I take reviews very seriously as I believe it really helps consumers make informed decisions. I contracted with David to paint a side and a half of my home. The price was more than fair but it became clear that his company is very short staffed as the work didnt begin for weeks even when he said he would be out....he seldom was. Eventually, they got focused on my job, and the day they said it was completed it clearly was not. There were areas that did not have 2 coats of paint as was agreed upon. To his credit, David had his guys come out the next am to rectify this issue. Also I have been unable to get the paint samples back that I gave him to match the color. He said he lost them. Summary: David is a good guy who wants to do well by the customer but has difficulty carrying through on what he says regularly. Great value but it took 2 months for the job to be completed from the time I gave him the deposit.

Details: Home • Two stories • One part of building • 1,000 - 1,500 sq ft • Peeling or flaking paint

I will mail them, and alot of areas got hit with 3 coats and it looks great dont forgett to mention the free touch ups we did either!! Tysm
