Was a subcontracted paint company for Robert Dryden. After a lot of work he has refused to pay us for all the work completed even though him, the owner of the home and foreman was extremely happy with our work. He still owes us $12,000 and tonight has only paid us $1500 of that. Previous subcontractors that have painted for him or done work for him we ran into in the midst of us doing the job and all complained that he didn't pay them and doesn't pay at the end and now we found out that this is completely true, he is dishonest. He is saying we don't want to complete the work (lie) and that his guys are going have to complete the work 2 to 3 days (lie) which is a bald face lie because all of the paint work is completed. We are a paint company. We're not a trim company. We are not a flooring company. We're not a sheet rock company and he wants us to do everybody else's job other than our paint work. Our paint work was completely finished. We did extensive amounts of staining on a fireplace mantle a cabinet out back all the stair treads and handrails rails in a 5000 square-foot home. The beams had to be re-sanded after they were stained too dark by the previous company that just walked off the job and it has been a complete nightmare working for this guy. Work was added on through the process of us painting for him, and we had to stain a bunkbed in a bonus room. We had to repair and patch sheet rock in over 19 places. We had to re-finish and paint trim that they added in the master bath, there were numerous marks and everything else that we had to constantly keep going behind other subcontractors that were coming in. I ask him upfront what the job pays. The only response I got was I pay my crews well and that is a bald face lie multiple times he said he was gonna sit down and go over the work with us so we could see where everything was. He never did that. He was gonna meet us at the job site to go over things he never did that. It's just been one lie after another. I explained to him from the start that our crews got paid every week and he said that that's not a problem. He doesn't have a problem getting money to the crews and he waited right before Christmas and left town knowing that we needed to be paid that Friday and Didn't pay my crew then blames me and says he needs to know a day in advance , I told you twice the previous two weeks we got paid each Friday. This man is so dishonest and racist he is abusive towards other races. He made a remark about our estimates for the job that it would be better off, running with the drug cartel in Mexico, knowing that my husband is Mexican, he is rude and blows up on other contractors and he thinks that a person is not going to get upset or frustrated or argumentative when I couldnt even get pay for my crew we did not even get paid as a subcontracted company we worked to not fully pay the crew no money ourselves as owners. DO NOT I REPEAT BEWARE DONT HAVE HIM BUILD YOUR HOME AND DO NOT WORK FOR HIM!!! BEWARE!!!!! read more
