Avoid! Mitch from…read moreMitch's Painting aka M&J Contracting aka M & J Painting. Same person, same company, same phone # 845-729-9795. Where to even begin with Mitch? Mitch, the fast-talking, self-proclaimed honest guy with 27 years of experience, who promises to treat you like he's your brother. In reality, he's more like Borat, stumbling through the job with boorish antics and zero self awareness. We hired Mitch to paint the cedar shake siding of our house and replace any rotted wood. He must have assessed me as someone he can take advantage of. Before the ink was dry, he was already shaking me down for extra cash to paint the garage doors he conveniently "didn't notice" despite parking in front of them. Then, in a gesture of generosity, he said he'll paint them "for free" and tried to pawn off some leftover baby blue paint from his van as a substitute for dark grey that I specified. What should have been a straightforward job, turned into an aggravating experience, with work quality so abysmal it redefines the term "shoddy." Basic prep work like using plastic sheeting to protect surfaces and contain debris was completely skipped. By end of day 1, the exterior of my house was a disaster zone trashed with paint chips, dust, and debris. Mitch has no intention of cleaning up. As he's getting ready to leave, he asks if I have a broom, smiles, gets in his van and leaves for the weekend. It took hours to clean up the mess that should have been easily disposed of had he been professional and took steps to contain the debris. For two days, he hemmed and hawed about painting a small area that wasn't easily accessible from his ladder. He kept engaging with me to go over options on how to position the ladder so he could reach and paint this area. Finally, he asked me to agree to leave it alone, not paint it, and offered a $250 discount as an incentive. I disagreed. Eventually, he figured out a solution: he wrapped a rope around a window mullion to secure himself from falling off the roof on the other side of the house, breaking a window frame in the process. When I showed him the damaged window, he proceeded to use brute force, somehow managing to jam the frame and the window close shut, dismissively saying "old, garbage window." On day 3, I discovered Mitch perched high on a ladder painting the side of the house with bushes and vines on three trellises that were attached to the siding below. When asked how he planned to paint behind these bushes, he said he'll just move the greenery out of the way. I told him the trellises needed to be taken down, to which he grumbled that it should have been done before he started painting, as if anyone stopped him. After they were removed, there was mildew on the siding, that he said he'll properly clean. When I returned home that afternoon, he had finished painting that side and left in anticipation of coming rain. I noticed that he painted right over the remnants of the climbing vines and threw a filthy mildew stained rag in the planter nearby. He used Behr's paint formulated for metal, claiming it was thicker than their exterior paint, which is not true. Behr's label specifies the paint should not be used if rain was expected the following day. He ignored this warning and painted the wall anyway, even though he knew rain was coming. It rained that evening. The following afternoon, I discovered he used my garden hose to wash out a paint bucket and left the water running full pressure, turning part of my yard into a swamp. When confronted, he first lied about using the hose, then insisted that he shut off the water, then said he'll give me $80 for the wasted water just to shut me up. No apology, just a string of deceit and incompetence. This guy gives "cutting corners" new meaning. Instead of replacing some obviously rotted shingles, as we had agreed, he thought he'd camouflage them, thinking no one would notice. We parted ways after three days of work. Not only did he fail to do his job in a competent manner, he also left an empty gallon of orange juice that he filled with urine and left in my yard. The lack of respect for my property is just another example of outrageous behavior. Avoid this aggravation and find someone else!
