After having him paint out the interior of my home, which he did do a good job on, Robert convinced me to hire himj for additional services, including insulating and weatherproofing my storage bilding and installing a well and lawn sprinkler system. All of the additional work never got completed, although I did pay him in full. He took my money and ran off without doing the work. He owes me $4,000.00; but it has been over 6 months, and so it is obvious that money is has gone the drain. Robert is a one man operation who occasionally hires day help who look and act like homeless bums, who he leaves alone at the jobsite without supervision. When asked questions, these temps seem to know nothing about the job other than the most obvious details. Robert uses every outrageous excuse in the book for failing to meet production schedules, and he always has some emergency requiring more deposit to be paid. I paid him in full in good faith, and then he never came back. The well and sprinkler jobs were left 10% complete with no well pump and the hole filled in with dirt. The insulation is all falling down, and the roof leaks were never sealed, so my new storage building is falling apart. I wish I had never met Robert Wright!!! I truly regret hiring him. He makes endless empty promises. It will be done by Thursday, this week, next week, today, tomorrow, Tuesday... I gave him extension after extension and was much more patient than I should have been. He simply can not be trusted. He fails to reply to calls of concern when the job goes abandoned for weeks at a time. In the end he just runs off in the night without doing the job and never responds again. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!SAVE YOURSELF and STAY FAR AWAY from Robert Wright!!!!!!

Response from Robert Wright's Painting Service
I totally disagree with the fact that he wrote that he paid me in full and that I left without doing the work.. Totally a lie.. He only paid deposits, and then when each group of work was completed then he paid the remainder of the balance. He then added more work that he hired me to do, which was to install a sprinkler system (completed) and he took his lawn mower over the sprinkler heads ( heads he provided to be installed) and the lawn mower picked it up and destroyed it.. he did not stop at that.. he went on to see if it would pick all of them in the yard up. Then he called me and I went back to his house and re-installed new sprinkler heads. The sprinkler system was 100% completed and he was gonna wire the programmer himself.. I also was hired to put foam insulation in the storage building and completed that job. .Then after all work was completed he stopped payment on two checks that he paid me with. A $2200.00 check and a $500.00 check.. These were for completed work that he was happy with at the time.. I am not sure what changed his mind. He called me several times, then in a voice message he left messages screaming to the top of his lungs (like a child) and cursing vulgar language in the messages that I could not hardly understand what he was saying that he was calling about. As for the complaint about the storage building, I did not build it, he hired some Mexicans to install a building that he was not happy with and I guess he wanted to take it out on me.. I did not build the storage building. He hired me to put in foam insulation and seal the cracks and it was completed.. If the building started leaking from construction of course it would make the insulation fall.. that is not my job to stop the building from leaking..He should address that to the builders he hired to construct the building. For what he paid for the building I could have built him a nice shop like he wanted for a lot less than he paid them for what he got delivered and erected on site.(metal building) . I was tired of returning to his place to check things that he had destroyed and wanted me to repair his mess.. We left the area clean and completed all work. And didn't even try to collect the money that he stopped payment on just to get away from him because the had gone crazy. At this point I am not sure what it is that he wants from me. As the $4000.00 dollars he stated above.. How could I owe him that when the work was done?
