NGC Painting & Decorating

Description of Work: Painted a bathroom and textured the ceiling. The ceiling started to peel within a month; they returned and did the work again. Within about a month, the paint started peeling again. They tried to blame me, but after I reported them to the Better Business Bureau, they finally returned my money (although they made it in two payments that were almost a year apart). An estimate from a contractor to fix the damage is $800. Don't use them.

Description of Work: Hired to paint main level of our 3665 sq. ft. home including walls, ceilings, base boards and doors.

Description of Work: I had a leak in a pipe after a major freeze. When we turned the water off to find the leak, other water pipes froze. When they thawed, we ended up with a major flood. Kevin was able to come when no plumbers were available. When he arrived, he stated he could also do the sheet rock and interior painting and refinish the wood floors. This sounded terrific, as everyone in the county was having problems with busted water pipes. The estimate was fair if a little low, but what the insurance paid. He was very personable and seemed competent. As time went on, it seemed the job just kept growing. The small leak was found quickly, but in that process, he found a large rusted hole in the main drainage pipe. He fixed this pipe also. After fixing the plumbing, sheet rock and painting needed to be done. The painting, a lot of it--kitchen, dining room, entry, stairwell and hallway, were done slowly, and there were several areas that were not done as I had expected. There were several large drips on the walls, places where the paint didn't cover the previous paint well, and drops on the floor. When I pointed them out, the light spots were covered and the paint scraped off the floor, but the drips are still there. The job of sanding and re-varnishing the wood floors went very quickly, but was done poorly. There were areas where the sanding left grooves in the floor. There were areas where it looked like the varnish was poured on the floor to be spread around, but didn't get spread evenly. The floor wasn't swept before the varnish was applied, so there were small nails and other trash varnished over. The varnish abruptly ended at the edge of the door, not continued into the entry closet floor. When it was discussed to repaint the exterior where the plumbing was accessed, I passed.
