Midwest Painting Group llc

Please read this and think long and hard before hiring this contractor. I read all the internet reviews and selected this painter because of the positive comments. We, unfortunately, did not get the same service. Bob/Midwest Painting Group took our $2,025 deposit on May 18th, never showed up to start the job, and has not returned the deposit. He does not dispute that he owes us a refund; just won’t return our money. I fired them because Bob made every excuse in the book on why he did not show up: 1) two separate vehicle problems on two separate Wednesday mornings and then he nor his crew could come out through Friday because they could not transport ladders (so three days of not working?), 2)they couldn’t find our house using GPS (although Bob and two other workers made it to quote and pick up the deposit!), 3) the workers said it was too far to come to our house 4) I found out he lied about already having the paint and supplies purchased. He has also lied numerous times about sending the deposit back. He said he mailed it, then said he mailed it certified, then said he sent it using Zelle (but it would take 5-10 days!) My house was completely painted with 10 days of firing Bob, I had to pay that painter and Bob has my $2,025. PS: He was in a snit because I went to his home to request a refund. I went to the address on his estimate, which I assumed was a business address.
