Brian Gokey Painting Shoddy work beyond words Kingston New York

Consumers residing in Ulster County, NY can take specific steps to protect themselves before hiring a contractor:

1) Call the Ulster County District Attorney's Consumer Fraud Bureau to see how many complaints (if any) have been filed and how they were resolved

2) Check for judgments (especially unsatisfied ones!) on file at the County Clerk's Office

3) Call the building inspector where the contractor is located to see if he is familiar with the contractor's work

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I'm really sorry about the employees of Brian Gokey not getting paid. However, it shouldn't have been taken out on the people who had hired the company and its employees. The mess that is in my house is representative of the company but it's the employees who did the work, made the phone calls, and took items.

As a result of employee dissatisfaction I spent over $5000 for a service that is an embarssment. Whatever your issues are with your employer it is subsequently your reputation and work ethic on the line. Kingston is a small town and names are remembered. As a person in a position to hire staff I will not forget the people's names who worked at my house. There will come a time when the opportunity arises where they may be seeking employment.
