"Justin was friendly and he communicated promptly up until he was paid. He has yet to complete all the work he was paid for. I get it, life happens so I had to then I reach out to him to him via text two separate times inquiring when he would return to finish the job. I was told given three different dates when he would come back and finish the service he was paid for. He had no problem texting me to let me know I needed to buy more paint after he told me 5 gallons would be enough. He had no problem texting me his cash app for payment. This is very unprofessional and I would recommend not paying before the job is completed or just go with another company altogether."
