Double T T Painting

The overall experience with them was not that good. One job remains to be finished that they said that they were going to do for months and then in addition to that the gentleman has cut down some 30 year old tree to put a ladder there so he could get in top of the building and he didn’t ask me if he could cut down tree, so I wasn’t happy about that. I actually used them for rental properties but it has been two months that he started the job. Their price was a little bit high. They weren’t that very considerate with respect for my property and in addition to that they didn’t finish the job. I was not happy at all. The first job they did for me I was very pleased with.

Provider agreed to prep the exterior by power-washing the painted surfaces, scraping the old paint from the wood surfaces, sanding, priming the wood, painting with exterior house paint, caulking windows and other gaps in the wood surfaces.  The house is a one-story brick home with wooden gables.  Provider said that he was giving my mother-in-law a senior discount due to her age (she is 103).  He agreed to do this for a full fee of $3,500.  He said that he would need an advance of $1,750 to buy the paint and equipment he would need for this job.  Provider was given a check for the $1,750 advance from my mother-in-law.  Provider was to start work in mid-July.  Shortly thereafter, we got a call that he was demanding another "advance" of $750.  We refused to pay him this second advance.  We got reports from the caretaker that stays with my mother-in-law that the Provider was not scraping and sanding the wood surfaces as he agreed and was using an interior paint on this job.  We talked to one of my wife's brothers, who lives in Abilene, Texas. who drove to Midland, Texas. to check on the progress of the paint job.  He inspected the job and although he did not feel the job was up to the standard, we expected, he approved payment of the balance owed on the original contract price of $3,500.  My wife and I have not been to Midland yet to inspect the workmanship so I am operating on hearsay about th quality of the job.  We were very disappointed by the reports that we received about the poor quality of workmanship and the sloppiness of the job.

In the first couple of weeks they didn't work 8 hours a day. After agreeing to half up front and half at the end he continued to ask for advances. He was very messy and got paint on everything including a brand new Harley. Had to remind them daily on the same details. Very sloppy job painting. Doors and trim are different colors and didn't complete everything as ageed. End result we are going to have to have all the doors and trim repainted.

Went pretty well.  They seem to have a small budget to work with. The man kept sending his wife over for  little more money every day or two.  The painting was pretty good.

Contacted these people from your list.  Came over promptly, looked at what I needed done.  Gave me a bid, We set a time to start and the job was done.

Cigarette butts left around yard, wanting advances on payment daily (not deal agreed to in beginning of job), said would have a crew to do the job but ended up being contractor and his wife. Took five days instead three that he estimated.

Very horrible. It took us a week to get most of the paint off of the majority of our furniture. They ruined our sofa with paint. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE! If you hire them do not pay up front and buy your own paint.

Very well.

Came out very punctual and gave my husband a bid.  When I called him to start the job he gave me a slightly higher price.  On the first day of the job he calls me to tell me it's a bigger job than he thought and wanted to double the price of the estimate.  I told him to stop what he was doing.  Then he decides to do it for the orginal bid.  He did not negotiate for 1/2 down but wanted that on the 2nd day.  And wanted advancements throughout the week because he was "broke".  If you can put up with all of that, the work he did was actually good.

Thye job went so well, I see areas inside the home that I will probably call him back about to come out and do the work.  This is a good find!
