). The only snag in the operation was PMV asked for $300 more than their bid after painting the roof, claiming that the cost for paint was higher than expected. This seems strange to me since they delayed giving me a bid for more than a week so that they could get an estimate for the special paint they planned to use. Rather than argue the point I paid the bill.
