Two Brothers Painting

This company took our money and didn't finish the job. I paid the owner in cash, and almost immediately afterwards, the work stopped. He used every excuse in the book.....rain (which wasn't a lie, it did rain a decent amount in early July), his transmission in his truck was screwed up, his paint sprayer broke and he was waiting for Amazon to send him a new part....at one point he told me his brother was supposed to have finished the job (he didn't!)....communication was great and he had no misfortune whatsoever BEFORE we paid him, but coincidentally right after he got my money in his hand, everything seemed to go wrong. Fast forward to today and the job is still untouched for weeks. Now his communication has gone from poor to non-existent. I should have never paid this guy before his project was finished, but he asked me to, and I am a trusting guy, so I paid him. We hired him on Friday July 7.....it's almost August and my deck and fence look terrible and I'm going to have to hire someone else to finish this job. There is blue painters tape all over the place, there is stain overspray and droplets all over my concrete. Do yourself a favor and hire a different company.
