Chad the Painter

Amazing communication, pricing was very fair, and even though the job cost a little more than expected. Chad never did ask for any more money upfront to finish the job. Chad and company went far and beyond, and expectations, we are definitely going to hire him for all of our paint job needs.

Chad and his brother arrived on time and were very professional. They had all four of my rooms painted in less than five hours! I was so impressed with their skill and speed.

Chad painted the exterior of my house, including brick that had never been painted. His preparation, multi-step sealing/painting process, and overall quality of work were great. He regularly kept in touch on matters that required discussion, signaling a strong customer orientation. The one thing he could have done better was controlling paint chips that ended up in a planting bed. I am quite happy with his work and will use him again when I need painting done.

Excellent job. I would highly recommend the professional services of Chad The painter.

Chad and his crew were professional,prompt, courteous, and they did an excellent job. And he didn't try to overcharge me!! Thanks Chad.

Fantastic work at a reasonable price! Chad was efficient, professional, and very easy to work with. Chad will be my first call for any other painting needs I have in the future. I would strongly recommend him for anyone in need of painting services.

Chad and his crew were very professional. They made sure I was satisfied with the work, and they cleaned up after the job was done. Chad left the paint for any touch up work and told me to call if there was any touch up work that needed to be done. He would come back and put on another coat. Our porch had not been painted in years and now it looks so pretty.

Chad, his daughter and brother, Joe stripped the wallpaper in my master bathroom and then painted the walls a very pretty blue. I am sooooo pleased with their work and give them an A plus. Don’t walk but run to hire them. I am definitely using their services next month!

Chad did a great job and made sure that it was done well!

Chad is super personable! Efficient and flexible with his schedule; does great work!

Chad and his crew did a great job! They are timely, considerate, clean and thorough. It was important to Chad that we were not just satisfied, but very happy with their work. We had a tough project with old wallpaper and Chad was diligent about the paint job perfect. Chad offers good value for your dollar. Looking forward to seeing what they do on the outside of our house come Spring!

{Lengthy review but I feel it necessary for everyone to understand the experience we received from Chad. He lied to us, cut corners, and cost me almost $3000.00 to fix his work.} On 12/15/19, I had Chad over to my home to complete an estimate for drywall “finishing” and interior painting of my kitchen and living room (one room/open floor plan). I recently tore down walls in my living room due to having painted over wallpaper that would have been more costly and time consuming to attempt to remove from the drywall. Therefore, I removed the old drywall and decided to start with a clean slate. I rehung new drywall and taped all the seams and corner joints. I put 2-3 layers of compound over all the taped seams except for two inside corner joints as well as a few joints around my bay window. I would rather leave those areas for someone who does it for a living and is better than I am. All I did for those areas was put on a first layer of drywall compound for the tape to adhere to the walls. I also removed chair rail in my kitchen that I requested be mudded over and repainted. Lastly, I removed crown moulding in my kitchen that left a caulk line where the moulding was caulked to the wall. As previously stated, Chad arrived on 12/15/19 and we spoke about the issues I needed taken care of. He looked at my work that I already completed and said that I did good drywall work and jokingly asked, “Why am I here?” I explained that I have experience with drywalling because I redid a separate room in my home and have done it a few times in the past. I told him that my wife wanted the job to be professionally done before Christmas because it is the focal point of our home and we host our family Christmas parties every year. Chad said that he had no problem with the work that we discussed and that he could have the entire job completed in two days (12/23/19 – 12/24/19). Chad gave a verbal estimate before he left of $600.00. I asked that he write the estimate up and e-mail it to me. He agreed and left. That same evening, I received an e-mail from Chad. The e-mail was not an estimate, all it stated was Estimate #146 grand total $600.00. It had a clickable link which took me to another webpage for me to “sign the document.” It did not have any information regarding the work that was agreed upon or a break down of the job to be completed. I have never hired a contractor before so, at the time, this did not raise a red flag to me. Chad arrived on 12/23/19 by himself. I had to work but my wife was able to take the two days off work to stay home so Chad could have access to our home. Chad arrived at approximately 7:45am that morning and started working. Chad explained to me on 12/15/19 that he would use “Durabond” on the areas where the chair rail was removed that needed repaired along with the areas that still had exposed drywall tape on the new drywall. Chad also explained that he would “finish” all the other tape seams by feathering them out and filling all air bubbles. I received a phone call from my wife around 0945 hours and she said that Chad was already gone for the day. I felt this was odd because there were a few tape seams that I knew needed more than one finishing coat of compound on them. That evening I returned home from work and looked at Chad’s work. I was surprised that he left after just two hours and was concerned that the finishing job was not “finished” and ready for paint. There were multiple seams that he did not even touch with Durabond or drywall compound. However, I am not the type of person to question someone’s work halfway through the job, especially with someone who advertises themselves as a professional on a reputable website such as Angie’s List. The next day, Chad arrives at 8:00am. Again, I am at work and my wife is home with Chad. This time, Chad brings his daughter and his brother to assist him. Chad’s brother begins sanding all the drywall compound while his daughter starts cutting in on the entire room with a paint brush. {I have multiple security cameras inside and outside of my home, one of them being in the room where Chad was working, so I was able to verify all this work after I returned home that evening.} Chad checked his brother’s sanding work by running his hand over nearly all the mudding he had done. By 8:30am, Chad starts rolling paint over all the taped seams. After this was completed, Chad began his first coat of paint on the remaining portions of the walls to include the non-primed drywall. After completing the first coat, they went outside and let the paint dry. They came back in shortly after and completed a second coat. The entire job was completed, and they had left before 11:00am that same morning. Chad showed my wife areas that he claimed he could not fix because the wall was uneven and told her to wait 24 hours and let him know if there were any issues that he would need to address. Chad said that he would only charge us $500.00 because it took him less time to complete the job, but the check was already written, and he was able to fit us in his schedule before Christmas, so she was feeling generous. My wife called me after they left with our check for $600.00 and upon further inspection of his work. She said that she did not think I would be happy with the work. I returned home that evening and was appalled at the work that Chad “completed.” I took nearly 40 pictures of separate areas where the drywall mudding appears to have been “slapped on” with a painters knife and was only sanded down enough to remove rough edges. Chad left exposed drywall compound on the walls in our hallway that we both agreed were not going to be worked on. I then reviewed my security camera and found that Chad did not use a primer on the new drywall and drywall compound before painting. Chad texted me at nearly 9:00pm that evening asking if everything looked good. I texted him back and told him that the drywall finishing was not good but I did not want to bother him during the holidays so I said I would call him on 12/26/19. It was apparent by looking at all the issues, that the entire job would have to be redone. The walls would have to be removed and new drywall would need to be rehung because primer was not used. My wife is a realtor and explained that when we sell our home we would have to disclose the fact that Chad did not complete the work correctly and it could cause the paint on the walls to peel, which would devalue our home. I called Chad on 12/26/19 and expressed my concern. Chad lied and said that he used durabond on every single tape seam. I told him that I reviewed my security camera and found that he was lying about that. Also, around my bay window, you can still see drywall tape on three separate tape joints through two coats of paint. Chad also tried to tell me that some paints no longer need a primer on new drywall. I did not disagree with Chad on his statement, however, the paint that he used (which he left us the extra paint) was not a paint and primer all in one and stated on the back of the can “PRIME all DRYWALL and PLASTER with the appropriate primer.” Chad did offer to come out and fix the issues on his own time and costs. I told Chad that I did not wish for him to come back to my house because he cut corners, lied directly to me about work that he claims he did but did not actually do, and the fact that now the entire job must be redone. I explained that there is no way any normal person would look at the work he completed and think it was good work, yet, he and two other people with him all agreed and passed it off as acceptable work. I told Chad that I just wanted my money back for the work. I agreed that Chad did have to pay for materials, and I would not ask for that money back. Chad had to purchase one can of paint, some drywall compound and durabond. Non-contractor price would be no more than $75.00 dollars for what he used in my home, however, I told him that he could keep $100.00. Chad said he would send me a check. On 1/2/20 we received a check from Chad in the amount of $150.00. I sent a text to Chad and told him that I would not be cashing the check and I wanted the rest of the $500.00. Chad said that the $150 dollars was for the drywall “finishing” labor and that he had $400 total in materials and gas to get to my house. Chad stated that we had a contract and the work was completed that was stated in the contract. With the state that Chad left my house in I beg to differ that he “completed” and/or “finished” and of the drywall and voided any verbal or written contract. I have also been in contact with my attorney regarding the issues. As previously stated, I have nearly 40 pictures of the damages that Chad did to my walls if anyone would like to see them. Everyone that I have shown these pictures to cannot believe that Chad left my house like he did. Every single person has said that this is the worst drywall work they have ever seen. I also reached out to another contractor. This contractor came and quoted me the same day as Chad on 12/15/19 and saw my work before Chad ruined it. This contractor also agreed that Chad’s work was some of the worst he’s ever seen and could not stop apologizing for it. At this point, I have to pay for more drywall and material and spend two days of my own time to tear down and rehang the drywall just to have someone come back in and complete the work that Chad should have done the first time. Chad claimed that he has been doing drywall work since he was 8 years old so I do not see how someone who claims to be so proficient in this area of work could for one second believe that what he left on my walls was anything more than garbage. If there was an area that I could leave pictures for everyone on this review I would do so gladly. I hope Angie’s List reviews this and will step in to assist me with getting my money back so I do not have to continue with this issue in small claims court.

Very professional always on time Chad and his brother Joe painted a bedroom, bathroom, hallway, kitchen, and two toned my living room they had to deal with wall paper and repair the walls They also installed new flooring in every room listed above I bought my bathroom floor at lowes .

Chad and his brother were exceptional! There work was outstanding! They helped me with color selection. They painted nearly an entire condo in a few days. They were on time and communicated well. There price was better than all the competition. I would highly recommend Chad!

They were excellent! They gave us a bid in July which was very reasonable. Chad took me around the house and explained every part of the process clearly and in detail. When we finished, he knew exactly what we wanted done and I knew exactly what to expect. He told me that it would be done in the begining of October. It was done in the begining of October and it was done perfectly. They are really friendy guys and we kind of miss seeing them around the place. Book early as they are busy.

Chad and his brother helped me out when I was in a pinch to get in a house - they came in and primed the entire house in 4 hours. Showed up when they said they would, finished when they said they would, excellent price. Looking forward to having them back in a few months for more work!

Extremely well! Professional and courteous but not at all "stuffy". Was always on time and really, couldn't do enough for you. He and his crew often told us that if anything wasn't right they would fix it. Chad always responded very quickly to any questions I had either by phone or email. As far as price is concerned, Chad the Painter wasn't the cheapest but cheapest isn't always the way to go. We hope to have his company back for some interior painting in the winter. Very refreshing!

Outstanding in every way! Communication was excellent and Chad is very professional and personable. His work is top notch. The fee was very affordable. It was so much lower than I expected. Hire Chad. You won't regret it!

Chad and company did a great job. On time and fast. Even helped do a couple of odd ball handyman jobs. I have already recommended him to friends.

Chad did a wonderful job for me and I would recommend him to everyone. He was prompt coming for an estimate, worked with me on my timeline, and was so professional. I had the living room, hallway and steps painted. He took great care to cover floors, and cleaned up when finished. If anyone wants a verbal recommendation, I am more than happy to talk with them. 110% happy 👍👍😀

Chad responded quickly for the quotation process and was very flexible on timing. We were able to get our work done before the Thanksgiving Holiday which was magnificent. They were there when they said they were going to be there, did fantastic work, and left the work areas spotless. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent. Chad is an excellent painter - timely, neat, very eager to please with suggestions of color and texture. I have had Chad paint for me for several years and have been pleased each time with his work.

Chad always does a great job. I hired him three time last year and came back when I had more work this year. Honest, well priced and responsive. You should pick Chad

No negatives. Very pleased with Chad.

Very good. Quick, efficient, professional, at a very good price. Took pride in his work with personal review and touch up.
