5 Sons Painting & Powerwashing

Description of Work: "Don't fall victim to Five Sons Painting and Power washing. Owner, Anthony Zaino out of Union Beach, is anything but a painter. My sister's house,, wghich is empty and consist of eight rooms took three weeks. The job was so poorly done she now has to hire someone to come in and fix Mr. Zaino's mess. (1) There is paint everywhere; molding, ceilings, chair rails, kitchen cabinets. (2) There is paint on the floors and rugs, it is a complete mess. (3) Smoke detectors, outlets and vents were painted over. (4) Three of the eight ceilings have to be repainted. He apparently ran out of paint and chose to just spread what ceiling paint he had left thinner... leaving one able to see the roller marks. (5) He not only get paint all over the rug in what will be the playroom, he shook his drop clothes in this room, and there were paint chips all over the rug. My sister was forced to purchase a new rug for this room thanks to Mr. Zaino. I have pictures to support that the so-called painting company is a complete rip off. He kept asking my sister for money because he was "short on cash," and she, being the trusting person she is gave him money each time. She didn't follow the rule of paying in part, and certainly not paying the balance unless al of the workl is completed to your satisfaction. My sister has no recourse because she paid him all but a balance of $200.00, in hope that he would fix the many mistakes. He did not, and she was forced to hire someone else to come in and fix what he did. This has delayed her moving another week. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PAINTER. She just paid to have the rug replaced. Pictures were taken of all of this, and I would be more than happy to share them with anyone that is interested. I don't want to see someone else get ripped off like my sister did. There are too many honest, hard working professional painters to have to settle for Mr. Anthony Zaino's poor work. The work was completed in Hazlet. Since I already belong to Angie's list I told my sister I would be more than happy to share her experience. This is a great site and I am sorry my sister didn't utilize it herself. Had she done so she would have been able to move into the house this weekend, instead she is waiting for Mr. Zaino's poor work to be corrected by another painter.
