Roden's Painting

I hired Rodens painting to hang drywall, texture, install crown molding, base molding, and paint my house after a water pipe burst during the February 2021 freeze. We had an agreement for $25,900 in total work. I paid him $24,900 before he abandoned the job and have not heard from him since. He requires payment constantly because he does not have the capital to buy materials before beginning any part of the job. Work began on 10/21/2021 and the last check given to him was on 3/31/2022. He did not have much oversight with his employees during this time and as a result there was great variation in all the aspects of the work. Eventually he just abandoned the job in July 2022 after he stopped taking my calls. I gave up on him as I was disgusted with the quality of his work and decided to take a loss and have another contractor finish the work for an additional $8000. Problems were all over the scope of their work. There were visible drywall seams followed by terrible spray texturing of the walls which varied from very thick in some areas and normal in other areas (sometimes on the same stretch of wall). His employees did mediocre work with the crown molding. I though painting would be an easy process for his crew but they failed in that aspect as well. There were several walls that were not primed prior to being painted and this resulted in a very splotchy texture which looked terrible. They failed to properly cover some furniture with drop cloths and this resulted in primer being sprayed onto all different areas as well as on the furniture. Towards the end of the project, outlets were not even covered and spray texture and paint were applied directly over them. They did not even take the time to put painters tape over the outlets! Then, to top it off, he purchased paint from several different companies resulting in various shades of grey all over the house. There were at least 3 different paint brands used. Overall, I was very disappointed in almost every aspect of his work.

Tommy and his staff were very professional. Tommy kept me informed of any repairs that needed to be addressed as well as painting. He and his crew were punctual and completed the job in a timely fashion.

This company is VERY professional and true to their word. They painted the whole interior of my house, applied texture and stained my decks. I would hire them to do any work they say they are capable of.

a very good painter that uses good quality products

Simply put, the quality of the work was top shelf! And the service was impeccable, from the owner Tommy down to every man on his crew. They all far exceeded what I was hoping for in every way and I couldn't be happier with the experience and the end result. I'm going to have them back in a few weeks for additional work on the exterior of the house as well. Unconditional recommendation!

Tommy & his crew were wonderful! They did a great job painting the exterior of our home! They went beyond what we expected. Very meticulous about chalking every hole & covering the brick with plastic (and it was very windy). They texted every morning so I could get my dogs out before they arrived. Neighbors loved the new color & how clean they kept the worksite. We HIGHLY recommend Tommy.

I hired Tommy Roden to re-stain my back porch and deck at a home I own at Cedar Creek Lake. Their bid was twice as high as the other 2 competitors, but I wanted a quality job so I went with them. They applied Sherman Williams paint to both surfaces. When completed the work looked very good. But within 24 hours the surfaces in both areas started to bubble up. I told them and they came out to see if they could repair it. It didn't work. They said it was the product. We asked Sherman Williams in Gun Barrel City to come out and take a look. The Sherman Williams rep said that admitted that the problem was a result of their product failing. After much back and forth, Sherman Williams offered to pay for Mr. Roden to come back out, strip and re-apply and the job turned out great. Many thanks to Tommy who stood behind his work and went the extra effort to be sure I was taken care of.

They were very careful to leave everything clean after they finished. They did an excellent job, came on time and their price was reasonable.
