Donigan Painting

I had cabinets painted that were promised in contract to have two coats of primer and 3 coats of paint. He said he made a mistake and it should have been 3 coats of primer and two coats of paint. Well, I didn’t get two coats of paint because you could still see the white primer through the paint. He also said the cabinets would be spray painted, but you can clearly see the paint was put on with a brush as the back of the door was not painted at all. He also broke one of the handles and told me that if I wanted that door to have a handle I would have to buy a new one. I was told the job would take a week but it took 2 weeks. When I contacted Bill about the issues it was two weeks after the job was complete as I was in the hospital recovering from surgery. I did however make sure I paid him in full so he didn’t have to wait until I recovered. I am attaching our exchange for the past 2 weeks. His responses are very unprofessional and he would reschedule to fix the job but never show up. He didn’t call; he just didn’t show up. I am still sitting here with unfinished cabinets 2 weeks later and 2,500 dollars poorer. I wish I could post more than 10 photos so that everyone could see the conversation about the door handle and how he decided what he put In the contract was an accident. I chose the 10 pictures of our latest conversation instead. As you can see from the photos there is no way there was two coats put on those gray cabinets.

We did not have a good experience. The walls were painted and spots were missed, he painted over the missed areas with a darker color. It's obvious mismatch. Created a lot of dust without any cleanup. Patched some textured ceilings and the repair does not blend in very well. Not professional at all. Have pictures to prove. He got wall paint on the trim and vice versa, but didn't go back to fix it. We were told it would take a week and it took 3, only to have a terrible finished product.

It went great. Before starting the painting he provided a free color consultation. The day he started he spent a few hours taping, covering and prepping the walls. The hallways, floors, countertops, furniture were all covered with plastic and taped off. It was clear he is very meticulous and almost ocd when it comes to his work. It was very easy to communicate with the owner because he was there everyday. If you want a high quality painter Bill is your go to guy. He even cleaned the gutters and pressure washed all the exterior walkways at no charge. We have referred him already and will continue to call him for any future painting/staining needs. A true professional who will leave you satisfied!
