Peter Wilson Painting & Decorating

I had searched for a painter to redo the exterior of my wonderful 1924 Bungalow CRAFTSMAN. I searched for historical painters and craftsmen of this era and style. Peter Wilson kept popping up, he's even on the Pasadena Heritage website as a trusted contractor. To make a long painful journey as easy to put into words as possible. This guy is an armchair quarterback, he only shows up on site for his "progress checks"! And usually smelling like the local dispensary. All the work is done by his 3 amigos! After his guys had taken metal grinders to my 80 plus year old shiplap Redwood siding, and I was visibly upset about the lack of concern for the siding or finished jobs appearance, Peter told me "calm down and come smoke a joint with him"! ***!!! Then he proceeded to tell me that someone else had done that damage and it wasn't his guys. Then he told me my house was a "P.OS." When he got there and blah blah blah. He was stoned and argumentative! Because of that, I had to replace 60 plus boards, I should have replaced more, but I just wanted the job over and him and his guys off my property. This is who he is and what you'll get, BEWARE! In my 53 years on this planet and all the job sites I've overseen and contractors I've hired he is one of the worst, touts himself as an artist but in a actuality he's just there to get the check and get off site as quick as possible. In the end he told me I should be happy with the job I got at the price I was charged. I am still in AWE of this guy and how he can possible still be working! When he says look at all his other "outstanding" reviews do yourself a favor and check the timelines,, most are over 5-7 years ago,

We haven’t done the project yet, we are still getting bids. I think that the estimate was very thorough and professional, but it was high compared to others.

He has done a high quality job. He is not the cheapest person around but I would recommend him to anybody. He is extremely easy to work with when you hire him. He will redo a color if it is something you do not want. He will bring in other samples and put it on till you finally find one you like and then go ahead with it.
