Adam's Painting

Not good. We hired Adam to paint our cabinets and staircase. He quoted a reasonable price and said 1 week for completion of both projects. He finished the cabinets first. He started the staircase and was having issues with the stain absorbing. He had to go get a different stain and try again. It worked. At this point he asked for an advanced payment so he could get more materials. I wrote him a check for $500.00. He came back the next day and my wife wrote him a check for another $500.00 for the final payment of the job. He was supposed to come back and paint the steps the next day. After numerous calls and texts with no response, he finally reaches out and says there was a death in the family. He said he would look at his schedule and get back with us. 3 weeks of no communication ensued. We tried calling and texting. No answer. Turns out he blocked us on Facebook and blocked our numbers. Did some research online and I wish we would've never let him in our home. So I went to his house where his wife answers the door. I told her the situation . She calls him and he tells her to tell me that he'd already done enough work for the amount we paid him. He then proceeded to tell her to tell me to file a civil suit if I felt the need. If you like zero communication and losing your money, go ahead and use Adam for your next painting project.
