Avanti Painting

We had hired Avanti for inside job about 3 years ago and had an overall good experience, this time was the complete opposite. Seems John (the owner) lost his main lead painter, the 2 who were here did not know how to spray and left a huge mess. After day one of spraying we had overspray covering 80% of our deck, patio furniture, windows, sunroom custom screens (1/2 need replaced) and most of spray came out with "orange peel" look - we decided to let most of this go as it was above eye level but he said they would sand and repaint door, never did, just painted over. His guys attempted to clean, got up over 1/2 on deck but more remains, will need restained. He said, "we got up any and all paint" ... pictures say different. He also said he has "proof that paint can't go through screens and get on windows". My pictures say different. He also blamed me for not telling him they were vinyl windows in sunroom. Not sure how that makes a difference as screens are ruined from paint. They made no effort to clean up debris, paint chips, paint on hoses, door mats, etc. We even found NAILS in the driveway that were just yanked out and left where we could have easily driven over them! They did not sand chipped paint just painted over as seen in a few pictures below, some is already peeling. Then on top of the horrible work John took zero responsibility, was rude, condesending, insulting, and tried to blame me and attack my character. I kept all correspondence both written and in person to the unsatisfactory work. He was aggressive, yelled, blamed , etc., to the point, that as a female I did feel bullied/ threatened and just wanted him gone. Then he tries to say what a great person he is because his guys spent 10 minutes cleaning up stuff they didn't do. Hmm, what about the 40 plus hours it will take to clean up their mess. Procedes to lecture me on "not doing the right thing" and that he is a "giver" and I am obviously a "taker". Yes, we have kept money back from final payment because costs to repair/replace will be more than what he is asking for. Please learn from us, stay far away from Avanti painting and John Fioravanti.

The quality of the work was good but the schedule inconvenienced us for more than two weeks. a couple delays were due to material issues but a good contractor would have corrected it and finished the job instead of just moving on to other jobs. In the end, the owner criticized us for the delays and was extremely rude.

The overall experience was excellent. The price was reasonable. The quality was tremendous. They were responsive, punctual, and professional.

Superior, professional job. John Avanti came to our home to quote the job and then after we accepted the quote, he returned a few days later with his crew to complete the work. Work was completed in one and a half days. John and his crew were punctual, polite, neat and clean, and completed all work on schedule. Price was not cheap but he is a professional painter - you get what you pay for. After work was complete, John returned and made sure we were satisfied with the job. While following up and inspecting his crew's work, he noticed the tops of some doors in another area of the house had never been painted by the builder years earlier. He took it upon himself to get some matching paint from his truck and paint the tops of the doors at no extra charge.

This is the second time we have used Avanti. We called Avanti to paint our condo we had just put on the market and scheduled painting for a week out. The listing agent called with people to view the property the next day. There were holes in the wall from the TV wall mount that looked horrible. John sent a crew out within 4 hours to patch and paint the wall before the showing. Great customer service.

Outstanding, they arrived on time everyday and did a fantastic job. They cleaned up after themselves and entire crew was very professional.

He was fast professional and very reasonable.

Done thoroughly and quickly and very pleased with work that was done.
