Joe Graham Painting

We have engaged legal counsel, and will likely be filing suit against Joe Graham Painting. In the interest of keeping this review as short as possible, we are including the ?highlights?, although we could probably write 2 pages of issues. We used Joe Graham twice before and were happy with him, his services and pricing. This last project (on our newly built home) was a debacle. (The project was almost $20k.) Joe promised the work in 4 weeks, and then abandoned the job at 9 weeks. Joe grossly inflated his woodworking skills (which are currently being remediated by another contractor). He hired unskilled workers for which he later admitted he neither checked references nor conducted background checks, this was especially concerning with our young children. (He ended up terminating one of these workers before leaving our project.) He did not honor quoted (contract) pricing. Personal items were carelessly lost and broken. We do not feel that Joe?s claims as to his quality of painting were accurate (?thorough prep work???excellent in finish painting?). Joe did not cooperate with the Better Business Bureau?s investigation of our matter; the PA Consumer Affairs Board has also opened up a file. Needless to say, we would not recommend Joe Graham Painting.
