The Worst Painting Contractors Ever

by David
(Morristown, NJ)

Be careful when you choose house painting contractors for your home. I had one of the worst possible experiences when I chose an un-trustworthy painting team to paint my house.

Firstly, I let them give me countless requests for more money for supplies that they kept wasting. That is one lesson to learn: keep an inventory on the products you have paid for that the workers are using.

The second and probably worse thing that happened, was that the painters had no idea what they were doing. My house has vinyl siding on it which is very different to paint than just regular siding on the house. The paint job was blotchy and runny and I ended up paying for the job twice because it had to get redone.

Now the last part of the story which was absolutely the worst and the part you can learn from most. I gave them my garage door opener to get the supplies every day or at least that is what they said. Make them keep the supplies in their truck so that you do not have to give the painters entry into your house unless you really know them or trust them.

I thought I trusted the crew I hired to paint my house and they ended up stealing countless articles from me. I ended up having to get the police involved and it was a huge ordeal I never want to have to go through again, especially because I never recovered the articles.

Be smart about who you hire to work on your house!
