NGC Painting & Decorating

"This person did not pay for anything to start with . They had a " unique " Mud crew come and put a questionable texture (if that's what it's being called) The drywall crew did not pick any of the mess they made up. [member name removed] felt it was ok to for me to clean up after her mud crew. We painted the ceilings and the walls 2 coats along with about 29 doors. I asked for a nominal 10% down upfront but I was hassled about and had to repeatedly ask to receive a simple upfront payment. Then [member name removed] asked me if I could " Get Marijuana for her and her husband's vacation." I gave [member name removed] a discount based on the information she told me that she had already prepped the house for painting and thus I should not charge as much. The house was a total disaster after the mud crew. I only received 10% of the total bill but completed 75% of the work. They came up with a 4 day deadline out of nowhere even though the painter they paid twice as much for was allotted the proper amount of time. The fact is I was never paid for all the work I did. I never told them the job was complete and they broke the contract agreement by not paying and coming up with an unreasonable deadline. Also we had come out the week before they said the job would be ready but funny thing , THEY HIRED AND FIRED 3 MUD CREWS BEFORE HIRING SOME " INTERNATIONAL" CREW. That delayed my work for a week and a half I was not compensated for having to remobilize. They are the typical Craigslist Homeowner, Trying pay sub industry standard rates and not paying anyways. This is not the first time I have dealt with people like this. As the painter I am not obligated to clean up the mud crews screw-ups which the whole house was a huge mess. I informed them about this and they informed me that is was my job to clean up after somebody else without compensation. I grew tired of being lied to and manipulated about payment so I moved on to the next job. A 4600sq' assisted living house that was completed without any problems. Oh yeah and I was paid. I think its unfair to have these malicious reviews just because some angry housewife that is completely ignorant of how the construction process works. The way I see it YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR A JOB BEFORE YOU CAN HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT IT. I probably had close to 80 man hours that was never paid for. Needless to say I was very unhappy with my experience with [member name removed], If I was asked about them words I would use to describe them would be: Thief , Hostile, Lame , Ignorant ."
