Response from Painting With A Woman's Touch
Yes I did leave the empty paint cans in a neat pile,,most of them boxed by the garage door. I usually take the cans with me and put them in my trash but because there were 20-30 empty cans I had no where to put them. The owner expressed his disappointment with this and I told him I would have my son come over with his truck and remove them...he was very angry and said they already had someone take them away. My contract did not say that we would remove any trash from the premises..this is usually the owner's responsibility. As far as the spots on the walls...I have no idea what he is talking about...he never said anything to me about it.. if there was a problem he should of contacted me and we would have solved the problem.

Great. Looks pretty. She had good suggestions from experience. She was flexible when we wanted to add some extra trim. There was a bit of a delay for the start (1 week), but Donna gave me plenty of warning so it wasn't a problem. She was excellent about communicating with me ahead and during the painting.

They started upstairs and worked their way down. The last three rooms that they were supposed to paint they rushed through the process. They knew a week ahead that I was having the cabinets in the kitchen put in. They should have planned to do this at a sooner time. There was a hole in a wall which they fixed. But they did not patch or sand any of the holes. Throughout the house there is a lot of paint on the trim and on the mantle. There were places that paint bled through because they only did one coat on the downstairs.They spent more time outside smoking rather than inside working. I have a lot of people who could prove this. At this point, I would appreciate them to come out in fix it or resolve in another way. I am not happy at all with their work. I spoke with Donna herself and she said that Jeff (her head painter) would come out and fix the mistakes and finish the floors. He never showed and now she is messaging me saying she is not doing anything else. I do not feel that I got what I paid for.
Description of Work: I hired this company originally to paint the entire interior of my house.

Response from Painting With A Woman's Touch
(Member name removed) and I had agreed on a price and the specifications. He called me a week later and said that another painter could do the job in the time frame he wanted and would I consider lowering my price...since I already had him on my schedule I lowered it by $300. That was a mistake I have learned from. When I looked at the job the floors were not done..making our job easier, but when we got there they were done meaning that we would have to be extremely careful and make sure the floors were all covered which added hours to our job but we did it without any charge. During the time we were painting he constantly watched us and examined our work..he pointed out a few things he didn't like and we did our best to fix any problems. We worked for about a week and a half and one day he said that my men took too many breaks and that we were not efficient, comparing us to the landscapers who he said worked harder than us. He wanted us to paint the kitchen before the cabinets but he still had to rip out a closet so we couldn't get to it before the cabinets and he was not happy about that blaming us for a delay that was his fault. The kitchen cabinets arrived early and were put in the middle of the living room and dining room so we had to paint around them. I over heard him tell the cabinets guys that they could start installing the cabinets even though the floor was not done and we were not done painting which we wanted to do before the cabinets went in and he knew that. He asked my guys if they could install a tile floor for him...they agreed to do that on their time and told him that it would have nothing to do with Painting With A Woman's Touch and I told him that too. Not knowing how tile floors had to be laid and giving the guys 3 days to do it (which they did except the sealer) he complained that they held things up...which it did not at all. He told us that he talked to the cabinet people and that the cabinets would be installed in one day and that we could keep on working. When the cabinet guys got there they said we should stop painting because they were going to be making dust and said we should stay away for 2 days. The work on the second floor was complete so we had to pick up all drop cloths, ladders and tools and go to another job that was an hour away...wasting most of that day as well...and I never charged him for that inconvenience. We came back and finished the job..he spent most of that day walking around, arms crossed in front of him taking a very close look at our work...and no matter what he says, we did put two coats on all the walls in his house. When we finished he said everything looked good and gave me a check. The next day he sent me 5 or 6 pictures of "mistakes" as he called them and wanted me to come back and fix them. Since one of my guys was going back to put the sealer on the floor I asked him to fix the mistakes that were in the pictures. When my guy got there he said that it looked like a roll of blue tape exploded because (Member name removed) put pieces on tape all over the walls where he didn't like things. My guy couldn't finish the floor because the cabinet guys were still there. I told him to leave and I refused to go back. My guy texted him to call when there would be no workers in the kitchen because that was the 3rd time he drove an hour and workers were still there. I have been in business for 31 years and have never been insulted personally or for my company's workmanship. I have hundreds of good reviews and I know that we go out of our way to please the customer but there was no pleasing him. I brought the check to the bank and within 4 days he put a stop payment on it causing several of my checks to bounce costing me $187. He said that he had to pay someone to fix the mistakes and when I asked for receipts he said that another painter would not fix the mistakes and wanted to repaint the whole place. I offered to take 2 days pay ($650) off the balance and he hasn't gotten back to me or Angie's List. I think I made a fair offer considering what he has put me through..and I also heard from an inside source that he was bad-mouthing us to other contractors. Not a nice guy. He still owes me $3,050.00 and offered to pay me $600.00 which I do not think is fair...He got his 3 Bedroom. 2 Baths. Living Rm, Dining Room, Kitchen, and Family room,,Ceilings, Walls, and Trim painted for $1,500.00 and I included the paint!

They re-scheduled a couple of times which was okay. There wasn't enough discussion that took place because they didn't have enough paint. I am going to have it repainted again. It was not great.
Description of Work: They did interior painting. It was a big deal purchase.

my son had placed stickers completely around the periphery of the room, and we had to gouge out pieces of the wall in some places. We spackled the best we could but she completed the repairs (not in the contract) and did a beautiful job with the painting
Description of Work: I couldn't have asked for a nicer, more efficient person. She worked quickly and a room with difficult walls came out perfect. Would definitely use again and highly recommend.

Donna and her son, Sean, were professional, punctual, and pleasant. They cleaned up after themselves each day during this five-day job. We live in a newer home, and the builder used sub-par paint, presenting a number of challenges. Altogether, an awesome job! We are very happy! We highly recommend Painting With A Women's Touch to anyone who requires painting inside the home!

Donna did a fabulous job. She is meticulous and thorough in her work. She promptly replied to my inquiry and was out shortly after to see the space and give me an estimate. She was always on time every day and cleaned up when she left. She gave me an update every day on the work that she completed and what she was going to focus on each day. I can't say enough how great she was. I thought compared to other quotes I got she was reasonable and the quality of work I couldn't get elsewhere. I would use her for any other job I had in the future! I wish I had known about her sooner.

Donna was fantastic. She is a very hard worker and is very meticulous about everything. She pays attention to detail and is always on time. We will be using her for all of our future painting needs! Schedule
Description of Work: Donna was able to completely transform our wood paneled office into a beautiful bright white room. She used several coats of paint to get there and did an amazing job. We also had her paint our entire kitchen, including the cabinets and she was there every single day 9-5 to get it done in one week. Schedule

We highly recommend Donna for any painting job, and would use her services again! She is a skilled professional and a pleasure to work with. I also appreciated Donna's assistance as a color consultant, and love our new living room color.
Description of Work: Donna viewed our painting situation, and dilemma, approximately one month prior to providing her service. By phone she gave a though, detailed, reasonable, fair quote. She arrived on day and time expected, and we are extremely pleased with all aspects of our experience. Donna prepped, primed, and painted a difficult foyer, living room, hallway combination - the previous paint had crackled & peeled to an extreme degree. She also prepped, primed, and painted a tricky basement stairwell and wall. Donna was extremely helpful providing advice, alternative suggestions, options, and assistance. Although she predicted a lot of dust - she cleaned and vacuumed as she worked and the house was perfect when the job was done.

Donna was great. Prompt, responsive. Professional and quick. Thorough and picky!

She was very good. If she was going to be 1/2 hr late, she would call. She was very punctual. She is very professional. I was impressed with her. I had another estimate from someone else that was higher. Two of my other friends have used her and recommended her. She is a nice person and it was nice having her in my house. I felt very comfortable with her.
