A friend of mine painted the interior of my home as I was moving to CA. The guy did the worst paint job you could ever do. Basically, because I was moving and selling the house, he thought he could do a cheapo paint job and charge me for a 5 star custom paint job and get away with it. 1100 sqft home, $12,000.00. He was paid $7000 before I moved. He didn't have a price for the all job and was going to bill me after he was done. After it is done, he agrees to wait until the house sells for the rest of the money. The house doesn't sell and a renter moves in. Paint starts bubbling and lifting off the plaster walls. Tenant is freaking out. Buddy says he'll take care of it. He never does. Several attempt to get him to fix paint issues, no avail. He's like I want my money. I'm like this the worst paint job and you agreed to wait until the house sells. Tenant buys a house and moves out. I say something to my buddy about the paint. He's not going to do anything, so I hire another painter. He fixes everything, but has to charge me extra for all the paint coming off the wall. My buddy filed papers to sue me for the final payment for paint that lifted off the wall. I haven't received any paperwork yet, but it's coming.
I have been a painter for 40yrs.
That painter is a thief and a shitty painter. 12,000,,,thats freaking ridiculous. Paint doesnt bubble unless the idiot put latex over oil,,,or painted over nasty oily dirty walls without cleani g and priming. Sorry my friend,,,i hate crooked construction workers. He needs his *** kicked.
