#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company

The above complaints are obviously by a competitor to slander us. Mention this for a $50 discount!

AUTHOR: Painting Crew - ()

The above complaints are obviously by a competitor to slander us.


The complaint im referencing is a person wrote a bad review claiming a job was done for $2,400. Must of been for someone else because we work on a per day basis. You pay us at the end of the day once happy with the work or you don't pay until you are happy with the painting job. If someone was so unhappy with the painting why would they have us come back however many days it would be to total $2,400. Obviously a fake report to try and make our company look bad.


Just mention you've seen these false reviews online and we will extend a $50 discount to you. Remember you don't pay the balance of the job to our painters until you're happy with the work so we guarantee your satisfaction. This is absolutely a honest day's work for a honest day's pay. Don't let a angry competitor make up a false review online and make you go somewhere else to spend more money. That's eactly what they want you to do so they can get your business!


If your looking to save money on your painting project Please give us a call for a free no obligation phone consultation. (8OO)376-4066 CALL TODAY! PAINT TOMORROW! We work 7 days week.


We offer affordable painting crew for the day rates. Each painter can paint approximately 375 sq feet of production per day. Typically that would be 2-3 rooms per painter on average. We cannot guarantee that type of production but we do guarantee the quality of work will be done professionally. Wall repairs, multiple coats. ceilings, trim and doors take away from the overall production. Regardless whether you hire us or someone else to do your painting it should take the same amount of time and with our lower overhead costs we are able to help you save more money.


Please feel free to compare our prices to others. We do not have the extra overhead costs other companies will have. We receive a high call volume if we had to do an on site evaluation for each person who inquired about a painting project we would certainly have to raise our prices. For instance we do not have to pay estimators salaries, gas costs, parking fees, Maintenance on estimators vehicles, sales commissions to salespeople and the list goes on. If you are receiving other quotes simply ask the salesperson how many painters are needed and how long the job should take and compare their price to ours to see which best suits your needs. No reason to spend more on an overpriced estimate. Rent a painting crew for the day and save!!


We also get substantial paint store savings up to 60% off at Sherwin Williams. Our best discount is on Pro Mar 200 brand paint. Some paint contractors will offer to include the cost of paint in your estimate. These contractors will be making money off purchasing your paint. You should use our discount code to save money on your paint. The paint store salesperson will be happy to give you a color consultation and they are trained to tell you how much paint to buy and which kind of paint would work best for you.


We are a fully insured full service painting company. We can do anything you need done painting related. Our painters are also able to do minor handyman tasks at no additional costs at the crews discretion. It's a honest day's work for a honest day's day pay. If you require an additional day of work we would be happy to get you on the schedule for the following day or another day that works best for you.


We can do any job big or small but we specialize in small jobs. We started our painting crew for the day program after researching that many of our customers weren't getting any return calls from painting contractors willing to commit their labor force that didn't return larger dollar amounts. We focus on small jobs ranging from a couple rooms to a deck that needs to re-stained. Anything that's small that can be done in 1 day. Another way we help homeowners save money is we provide all of our top of the line painting equipment so they don't have to purchase expensive painting equipment that they would not use on a regular basis.


If you are shopping around with other companies please beware of companies with no websites, language barriers, or ones who show up with no company trucks or uniforms these could be potential red flags for fly by night contractors. Also avoid high priced estimates with contractors who may rush to complete the job to maximize profits. If our painters your job early please feel free to find them something else to paint for the remainder of the 8 hour day.


Our prices can't be beat by a reputable painting company! Why pay someone else more? You pay our painters at the end of the day once you are happy with the work so there would be no reason to spend more anywhere else!

#2 Consumer Comment

Travis Reid is a con artist

AUTHOR: Azdude - ()

Travis Reid is a con artist located in VA and DC.  He is also running craigslist scams in AZ and CO now.  He uses PayPal for the deposit and then tells you to pay the "professional licensed and bonded painters the rest of the money when they are done".  After 4 days and $2400 the entire inside of my home was destroyed.  The painters finally told me that they were just day laborers that answered an ad on craigslist and that they were not painters at all.  They did not cover my wood floors or brand new carpet...it is all destroyed now. Here are some names to look out for as this guy is a complete scum bag.

Arizona Painting Crew, Denver Painting Crew, The Painters, ReidLLC.  He has local phone numbers for every state he is running his scam in ...they just forward to his number in VA. 

Travis Reid gets confused and will post his Denver Painting Crew ad's in AZ by mistake.  He should have stayed in VA with his scams becuase what he does not realize is that he has now committed a "federal offense".  It is called interstate commerce fraud as he has now used PayPal to take money from one state to the next state.  In other words; he crossed state lines with money obtained in a scam.  This now becomes a "federal" matter.

I will be seeing you Travis Reid....you dirt bag.

#3 General Comment

This Company is a fraud

AUTHOR: Amplified2k6 - ()

This company now has ads listed on Craiglist. It claims to be licensed but it has no license number. I was not able to locate any information for the Better Business Bureau for this company. The owner is rude and the workers sent didn't know English at all. The work was for the day which was eight hours but nothing got done. It was stated that I was to pay the full amount after the work was done but the rude owner demanded I pay 60% up front. The workers made me feel extremely uncomfortable and it looks like only an hour of work was done. Avoid this company at all costs. I would have filled a report with the BBB but it doesn't exist. Please avoid. I've done my part to warn you.

What about the quality of work?

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (United States of America)

So I get that people are frustrated with the business practices of this company, but can anyone comment who has actually used their services? Do they do a good job? Do they move furniture for you? Do they leave paint drops on floors? Do they lay drop cloths? What is the quality of work?


I don't really want the owner of the company responding, that is a bit biased!

We hired Travis Reid from www.reidsllc.com to paint our home. We saw his advertisement on craigslist. The crew he brought to my house looked unprofessional and looked like day laborers. I could not communicate with any of the painters. Travis was always on his phone and I could hear him saying curse words very loudly. Very Unprofesional! At the end of the day I walked through the house and noticed they spilled paint on my carpet and wiped it up with my bedspread and tried to hide the paint spill. I questioned Mr. Reid about this and he said they would be back the following day to clean carpet. After several calls and emails they have never returned my calls. I did some research and found out Travis Reid has a criminal record please see for yourself go to google.com and type in Maryland Casesearch.
