I hired him to do interior paining paid him 1300.00 up front. Failed to show up or call on two different scheduled appointments, and subsequently fired due to not showing up, money has not been recovered.

He is not showing up when he said he will, i have to contact him. The job started in October, we are in February and the project is still not done. He always has a excuse why is he not showing up.

Communication was good and the service was better. It was an enjoyable experience and my value for each dollar spent was good.

I waited until my husband moved here with me to write this review because I do not trust this man. It was an awful experience. He promises the world and delivers nothing. I felt intimidated and afraid in my own home by him and his crew member that showed up most mornings smelling of booze. Tony had a terrible attitude once I started asking questions about the job taking much longer than promised. Never knew when he or his crew was going to show up or how long they were going to stay each day and God forbid if you ask. I was given nothing but the run around and a nasty attitude. Although he fixed the existing problems on the walls extremely well, the paint job was terrible. There are roller marks everywhere and the entire job needs to be re-done. He asked me to walk through with him to check the job, but the paint was still wet, how on earth can anyone tell if the job was done properly when still looking at a wet surface? Furthermore, he painted the entire job with semi-gloss paint, it looks terrible. On top of that he promised to help me with the horrible job the previous painter had left me with by providing me with a letter to take to court and also photos and video which he NEVER provided, even when I asked him for twice. No matter how nice and polite I was to this man and his crew (including his wife and child that he brought to my home) he still was incredibly rude and nasty. I would NEVER re-hire him or recommend him for any work.
Response from A & J Interior Finishing
"Hi Kathy, I am sorry if you have had a change of heart concerning the work that was completed at your home. I am actually shocked that you changed your review 8 months later and I believe the information in your second review to be wildly incorrect. You originally posted a 5.0 Star review of my company on October 2nd 2018. Below you can find your original posting. Rating and Review Submitted: 10/02/2018 Quality: 5.0 Customer Service: 5.0 Value for Money: 5.0 Overall: 5.0 Comments: Outstanding workmanship. After another painter had come in and painted our entire home, he had diluted the paint with water and drips were evident throughout the entire house. Our walls were destroyed. Furthermore, he had painted every room with flat paint and only with one coat of paint. The paint had started to crack everywhere and stains were everywhere. Tony came to the rescue. He was shocked at the poor workmanship and felt terrible we had been taken advantage of. He gave us a great price to fix the damage and repaint. The amount of work involved was staggering. His crew was phenomenal and worked tirelessly. Tony even worked with me on a color change in my living room. The difference in the quality of the work was unbelievable. He is meticulous and takes great pride in what he does. I will definitely hire him for other projects in our new home. Would you recommend INSIDE JOB to a friend or colleague? Yes Danielle B Customer Solutions and Ratings Team Ratings | 1-866-786-8474 option 1 Customer Solutions | 1-866-786-8474 option 2 Email | Customersolutions@HomeAdvisor.com Email | Ratings@HomeAdvisor.com Monday-Friday 7:00-5:00PM MST HomeAdvisor After your job was completed, you expressed your appreciation for a job well done and you willingly paid the remaining balance of our contract. At that time you were trying to pursue legal action against the previous painting contractor and asked me if there was anything I could do to help you recover some of the money paid to the previous contractor. After careful consideration I decided it was not in my best interest to get involved in your legal matters. Months later you contacted me, upset that the BBB could not do much of anything to help you. You also expressed anger towards me because I didn't do anything to help you in your legal matters. I am sorry but I have no litigation experience, you also stated that you did not get a contract form the previous painter. The BBB told you without a contract there was little they or an attorney could do to help you. I understand that you are upset and frustrated that you were taken advantage of by this other contractor. If and attorney and the BBB tell you they cannot really help, there is very little for me to do. I believe your negative updated review was written is in anger due to my lack of involvement in your case against the previous contractor. I am sorry you were in that situation in the first place. I offered you a 1500.00 discount to help you. Simply because I felt bad for you and truly wanted to help. I am sorry but I do believe your second review to be correct. I feel 100 percent comfortable and justified asking you to change your second review to something that accurately represents the truth. I wish you the Best of Luck Kathy. Anthony Scally"

AFS General Contracting Tony Scalia installed my Pergo XP flooring incorrectly. According to Pergo's simple 3 page installation instructions which are easily obtained online, this product should not be used in an area that will have water on the floor for more than 30 minutes, it is not recommended for kitchens or bathrooms. Other professionals have told me the same thing saying that they glued chipboard underneath the laminate will absorb water and swell. Tony told me that the Pergo xp product once locked together was watertight. Pergo's instructions also state that the floor should not be installed over a plank subfloor, but should have a suitable solid underlayment for use under a laminate floor installed first. Tony installed the Pergo XP product directly on top of the 4 inch tongue and grooved planks subfloor of my 1940 house without using any plywood or Luan underlayment. I have had three other professionals tell me that this is an incorrect installation, and that this is the reason that the joined edges of the Pergo are flexing and lifting. Tony also installed the flooring in the wrong direction in part of the job , which resulted in a transition piece in the middle of the walkway. When I questioned Tony, he told me that it was the only way it could have been done. I've had three other professionals tell me that it was assembled in the wrong direction and should have been built towards the door, not starting from the door. I'm extremely disappointed that my $1,600 project is already looking worn and old and curled with laminate chipping, after only 4 years. Anyone reading this review, I suggest you hire an installer with much more experience, and do your homework and become fully familiar with the installation instructions, and watch your installer to make sure they are complying with this. ***Because as a result of Tony's installation, which is in conflict with Pergo's instructions, my Lifetime Product Warranty guaranteed by Pergo IS NOW VOID. I HAVE NO PRODUCT WARRANTY.***

The owner was nice but seemed a bit quirky and disorganized. He showed up to the job late and without the tools to do the job.

Tony was absolutely the best. He is very professional and has a wonderful work ethic - that is hard to find these days. He did jobs that I couldn't get others to perform - taking out a swing set with concrete and putting a deck around an old Ester Williams pool where the deck had collaped. Other contractors just looked at the deck and didn't want to touch it. He cut down bushes that were more like forest trees. He let me know the status of the work and I always could get a hold of him. I plan to hire him for windows and doors and some electric work.

Tony worked on a variety of projects for me including remodeling a small bathroom and repairing two storage sheds. He did a great job on all of them. I found him to be professional and very fair in what he charged. I plan on hiring him for future work.

Because of weather conditions it took a while to get the job done but Tony kept in contact with me to make sure he would get it done ASAP. He followed thru on his commitment to me when we first spoke.

I own a property in NY while living out of state. There had been quite a bit of damage done to the property and general maintenance was needed to clean out drains. I did not expect such a mess and was a bit panicked knowing I only had 5 days to take care of everything. Home Advisers put me in touch with Tony. His professionalism calmed my fears immediately. I called on a Saturday morning and he called back immediately. He understood the time crunch and assured me everything would be taken care of. He stopped by first thing Monday morning to assess the work required and by Wednesday everything was completed and looked great. The price he charged was much less than I expected. The work area in the entire house was left cleaner than when he started. I can't speak highly enough for Tony. He genuinely cared about my property and me. He has an extremely calming effect in an emergency situation. I just wish he lived in California where I live. The quality and price here are so sub-standard to what I experienced in NY. I can't recommend him enough!

I needed this project done in a short window of time and it was done within that timeframe. Very professional....The result turned out to be more than I anticipated....the room looks fantastic. I would absolutely recommend Tony Scally (AFS) to anyone. No debris or mess left behind. Couldn't be more pleased.

Professional, reliable, and on-time. Work was performed neatly and organized carefully. No debris or mess was left behind--he cleaned everything up and hauled it away himself. Would recommend Tony Scally and have done so
