A MARK OF EXCELLENCE PAINTING

Mark's attention to detail was critical in the final product. He was able to fix and conceal the imperfections in the carpentry. Everything went smoothly, on schedule and underbudget. Mark did all the painting and drywall repair in our house when we first moved in five years ago. We continue to hire Mark because he is skilled, reliable and honest. We have frequently had Mark in our house while we were working and away. His work is truly excellent. We have recommended Mark to our friends and family. Everyone thanked us for the referral.

I had Mark and his crew paint the interior of my house. Mark’s attention to detail and drywall repair work was beyond my expectations. They sanded all the walls removing imperfections from previous painters. The repair work was so good, I couldn’t even tell where they were. Mark and his crew finished in the time frame needed with additional work requested. Mark and his crew did a great job cleaning up after themselves. I was extremely happy with the way it turned out and Mark’s professionalism. I look forward to using Mark and his team of professionals to replace rotten wood trim and paint the outside of my house in the future.

My experience with Mark has been a complete nightmare! I so regret using him a third time after 2 previous experiences of unexplained loss of a great deal of cash! The only reason is that he does a good job painting. The latest and most heartbreaking incident was November 28 , 2018 he started a job to paint 2 bedrooms. On November 29th I looked in my jewelry box that was on the dresser in my bedroom and 2 beloved, beautiful heirloom jade pendants that had been in my family for 4 generations (appraised at $3000) were missing. I filed a police report and asked Mark and his assistant Ishmael if he had seen them. They denied. I always keep them in the jewelry box and no where else. There is only me and my husband in the house. I am devastated. I have anxiety/depression from this. Rewind to the first incident on Nov2015, he and a different assistant Bif painted the back door in the lower level of the house.At the same time 2 other handymen unrelated to Mark were doing the bathroom. A few months later I realized that $5000 cash was missing from a locked metal desk drawer (the drawer was somehow broken into) in the same area as the door that Mark was painting. At the time I thought maybe it was the other workers doing the bathroom who stole it. The second occurrence(I can’t believe I used him again)was August 2017, Mark and Bif painted the living room. Mark stood in my living room and said to me with a smile “These people, they have so much stuff, if you took something they wouldn’t even notice, it happens all the time “, strange thing to say. Couple days later I noticed a tiny drop of paint on my wallet which I left on the kitchen counter. A few days later I realized a $100 bill was missing from the wallet. I am shattered from the loss of the jade pendants. I try not to think about it because it fills me with rage, I feel violated and my peace of mind is destroyed. I cry every day for the beautiful carved antique pendants, one of which my late mom wore for 24 years and never took off. I can’t forgive myself for not being more careful.
