    I recently had some exterior home repairs that needed to be painted. I was referred to ******** Painting/*********************** by a friend that recently used his painting services. **** came and provided a verbal and then written quote for the project. **** had a delayed start on the project for unknown reasons. He did minimal prep work and left lots of surfaces uncovered/not taped. On the day of actual painting, **** left 2 men (from a different company) to start the job. By the end of the day, there was a mess everywhere-overspray on walls and patio pavers, dripping paint on tile, plants getting painted, etc. When my husband and I discussed the poor quality of work, **** tried to make excuses and then the 2 men that had been painting did not return the following day. For the past 2 ******************** has been showing up to our property intermittently (1-2 hours and sometimes skipping days) to paint by himself. When confronted about deadline for project completion, he told me "the end of the week." The end of the week has come and **** did not come for the past 2 days to paint and is not returning phone or text messages. He is essentially ghosting us. We have paid him 50% of the quote, as per agreement, to purchase supplies and pay workers but he has not delivered. I am not sure he will even be returning at this point. At the very least, I would like **** to finish the current project in a timely manner and clean up (we have a mess everywhere).
