Property Management By Jim Boineau

They didn't follow the terms of the contract. They said that they were going to remove all the electrical switchplates, doorknobs, etc. They did not do that. We searched consumer reports and found that the most highly rated paint was Behr Premium Plus Ultra Latex White Paint, and they kept harping on Benjamin Moore, and told us that our paint was "crap." They said it didn't cover well, and as far as we're concerned, it did. Our husband and I had painted the house before, and they told us that we had used oil paint even though we told them repeatedly that we hadn't, which, in effect, meant that they called my husband a liar. They didn't finish a door, and there are drip marks all over the house. When they washed their paintbrushes outside, they didn't wash the grass afterwards, leaving us with pink, white and blue grass. There was no post-painting inspection, and the owner told us not to "nitpick" so that he could make payroll. We assumed that he needed to rush off to the bank with his check so that he could pay his workers. The only good thing was that he was punctual; at least he was there on time. He had originally told us that the painting would be completed on May 18th, and not to worry about cleaning the garage out for them. They suddenly called us to say that they would be there the next day, so we had to rush to clean the garage out in a single night, which was quite a task. The paint looks thin, as if it was just one coat. He was also very nosy, and asked inappropriate questions about our whereabouts and our religion.

From start to finish, Jim and his crew acted in a very professional manor always being careful about the work being done and my wishes. All along the way I was included to guarantee the job was done in the fashion I wanted, but frankly they met and exceeded my expectations every day. I was especially appreciative of their attention to every little detail and the fact they left my house in a livable condition at the end of the day - there never was a mess to navigate. The job was done on schedule and at a fair competitive cost to me. In fact, I can not imagine what could have gone any better than it did. These people are the paint contractors that set the "gold" standard here on the Gold Coast. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not consider them for your job, large or small.

I could not be any happier in the results of the work Jim and his guys performed. I knew I had made the right choice when he said the paint he recommends and uses is Benjamin Moore Paints. When I received his proposal it described in detail exactly what work was to be performed nothing was left out. They simply do not cut corners there preparation spoke volumes even before they started the painting. Very neat, clean and most of all dependable. They showed up when they said they would be here and finished in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Jim to anyone. As a widowed female its hard to find someone with whom you feel you can trust, Jim just has a way to remove any doubt that you had made the right choice. He supplied me with a list of previous clients for which he had done painting for and after calling only one I elected to use his services.
