Terry spent several weeks at our house. He would often show up late or not at all. He removed some of the wall paper in the bathrooms but did not completely remove the wallpaper in any of the rooms. He painted many of the rooms, but he did not completely finish any single room. He would paint over screws and nails without removing them, and did not fill in most of the holes in the walls despite being asked. He would not use a drop cloth and there were drops of paint from the walls and trim on our refinished hard wood floors. Despite this, we paid him promptly when he asked to be paid. He did not show up for work at all after about 1 month, and we could not contact him. We later found out that he had gone to jail. When he got out of jail, we contacted him again to finish the work. He promised numerous times to return and finish the work that we had paid him for (we especially needed him to finish the faux in the dining room), but he would never show up when he said he would.
Description of Work: Terry had done some painting for us in our previous house and had done an excellent job, so we hired him to paint the interior of the house that we moved to. We signed a contract to pay him $5500 for labor plus the cost of the paint for him to remove the existing wall paper, paint the entire interior of the house (all walls, ceilings and trim) in addition to doing a faux finish in 3 rooms.
