KEITH PULHAM & PAINTING

This painter was highly recommended to me by my real estate agent. I called and asked for an estimate to paint the porch on my house and to perform various repairs and painting tasks. The provider's son visited my house, examined the tasks, and said he would call with the estimate. He never called. When I mentioned this to my real estate agent, he called the provider and within a few days, the provider called me. His first comment was "Have you given up on us completely?" I told him I would still like to have the estimate. He gave me a quote of $2600 which I told him was significantly more than I thought it should cost. He said he would get together with his son and get back to me. He has never called back. I completed the painting and repairs myself. I consider this provider unresponsive and would not use him, recommend him, or accept recommendations from my real estate agent for this type of service again. I don't object to the quoted price as much as the failure to communicate in a timely manner. If he was over extended and did not wish to take on this tasking, I would prefer that he just say so.
