Hiring Randy Gross of RG Painting to paint the exterior of my house was the biggest mistake I ever made. He took my money, did terrible work and abandoned the job half-way through. After being jerked around for several months I took him to Beacon City Court where the judge ruled in my favor. Randy's a deceitful person who I wish I never met. Regarding his work, Randy sprays the paint on the house, however he does not use a brush to smooth it out. Instead, he sprays and walks away, the result being several blotches and an uneven coat, looking terrible. Nor does he cover the trim while spraying the house, all the window, door and chimney boarders are covered with excess paint, looking sloppy and unsightly. Also, once Randy took my money he basically disappeared. I received several texts that he'd call me, or stop by, but it was all a farce.  There was always excuse-after-excuse as to why he couldn't speak to me. I suspect Randy is a contractor on the financial edge. While the judge ruled in my favor I've still not been paid. And looking back, I should have gotten suspicious when I noticed that whenever I gave him a check, he rushed to my bank and get cash. Other contractors make a deposit in their business account, but not Randy, he always got cash immediately. That tells me he needed the capital to move on to his next job, even though he was less than half-way through with my home. Finally, I also learned that another client took Randy to court in the Town of Wappingers. I read the complaint and it's very similar to mine. In essence, Randy Gross and RG Painting should be avoided. Don't make the same mistake I did. read more
