Skyline Painting

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. I thought about it but put it off as Joseph was so nice to me and my family as he was painting for us. However, as I find more and more issues it concerns me and I don't want someone else to be put in the same spot that I was in. The bid from Skyline came in about mid range in regards to the 3 bids that we received. What made me choose this company was the attention to detail that seemed to be of utmost importance to the owner as that is what is very important to me. I can paint but I wanted to have a really good job done, a proffesional job done. Joseph did do an excellent job re-painting the island in my kitchen. That was great. The job was started on a Wednesday....this was due to the fact that I had to have people come and fix some drywall issues and they couldn't get there until Monday. I didn't give it a second thought that I might be in a complete mess all weekend. The painting job was started on a Wedneday and went through the following Wednesday. I would have really appreciated the job either starting on the following Monday or being worked on through the weekend so I wasn't in a mess for a solid week. He usually started around 8:30-9 then left any time between1-2:30. It just made the job way too long. I figured it would be a 3-4 day job. There were issues with where the walls meet the ceiling. It was very wavy and not a straight line at all. He does not tape anything off and does all the cutting in by hand. He did a great job in some areas and not so great in other areas. When I asked him if he could tape the ceiling off so that I could have a nice straight line he told me there is no way to paint over tape.....I KNOW that there is. I have done it....and the person who I had to hire after he left did it to fix the areas. He told me he would fix it and he had never had anyone complain about this issue. I was shocked, it was very noticeable. I had to go to an appointment I showed him the areas that needed fixed. When I got back he had all his things put away but had forgotten to fix the celiing in the living room. I did not want to argue as we was a very nice guy, the job was just not done correctly. He did not see any issue. I am very non confrontational. I hired someone else to come fix the errors, that was an additonal $350.00. They fixed the painting where it met the ceiling, had to sand off drips on different areas of my walls and paint other areas that had been missed. The final straw that made me post this review is the fact that there were paint drops all over my wood floor and I found some on the rug under my kitchen table and also various areas of the baseboards. That shouldn't of happened. I am very dissappointed. This was a very expensive, frustrating experiance. What also was irritating is that he did not put back any of the blinds that he took down. He took a couple down and my husband took some down. I would have thought he would have at least put the brackets back in then asked if we want him to put them in or not. The painter that I hired to fix everything put my shades back up.
