I have gone back and forth writing this review, but now having to replace my carpets (costing $3,000) and will need to have this paint sanded off the walls and redone.... I feel a need to share. I hired Tim to paint the entire interior of our new home and being a first time home owner, I was very trusting....
Total cost of painting: $8,700
Upfront down payment for materials: $3,000
I told him I would be replacing the carpet in the upstairs rooms but not the downstairs, he did not cover the carpets downstairs and they were ruined. He offered to have them "cleaned" but after multiple cleaning crews coming in and telling me they will not be able to fix it, I had to order new carpet. This cost me $3,000
I requested very specifically which paint I wanted used, they used a cheaper one (latex based) and then watered it down so much it left small bubbles popped all over the place. My boyfriend and I have spent days trying to patch and roll over these spots to fix it. I have had 2 other painters come in to assess the spots and they confirmed it was from watered down paint. They have also told me the only real way to fix it is to have the walls sanded down and repainted with proper technique and quality paint.
When I booked Tim, he told me it would take 8-10 working days to complete the job. So, I had scheduled my new carpet installation accordingly. They did not finish on time and I had to reschedule everything else around it.
We have stained wood baseboards that now have white paint one them, hardwood floors with paint splattered into the grooves. Lights that were painted over. Just a mess!
After the "completion" of the painting, when we told Tim that we were not happy due to the above issues, he told us he wouldn't be able to even START rectifying the issues until 5 days later. He said he would touch up the drips and cracks but when confronted about the bubbled walls, he claimed it was from underlying stucco that caused it.... if he had taken responsibility for the errors and actually tried to fix them, I would have paid him. After the deposit, the total owed would have been $5,700. I GENEROUSLY gave him $2,000 for his employees time but I am now regretting I even did that. This will cost me so much more to have it fixed than it would have to hire an adequate painter from the start. I do not recommend his services.
