This is literally the worst paint job…
This is literally the worst paint job I’ve ever seen, and I have pictures to prove it. First of all our consultation was in early April and the painting wasn’t done until second week of October. Some of this was not the contractor’s fault it was due to a lot rain in Spring and having colors approved by HOA which took less than a week. I specifically said I did not want my house being painted in the middle of July when it’s the hottest because the paint will not cure properly and what does the guy do?? Contacts me during July. Also, I requested Sherwin-Williams highest grade paint, and they show up with Benjamin Moore mid-grade paint when they finally got around to painting. The man doing the consultation said, “oh that was the paint I was going to suggest,” and I gathered that at this point it was because he charged me more for paint. So the exterior part of my house, the wood above the front door, soffits, fascia, gutters, and windows were painted. I never observed any type of sanding/priming or anything that normally happens before you paint. One of the guys came over the day before and in 10-15minutes sprayed areas he was going to paint. I painted on one of the gutters a color sample and it was hard for me to reach to sand it, but I assumed they would sand it and wouldn’t paint over crackle paint but yep, they sure did!! They said they were done after two days. There was no walk-through. I just went out and glanced at a few things and said it looked good but then in closer inspection, I noticed one large fascia section above the garage was not painted in addition to the window above the garage. You can see the color bleeding through on the wood above the front door because there’s only one coat applied and you can see cracks on the shutters. In the contract, it states two coats to be applied. At times when the sun hits the shutters, it looks like it wasn’t painted at all. Under the soffits in multiple spots, you can see where the old color is bleeding through. You can’t put two coats on in two days. The people that they hire are inexperienced young boys. I don’t think they know what they’re doing. They got paint onmy brick around the windows and painted the black strip above the windows white. Somehow they slung paint on my new roof above the garage. They did not caulk around the windows like they said they were. Spots of wood that needed to be filled with with wood filler was not applied. All kinds of spots missed on close inspection, just literally a sloppy, sloppy job. I painted the front door and the trim casing around it myself, plus my garage door, and I’m so glad I didn’t let them paint over it. I can’t imagine what it would look like because I am OCD about straight lines. Not once has the owner come over in four months since this has been completed and looked at the shoddy work or even said let’s make this right. Our concerns were sent to him immediately. He really didn’t make any kind of reply other than the carpenter will come out when available to finish the project. This is because another piece of rotted wood needs to be replaced. The contractor/owner keeps assigning the carpenter other jobs that keep him from completing the work here. He is very difficult to get in touch with and will not return phone calls. We are considering suing him through an attorney.
