PAINTING COMPANY

It went fantastic. They were very responsive, kept in touch with us. He and his partner were tidy and neat. They showed up when they said they would show up. They went the extra mile and repainted places they thought needed an extra coat. I couldn't say enough good things about him.

Gene Brustowicz was hired by a contractor who was working on my bathroom to help him with the bathroom project in August of 2012. After Gene worked on my bathroom as part of a separate project I mentioned that my next project was to replace all of my windows. Gene suggested that he could get a great price on the windows and offered to install them at a great price, 100 per window. I agreed to have Gene purchase and install the windows. I gave his partner $2300.00 in cash to purchase the windows because he explained the window place took cash for a better price and had his partner sign a receipt that I drew up. Then Gene disappeared. He became completely unresponsive, never delivered the windows, refused to provide the name and number of the window company and will not answer his phone. He would text me apoligizing and promising to fix the situation. He had his girlfriend Linda call me apoligizing for the situation. After being patient for 6 weeks I finally threatened to sue him and he responded by saying he would do whatever he could to return my money. He said the window store had a bank check for me for the amount of the windows. He then disappeared again. Never gave me the name of the window store or a contact name and # at the store. I do not know if he ever actually purchased the windows because he refuses to provide a receipt from the store. I am now suing Gene to recover the $2300.00 I paid him to get my windows. Please think long and hard before hiring him. The stress he has caused me and my family is immeasurable. This is a lot of money to us. We are not the type of people to take legal action and have never sued anyone. We simply have no other recourse because of his lack of communication and dishonesty. I want to add that Gene fully admits that we are due our money because he never delivered the windows and the window store completely restocked all of the windows. He simply refuses to return the money or help us recover it from the window store. There is no dispute about money owed to Gene for any work. He simply refuses to return money that was given to him to purchase materials.
