Murphy's Painting & Rescreens, LLC

Mr. Delisle is confusing a personal matter with a business matter, the contracts the corporate entity had with Mr. Delisle was a contract to do an Interior repaint, and repairs to the interior and exterior of the home were added in while honoring the contract. I also held a contract with him to coat a wooden deck. All of these contracts were fulfilled during business hours, with little to no fault. The 8-5 work schedule is stated in regards to the hours I must have access to the premises to honor the contract. I never once complained about having to wait, in some cases an hour or better for him to get up. I respect the fact that those who have retired have earned their right to sleep in. I simply adjusted my work hours and would show up a hour later around 9 a.m. There were a few times I showed up closer to lunch, but like anyone else I have personal matters to address during business hours as well. My contract states I’m not in violation of contract by coming in late after handling business or personal matters. I always did my best to inform him a head of time, if I did plan on showing up at a later time. Mr. Delisle has a valid compliant when it comes a personal debt to him, but the agreement was not to be worked off in labor, it was a cash agreement. Mr. Delisle is a fair and good man, who has helped me in many ways. He offered a chance to offset part of the debt with work done to the master bedroom. This was to be done on my personal time and not the company’s, the truck became my personal truck it is not titled with the company. My Fault lays in my inexperience at that time, my 1st work season in business was the season of 2014 when the floods hit. I tried to maintain a crew and repair homes to maintain and grow a new business that did not have financial backing from banking institutes. My lack of experience lead me to making poor chooses while hiring during this time. I found myself chasing employees, putting out fires, and working late hours to make up for when employees showed up late, or not at all. They say hindsight is 20/20 and foresight is priceless, if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have got myself into this mess which lead to failing to honor a personal agreement. I claim to do good work, but never once claimed to be perfect, or without fault. It’s not realistic of me to think I’m going to hit everything thrown at me out of the park. It’s been a major learning experience, and when things don’t go as planned, or I am a fault with a project, client, or personal friend, I do my best to make things right as quick as possible. The work to the bathroom was done, I have not had contact with Mr. Delisle since. I can understand his grief in the matter, but certain events which are a personal matter, and do not belong here have made me weary of trying to work off the rest of the debt, if that ever became an option. I have recently contacted Mr. Delisle informing him that I’m starting to recover from a slow hard winter, in which I was lucky to maintain a roof over my head and food in my belly. I informed him now that the season is back in I’m in the process of getting this personal debt paid off (as well as others debts ), and I would be honoring the entire $850.00 that we agreed on and not accepting credit for the work done to the bathroom. I invite Mr. Delisle to write a proper review in regards to the contracts held by the corporate entity, I’m sure he can find constructive criticism, and flaw with something I did under contract. To error is human, I’m humble enough to accept my flaws, and fault, and can only try to improve where needed.
