A very unexpected and bad experience with Alex, the owner of Accent Painting. His original consultation was pleasant and he seemed knowledgable. But after we put down half the estimated cost in cash (really bad idea!!!) he routinely didn't show up or showed up late, requiring me to stay home from work and lose hours. He never called to advise of delays, and getting paid was the only thing on his mind. He was more than one week late in finishing a two day job, after constant apologies and broken promises. He also charges 1/2 the price of the job up front, so it's impossible to drop him afterwards, despite the fact that he acts so unreliably. The work he did in the end was OK, nothing great. But the frustration and constant worry about him showing up was not worth it at all, and in the end we were completely fed up. I would not recommend Alex nor would I ever use him again.....
