Description of Work: Paul McCuen was hired to paint the interior of my home. He painted the living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook, den, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and the basement. He also measured and installed a chair rail in the dining room.

Description of Work: Exterior painting - west side of house (huge) needed 3 days just for prep. Very neat and organized and courteous.

Description of Work: Mr. McCuen repaired major plaster-damage and painted our Dining Room & Main Hallway. Our dining room & hallway have all natural oak woodwork, with large natural crown moldings and chair rail in the dining room. The all natural woodwork was carefullly masked & sealed before plaster & painting work. Comprehensive plaster work included removing cracked-up & loose plaster from ceiling, securing warped sections of plaster with plaster-washers, applying new base plaster to exposed lathe, and embedding large mesh-fabric before finish plastering. Once finish plastering was done, the ceilings & walls were oil-primed, and finished with 2 coats of a satin off-white. Old radiators were prepped & painted.

Painted ceiling & walls. Prepped & painted the kitchen trim with cabinet doors, old radiator, window & door frames.

Description of Work: Mr McCuen was contracted to finish one side of our house. He showed up , but always late. He demanded 1500.00 down, which we paid. On the Monday after he started the job, a bright and sunny day, he didn't show up nor return calls. Ditto Tuesday. Finally I reached him and asked why he wasn't here painting. "I need more money" he said. I told him that no further money was forthcoming until he finished the job. He got angry and started complaining to me about his truck breaking down and a whole host of other problems he had with money. I really didn't care, I just wanted him to finish what he was contracted to do. He would not. He simply returned and got his ladders, which he had left all over our backyard, quit the job, and never returned. I had a terrible experience with a previous painter, and Mr McCuen was well aware of it. Yet he did the same thing the other guy did. He offered no refunds. We felt robbed.

Description of Work: He replaced the acoustical tiles for our church.
