Student Painters

The foreman came to give us an estimate. We paid the deposit. Later, he kept pushing back the date for service. Finally, he came by himself and painted part of the house and told us his crew were stuck at another job. Next day two students showed up and did the work. However, some area was not covered because the foreman told them differently from what he promised us. Later, we also realized they did not prepare the surface before painting and calk the trim as the foreman promised. It only took two persons 1and half days plus the foreman a couples of hours to finish the job. Guess what!! Three years later, we need to replace the exterior because some wood and stucco boards were rotten. I will not recommend unless you watch/monitor what they are doing. They are not professional. The foreman is the one took the BIG profit and made bunch of lies and promises.

We obtained an estimate for painting our home on 6/12/13. We provided a deposit of $1500. After we selected colors in the following 2 weeks, it became very difficult to get a hold of our local student manager. As the weeks wore on into the Summer, he eventually did sample painting on the house with these colors, which we felt needed to be adjusted. We were not able to get return phone calls or emails from this student manager. It took a while to make contact with his supervisor, who agreed to return the deposit. The supervisor also offered to have a friend do the job for the same price quote; we declined this offer. We were disappointed in the responsiveness and supervision.
