The quality of the work is unquestionable. It was excellent! The painter did a perfect job.
We had a big issue with the pricing though. Initially I was going to hire him for the stairs only as I was doing the paint job myself. Since he did not want to do such a small job, I asked him to quote the entire living room, hall and kitchen since it was the same color and a big open space. He quoted me for this job $500. My wife and I decided then to ask him to quote for other areas we already had planned to do: Bedroom, office and master bathroom. I asked the painter clearly: You are charging me $500 for downstairs, how much you would charge for EVERYTHING? He quoted me $600 for everything as he needed the work. $600 seemed fair as most companies charge around $300 per day for 2 painters. When he was halfway done with the job I gave him the money and he demanded $1100. I did not had money for $1100 so I told him to grab his stuff and go. He decided to call Manny (his boss) which clearly said to him: THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO.
I called Manny 10 times, left him 10 SMS and no voicemail as his box was full. Clearly he did not wanted to face the problem and did not care about me as a customer. He did answer the painter calls though...
I worked out a payment schedule and a discount with the painter, but even though I am extremely satisfied with the work, I will not use this company in the future. His lack of professionalism to face the problem is a big red flag.
