His contract states that he would arrive at 9:30 each morning, this only happened twice in a two week period. He was always late and full of excuses. He had to redo two of our walls twice and ruined the wall which had new drywall, it still has a very uneven texture. He is a very sloppy painter and even worse at dry walling! During the second week he hired two people to help him, they worked very hard and were much neater and more experienced painters than what he claimed to be. On Friday of the second week, he left suddenly, taking all of his tools and supplies and without saying a single word or calling me. The two people he hired to help him didn't even know he was leaving and he has never paid them their hard earned and well deserved money! He work is the absolute worst I have ever seen, and despite being given chance after chance to correct his mistakes he still was not capable of doing so. Extremely unprofessional behavior and lazy, sloppy work ethics.
Description of Work: I hired this man to paint two rooms in our house and put up crown molding and bead board in the living room and baseboard in both the living room and kitchen. Two walls in the living room were to be fixed( one had completely new drywall), the other was to be sanded,etc. before being painted.

Response from UNDER 5 GRAND CONSTRUCTION
FIRST OF ALL I WAS HIRED TO DO THIS JOB. WHICH WAS PAINTING THE LIVING ROOM AND THE KITCHEN. PUT UP CROWN MOLDING, BASE BOARD, CHAIR RAIL AND BEAD BOARD. I WAS GIVEN THIS BULL CRAP STORY SAYING HOW THE LAST GUY GAVE THEM EXCUSES AND HE LEFT THE JOB UNDONE. I FIRST NOTICED SEVERAL PROBLEMS. I TOLD THEM THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE WORK THAT THE OTHER GUY HAD DONE. SO THEY AGREED. I DID THE WORK. THEY COMPLAINED ABOUT STUFF I DID NOT EVEN TOUCH. OUT OF EVERY JOB I HAVE EVER DONE THESE WERE THE WORST PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WANTED AND I HAD TO BE QUIET AS THEY SLEPT MOST OF THE DAY AWAY. THE HUSBAND WAS VERY ARROGANT AND GOT SNAPPY A FEW TIMES. I HIRED TWO PEOPLE AS SUB CONTRACTORS TO FINISH THE PAINTING SO I COULD DO THE TRIM WORK. THE MRS. COMPLAINED OF THEIR ABILITIES AND DID NOT LIKE THE WORK THAT WAS DONE AFTER THEY ARRIVED. I WAS NOT ON TIME MOST OF THE TIME BECAUSE 4 DAYS I WAS GETTING MATERIALS TO THEIR JOB. I HAD A COUSIN DIE THAT WAS BATTLING A LIFE LONG PROBLEM WITH DIABETES. I WAS NOT PAID FOR THE WORK THAT I HAD DONE AND I BELIEVE THAT THE WALLS WERE TAMPERED WITH AFTER I LEFT THAT JOB. I WAS CURSED AT LIKE A CHILD AND WILL NOT TAKE THAT KIND OF ABUSE. THE JOB WAS NOT FINISHED SO YOU CANT JUDGE ME FOR WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE THEN. YOU HAVE TO JUDGE ME FOR THE WORK AT FINISH. I AM SORRY FOR THE HARD FEELING BUT I THINK THE HOME OWNERS NEED TO BE A LITTLE MORE HAPPIER IN LIFE. TAKE A LOOK AT MY SITE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF THE KIND OF WORK THAT I DO. I ALSO HAD A PITMAN ARM GO OUT ON MY TRUCK AND HAD TO PUT MY TRUCK IN THE SHOP FOR HALF A DAY. SO I GUESS THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS. I DIDN'T PAY THE PAINTERS BECAUSE I WAS NEVER PAID FOR THE JOB. THEY AGREED TO THE DEAL OF BEING PAID WHEN I GOT PAID. I AM CURRENTLY SEEKING A LAWYER FOR SLANDER AGAINST THE HOME OWNERS. PAY ME MY MONEY YOU OWE ME. I DID A LOT MORE THAN WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO. LIKE PAINTING TRIM, DOORS HANGING SHEET ROCK. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL AND DISCUSS THIS MATTER PLEASE CALL ME AT 843-830-6806. PLEASE CALL ASAP.
