Unreliable and horrible at communication. Please take the time to read this review before hiring. We initially hired Tom based on a recommendation from family who used his father a few years prior. During consultation with Tom Jr, we discussed to remove our aluminum awnings with the exception of the one over our side door, paint 2 sections of wooden fence and to patch the holes from the awnings and a few other small holes. We explained the gutters, soffit and trim would not need to be painted because they were only 2 years old. We told Tom Jr that we would schedule him after our bathroom remodel, as the siding would be patched due to a window being downsized. He insisted he would begin the job ahead of time and would return to paint the new siding. The job started in May with Tom Sr coming out to power wash the siding. Tom Jr was to return the next day to begin painting. After he did not show he texted my wife and told her the store did not have the needed paint, which was only a little over 5 gallons, and he would be there the following day. I had assumed he would've been prepared and ordered the paint ahead of time. The next day, he showed up late morning, only to spray everything that could be reached from ground level because he didn't have a ladder. He also began to paint the fence the same blue as the house, even though it was supposed to be white. Weather kept him from returning that Saturday. My house sat that weekend in 2 different colors. His crew returned the following week. They tore all of the awnings off, destroying all but one, which would not fit back over the side door. The "repairs" that they made were only smearing caulk into the holes. Blue paint was over sprayed onto the new white trim. They also rinsed their equipment into the lawn, killing the grass that still will not grow. Tom returned the next day and collected the the payment for the entire job to include an additional $200 tip for his crew. He agreed to do the touch ups when he returned to paint the new siding. The other work was completed to include the new siding in the beginning of July. Tom was contacted and said he could not return that week due to weather. Fast forward to August. After not hearing from Tom, my wife reached out. He explained he had a personal hardship and he would not be working for a period of time. We decided to be patient due to the personal matter. I contacted Tom in the end of September. He informed me that he was in the middle of a big commercial job that he could not leave until completed, and he would contact us when he could come by and promised before Halloween. I waited until the week before Halloween and called again, only to be reminded of the personal hardship again, but that he still planned to compete the job be fore Halloween. Here I am in the beginning of November and have not heard anything. The work is not competed and the most likely route is to pay another contractor. I would advise to steer clear of Tom and his horrible business practices. read more

Hi Tom, Those are not fake reviews from me. Those reviews are from local residents of a town that you publicly insulted. In fact, 85% of the house turned out fine, except for the side that we asked you to fix. You left us with horrible white paint stains. When you ignored my message, we decided to take matters into our own hands and repaint. We asked for professional guidance from another painter, they suggested you may have cut the paint with a different one, which is why the color did not match. We did in fact paint over your errors, we were not in fact home when you "power washed" and we are not fully satisfied with your finished job. Enough is enough with the name calling and threats. read more

Twice he has come to my home and left garbage at my house both times. I find that very disrespectful. Will never use him again.

The worst. Refused to use drop cloths, broke a piece of my furniture, and was rude & surly. I'm sorry I didn't throw them out. Reply to Threatening Tom: You absolutely did [crappy] work at my house when I lived in south Jersey. Bring it on, my still-surly friend. read more

Tom just got done doing an exterior painting job for me. I couldn't be happier. I have 3 types of exterior - brick, alum8num siding and wood siding. He perfectly matched the color I wanted on the siding, and recommended the brick color (blue) and it looks incredible. He even did really nice carpentry on areas where I had rotted wood and it all looks like new. He was done in barely 2 days, his team was on time, cleaned up when done, and respectful. I definitely recommend them. Worth every penny. read more

Mediocre job did not finish and now not returning my calls to come finish the job. Very disappointing.

Cheap. You get what you pay for. He's cheap. You got to stay after him. The house looks nicer, as you would expect after getting a paint job, but you have to stay after him. He underbid the job to get it, (even after I walked him around the house and said repeatedly are you sure about the price), and then had to come back and ask me for more money. He left the exhaust vent un-attached, I had to fix that myself. He replaced wood trim and left on side of a window completely unfinished and open. I found that out a month later when I went up to blow the leaves off the roof. Almost didn't powerwash as the contract stated, we caught that, and he did come back to do that. Fought me on colors. One of the windows was not painted, I had to finish that myself. He install new gutters, there are low spots. All in all, I'm not sure I would use him again. I told him several times, I would pay him a fair price, I just wanted a good job. What I got was a cheap price (well not as much maybe after he came back and asked for more money), and a cheap job. read more
