Ben Ratcliff

First, he delayed us multiple times to begin the work, which caused other subs to be delayed behind him. Then he would constantly work at other jobs when he had promised to stay with us until the end. He lost all of his crew except for one man, which caused even more delays. He spray painted our interior doors with terrible runs on most all doors. He then placed them all in closets so that we wouldn't notice until much later. (No lighting at this point and closets are dark) He stained a tongue and groove ceiling that was supposed to be white-washed. He left cracks in shutters that were to be caulked before he painted. He was to provide 2 coats on the exterior brick per his quote. He was going to do just 1 coat at which time we fired him from the job. He did not finish the interior leaving many items unpainted saying "I'll get those on the punch list". I'm sorry, but they were not punch list items. We did finish the house painting with another painter that was excellent.
