For reference when I hire a subcontractor Iâm looking for someone who holds themselves accountable, follows through with verbal commitments, and respects my property. With these criteria in mind, Sean, who painted our home months ago, was not a good fit:Pros:Finished on time.Used the correct paint.Cons:Poor quality application and workmanship:- paint drips throughout the houseâin the corners where walls meet, on trim, and dripping from the wall texture. See pics 1, 2- areas of sparse paint coverageârandomly throughout the house (above the shower, in the hall, transitions between rooms) and especially severe within window recesses (causing settling of dirt to be impossible to wipe away). Living in the home is like a treasure huntââOH! Another area of inadequate paint.â See pics 3, 4- Oversprayârough patches of fine paint sprayâon the front of garage doors (pic 5), on floor, on windows, and on some walls.Verbal commitments were not executed:- âweâll roll itâ âThe paint drips and sparse coverage in areas throughout the home indicate the paint in the whole home was not rolled; There is only evidence of rolling in one small area.- when discussing the walls he said, âweâll sandââthere is no evidence sanding of the walls took place. Whiskers under the paint on the bathroom wall (pic 6), paint easily coming off the wall near the kitchen (where grease accumulates), and the color of sanding dust left in the home, indicate that only trim and doors were sanded.- âweâll fix thatâ âThe repair was not completed.Respect for the property not evident:- Patriot Painting removed air filters from the HVAC systemâthen reinstalled the filters (full of wet paint) backwardâsending paint throughout the ductwork, onto the coil and other system components.I would not recommend this painter.UPDATE:After getting bids from another painting company in the area, which does commercial and residential painting, I discovered that MANY basic aspects of a professional paint job were not employed by Sean:Instead of recalling, he painted over caulk in the bathrooms. The paint is now peeling off, and looks terribleHe did not wipe the walls to remove dust and oil, so paint comes of the walls in the kitchen area VERY easily.He charged us multiple thousand more than a very outfit.Beware!!
