CONTRACT LABOR

Description of Work: WORKING WITH THIS COMPANY WAS DISASTROUS. I HIRED RENEE IN MAY TO PAINT THE EXTERIOR OF MY HOUSE (WOOD TRIM, SOFFITS, FASCIA, WINDOWS, PORCHES--THE REST IS BRICK). AT THAT TIME, I PAID HALF THE BID AMOUNT. IN EARLY SEPTEMBER, THE JOB WAS STILL NOT COMPLETED. IN ADDITION, MUCH OF THE WORK THAT SHE HAD DONE, WAS SLOPPY AND UNSATISFACTORY. SHE WOULD NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS ABOUT THE JOB, AND SHE WAS NOT SHOWING UP FOR WORK. SO I FIRED HER. I'M OUT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY. I'VE HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $600 (INCLUDING PAINT THAT I'D ALREADY PAID RENEE FOR) TO ANOTHER PAINTER TO REDO PLACES RENEE SAID WERE FINISHED, TAKE ON MUCH OF THE JOB MYSELF, AND PAY ANOTHER $1000 TO A PAINTER TO FINISH THE JOB (PAINT THE HIGH SPOTS).
