"We hired Seaside Painting, owned and operated by Rob Robinson, to paint our two decks and two sets of stairs. Rob quoted us “a four day job.” We were impressed with his proposed process of sinking nails, cleaning, sanding, sealing, and two coats of deck paint. We understood and expected weather delays. The job started August 30 and never ended. Well, we ended it on September 17. We had had enough of lack of communication and responses to calls and texts, no shows, poor attitude, and rudeness. When he picked up his ladders and final check, he said to my husband, “You are the crazy man who covered the deck and expected me to paint the next day.” Before the hurricane/rain storm, we covered all the rails that he had sanded and left open and unsealed in an effort to reduce the wood from swelling and from taking a longer time to dry out. On September 13, we texted him asking if he or his crew would be coming to work. While we waited, we spent four hours finishing the painting of the front stairs and rails ourselves. Three days later he responded. By that time we had had enough and told him to pick up his ladders and that we would finish the work ourselves, split the final payment with him which we thought was more than fair. This time he immediately responded and threatened to have his attorney put a lien on our home unless we paid $150 more than we offered. Bottom line: what his contract states as his work ethics, “open and honest communication,” his “proven process” for decks, is unfounded. To his credit, a day after he picked up his ladders and final check, he did apologize via text and mentioned that his company “went bad” and that he “should have been able to finish on time.”"
