WHAT TYPE OF CUSTOMERS HAVE I WORKED FOR.
My Experience in the business, 32 years, has given me the ability to know every aspect of my work to be performed. With that, i give my customer all available options, with confidence, to consider before making a final decision. Often saving my customer many dollars.
My interaction with so many people on a daily basis, from a housewife to CEO's of corporations, it's wonderfully challenging as well as very satisfying, to be so well recieved and respected for your knowledge, after a first meeting..You only get one chance to make a good first impression.

Very rude and unprofessional, I would recommend to resonate with professional etiquette when dealing with customers amongst other things that might need to happen with this individual. I reached out for a service. I didn’t hear back. Someone else contacted me before them with the services that I needed. Horizon contracting company contacted me the next day to phone while I was in meetings in classes so I missed your call. They also texted me. At my earliest convenience I text them back and let them know that I found someone else for the Services and also thank them for responding. Horizon contracting company, then proceeded to text me back to thumbnail app and a very rude, crass, entitled tone in context expressed I should had pretty much answered my phone to let them know something… I’m not sure who gave this individual or this company authority dictate which modality individuals & customers respond to them. If you text me on my phone call me or respond to me in thumb whichever the modality is a response is a response appreciate the response and move on. I’m sure some customers would just ignore you and not respond at all if they don’t need your services. I found someone else suitable for the job and I politely and professionally let you know that. There was no need for all the extra rude borderline harassment through text. All you had to say “Gotcha” & move on. I’m glad you actually did this cause I would someone like you in my home doing anything your energy is very awful and I don’t trust individuals and companies that moves like you. Be careful hiring these individuals and if you are a woman, make sure you have a male companion from a family around whenever they do the jobs in case you have to address something that needs to be changed fixed rectified or whatever. Quite frankly, I don’t know if I was speaking to a woman or a man from this company. Either way, protect yourself be very careful and mindful of who you hire for jobs on here. Especially this one.
Details: Home • 3 rooms • Walls • Ceiling • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • Repainting, with same color • Repainting, with a color change • Excellent - clean and smooth • Homeowner or property manager • No, this is not new construction • Yes, I would like the painter to help move things
Horizon Contracting Co.'s reply
It is unfortunate you sent such a scathing and non-truthful review.
This is an out-and-out lie, formulated by an individual who has obviously had a bad day. I have every single form of communication recorded and my texts to you saved Miss. It is painfully obvious that you didn't like the fact that we Contractors get charged for each lead that comes to us from Thumbtack. When confronted with this fact, you lash back because of your obvious social inadequacies and communication failures, which frankly, befuddle me, a college student and all feeling that she will get away with a scathing review of a man who has been in business for 39 years!
What I did was simply what any good communicator would do...You message them, their number prompts up, we call the Lead, then we text, so that all forms of communication have been exhausted. This was done.
You obviously had a very bad day Miss and those things happen. But you will not get away will soiling my reputation because of your inadequacies to convey your facts to me. I simply was following a lead for which I paid 50 dollars, and that was all. You did not tell me that you hired someone else, you didn't bother to do so. If you did?
And by all means your choice. I WOULD NOT HAVE called or followed up with YOU.
So please, before your try to blacken my eye over this lead generation format(Thumbtack), think twice please.....or i will bring this to a legal matter for defamation of my company and my character. I HAVE THE PROOF OF WHAT I SAID TO YOU. I ALSO HAVE PROOF OF YOUR CONDESCENDING ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME.
So, ok...go ahead, please write that page, or, better yet? Retract what you said....and then please just move on down the road.
