Califan Painting Inc

Just misquoted us. He put a brown paint on the trim. I wanted white or creme. He then sent a bill for $4500 to change it. He had picked the brown trim color without our permission. The brown paint was dated May 2012 and was used from another job. He used illegal aged workers (14 year olds) on a 20' ladder. He argued with us and actually called my husband saying he wouldn't talk to me and completely degraded me. We ended up firing him and only half of our home was painted. It then took 3 months to hire another company because all of the reputable companies were unavailable.

Thank Goodness I no longer have this house, they totally rushed the house painting, started 2 coats in 1 day but told them there was supposed to rain later, they finished 2nd coat it rained 30 minutes later.  There was total lack of communication.  I understand you get what u pay for but this was ridiculous.

Exterior painting was quick and cleanly. The deck was painted but it peeled almost immediately. There was a problem with him receiving payments as well. Think there was a bit of a language barrier. I was happy with the house paint, but the deck painting could have used some more attention.

First, they took weeks to start the project, then they washed the fence but that my 2 year old could have done better with the garden hose. They came back a week later and sprayed everything including the grass, house, and windows. The job looks like they sprayed alot on and took the rest of the day off so now I have all the hardware covered in stain, and streaks of stain on my deck and fence.... it looks like 'runny' paint... I called the owner and asked him to meet with me about the condition that his crew left my house in, he told me to just pay the bill or he would take a lien against my house and that I didn't know what I was talking about.
