Joe came out for the first go round and had his incredibly talented Jason with him and another employee. Joe had to leave to finish another job but took the time to co e say Hi & personally introduce the other painter. When he left, I was fine...especially knowing how talented & professional Jason was! Jason tackled the bedroom and before he started, he removed all switch plates, outlet covers, etc. and took a great deal of precautions to ensure that none of our furniture our hardwood floors had so much as a speck of paint anywhere but on the walls. When he was done (BTW, MUCH sooner than his lesser talented counterpart), he put everything back together & replaced all outlet covers, switch plates, etc. The other employee, (I believe his name was Joe also) took his sweet time, didn't do anything Jason did for prep & finish and spoke negatively about his boss, Joe Mini, for the majority of the day. The previous owners of this home were the original owners and had thankfully, updated the house so we didn't walk into an avocado green or brown or gold kitchen. However, even though we had all new white appliances, they had painted the kitchen in a pale yellow (which was beautiful), but they had used a flat paint...a disaster for a kitchen! Any spills or spatters on the paint and when time to clean it up, the paint would come off the wall! We had previously used JSM for our ceilings because of random black, dirty areas. same thing in our kitchen on the ceiling and walls. Between the painting of the ceilings and this job, we had replaced ALL the windows that were very old and problem solved! However, when other employee painted, all he did was smear the first and the kitchen just looked like a dirty yellow. I called Joe Mini, owner, immediately...the color wasn't even close and he had just smeared the dirt. Joe apologized vehemently, came out and took a look and said he would correct it at no additional charge to us if he had to co e out and do it himself! I assured him that wasn't necessary if Jason or another qualified employee came out and he purchased more paint on his nickel and this time he sent someone named Ray out. Ray did a better job but used an INORDINATE amount of paint and although it looked better, he had wet paint all over home and was in such a hurry to leave...two or three hours early, he smeared paint all over the inside of the storm door at the front door. Again, I called Joe Mini more to inform him of what happened, the paint all over the door and his leaving after five and a half hours and that included an hour for lunch yet he told Joe he was here for the full day. Joe handled both employees appropriately! Having said all that, Joe Mini is a fantastic commercial and residential painter, he is incredibly professional and friendly, and has an abundance of integrity. No way willtwo bad apples spoil the bunch....we will be hiring him again for our next project and all the others to come!
