"At first glance everything looks good. All the workers were nice.
These are the problems:
- During the job I noticed a window sill did not look sanded properly. I.E. they painted over the peeled paint though they said they sanded it. I believe they did sand it...just not enough. The chipped old paint was still visible. When I called it to the attention of one of the painters he sanded it down but did not address the same problem on the adjoining sill.
- Edges were irregular so after the job was over someone came back to repaint around some molding and the radiators to make edges straight.
- A couple weeks later I had to pull the refrigerator out and noticed that one wall got only one coat of paint. Original paint was showing through. Had I not pulled out the refrigerator I never would have known. A painter came back a second time to fix that and paint under the soffit which had been missed.
- I am currently putting up shades and have noticed that the tops of the windows and door jams were not painted at all. We're I not installing the shades I wouldn't have known it. I also noticed a large drip under the breakfast bar.
- I continue to find paint splatter and drops on the floors and rug though to be fair, the painter who came the second or third time offered to wander around and clean up the drops on the floor. I didn't have time for it and I didn't think it was as extensive as I have since discovered.
- Tape was only used when one of the painters came back to paint a tricky area but it would have helped to have used it in the first place.
3/17/16 update: I continued to find paint drips everywhere. Additionally sills were not prepared properly so paint looks lousy there.
3/25/16 update: The owner called after I posted with the update and offered to remedy the situation and asked if I needed a room painted or if there was something else he could do. I was not at home so couldn't discuss it so he said he would call on the weekend. He never did. One statement in the provider response is misleading. "...given the poor original condition of some surfaces..." is misleading. There was no difference in quality of similar surfaces; it was not extreme and if it were that bad I would have expected that at the outset additional costs would have been included in the estimate to repair it correctly. But the condition of the surfaces didn't warrant it. Moving on..."
