Cannot understand the great reviews. Quality and workmanship were subpar...just about the laziest I've ever seen and the attention to detail was sorely lacking, as was crew professionalism. Communication and followthrough of obligations was also terrible.
They showed up on a weekend to start painting on a vacant house I have for sale. I get there in the evening and I find the three man crew out on the back deck drinking Modelo beer and they're saying they're going to get in, get the ceilings and closets done, and be out the next day.
I hired them to re-do my decks outside (railing, surfaces) and repaint the entire interior of my house. As part of that, they were supposed to remove/fill all nail holes. On the deck, any rotten wood was supposed to be replaced.
The amount of sloppiness has to be seen to be believed. I'm uploading photos to show the stuff they did. _Some_ got corrected after I complained, but the amount that's still missed is unreal - and I didn't find until I was doing some other work at the house and climbed up a ladder.
They missed giant nails sticking out of the wall! How? They painted right over them with the brush or roller. It's obvious they had to go over them. Did they pull and fill? No.
Whole rooms (pantry, corner of the master, etc) had mollies/nail holes not filled until I complained.
They removed the dryer from the house and the pantry shelves... did they put them back? Nope. Left in the garage covered in dust and not returned or reinstalled.
They pulled shelves off the wall and left them piled. Shelves that weren't supposed to come off the wall.
They argued about the mantel of the fireplace - said "that's woodwork" even though it's just wall paint, simple box construction, and was right there. They wouldn't paint it.
They missed an ENTIRE WALL in the house. I have archways (sheetrock...so "wall") that they didn't paint. On the ones they did get, they didn't paint the top surface of them. When I got up there, they painted the edge but left it undone.
The coverage of the paint they used was terrible. You can see the previous color through the job. They clearly used subpar materials and workmanship.
The hot tub decking outside...they were so lazy they didn't even left the cover to paint the railing around there.
When they tried to match the front deck color (it was stained) with the surface coating paint, they turned it yellow. Until I complained they insisted it was the previous color. I've lived in that house 15 years... I have photos of the old deck color... it was NOT a match in any normal human's brain.
They failed to paint inside skylight frames - stopped at the edge of the ceiling and didn't finish up the walls.
I've never seen such shoddy work from another contractor. See the photos for the lack of QC.
Nader did try to fix some of the work, but his crew did such a terrible job that it basically needs to be almost completely redone.
On top of that, they destroyed a blind completely in my living room by tossing it in a pile, they hung two other blinds backwards (hello!? One side is color matched to the house!) and managed to damage the electrical wiring somehow when removing light covers and wall switched, necessitating a call to an electrician.
Would NEVER hire them again for anything, and my realtor will make it absolutely clear within his office that no one should use these clowns.
In addition, they're VERY hard to work with when you're coordinating multiple contractors. I was having floor work done inside (hardwoods, carpets) and made it clear they were supposed to NOT be in the house until that work was done, just to start on the decks first. Did they listen? NO. They traipsed through the house, did not listen to me, my broker, or the floor people about not being allowed inside until the floors were complete. They needed to be last - to make sure the baseboard moldings which were removed and replaced were properly edged... but they didn't listen.
To add insult to injury, they seemed to be unable to lock the patio door on the house when they were done. It's not rocket science to secure a worksite, but these guys were clearly unable to figure it out.
DO NOT HIRE THESE FOLKS...you will regret it. read more
