Dan the Man Painting & Handyman Services

Dan is a nice man, but just about the worst painter ever. He is messy; there are drips of paint all over -- on our hardwood floor, on the painted walls surrounding the window frames, on the baseboard heating elements, you name it, there is paint on it, including an oriental rug which he clearly walked on with paint on his shoe. He also does a very poor job; he missed whole sections on the trim, scraped and sanded some of the paint, but left others, painted over chips of paint that were on the window sill, and clearly did not prime the trim after I explicitly asked him to when he came to start the job. We are trying to cover and seal lead paint and without a primer, nothing sticks and the paint just peels off. I am now having to scrape all the chipping paint off that was not scraped by Dan, prime all the trim and paint it over again -- basically doing 80% of the job I hired him to do. On the positive side, he is inexpensive. This is certainly a case of "you get what you pay for". We would have been happy to pay more if he had done a thorough and proper job. In the end, I just paid him and will look for someone else to handle my handyman/painting jobs.
