I would not use this painter again. He didn't finish the work he promised to do in his estimate, lied about coming to finish the work, and does not answer his phone anymore, nor does he return phone calls. I know how to paint and I was quite capable of painting the condo. But I hired AND PAID Steve because I hate painting. Didn't do me much good, did it?
Description of Work: Steve was to paint the entire interior (excluding ceiling) of a 800 sq ft condo I had just purchased but not yet moved into. I agreed to his estimate of $950 for paint and labor. I paid him the second day of what he said would be a 2-day job. Big mistake. He finished most of the work, but didn't do the storage/laundry room or complete the work in the two bedrooms. He left a note saying he stayed until 6:00 (so what? He had left sometime before 3:00 the previous day) and would call to arrange a time to finish the work. He hadn't called by two weeks later, so I called him. He answered the phone, said he would finish at end of week, he would call in a couple days to tell me what day. Needless to say, he didn't call. He hasn't returned any of my three calls since then. I needed to unpack my belongings and got tired of waiting, so I finished the work myself - paid another $30 for the paint, and spent about 3 hours finishing the work.

Response from STEPHEN'S PAINTING
I apologize for this. I did not even know I was on Angie's List so did not know about this Review. Being this was about 7 years ago I do not remember the project. Possibly it was something that was not included in the bid and was spoken about during conversation. Again I do apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding that occurred.
