I have to say that I am pretty disappointed in the way the job has
turned out. Yes, it looks good and the guys that worked on it were
amazing in listening to our concerns, but there are a number of things
that Ernest said would be done that weren't and even stopped his guys
from working on it. For example:
1. Ernest said there would be two coats of paint on the main house. His
explaination: "Backrolling IS the second coat." Backrolling does NOT
count as a second coat of paint. Backrolling helps the first coat of
paint to adhere to the house, but it does not substitute as a second
coat.
2. Ernest said the fence would be primed and then given a second coat
of paint. I watched (and he watched) as they sprayed directly to the
original unfinished wood and then told me that this would be enough.
Again, backrolling here also does not count as a second coat of paint.
Also, not too much time later... that paint is now peeling up
everywhere.
3. He said the doors would be primed and painted with a second coat of
paint, and I watched as they painted one coat directly to the original
unfinished door.
4. He originally told us that they do not work on Saturdays and
Sundays, but then he had his guys working in 100+ degree weather
Saturday and on into the night... because he had "another big job on
Monday" you decided to have his men work late to finish our job. Thanks
for the rush job.
His website says he prides himself on 100% customer satisfaction and I
can tell you, we are most definitely NOT 100% satisfied. Yes, the house
looks good but it could have looked much better. Who knows how long
that will last.. a year? Two? Hardly worth the price. We went with
Superior Painting because after bidding with a few other contractors,
although his price was NOT the cheapest, we trusted him, his website,
and his feedback reviews.
Well... here is an UN-100% review.
