Bryant Painting

Description of Work: Not much. I contracted Mr. Bryant September 2012 to paint my summer house in Maggie Valley. The contract was for $2600.00. 1). He was to pressure wash the entire house. 2). paint the entire house and trim, 2 coats. 3). Stain the porch deck, upper and lower decks, and wooden walkway on one side of the house, 2 coats. I paid him a down pmt. of $650.00 on Sept 24th, 2012. He estimated 5-7 days to do the job. Between Sept 24th and November 2, 2012. Very little work was done. We had come home 4 or 5 times during that time frame, and every time we left I would tell him, You need to be done by the time we get back . Not only was he not done, my neighbors told me he never showed up. We where gone for 15 days at one stretch, and he never came to work the whole time. We leave the mountains the first of November every year. When we left Nov. 2012 I told him we would be back in April 2013 and everything had to be done. Due to some problems in Jacksonville, we where unable to get back until June. Nothing or very little had been done since Nov 2012. From April until June the weather was fine. He should have been finished. I called him and fired him in June. I had given him $1000.00 more in Oct 2012 to pay his helpers. I don't know for what. Bottom line after 9 months my house was not finished. I feel like I was robbed of $1650. I hired another painter that finished the job. Of course they where unable to use anything Mr. Bryant had done. If I where you, I'd do my homework before doing business with this guy.

Description of Work: I contracted Bryant Painting to do some interior painting for me.

Description of Work: Beware of using this painter, construction business. They gave us an estimate requesting so much at the beginning & the balance to be paid upon completion. We paid the beginning amount. The job took longer than he told us. He wanted payments during the job which was not what we were told. Since they were doing the work we paid these amounts. He would call repeatedly asking for additional payments. At one point a painter that he had subcontracted the work to called us & demanded payment saying that he had not been paid. Finally finished the job 6-8 weeks past what he told us. There was significan paint overspray on the fixtures (gutters, lights, downspouts,doors). The deck was also the wrong color. We did not want to pay the final amount until he corrected the issues. He insisted on getting the payment so that he could pay his workers. He promised us that he would fix the issues the next working day. He also said we owed more than we did. We made the final payment in good faith. He then contacted us saying his wife/bookkeeper said we owed 1000 more. I told him I had the cancelled check for the amount. He told me that was not true. He insisted that I send a copy of the cancelled check to them. I sent them the cancelled check. Did not EVER hear from him again. NEVER came back & finish job, would not return phone calls. A year later still no contact. Work was average but would not recommend due to all the other issues.
