He does not keep his word, he does not honor his appointments, and he does not return phone calls. AVOID this business. I dont understand what is happening. Three years ago, they were fine... now, not so much.
Description of Work: About 3 years ago, the Travis brother's painted the peak and eaves of our house. The work they did was fine, and they were efficient and reasonable in their price. So, when I needed some interior painting done, I called them again. Terry Travis came over and looked at the ceilings I wanted painted, reccomended a paint that we purchase, and gave us a quote. I called him a few days later and we made a date a few weeks in the future for him to come and do the painting. Meanwhile, my Mom got quite ill and because of this, I had my husband call and reschedule the paint job. My Mom passed that following weekend. So, the rescheduled date for him to come and paint came and he never showed up!! I called him a few times that day, and got no return phone call. It was a Friday. I called him the next Monday afternoon and he answered and when I told him my name he said hello and then hung up on me! I called him back, thinking that it was a cell phone dropped call. Someone answered the call and again, it was disconnected. I waited until I got home and called him back again on my land line, thinking that I would give him the benefit of the doubt, but this time, it went straight to voicemail. I left him 3 more messages over the course of that week, asking him to please let me know what happened and to call to reschedule. I have YET to hear back from him. At this point, I am moving on to another business. But, I wanted others to avoid having to deal with this NONSENSE with Terry Travis. I dont understand how he can take any pride in his work, or his business. To be kind would be to say he is "in consistent", but really, I just dont know what to think at this point. I would avoid using Travis Brother's Painting service at this point. He seems to have character issues.

Update on previous report concerning some exterior painting done in October 2011. When I last wrote a report, the paint was again peeling on the garage door after a second attempt had been made by Terry Travis to paint the door. I called him last fall and left a message informing him of the situation. I called again when the weather was suitable for painting and again left a message. At this point I don't even want him to paint it again. I want him to come and sand the peeling paint off the door and make it somewhat presentable. I haven't asked for my money back, nor have I taken him to court---yet. I don't think it's too much to ask for him to get rid of the peeling paint. Again there was no response to my phone messages. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere than Travis Brothers Painting if you want a job well done and integrity in the man performing it.
Description of Work: Failed to stand behind his inferior work.

In October 2011, I contacted Terry Travis of Travis Bros Painting to do some exterior painting of shutters, trim and doors. He did the work within the week. The work was done quickly and I didn't see much prep work. I spotted some missed areas of trim, which he fixed. Then, a month later the paint on the metal garage door began to peel. By then it was too cold to paint, but I informed Mr. Travis of the situation and he said to call in the spring and he would redo it. I then spent from April to August 2012 trying to get him to keep his word and stand behind his work. Sometimes he denied doing the work. Other times he would promise to come out the next day; I would rearrange my schedule only to realize he never intended to come from the beginning. He was an accomplished liar. I couldn't believe he would choose this tactic and not make it right. A good reputation didn't seem important to him. If he thought I was just going to go away, he was mistaken. I looked at that peeling door every day! It wasn't until I reported him to Angie's List and the Better Business Bureau that he finally came out early one morning so he wouldn't have to face me and repainted the door. I was relieved to have it over, however the morning he came the temperature was quite cool and I was afraid the same thing would happen again. Sure enough. About 3 weeks ago, I realized the paint was peeling again! I don't understand why this should be happening to work done by a professional. The ironic thing is that the garage door was done at his suggestion-it wasn't on my list. I don't know if the paint he uses is inferior, or if he just doesn't know what he's doing. I have left a message on his answering machine and we'll see what the spring brings...
