Response from ABC Painting & Drywall LLC
Thank you for calling ABC P&D LLC. I am badly sadden that you feel that way towards my company. Andy, my estimator (not owner) had a funeral to attend and I (Joe Solis/owner) went in his place. Reading Andy's notes and specs, your spending allowance were not going to meet. The Scope of Work was to remove all popcorn ceiling texture in some areas of the ceiling that were damaged and would need to be floated in order to be re textured right and painted. Install of about 17 sheets of drywall.... tape, float, texture and painted plus a few other items all with spending budget of $3,500? Projects of this size take anywhere from an hour to hour and half. On my arrival there was another contractor (I did't feel I was going to get the time to view the project in the time I needed) and didn't want half guess your project. I've been in the painting industry over 35 years I can walk in and knowing some of your needs I am able to have an estimate not a proposal. Knowing what type of paint, texture,etc.... and how many coats would determine the exact price point. I do apologize I didn't spend the 1-1.5 hours trying to convince you that your project was going to cost lots more than you had in mind but, I had to return to the the project I was working on. On a side note: Please excuse me for smelling like cigarette it is a bad habit and I'm on it to quit. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Joe Solis Jr. Owner/Operator ABC Painting & Drywall LLC
